Foreign still wear masks?

The reasons why masks are not worn abroad are as follows:

1, different ideas.

Most Westerners think: wearing a mask is to protect others, that only sick people will wear a mask, not sick why wear a mask. And East Asians believe that wearing a mask is to protect themselves, only wearing a mask can not be infected by others.

2, the epidemic stage is different.

Foreign epidemics have just begun to spread, not enough awareness of the pneumonia virus, the government does not feel the need to raise a large crowd, the public also feel that the fuss. Only when the outbreak gradually expanded and reached the national health and safety level would the government take it seriously.

3. Insufficient stock of masks.

With the seriousness of the epidemic, now even though many countries and the masses gradually recognized the importance of prevention and control, but the foreign mask inventory is simply not enough, 75% of the world's masks produced in China, it is difficult to self-sufficiency, the supply of masks in many foreign countries and even hospitals are in short supply, not to mention to the masses.

4, avoid panic.

For many governments, they preach not to wear masks, it is because the stock of masks is not enough, the government's ability to avoid uncontrollable panic situation brought about by the epidemic. This can be seen when China is busy building Vulcan Mountain hospitals and foreign countries are busy building park morgues.

5, different hygiene habits.

Domestic more inclined to wear a mask, wearing a mask to prevent the invasion of the virus. Foreign health habits are diligent hand-washing, to avoid handshake contact, so wearing a mask is not their long-standing health habits.

6, population density is different.

Like China, Japan's densely populated countries wear masks is still very common, the distance between people is relatively close, wearing a mask is a good way to prevent. Such as foreign sparsely populated, less populated countries, wearing a mask is really not common.
