Aside from an intentionally weaponized virus (for which I have seen no proof), what else would explain this pattern?https://twitter.com/chenweihua/status/1330600121722167302 …

It’s a culture thing. Rugged Western individualism in dense cities doesn’t do well in pandemics. Compliance was higher in Asian countries and the lockdown measures were almost always enforced (much to the chagrin of our MSM). They also had an awesome contact tracing system.

In discussions like this one, it is often forgotten that Australia and New Zealand are rugged Western individualist societies and, at the same time, they controlled the epidemic very well until now.

Right. Their measures are not exactly the same. But Japan reported 9,591 new cases in the past week, vs 1,119 in S Korea and 233 in the Chinese mainland. Overall Japanese are very disciplined to avoid mass gatherings. They are the people who pioneered mask wearing for flu

It's not rocket science, no kooky cross immunity theory needed to explain East Asian success. Those countries that took the disease seriously and implemented NPIs did well: Finland, Norway, Denmark, NZ, Australia. Indonesia is an example of an E Asian country that didn't do well.

Some South American countries completely s**t the bed. More than half the population of Peru and Ecuador have been infected. US' performance so far is comparable to Brazil.

Do you know what the Japanese citizens did on their own? I have a friend from China living in the U.S. She was trying to convince her poor ignorant American friends to buy a few masks, probably before the government was telling us not to wear them.

Asians almost all wear masks voluntarily. Didn’t need government mandates. They did so for normal colds before covid. They follow science.
