“NO MASKS WERE REQUIRED TO FIGHT THIS”
Wait, are you saying it’s interesting that no masks were required…for AIDS?
Or that no masks were required to fight SARS-NCoV-2?
The first is just dumb, and the second has ample proof against in the regularly occurring respiratory viruses that flow out of eastern Asia into the densely populated centers in southeast Asia, China, and Japan. I mean – there’s a reason these viruses don’t normally gain much traction in places like this – because everyone there knows to wear a mask so that it won’t spread.
