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.
