Popular Post darksidedog Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Ludicrous. Face masks which mostly aren't doing anything to prevent people getting the virus and which around where I am, can't be purchased anyway, as hoarders have bought the whole lot. So without one of these useless masks, you can't even buy groceries! I can't wait for the next gem of idiocy to come along. 14 1 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thailand Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Had to do some banking yesterday that could not be done online. I wore a mask ,first time, as I guessed some may be uncomfortable. That was the case, an elderly American came in and 2 of the cashiers refused to serve him as not wearing a mask. A senior staff member did finally serve him but reluctantly. The hype is such is that it is simpler to conform. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a mask its not that hard, an old cotton t-shirt will do the trick. 6 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being that as I breathed out, warm moist air fogged up my eyeglasses! I had to adjust it a few times which meant, of course I had to put my hands up to my face.

Popular Post Crossy Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wearing a mask is unlikely to do any harm. If a place requires it, just wear one. Our office requires masks "at all times", most are interpreting that as "all times when moving around" so sitting at your desk staring at your PC, no mask. Those in BKK can buy re-usable masks at many BTS and MRT stations (masks required if you want to ride the train). 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is claimed that masks don't prevent against getting infected, it is also widely accepted that it prevents from spreading the disease if you are infected, and it is now also known since long that you can be infected and spreading the virus without showing any symptoms. So what is wrong with asking people to wear the mask. I was yesterday at the Banglamung post office, and you were not allowed to enter without a mask. I had just prior to visiting been to a pharmacy to purchase a mask, but they asked 99 Baht for the type of mask that is usually for sale at hardware stores for 5 Baht. Luckily outside the door of the postoffice was an optical stand, think sponsored by the government, and the lady gave me such a mask for free, 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ridler Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wear the mask. You can take it off one you leave a shop, bank etc it may not be doing any good, but they make people feel better, make them feel like they are doing something And we all know that it the whole man who spreads the disease! 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside Big C in Sakon Nakhon a stall was set up selling masks at 15-20 baht each. No one was allowed without one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It's the same in Spain, only worse, you have to wear a mask AND gloves while shopping. In Germany still no such rules. They make it up as they go along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 the act of lifting the mask, to spit on the veges and fruits; - is 'quite' obvious on CCTV it might not be deterrent against the virus directly, - but a hindrance to those WHO choose to help it spread...

How you going to react if you are in there and someone near you w/o a mask, starts sneezing and coughing? Just gut it out it is now the social right thing to do here. PS: you can make your own with an old pair of underpants if need be. Just cover your face use imagination.

glennb6 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 In other post I said I thought a emoticon of a shocked jaw dropped look would be appropriate. I won't rush the IT dept but pls consider. If the psuedo doctors dressed as security guards at the doors of Makro tell me I cannot spend my money in their business because I won't wear a mask, then I won't spend my money with them, ever again. Reminds me of the movie "They Live" where the star guy found the special sunglasses that revealed to him who the aliens are. OBEY. GO TO SLEEP. SPEND. CONSUME. DONT ASK QUESTIONS.
