Oh, it had some support, but you're Western. I was paying some attention to the West, bu the most experienced people were on the East, with one German fellow being a pro in the area, so I listened to them. Their guidance was very similar to Japans three Cs.
Three Cs”<avoid> (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings)
Notice the last two involve social distancing by avoidance? So social distancing was accepted across cultures, but different approaches.
Singapore and Japan had nice articles and videos on how Covid could stay in the air for hours and Singapore wanted you to have less AC and open the windows. Japan made these nice videos showing you how it could stay in the air and circulate inside AC building and rooms. And the Asians have a mask culture so there was no problem with wearing masks. I had no problem wearing a mask indoors, etc. Many expats eschewed the maks for their politics, but we didn't have much Covid where I was.
