“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?” ― William Butler Yeats

Observe: Chinese factory workers at lunch eating with their heads down between cardboard separating panels.  Maybe the factory has a lot to spare because they make cardboard separating panels. Perhaps the Chinese factory makes a product that needs separating – glassware, plastic containers, artillery shells – who cares??

Not a surgical mask to be seen.

Nor a single pair of eye protectors or goggles.
