Educational levels are dismally low...as bad as Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, despite these countries being much poorer than Thailand. People in these countries act like sheep. Now if the country could get people to comply with traffic laws and shame people who disobey them, I would expect all Thais to sheepishly comply very quickly. critical thinking breaking down in the west? https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-number-of-uk-deaths-rise-by-260-taking-total-to-1-019-11965035 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Snuller21 Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2020 Oh yes. We are wearing masks, and the reason is that Thais are simply obsessed with masks, and if we do NOT wear a mask, we cannot go shopping. But But, If Thais bothered to read what WHO write about masks, then they would look different on this case. Masks are only for Doctors, Nurses that work with infected persons, and it stop people from spitting, and breathing OUT mucus. It does NOT stop people from getting infected, it stop other people that do not wear a mask being infected by the person that wear a mask. Easy for some to understand, and very difficult for others to understand. Where do you belong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Crossy said: I agree. I have a few simple surgical masks (you can even wash them if careful). I wear one:- When a place asks me to to permit entry. When out in public, purely to protect me from the death stare of the locals. When passing through police checkpoints. In the office (because it is required). Does it help protect me or others? Maybe, maybe not although there does seem to be some correlation between mass mask wearing and reduced corona spread. Does it really matter, it's a case of when in Rome (probably not a good example at this time). the trouble in imo is that many that 'live' here or scam to remain here believe that they are superior to Thais and Asians in general, so they wouldn't care if the Thais worry about dying from a disease they may be carrying. Love to see them gathered up and put into a detention center.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how rapidly the virus has spread in Europe where people seem to be reluctant to wear mask probably because they are unavailable. And then compare how the virus is spreading in Asia where mask wearing is more common.

SpanishExpat Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 When will they finally learn, that handing out a coffee to a person not wearing a mask WON`T infect them! However, they may get infected touching hundreds of bank notes per day. Guess that coffee shop owner stated in the article doesn`t use plastic gloves or desinfects every bank note. I am not surprised by that "farang bashing", but that is the result if a government/media lacks to inform their population properly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one store I commented to another farang who was waiting the line it was really hard to find masks these days. He was not wearing a mask and started on about they are largely ineffective and joking how mine didn't fit right and he could see my teeth as I smiled and all the little viruses were creeping in from the sides (in UK accent). I didn't want to get into a confrontation so just told him I wear a mask to keep my hands off my face. He was quite after that. yea, they're doing so well over there aren't they?

yogi100 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Don Mega said: They are all useless... the masks that is. Take a mask and lay it on a dry surface. Sprinkle some dust from a vacuum cleaner on it. You will find that very little or none at all of the dust will penetrate through to the dry surface. Shake the mask to remove the dust. Then do the same with a spray of water from a trigger operated liquid dispenser on the same scale and of the same volume as particles of spray would be expelled by a cough or a sneeze. Bear in mind few people would actually cough or sneeze into someone's face. Again very few particles would find their way through the mask to the dry surface. While they are not foolproof nor totally effective the aforementioned experiment will demonstrate that they are hardly 'useless'. It takes but a minute or two to attach some sticky tape to the sides of mask where a gap could appear as that seems to be a major concern regarding these masks. The plague is spreading like wildfire in Europe and the USA where few people wear masks for whatever reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
