I saw some postings from some people on my Facebook that they refuse to wear a mask. I think the main reason we had less coronavirus cases here in Asia (with the exception of China) is because of the mask. The rest of the world did not realize this until it is too late, and suddenly the rest of the world, outside of Asia, has more cases and deaths than they can handle. As for me, I started putting a mask on as soon as I found out what's going on in China, having knowledge of what a virus is capable of doing and at the same time, friends from China and Hong Kong started warning me about it, knowing that I traveled a lot and am was more likely to encounter a lot of people along the way. I tell you, a mask is very effective. I have allergies. Back in China, I had to deal with pollution. Without the mask, I would get really sick when the pollution was so bad. But with the mask on, I was able to handle the pollution. In Thailand, they also would have the burning season, and without the mask, the pollution would affect my my breathing really bad. Mind you, it is easy for me to get bronchitis. At the same time, I used to have asthma when I was a kid. So in a way, I am susceptible to any kind of respiratory illnesses and viruses. That's why I care about posting these warnings and getting on people's posting of misinformation and disinformation. Even the Malaysian government, Thai government and Vietnamese government can send you to jail for posting these because these things can create chaos rather than social order. Without social order, the coronavirus pandemic can become a lot more disastrous. That's why these countries have so much less cases than in Western countries.
