Sure thing, Canuck.

Never mind that there is very strong scientific evidence by now that massive mask wearing is very effective in reducing the spread of the deadly virus. 

So  would  blowing  your own brains out, that would stop it dead in it's  tracks.

So the Thais  continually  "yo-yo" mask wearing makes it a farce, non stop  fiddling with them.

So why no compulsory gloves?

What would gloves do? Do you understand anything about the spread of Covid-19?

How does he know he’s not a carrier? Has he been tested?

What harm does wearing a mask do?

Drs do to stop breathing into wounds when treating patients or when being around people with airborne communicable diseases, so why wouldn’t we follow such a lead?

I see American n Euro people in Kamala, Phuket walking around sitting in restaurants and wearing no masks. Pizza shop owner served me the other evening with a mask on while handling my food.

 

 

When CO₂ levels are elevated in the body it is known as hypercapnia. Hypercapnia can occur for a number of reasons, one of which is rebreathing our own exhaled CO₂. Rebreathing CO₂ can lead to increased blood pressure, headaches, muscle twitches, rapid heart rate, chest pain, confusion, and fatigue.

And doesn't occur when wearing a surgical mask. So your point is?

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. 

This is kind of a tricky one. I believe everyone should be wearing a mask outside right now whenever possible if they are going to be less than 2 meters from someone else. It is not a law to have to wear one as far as i am aware of but it is a term and condition that certain businesses will not be allowed to remain open if they do not require this. Thus many local businesses will not allow you to enter with out one and that is their right

Is this a defense of the Thai bashing which I criticized in my post? I don’t see the connection though. Please specify what this reply has to do with my post, the one you are quoting. 

Why oh why must you insist in "Only my way and beliefs are right"

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.

Here is the logic, He does not understand he is not infected or possibly an asymptomatic carrier, he may feel just fine, but so did the Italian in Phuket, so unless the man has gone through the numerous testing process and can prove he is not sick then he still possesses the possibility of being infected.

See you've been brainwashed too

You are suddenly helping create the narrative that people without masks are evil are infected 

Just because the Thai nimrods wear them, doesn't make it scientifically correct

Especially when they are wearing a single use item for days at a time because they can't afford to keep purchasing new ones

You are just like 99.99% of the Thais, you couldn't give a shìt about others, you wear one to protect yourself, even though that's a load of BS in the first place

Just admit it

Thais in general are massively more advanced in their understanding of the need for mask wearing

and what about handwashing and social distancing and sharing while eating and how do you explain those stupid face shields they are wearing instead of a mask - yes massively more advance my (deleted)

 

the difference between the west and Thailand is we don't just do stuff unless there is sound scientific medical evidence to support it, now there is under certain conditions 

[Terek]

good that Thai people also start to wake up, totalitarian rules have no place in any society, fear is not right emotion to follow, these who fear can do it at home under bed ....

OK, I'll come clean. I know I don't have Covid-19, no one has Covid-19 in Pattaya, and I know I don't need to wear a mask.

 

I wear one because its the law in Pattaya and it makes Thai people far more comfortable when around me. Its called "consideration for others" a concept which is undoubtedly an anathema for you. Which you have just proved with your silly smiley face.

To be honest if he doesnt want to wear the mask, its really up to him. I dont think its against the law. However when coming into markets etc, he should put it on for everyones sake.

It is the law in a market in Pattaya.

He claims he is not sick, which is not the same as not being infected, he appear not to understand that. Not peculiar to Thailand though. 

the reason could be that Thailand doesn't explain these facts to people, the whole population thinks that unless they have a high temperature they are not infected - understandable since that is all they are doing - testing temperatures all over the place which is highly flawed

Wearing a mask to protect yourself isn't shît. It depends on the type of mask you wear.

No.

It is not correct.

He may not feel sick.

But he still might be infected.

Which means he would then be infecting others.

Wearing a mask reduces the chances of that.

Legal or not, he has no moral or ethical "right" to do that.

Is that any different to smoking in a public place or maybe even driving? Don't want an argument, just playing devils advocate.????

There is no absolutely concrete evidence that wearing a smelly old mask (and that is what most are wearing) has any effect whatsoever.

actually there is evidence and it is now widely published that wearing a mask protects others from those infected - that is now a fact

This is only part of the equation though.  Wearing a mask will not prevent him from picking up the virus from a contaminated surface.  If he is infected wearing a mask will not prevent him touching surfaces and contaminating others.

I wish the WHO and governments would get their act together and come to a consensus on the effectiveness of prevention.

they have - you're just not reading about it

 

Primary mode of human to human infection is airborne all the rest are secondary
