Hey, not sure if you will see this but it was the only way I could respond to your message in the other thread about mandatory masks, since the original thread got locked.

First, I want to apologize for not originally linking my sources, that was a rookie mistake and I know better.

Here they are:

Japan vs USA Deaths (Influenza and Pneumonia) https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-vs-japan-top-10-causes-of-death

Japan Deaths 2018 (Influenza and Pneumonia) https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/japan-influenza-pneumonia

USA Deaths 2018 (Influenza and Pneumonia) https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/united-states-influenza-pneumonia

Typically, Influenza and pneumonia ranks in the top three of Japan’s cause of death, while in the USA it’s usually in the top ten.

Finally, in regards to what you said, “...do you actually think all or even most Japanese people wear masks around in normatimes? It's a tiny percentage at any one time.” No I do not believe all or even most everyone in Japan wears masks during normal times, but I do believe they wear them much more often then the citizens of the USA. I was mainly responding to another person who said that, “...preliminary and anecdotal data from countries like Japan and Korea has shown that their existing mask culture has helped in their fight against the disease.” I disagreed with that individual on what they said, and I am now showing my reasons why I disagreed with them to you. I hope I have helped you understand my point. These are just interesting facts that help me to believe that mask wearing doesn’t do much to prevent the spread of airborne illnesses such as influenza and pneumonia. I hope and pray you see this message, God bless!
