>Japan which had a strong culture of wearing masks

Which is only sorta true in the sense that people who are sick often wear them and they're not almost unheard of like in the West. But pre-pandemic, go out on a crowded street in Tokyo and you probably wouldn't see more than a few masks if you saw any.

IIRC 10-30% of people wear mask in winter before covid.
