Q: In this epidemic, why are few people wearing masks on the streets of European and American countries?
A: The requirement to wear masks in China is based on the attitude that everyone may be a virus carrier to prevent the spread of the epidemic. In view of the development of the epidemic in China, this idea is understandable. Therefore, wearing a mask in China can not only protect ourselves but also those around us, so people who are infected or may be infected must wear masks.
Foreign countries have adopted an attitude of never suspicion of crime, that is, they first assume that every ordinary person is not a carrier of the virus, and the probability of contact with the virus-infected person is very small, so they do not need to wear a mask.
There is no right or wrong between these two kinds of thinking. Perhaps it can be said that China has adopted stricter anti-epidemic measures. Whatever measures are taken, they are decided based on the current state.
