Like I said that is your choice and your opinion! Unlike you I've heard it personally since prior to Covid I had lots of friends and family visiting many from the U.S. Hong Kong and China the list of hearsay from those close to my family members.
As you can see just by the numbers alone believe them or not every time the government has reduced the restrictions the greater the numbers entering has been produced. It is also noted when it comes to the insurance regardless of the low cost one reads the fine prints it covers nothing there are hundreds of stories out there of insurance companies not paying especially the ones charging 650 I believe that one company that has gone out of business.
When it comes to the mask, yes I agree totally about children it has develop problems but all the so call experts are now politicians that is the real problem no longer are they following the science?
Based on the numbers I have no problems whether one where it or not since many have been vaccinated especially those foreigners who want to return to Thailand yet it is still in place when their own studies have shown the number coming from abroad are minimum majority are coming like prior from land borders.
Covid is here to stay for a long time based on things I would have no problem the leaders getting rid of the mask, and go with some studies that if in confine space large gathering, for example a sports events, confine spaces like Bangkok BTS again the choice of the individual but I pray for an individual who comes up to me and gets in my face as to why I'm wearing a mask!
What I do know people mask mandate or not it doesn't bother me I have better things to worry about living in Thailand than a mandate to wear a mask. I've been wearing one for two years prior to it I found myself sick every year since wearing the mask, following flu like procedures using alcohol and washing my hands regularly being discipline not to touch my mouth, pick my nose or scratch my eyes I've not been sick once in 2 plus years.
I will continue to do what has kept me and my Thai family from having the virus if wearing a mask in a crowd is require I will do it. Even everything is dump Friday I have a trip plan July 9th, to the States I will continue to wear it at the airport, on the plane, back home on public transportation.
Lets hope everything is removed Friday! and lets get back to our lives!
