Popular Post cmsally Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 Wearing a mask I think is a good idea but I feel it can often give people a false sense of security. A lot of effort put on mask wearing but too little on social distancing. Many people I see seem to think they can only catch the disease outside their social circle. Any guard seems to come down when they are with their friends. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nyezhov Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 After studying the matter, I am wearing a surgical mask in stores.

So I stay home most of the time, and avoind my "friends", most of who are imaginary anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Using them correctly is difficult and takes a terrific amount of concentration. You're a very bright fellow, so you manage the job quite well... Most Thai people recycle the same mask for days or weeks. Obviously they don't want to throw them away every 8 hours or every day. All they care about is that you're wearing one, not how it is used. Then there is a consideration of what mask to use. Apparently, according to Chinese officials, only the surgical mask (of the cheaply available masks) is useful. Unfortunately they are hard to come by and only the paper masks and cheap cotton masks are readily available. Due to Thai public sentiment, I'll keep wearing these just to keep them happy. I'm still trying to locate a surgical mask. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is very logical, if you're a nurse or doctor and are in very close contact with patients a mask is a precaution. If you're not in close proximity with patients no need for a mask. As the German health minister and high calibre German doctors are saying. It in NO WAY WHATSOEVER stops Covid19. As evidenced by the fact that the world's most successful country in fighting Covid19 is Germany. Not any mask-wearing country. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Logosone Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Even in mask wearing countries like Taiwan their medical professionals are saying not to wear a mask: In early February 2020, the Executive Yuan adopted the recommendations of professors Huang Li-min (黃立民) and Chang Shang-chwen (張上淳) of the National Taiwan University Medical School, advocating that healthy people do not need to wear masks in open spaces. On 8 February, Chen Shih-chung, commander of the Central Epidemic Prevention Center, further stated that there was no need to wear a mask on public transportation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Taiwan Of course it's no use because a lot of Asian people (not all) have an irrational belief that somehow a mask would protect them. This is like superstition and akin to buying an amulet. There is no hard scientific data that would support that wearing a mask protects from Covid19. Only the opposite, medical professionals saying it is totally pointless. Edited April 2, 2020 by Logosone 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got a baseball cap and stapled a plastic shield to it, the fit was perfect, under it I put on my N95 M3 mask, then I put on my plastic disposable gloves to push the trolley along, then I had to take them off to pay with the money, put them back on after sanitizing my hands, big mess, then get to the car 40 degree heat, unpack everything and put into our shopping bags, then take off gloves, get water bottle from car, and wash hands with soap for 20 seconds, dry then apply sanitizer just to make sure, then remove mask and hat with shield, sweat like a crazy. Get home, take bags inside, get alcohol and wipe down everything that we purchased, then the bag handles, car door handles, steering wheel, gear changer, then go inside and wipe down all locks and handles that we touched, then wash hands again and have lunch at 3pm in 40 degree heat with power blackout. Just another Corona day, makes me not want to go shopping every 10 days, what a hassle, but at least people noticed this superstar wannabe ✌️ P.S. Yinn, did you buy those shares on the ASX that I told you, QAN when they were $2.14, now $3.20 and BUB when it was $0.46, now $0.64.5, better sell because another correction on the way, collect and buy in again. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relocated Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Masks are part of fashion in Asia and I see 99.98 % who wear mask are Asians. Otherwise no one wore mask where ever I went.

Logosone Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) They just love them. Asians like to hide. It's always been true. And it it gives them a sense of control, as if they did something that they can control to fight the virus. It's a psychological crutch. With no scientific data that it works to back it up, whatsoever. Edited April 2, 2020 by Logosone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
