Why?

>s actually much milder than the flu or even asymptomatic.
Sure. We knew side effects such as the loss of smell from typical flus before covid was around.

Tests became widespread.

Capitalism. Covid can be stopped if you issue a nationwide lockdown.
But they can't do it, the economy will collapse because it's not planned.

This but unironically. I hate the flu. There should be a universal vaccine for it

I meant that with flu you often have +39c fever for days, muscle and joint pains and you cannot do other than lay on bed. Majority of covid cases you barely have any fever or even any. Symptoms are barely noticable that's why it spreads so easily.
If covid hits you bad then it's more serious than the flu

Europeans dont know how to wear a mask.
Sadly neither does all too many Americans (Trumpians).

Me and my friends wear a mask and had a great/safe Halloween. Many others....not so much.

>comparing case numbers with the spring

brainlet tier

also this, at least use a line graph or something jesus

the fuck is your country's problem though, i must ask.

Except the countries that DID stop it were also Capitalist, lol. You think New Zealand is Communist? Australia is Communist? Japan is Communist? South Korea is Communist?

lol, China is the exception to the rule.

95% of people outside was using mask this whole time yet here we are. At least my region is doing fine for now, must be the weather.

This should be REQUIRED VIEWING for all Trumpian and Euro-Trumpians!

Literally all islands (even S Korea which by all means and purposes could be counted as an island too).

I heard though that many Spanish will take off their mask to kiss each other on the cheek etc.
Lets not get into science denial. Masks work.

NZ and Australia are isolated and sparsely populated island nations so it's far from an achievement, Japan and SK have naturally autistic social norms with little contact.

BUT THE HECKIN' ECONOMY
TRUMP WILL EXPOSE THIS HOWX AFTER THE ELECTION
IT IS OVER

I agree, It wasn't kissing as much as meeting family and friends indoors and removing the masks there. They should have kept the "no extra-households reunions" much longer.

Thats a good point so I raise you Thailand and Africa. Also Vietnam but they are Communist. Probably others as well.

Masks doesn't prevent spread if you ignore other prevention measures. That's why mask mandates have been under debate in here since it clearly gives people a false sense of security as we can see from countries having mask mandates vs those which dont
Social distancing a lot more effective way of stopping spreads than masks. Social distancing has clearly been ignored in mask mandate countries

I'm just saying that complaining about covid measures and lobbying against them is essentially a capitalist thing, aka "fuck everyone else my business is important". People firing employees because they don't want to pay salary is also a part of the problem.
What's the fucking point of these masks if restaurants are FILLED with people? You don't eat with your mask on right?

let's not pretend anything less than an airtight mask with a filter does anything when dealing with airborne viruses

Funny how the countries that most successfully tackled the virus did without a national lockdown and spared themselves from severe economic loss. While your governments have introduced more extreme policies leading to plummeting economy (especially considering how it is reliant on tourism) only to fail big time and the mess coming back even worse.

Because people don't practice social distancing here at all and the only way to stop them from doing that is to lockdown everything otherwise nobody gives a fuck.

Retard normies can't stop partying.

Korea has a competent government and people who are willing to follow simple rules for the greater good. Europe has neither.

Africa has a very young population which Corona largely "ignores". As you said Thailand and Vietnam also imposed draconian solutions which proved to work at the end of the day. I honestly think we should have done the same but it would have been impossible because rights and constitutions wouldn't allow them. Also due to schengen of a single country didn't do it properly we would return to square 1 some months later like it's happening now. It's a shitty situation.

I admit this frustrate me. My boomer parents are always making fun of anti-masktards, which is good (my mom is the one who shared the video in with me). This weekend they went to a Halloween party and they wore a mask. But of course they take it off to eat/drink. I wish they would just stay home, they are older people and coronavirus could really hurt them. Its one thing for younger people to go out and party as long as they wear a mask, but I do think its too dangerous for older people to do, mask or no mask. Because they always take it off to drink and eat. Im scared for them.

#StayHomeStaySafe was abandoned for #WearAMask. I think for older people it should be #StayHomeStaySafe (#WearAMask if you NEED to leave your house), and for younger people it should be #WearAMask.

I don't even know if Thailand is communist I just pulled that out of my ass lol, someone correct me if it's wrong, but anyways I did hear they also imposed very strict measures.

>Japan and SK have naturally autistic social norms with little contact.
We still did social activities that we used to do, just making sure to minimize physical contacts asap. I don't know whether by our social norms that's what you meant, or that you think socializing is not a part of our culture. Hell, I even participated in a sports club for the first time this year.

Bro, please, you have no idea what's it like in southern europe.
>minimize physical contacts asap
not possible.

One thing too is that we social distance even at normal times if you've seen that pic of finnish bus stop thats the normal here. We have just 200 cases

To elaborate, we once went as far as level 2.5 social distancing, during which bars and karaokes had to shut down but cafes and restaurants were still open.

where is the European ethnostate of America?

200 cases per day

Yeah USA has a similar issue, traditionally speaking you are NOT suppose to restrict travel between states. And states can set their own restrictions. (Lot of people hope Biden makes it mandatory for people to wear masks in all states, though with a conservative supreme court I worry he will get blocked )

Our state recently closed down the bars and restaurants again because even though we had a good summer, fall is looking ugly and getting uglier fast. What do people in the comment section do? They talk about going out to Indiana and go party there. So annoying.
