webfact Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Monks wear face masks on alms rounds By The Nation Tatchadon Panyaphanitkul Phra Maha Somkiat Yansuttho and his novices from Wat Matchan Tikaram wore face masks while they went out to ask for alms and have a conversation with neighbouring residents in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. He learned from the internet that the production cost of face masks would be less than Bt20 so he decided to make them for everyone in the temple.

fishtank Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Monks are still walking round our village every morning with no protection and potentially spreading the virus. Crazy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesofa Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 While it's a good move and will hopefully reinforce mask use into the locals minds, I do wonder about the transmission via contact on surfaces. If for example there's a packet containing food or drink put into the alms bowl, that could be a weak link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Krataiboy Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 Commendable gesture, but . . . If the Thai government is serious about defeating the virus, it should order the temporary closure of all temples, churches and mosques. Tell resident monks/priests/imams to provision up and stay inside - and pray for the rest of us. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilAtUbon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Those parasitic ticks will do absolutely anything to continue screwing the local poor people for their own upkeep and grand lifestyle. They sicken me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sicken me. Vague comment there Philip. Can you be more forthright please? Seriously. They really should be taking all the necessary precautions, & be wearing latex gloves. Wonder why it's not been done earlier - are they somehow 'above' being given advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
