I thought here in the west that it was well-established that temperature checks and mask do not work against the corona?!

Unfortunately, it’s becoming more clear that the government-science bodies like the CDC and the WHO have been spreading inaccurate information.

China handled this quite a bit better than the US and has a multiple times bigger population.
