Here is their latest advice on masks https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks Contrary to your claim, wearing masks is difficult if you can't get one because Thais are hoarding them. I notice that you did not include the fake news of your earlier post that people in Singapore wear face masks. Some do most do not. The Singapore Government follows WHO advice and has earned world wide praise for the way it has handled the pandemic. Thailand has failed to deal with this in a timely manner, blaming it on foreigners (how many foreigners attended the famous boxing match and how many Thais were wearing face masks?). People living in Thailand Thais and Farangs, are now going to pay the price. https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/covid-19-70-new-cases-singapore-2-police-officers-infected I wouldn't trust the Who for advice, when this is over they will be crucified for their concern over money vs lives.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control corona. When in Rome. Italy, US, UK, France, Spain, Netherlands not like wear the mask in public place. Look what happen. If in public, please wear the mask. Not be selfish. Spreading fake news as well as excess trolling, Singaporeans dont wear masks LINKS below https://time.com/5802293/coronavirus-covid19-singapore-hong-kong-taiwan/ But the tally indicated more about the thorough testing conducted on the island of 5.7 million. A study by Harvard University’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics estimates Singapore detects almost three times more cases than the global average due to its strong disease surveillance and fastidious contact tracing. In order to uncover COVID-19 infections that may have otherwise evaded detection, Singapore’s health authorities decided early on to test all influenza-like and pneumonia cases. They have also spared no pains in hunting down every possible contact of those infected. The process, which operates 24/7, starts with patient interviews, and has also involved police, flight manifests and a locally developed a test for antibodies, which linger even after an infection clears. Most Sinagporeans DO NOT WEAR MASKS source https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/world/asia/coronavirus-singapore-hong-kong-taiwan.html For all the panic erupting elsewhere, most Singaporeans do not wear masks out, because the government has told them it’s not needed for their safety. This is WHY SIngapore has had great success and they have actively traced all contacts ruthlessly and talking of "selfish" Thais must be one of the most selfish nations on earth, only have to see them driving to realise that, park where they want regularly double park, the guy that runs into 7-11 then tries to buy cigarettes by not waiting in the queue etc etc..it IS the " me first"mentality.

The problem is that the Thais outnumber the farangs and farangs stick out so easily. So any farang (be it one or ten) are much more noticeable. I walked down my soi in Bangkok this morning (wearing a mask) and there is a certain area where the locals gather to buy meals. I saw at least 8 people sitting around a little table talking, smoking and having fun. No social distancing and no masks. Opposite our house there were 5 guys smoking on the street (construction workers having a break). I thought smoking in public was declared illegal. I fear for my life with all these disrespecting Thais. I don't want to appear be racist as I am not and I have many Thai friends. It's just certain types of people. Some of my Thai friends/acquaintances are very wealthy and they are the complete opposite of these people. They spend fortunes on UV equipment, I don't know how many different types of sanitisers at incredible prices and yes, dozens of expensive face masks which they seem to wear all day long (I see on video calls).

Yes, and I am afraid Thais do that too. Saw 2 in Tesco this AM, 1 without mask, 1 only over her mouth. Mind you, the latter, when I motioned to pull it over her nose as she stood too near me in the checkout line, complied with a smile, I think.

jmccarty Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 What is needed, is very clear instructions how to wear and remove the mask safely so you don't expose yourself and others to the virus droplets if they do get on the mask somehow and not on the rest of your body or clothes. Without that, the masks are providing a false sense of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
