roger101 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Are the people in Pattaya becoming complacent because of the low death and transmission rate. I go out to the shops once a day. Whilst riding around on my motorbike I've noticed that more people are wearing their masks round their necks. It seems to get worse everyday. I've also noticed one farang on a motorbike without a helmet and no face mask. I've seen this person 3 times in the last 3 days he must live near me. His girlfriend on the back is wearing a mask.

Popular Post sirineou Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) At least they are wearing it around their neck, I am here in the US in Florida, yesterday we went to the Home depot to purchase some plants for our garden, I would say 2/3 of the people did not wear face masks. And trust me, from the look of them they should be covering their faces even if there was no virus.

Skallywag Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Am hopeful my mask will protect me from the un-masked when they cough. Do wish the Thai police would fine a few or throw a few of the un-masked in Jail. Government did state wearing a face mask is mandatory in Pattaya, with heavy fines or jail time possible on April 8. https://thepattayanews.com/2020/04/08/mask-wearing-in-pattaya-mandatory-from-tomorrow-heavy-fines-or-jail-time-possible-for-those-who-dont-wear-masks/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are allowed to walk in the street, why not walk on the beach. The problem was that the kids were abusing the privilege . With certain restrictions it should be fine. Also open up the parks for limited activities. There are certain parks from where we can launch our kayaks. when I go Kayaking with my daughter or friend we are several yards apart and no one around for miles. Why not? But opening up the beaches will do little toward opening up the economy. Unless properly supervised it could increase the infection rate and thus decrease the possibility of normalising the economy again. Monday I an going Kayaking!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d give the police the powers to shoot joggers on sight. They are the most infectious group heavily breathing on everyone without regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're out looking for food. When one is hungry then all other considerations go out of the window. Basic survival technique. You may not need to go out in search of food on a daily basis but many Thais live hand to mouth and the daily trek ensures survival for another day. Many are not surviving. I'm sure you don't intend for hungry people to stay at home and starve? Edited April 19, 2020 by torturedsole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SidJames Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 If they banned breathing it would save even more people from dying from the virus & that's a fact. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is no more than a minor inconvenience. I see no reason whatsoever why people should not obey this minimal safety precaution. I agree that the police should be more active in fining those who refuse to wear a mask, and those who wear it under their chin when in close proximity to others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
