Now no alcohol from 6PM till 6AM either  as well as the  previous ( past military government) time rules.

It was actually under Taksin 1st Jan 2006 the present laws regarding times came into effect

No I believe the laws where brought in by a previous military government but where never really enforced until as you say "Thaksin" revived them  for a shortish while during some crisis  or other  I remember  they shut supermarkets and petrol stations too during that time..but the restrictions where soon relaxed again..until the latest coup.

and as a reminder,

 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) says:

- If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection.

 

- Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.

The main/only reason the WHO  told that is because in many countries there is not enough masks even for doctors and nurses, not to speak about police officers in contact with many people, but nevethrtless a 12 years old boys would understand, since it is now well known that to start with, already infected people are contagious WITHOUT SYMPTOMS if everyone is wearing a mask those people will be less contagious with a mask, 1+1=2

But they aren't shedding the virus, they aren't coughing or sneezing, even a 2 year old gets that

 THEY ARE undoudtably CONTAGIOUS,and that's why they are the most dangerous everyone in the medical world agrees ...to be stubborn at this point is a pathology.

Cheap 2 baht masks don't protect anybody from any thing pretty much everybody agrees with this....Its all for theater...

I bought one yesterday for 49 baht. It came in a sealed package.

All black one piece with no stitching.

It really is quite fetching, so I wear it everywhere.

The wife thinks its a big improvement.

So if they aren't shedding the virus by coughing or sneezing how are they spreading it? bear in mind everyone should be social distancing

[hidbehindthesofa]

Big C are operating a thermal camera and monitor screen at the entrance which indicates temperature.

 

Last week the person operating it was too busy on their phone to bother watching the monitor.

 

This week, somebody in front of me activated an audible alarm with a temperature of 41C but the operator did not look up and the customer was still allowed to walk into the store unchallenged.

 

Clearly the supposed precautions or safeguards are merely for show and of no practical use whatsoever !

The latest from the US CDC is that N-95 masks should NOT be worn because they are in such need at hospitals.  Non-N-95 masks SHOULD be worn but not to protect you.  The protect everyone else.  The virus can easily pass into a non-N-95 mask but the droplets from a cough or sneeze cannot easily exit even a simple mask.

So ordinary Americans should not use N-95 masks because they're in short supply and much needed by the medical professionals, and not because they would not protect them? What' nonsense is this? And this coming from CDC?

 

Let me remind all and sundry: CDC = The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the leading national public health institute of the United States. It is a United States federal agency, under the Department of Health and Human Services, and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia - Wikipedia.

 

As such the only proper answer is f&*k you CDC and the whole cabal should go straight to hell. Now this brain-dead CDC director starts babbling about the benefits of mask wearing after we ordinary folks have already know for weeks from other sources!

Masks required for entry to Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang 

Do Muslim Women wear a mask under their Burkas/Niqab  

Does the burka /Niqab suffice as a Mask for the New Flu ?

 

Or did the Muslims expect this flu to happen and were Prepared ?

Easy enough to ask them to show they are wearing a mask that has no effect at all of stopping them getting a virus.

 

Are there any reports of issues with what you say?

Don't  listen to WHO. You don't know if you are healthy. Not all ppl show symptoms.

Really? i had no idea....personally i listen to experts, when the general consensus with experts is different I'll listen to it

[scubascuba3]

Yesterday on Buakhao i saw a woman wearing 2 masks, once you get to that I'm pretty sure you start thinking about wearing 3

[garygooner]

Masks required in 7-Eleven too. How many masks do you have & how many times do you wear them?

An ignorant German went to MAKRO today without a mask where it is mandatory since at least two days. Rejected. He then used a "towel".

Since about two weeks I tell him to wear one when "in town".

Some will never learn

That he whined about no alcohol after 11 AM is another story (in Thailand for more than 10 years).

 

He will become a food supply. Sausage. 

[Mac98]

New fad? Office personnel today wearing face masks plus headgear that fits like a welders mask but is clear plastic. I guess it's to block someone giving you a full on, body bending, explosive sneeze in your face. Maybe they have spitball fights in the office?

Think for yourself. People here are trying to help you to do so every day.

 

The WHO aren't going to be helping you and yours nor anyone you infect.

US CDC is now reviewing its guidelines and may recommend general mask use to guard against community infection. 

[Tropposurfer]

For those who post here endlessly that if you're not sick you don't need to wear a mask ... How do you know you are not infected ??????????? The deaths of thousands of people across the globe has primarily come from people who were virus positive and did not show symptoms at all until it was too late for those they infected.

 

[Road Warrior]

i can not find anywhere in pattaya where can buy masks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[SidJames]

If you don't have a mask then how do get into a shop to buy a mask & if you are running a high temp then how do you get in anywhere to buy water, food or medicines?

Along with the WHO likely also to change its stance. That is 3 or more BS positions from them over CoVid.
