The same with the RKI but they've clarified that there is no scientific basis to assume if you're infected wearing a mask will protect another person. They're only recommending it because they believe it could be of use, so basically a hunch, a guess. No real evidence it would actually work.
I've survived the swine flu without wearing a mask and I'm fairly certain I'll survive Covid without a mask.
This is a novel flu. Never seen before, as in new.
You say "a hunch, a guess" - How much of an inconvenience is it to wear a mask?
"I'm fairly certain I'll survive?"
How much of an inconvenience is it to wear a mask to try and protect the rest of us?

Could be all the people not wearing masks will look foolish dead!!!
This is a "novel" virus which means it's new, we don't know how it attacks or spreads. I reiterate, how difficult is it to wear a mask? If I can save another human by wearing a mask, I'll suffer the inconvenience - AND the ridicule.

We will never look like fools. We are people who are taking precautions in dangerous times to try and protect the human race. Better to wear a mask than to lie in a casket wishing we had.

Shame on you - don't go there! You are trying to argue an absolute (ALL people not coughing and sneezing are incapable of spreading the virus).
There are asymptomatic people around the world who are spreading the virus. IF these asymptomatic people (of which you might be one) wear a mask, they (you!) minimize the spread. Ferchrissake, is it really that hard to wear a mask when in public?

Masks do nothing anyway.
If masks stopped the virus every government and medical expert would insist you just put a mask on, end of virus.
Since they do nothing that's not happening.
There's a reason why most countries do not make wearing masks mandatory, no clear evidence they do anything.
I don't have Covid, I have no symptoms and I live in a group and nobody in that group has symptoms. So nobody needs to soil their pants when they see me without a mask, if they do well kind of their problem.
I will not be wearing a mask.
And you are the reason why this virus will continue longer than it needs to.
Masks DO stop any liquid being expelled from your mouth for others to absorb.
You DO NOT know if you have it or not. There are asymptomatic carriers that spread the disease, you could be one of them.
Wear a mask for the sake of having SOME humanity.

I have been trying for over three weeks now, and no luck. I think I would have better luck wrapping a pair of nickers around my face, since I can not locate any, and have been recycling and cleaning the two I have had since the end of February....
On Soi Buakhow within spitting distance of Sutus Court is a small pharmacy with plenty of masks (as of two days ago).

No the doctors and the nurses are heroes always. But the predictions are going horribly wrong. China built a hospital in a few days but it was hardly used. The UK for example have planned for worse case scenario and built a field hospital in a week, but the NHS is coping admirably at the moment they are nowhere near capacity. This virus should have been treated like a normal flu epidemic instead of creating mass hysteria based on conflicting evidence.
Let's revisit this one week from now, and to my CORE I hope you are right, but numbers would decry your premise.

Say what? Not all us kids learnt Latin at school. Some of us poor sods when to state schools. Some of us were trying to stay safe amongst the stabbing, rapes, and daily bashings by teachers and other kids.
I did this once already:

Boring, you just carry on being misled, just like all the people in the world. The economic fall out from this hoax will have a lasting effect around the globe and will do more long term damage than the virus. Most of the people who have died from the virus would have died anyway.
Yeah . . . ALL the doctors, ALL the nurses, ALL the mid-level hands-on politicians around the globe have conspired against society.

I don't think so.
I would disagree. In this "YOLO" generation, they don't think past the nose on their faces.

I ensure you that we have enough medicines for the treatment of the virus and we have a plan ready to acquire more from overseas should the situation escalate.

Swimming in the sea is going to infect who?
That depends upon who you sneeze or cough on.
The virus can travel in the air up to about 10 meters.

Is Makro Pattaya or Jomtien? Or is it just a "taint?"

Went there this morning. Not crowded but OMG. No Mama Noddle and very little eggs. What's happened. Hording?
I've noticed NO major stores can currently keep eggs in stock. Went to a local farmers market, plenty on hand and no markup. Open air, but we still needed to wear a mask, get temp taken, and get a hand sanitizer spritz. I REALLY hope they don't get shut down, I get all my fruits & veggies there.

Of course those 61 never infected anyone.
This addresses the huge difference between the flu and Covid-19. Worth a view:

THANK you! It is a minor inconvenience to wear this silly mask, and in doing so might save lives.
