Again, if you're coughing and sneezing, you ain't out and about, you're flat on your back.

You can cough and sneeze flat out on your back and infect those caring for you.

Err no, really no. Ai Anutin's comments really haven't made the world a better place.

I don't care about he said it right or wrong , I'm sure and i believe mask is working mostly for those are carrying the virus and if everyone use we can control the spreading , that's why a surgeon use it for decades

Does anyone know if Yinn checked in with a comment on this one?

 

If she did, I have no doubt that it will be sound, well considered, completely unbiased and the product of a rigorous intellectual argument.

 

Which I would have great pleasure reading.

Correct, which is why the WHO (and others) advice is to wear a mask if you are caring for a patient.

Think about this , someone is carrying the virus and he speaks in phone and the water from his mouth spread mostly in a lower areas some children touch that area and scratch the eyes 

 

And i can put it in this way we are foreigners when we go to another country and the health minister of that county is saying please wear a mask it's free also , for any kind of reason we believe it or not we have to do it because we are in public area 

Simply we can accept instead of fight , world is a lot better in this way

Out better still take his advice and don't go to Thailand:)

Nope, you still haven't understood. If someone is coughing and sneezing due to coronavirus, they will be flat on their backs not walking around in public.

For what it’s worth, if you read the comments from Thai people on Anutin’s Facebook page, you will see that most of them think he was pretty stupid to say what he did.

i see , so thai that ride motorcycles and don't use helmuts should have to walk; what an idiot

"so thai that ride motorcycles and don't use helmuts should have to walk"

 

Actually, yes, as it's against the law to ride a motorcycle and not wear a helmet! (Helmut is a common given name in the German language.!)

Any PM with balls would sack a minister for such a comment, but then again I don't think we will see that here.

No you won’t because the coalition will fall apart as anutin (small a) will stop support and leave.  

[malibukid]

not wearing a mask is just plain stupid, especially with this poor air quality.  i know many older farangs here that don't give a fig about their health or others.

Very strange. Maybe she is Scared of repercussions or maybe she backs the ego racist maniac? I surely hope not.

And not justified in your opinion, I suppose?

You suppose wrong, furthermore the criticisms foreigners make about Thais are more justified than what the Thais say about foreigners.  All I said was it's a two way street. Never thought I would be accused of being Thai apologist.

If what you say is a truth so the increasing number of infected people has to stop 

That's not true the virus can spreading before the patient critical moment , i think it's around us even animals are not safe 

Please mark my word if everyone wear a mask we can control the spreading , this is the least thing we can do instead of do nothing

Surgeons use as protection from splashing body fluids not to prevent bacterial or virus.

Please mark my word, if no symptoms exist, transmission is by contact. Hand gel, very useful, masks rock all use.

That's right splashing , splashing is one of the common way to spread the virus

 

All people in the Frontline fighting with this situation are wearing masks

Sounds more like it was sold out from under him.

[jingjai9]

Sounds like an argument about "us and them"

However, He reserves the right to be a racist xenophobe.

Many Westerners can't get their heads around the fact that Thais and other Asian nations do not accept let alone 'embrace' multiculturalism. We've had it drummed into us for years while in Asian countries nationalism has been drummed into their citizens. 

 

A chum of mine brought his Thai wife to London. She was flabbergasted when for the first time they drove through Peckham in South London

 

Many Asian countries do not even accept immigrants. Thailand is one such country and Japan is another.

 

When they read of the problems immigration has often brought to Western nations some might think they may have a point.

Well i think swimming pool are safe as long as we know they use chlorine because even smell of chlorine can kill all the viruses

And the other bottom line the guy is an egotistical hot head ignoramus for not wearing gloves and passing out masks not properly stored and then taking off his mask to go on his unleashed open exposed mouth tirade. No excuse for many things he did
