One main question I have here - were they wearing masks? There's this (likely wrong) belief now that if we all just put on masks, we'll be fine.

> But there was no coronavirus in Beijing so why would you need to wear masks? Yup - but question is - did they do anyway? I'm not sure what the current regulations are.

If the whole of China was wearing masks all the time?
