Popular Post webfact Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Pattaya: "I'm not sick and it's my right not to wear a mask" - Thai man makes a video stand at market A video of a furious Thai man at a Pattaya market has been widely viewed on social media. Special services officials had to call the police after the man refused to leave the Na Klua New Market because he was not wearing a face mask. The man had stood his ground and said that his rights were being impinged upon. Thai media 77kaoded went to the market where they spoke with an official called Rattanasak who confirmed the case. Picture: 77kaoded According to the official the man said: "I am not sick and it is my right not to wear a mask". He only left the scene when police backup was called. Thaivisa notes that while it is not illegal to be out without a face mask a condition of entry to places like markets is dependent on wearing a mask.

Saying the system is useless but at the same time worrying that its used to track them (how can a system be worthless on one side while work perfectly to track them) Its a rule to wear masks at markets so just do it its not that hard to do. 45 1 6 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 He doesn't know he's not infected. Many cases have no symptoms. I guess he didn't get the memo. I'm somewhat impressed though to hear that he does understand that the point of everyone wearing masks is to protect others. 25 2 7 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do not underestimate them, they managed to do it! However, please don‘t be racist, there is no reason. Just look at the stupid nonsense Neil Fergusson (Professor Lockdown) came up with, flawed models, totally wrong coding, and so on. On the other side look at this Thai, he understood that if he is not sick he cannot infect anyone, which is absolutely logic and indisputable correct. So please do not engage in racism and Thai bashing. 31 6 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing a mask reduces the chances of that. Legal or not, he has no moral or ethical "right" to do that. 27 2 9 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais in general are massively more advanced in their understanding of the need for mask wearing, then lets say Americans, the "exceptional" nation in the lead (Number One) in Covid-19 cases and deaths. This should never be a political issue. It's a freakin' public health issue. Edited May 26, 2020 by Jingthing 12 1 6 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the reverse, he might pick up the virus from a market worker or a shopper while he's in the confines of the market. Who could disagree that prevention is critical and is not rocket science. 6 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It astonishes me that some people believe that the mandatory wearing of face masks was implemented solely to protect themselves, and not the other members of the general public. Imagine sneezing or coughing in a public place whilst not wearing a mask. Under the current climate you are liable to get lynched! 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would have read the original article then you would have noticed that the man never claimed that the masks where to protect himself, and he would refuse to protect himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all the data is in society has got to realise that catching Chinese Flu isn't a death sentence by a long shot At the moment the Thais treat it that way If you told a Thai person you had it they probably wouldn't speak to you again There is no absolutely concrete evidence that wearing a smelly old mask (and that is what most are wearing) has any effect whatsoever. Hardly anybody wears a mask in Europe and it's almost sizzled out there now People need to get a grip and move on with life A society of people wearing masks & having no human contact all the time will fail It's just not natural and I've become to hate seeing non communicative/non tactile robots everywhere 5 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any evidence would be based on fresh masks all the time, putting it on correctly, taking it off correctly Not filthy old masks worn day after day Taking them on and off with dirty hands There are protocols in hospitals, that's why they work in that environment (sometimes!) How did 100+ doctors die in Italy if they are so effective?? 5 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
