Popular Post bkk6060 Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 Unfortunately, the Chinese seem to be nose pickers, sneeze and often cough with no coverup. Lots of Chinese will be here this New Years weekend. I am wearing a mask and avoiding Maya/Nimman area, all the other malls and any of the tourist spots. Maybe a waste but at least an attempt to avoid possible exposure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 No departures ever had a thermal scan area on 21st. Bkk, pvg- Shanghai, Seattle. And Seattle had no check on arrival and this was after first case showed up there. It's obvious the world is not prepared for this kind of thing even after the SARS lesson. Upon entry on the 26th of December there was an area where they had a camera on tripods with a lady looking at the screen the little 3 by 3 inch LCD screen behind the camera that was the thermal imaging check in Thailand swampy on arrival. Surprisingly few people were wearing masks in Shanghai Airport but I was the whole trip back to USA because of all the coughing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRS1301 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Those paper "surigcal masks" are fairly useless after 6 minutes, (from previous infection control studies) they are saturated with exhaled moisture, and do prevent inhaled particles very well as that is not their design feature. https://www.nursingtimes.net/clinical-archive/infection-control/the-effectiveness-of-surgical-face-masks-what-the-literature-shows-30-09-2003/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
