Right, Asia is a small chunk of the world with over half the population of Earth. I guess it's insane to consider what they're doing over there here because this is the USA! I guess Germany requiring them in stores and public transit,, Cyprus requiring masks, France requiring them in some places, Australia considering it, Italy as well, etc is irrelevant as well. As winter progresses, I guarantee we'll see mask mandates, maybe some in municipalities here but of course nothing federal. It is an issue here as it is in other places but you're being really US centric..

I live in the US and am replying in a thread about said topic in a country where discourse about wearing masks is way more fried and stupid than other areas of the world. It's simply not politicized nearly as much as it is here. If this was a thread about healthcare, I would be talking about healthcare. You have presented "two facts" - the world is over it, look at a soccer game. I responded with western countries with mask mandates in effect right now and reminding you that the east exists and has objectively responded to covid better than us because they don't have conversations like this.

Why are you disregarding half the world's population because they're not in the west? Also I named several western countries with mask mandates active now, some of which I mentioned will require stricter ones in the future (i.e. Germany, Italy, France). After a quick google search, I saw Germany (and other EU countries require masks in some public places right now and are thinking about imposing a stricter mandate as winter cases go up). Which is why I saw everyone wearing masks in social media at events in Germany, Denmark, etc. What the fuck is your point? I'm not even saying it's just a US issue but I live in the US so I'm talking about it in the sub of my state in the US. What point are you arguing? Give up because some other countries suck at it too (even though most of the world things we're a dumpster fire right now)? You literally have rebutted with no facts other than it's not just the US, look at soccer game, world over it. I'm glad you feel comfortable speaking for the population of the world.
