Guderian Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I've looked in the local convenience stores and they've all sold out, asked at a few pharmacies but "mai mee". Even Lazada seems to have sold out as it says it has no items on sale matching "face mask". Does anyone know of a shop or supermarket that still has them in stock?

scubascuba3 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It's because of those selfish people wearing them with no symptoms. I wanted to buy a few in case i come down with symptoms, couldn't find any so i guess I'll cough over those with masks on 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find another way to stop you touching your face 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, the mask stops you touching your own mouth//nose etc It's not that simple. Medical staff dealing with suspected on known covid-19 cases should actually be in full hazmat gear. They are intentionally getting very close to those risks as part of their job. Medical staff will be wearing custom fitted respirator masks and they're trained on how to use them. Medical staff are at risk of much higher volume of virus exposure than the public putting them at unusual risk of serious infections. Medical staff are needed to treat the public. If too many of them get infected that's a similarly serious threat to the public health as not enough respirators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Unbelievable really, just when the virus is picking up in Pattaya no masks are available, so the spread will be even worse, if only they hadn't already been wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazar Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 why do you want face masks? are you sick already or are you taking care of a sick person?if not they are unnecessary and people who really need them will not be able to get them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL You just keep banging this drum. People wearing masks to help prevent them from contracting the virus are not wasting them. The fault is with the supply chain and the Thailand government, not healthy people trying desperately not to get sick. The truth is, Thailand is in serious trouble, masks or no masks. They've left it too late and Italy could be a paradise compared to what might happen here. They were so obsessed with protecting their tourist industry they lost sight of the big picture. Other countries have or are closing their borders. Australia just announced a total ban on non-citizens and residents from entering. New Zealand has shut down with only 6 confirmed cases. They have just shut down their tourism industry for the sake of their survival. Who in their right mind would take a vacation right now anyway? It is very serious business in the Philippines right now too. Many or maybe all towns throughout the whole country are in total lockdown with no cars or people allowed in or out. All schools are closed. The giant city of Manila has been in lockdown since last Thursday. What is Thailand doing? Too little, too late.

watthong Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Here in Bangkok the locals start selling the home-made stuff plenty along the "footpaths", saphan loy, etc. Not the real thing but will do in a pinch.
