There is a direct correlation between mask-wearing in a country and the the numbers of CoVid19 cases.  Epidemiologists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong report this finding based on their analysis of global CoVid statistics and the Google Trends relative search volume on the topic of face masks.

 

The researchers show that the higher the online interest of that country’s population is about face masks, the lower the average daily number of CoVid cases in that country.  Vietnam and Hong Kong with the highest online mask buzz put countries like the US, Russia, the UK, and France with low mask interest to shame when it comes to CoVid control.

 

Let’s mask up and change that.
