Jingthing Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Why? Those look like those surgical cloth or paper masks that do nothing to protect the wearer from infection as opposed to the much more expensive respirator masks that when used properly do provide some protection. The simple masks are good for those currently infected from spreading their sprays. However I assume most people buying such masks think they protecting themselves. Which they're not.

I call it a drop in the sea ... Knowing that there are 67 million inhabitants in Thailand and that the masks must be changed every day ... The one or only beneficiaries of this thing are the manufacturers but surely not the people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargeing the poor people for feeling they have acquired a protection. which studies show to be ineffective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
