The social norm around mask use in Japan and many other East Asian countries is pretty great—you put one on if you feel under the weather or want to be considerate of others in cold/flu season, and there's no stigma or political valence attached to wearing or not wearing them.

Do they? Really? Vietnam has no such norm. One uses masks as a way to identify visitors usually from China. Taiwan & HK again maybe but I don’t notice a lot of masks in HK pre Covid again except for mainlanders. My point- this is a lazy cliche and isn’t really true.

Just on Vietnam - Hanoi (and the North has a lot of mask wearing for pollution). Saigon less so. Although a lot of mc riders wear them absent a helmet with a face front. And pollution is an issue that drives some mask use. But the idea that it’s social norm for health
