Critical thinking doesn't exist in this country. Educational levels are dismally low...as bad as Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, despite these countries being much poorer than Thailand. People in these countries act like sheep.

 

Now if the country could get people to comply with traffic laws and shame people who disobey them, I would expect all Thais to sheepishly comply very quickly.

critical thinking breaking down in the west?

yea, from foreigners..

Oh yes. We are wearing masks, and the reason is that Thais are simply obsessed with masks, and if we do NOT wear a mask, we cannot go shopping. But But, If Thais bothered to read what WHO write about masks, then they would look different on this case. Masks are only for Doctors, Nurses that work with infected persons, and it stop people from spitting, and breathing OUT mucus. It does NOT stop people from getting infected, it stop other people that do not wear a mask being infected by the person that wear a mask. Easy for some to understand, and very difficult for others to understand. Where do you belong?

There was a Westerner who reported that he was told to leave the queue at a large store in Hua Hin last week, he was apparently told that facemasks were for Thai people only and wouldn't be sold one. 

Racism strikes again. A sign of the times...I think our days are numbered here. Better leave the new Orwellian future for Thais to 'enjoy'. I certainly want no part of it.

Those who don't have masks aren't looking for them very hard.

of course many would find that post more helpful if it contained even a tiny clue as to where they should be looking. about as useful as a parent telling kids "o yes there are Easter eggs hidden out there somewhere ... "

 

Yeah, expect a few of this kind of "helpful" answers in whatever search you post on TV. Just keep in mind that quite a number of posters on here can't seem to see beyond the length of their nose. Reminded me of a past thread asking around for a local restaurant that served..(whatever.) One answered, "Right here in our kitchen!" I simply chalked that off as another particular segment of the homo sapiens.

I agree.

 

I have a few simple surgical masks (you can even wash them if careful).

 

I wear one:-

• When a place asks me to to permit entry.
• When out in public, purely to protect me from the death stare of the locals.
• When passing through police checkpoints.
• In the office (because it is required).

Does it help protect me or others? Maybe, maybe not although there does seem to be some correlation between mass mask wearing and reduced corona spread.

 

Does it really matter, it's a case of when in Rome (probably not a good example at this time).

the trouble in imo is that many that 'live' here or scam to remain here believe that they are superior to Thais and Asians in general, so they wouldn't care if the Thais worry about dying from a disease they may be carrying. Love to see them gathered up and put into a detention center..

Total nonsense again

How is it 'nonsense'.

 

Look at how rapidly the virus has spread in Europe where people seem to be reluctant to wear mask probably because they are unavailable.

 

And then compare how the virus is spreading in Asia where mask wearing is more common.

 

We know masks are not totally effective but I'd wear one if I could get them.

Can you explain what PUI is and why there are almost 10,000 of them, why are they not being tested ?, why are they just looking at them and doing nothing

 

I know the answer - see if you can tell me Yin since you seem to know everything else lol

 

Are you a medical professional or just read stuff and believe no matter what the source

When will they finally learn, that handing out a coffee to a person not wearing a mask WON`T infect them! However, they may get infected touching hundreds of bank notes per day. Guess that coffee shop owner stated in the article doesn`t use plastic gloves or desinfects every bank note.

 

I am not surprised by that "farang bashing", but that is the result if a government/media lacks to inform their population properly.

3 or 4 weeks ago I had on a mask walking around the shopping mall checking each pharmacy looking for gel and masks. At one store I commented to another farang who was waiting the line it was really hard to find masks these days. He was not wearing a mask and started on about they are largely ineffective and joking how mine didn't fit right and he could see my teeth as I smiled and all the little viruses were creeping in from the sides (in UK accent). I didn't want to get into a confrontation so just told him I wear a mask to keep my hands off my face.  He was quite after that. 

yea, they're doing so well over there aren't they?

They are all useless... the masks that is.

Take a mask and lay it on a dry surface.

 

Sprinkle some dust from a vacuum cleaner on it.

 

You will find that very little or none at all of the dust will penetrate through to the dry surface. Shake the mask to remove the dust.

 

Then do the same with a spray of water from a trigger operated liquid dispenser on the same scale and of the same volume as particles of spray would be expelled by a cough or a sneeze. Bear in mind few people would actually cough or sneeze into someone's face. 

 

Again very few particles would find their way through the mask to the dry surface.

 

While they are not foolproof nor totally effective the aforementioned experiment will demonstrate that they are hardly 'useless'. It takes but a minute or two to attach some sticky tape to the sides of mask where a gap could appear as that seems to be a major concern regarding these masks.

 

The plague is spreading like wildfire in Europe and the USA where few people wear masks for whatever reason!
