      Stop me if you heard this one. Dr. Wu realized that the pneumonic plague was airborne and could spread person-to-person and said people should wear masks. French doctor mocked this, insinuated Asian doctors couldn't be right, refused to wear a mask—and got infected and died.https://twitter.com/raykwong/status/1369704809918472193 …

      And then "suddenly masks were in high demand." That was 1910. Dr. Wu also established an effective quarantine and created safe-handling procedures for the deceased which essentially ended the terrible epidemic. He then modernized China's medical services. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4791421/ …pic.twitter.com/Dn0wTD7x5b

          I saw this photo last year. It was taken during the 1919 pandemic in Australia. I could not help wondering how did something that was so obviously accepted a century ago as a way of controlling a virus become so stupidly debated now.pic.twitter.com/YAfw28MEvT

          They didn’t have Trump. BTW, Australia did fine this time too, with their COVID-19 pandemic response.

          I live in Georgia. Many people wear masks, but, alas, they are not and will never be in high demand.
