Whoever goes there for a mask is the definition of dumb. Spend time and money traveling to Nonthaburi to get ฿10 worth of masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 This handing out masks is just a ruse. At the end of the handouts they'll take away boxes and resell on black market like my wife had to buy if she wanted any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today on MRT loudspeaker changed again. Please wear If you are sick. But the sheep are so frightened, everyone rushing for their silly mask to hide behind. The women are no longer pretty, there's a pall cast on the trip to and from work. So many little sheep, stressed and frightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat1010 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A feel good gesture that maybe makes the few that get masks feel better for a while. Large well connected firms and industries in will get subsidies.(the rich stay or get richer) the poor might get a few handouts (but the poor will stay poor and some middle class will join them at the bottom of society). Covid-19 is beyond containment thanks to the Chinese getting off to a slow start in fighting this epidemic (jail the doctors that first reported it) All the BS the government tried to hide the spread of Covid-19 was for nothing. Tourism is collapsing worldwide. The weak and elderly will be culled by Covid-19 and then life goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t use these special hand wash lotions u will be more vulnerable! Is what they say abroad.. Alcohol-based hand gels are perfectly fine. So is a brisk and sustained washing with regular soap and water. Both only help the cause, not hurt it. I'm not sure if re "special hand wash lotions," you're referring to the wide variety of so-called anti-bacterial products. Those are no better than regular soap and water in this case, because the CV is a VIRUS, not a bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that promised 7/11 distribution in a news report here the other day also. Believe it was supposed to start this week/today/Monday.

AlexRich Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I laughed at the photo of a guy in China wearing ladies panties as a mask. One positive of the novel Coronavirus and the shortage of available masks is that panty sniffers of the world are getting a free pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) From Saturday: Quote You can now buy only one four-piece packet of facemasks per day, the Department of Internal Trade has decided, in a bid to maintain an adequate supply. Director general Whichai Pochanakij said on Friday (February 28) he had discussed the matter with executives of CP All, which operates 7-Eleven stores, about limiting sales at all 11,800 outlets. “Sales have been limited to one pack per person per day to prevent multiple purchases,” he said. The department asked Blue Flag shops to impose the same restriction. “We’re making them more accessible by hastening their distribution through convenience stores, Blue Flags, Mini Big C and Lotus Express, covering around 14,000 outlets in total,” Whichai said. "Hastening their distribution" to when exactly??? Edited March 2, 2020 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The studio said it was allowing the rest of the film crew to return home during the delay and that it would "continue to monitor this situation" in Italy.
