jinjo Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I find it amusing at best and embarrassing at worst, but in actually I think this entire mask thing is a joke, if it's not a N95 mask and it's not being worn properly then it is medically useless... Viruses are smaller than bacteria, and to recycle your own breath is more harmful than helpful to anyone's health... Strangely even here in United States you are ostracized if you don't wear a mask in many public venues... But people are awakening to the truth of this whole plandemic... I can only hope that the economy will recover quickly enough, and that the damage already done can be repaired... For those who were lost, may it not be in vain... May we take the lessons learned and grow and prosper from this very ugly event in history... Absolute power always corrupts absolutely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, i cant believe some people would let an imbecile in an official outfit convince them to dance or do push ups. I think my response would be fine me, jail me or go for a long walk. Just bullies in uniform out of control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If you read your John Burdett, then you'd know that Thai Buddhism uses shame to punish offenders, which is clearly what's happening here. That doesn't work with unenlightened farangs, however, and so they must be fined or thrown in jail instead. Really, read Bangkok 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When sneazing, coughing or even talking, wearing mask prevent most droplets/aerosol from comming out of your mask landing / touching on any surfaces. Common sense. Therefore, it help of lowering the risk . Many virus carriers are asymtomatic. This has been discussing for months and WHO admitted they were wrong about telling peopke not to wearing mask.

tingtong Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 it is amazing how quick they are to scare and sheme ppl into mask wearing...that now i see almost everyone wearing it without exception. was wondering why on earth they couldnt scare and sheme the exact same population into wearing a motorbike helmet?? virus death rate officially: less than 1 out of 1 million population. way way less than the death rate from motorbike accidents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to their website https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks And on MAY 20th https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/to-mask-or-not-to-mask-preventing-spread-in-the-time-of-coronavirus/281-13cfc52a-e9fc-4469-849d-a0b2a942c392 But differences exist: the World Health Organization diverges from the CDC, writing, “Currently there is not enough evidence for or against the use of masks (medical or other) for healthy individuals in the wider community. WHO continues to recommend that medical masks be worn by individuals who are sick or those caring for them. WHO is actively studying the rapidly evolving science on masks and continuously updates its guidance." Edited May 27, 2020 by bodga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are disturbing times & I think it is socially responsible to at least comply with well meaning fairly lighthearted sort of punishment. The "not law brigade, you cant make me do it" are in the wrong country & regrettably have this idea that they are better than anyone else..... Get over it And the non helmet wearers?

talahtnut Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 In the UK its similar, we have the notorious Cummins Free Style Fox Trot. Outside shops we do the Line Dance Shuffle. Musical Chairs at the Docs. Square Dance at train stations. Meanwhile each care home is are forced to Rock n Roll with a suspected Covid partner ejected from hospital. What could the reason be?

Redline Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Make them dance, then fine them-for the helmet and child. You don’t need a mask while riding a motorbike, unless you are in traffic in the city, but if it’s mandatory, hey fine them for that too-maybe even wash the police cars ????
