Btw almost 40% of the first cases in Tokyo is from the tiny red light district of Kabukichou.
Which I think is a showcase of how the spread is way less potent than any "model" except that in the West, big city degenerates with their multiple sex partners and "open relationships" caused the whole epidemic to flare up worse the HIV in the 80s. And NY gay community not only NOT get the basic memo on COVID, they couldn't even stop lick each other's poop as late as end of March 2020 (https://nypost.com/2020/03/24/nyc-declares-war-on-rim-jobs-in-graphic-health-department-memo/).
See other even denser cities like Seoul or Hong Kong, and see how based Taiwan that closed their border away from China at first signs of trouble practically saved the nation.
Yeah but in this situation they certainly increased mask wearing on account the virus, and the fact they all, or most, do this has inhibited the spread.
It is more than anecdotal this diminishes spread, we see all the super spreader cases are at soccer games and choir practices where moisture droplets are emitted. The virus may penetrate the mask but wearing a mask lessens the viral load in the air by trapping some moisture, its effect is to reduce viral load in the air and thus reduce the rate of transmission.
I get that it's not normative in america to do this, and it contributes to an atmosphere of anxiety, however covid is serious and like the japanese we should be conscientious and responsible, not dragged kicking and screaming, this is an instance where trumpets look as bad as libtards and this phenonmenan is validating that to people.
The masks don't help with this virus. It is smaller than the holes in the mask. That's why the N95 masks were reserved for health care workers, those masks DO keep that virus out.
The virus itself is smaller than the holes in a cloth mask, but as i said in other comments there is a lot of indication that it is transmitted in water droplets. That the main spread case in South Korea was at a church where they were doing something which involved spraying. Or in italy where soccer matches where crowds scream and yell was a super spreader.
And this is intuitive, we know a sneeze with its moisture will release the virus and you dont want to be sneezed on by a sick person, that person cover there sneeze so the germs dont go spraying everywhere.
That the virus is attached to moisture and the masks reduce the emitted moisture, so in enclosed spaces like subways or even stores, people wearing masks reduces viral load in the air by reducing moisture and fewer people will contract the virus. It does not eliminate it but it slows its spread. That's why all these mask wearing countries- japan, South Korea, taiwan, have slower spread, japan did not even have lockdown, what they do different is the majority wears masks.
Based. Almost no immigration. Maintains cultural identity. Uses common sense during the outbreak.

wut?
im ded.
whatever the fuck you are having sex with, if it has covid, you are going to be exposed to it long before you start eating each others poop.
Damn it Majima!
Also the masks help, Tokyo, Seoul, taiwan, they all wear masks
They wear masks when they have the sniffles. It's a culture thing and it's not even close to being everyone.

Get fucked
Masks don't do shit.
So then what did japan do different that they had such slower spread ?

And not fat. Sorry to say it, but obesity has played an important role in this crisis
