Intensive care doctor Su Yifeng pointed out that the key factor behind the major outbreak is the lifting of the mask mandate, leading to many people not wearing masks and increasing exposure to the virus. Su also mentioned the surge of Streptococcus suis, known as the 'cannibal bacteria,' in Japan, attributing it to reduced mask usage and urging the vulnerable populations to continue wearing masks properly.
