So we are doing what Japan did a month ago and you are in shock?

US is doing much much more and Japan is about a month further along in their outbreak

My point is we are on the same timeline but we've been going through it for about a month longer

Masks - sorry, but people wearing them in public now are one of two things...

If you are not infected, wearing a mask can help you avoid touching your mouth

A lot of people think that actually increases risk as people touch their face

Perhaps one difference is how fast it's spreading in each country. See charts from FT.

My theory is it’s there and people are dying from it, but they just don’t have the infrastructure to assess it.

It sounds like the verdict is still out on whether it’s contained or about to spike.
