When will you stop wearing a mask?

[steelepulse]

For everyone that is happy wearing face masks whenever you go anywhere, when do you feel safe to not wear them again?

 

-When the government says so

 

-When new cases are zero for 14 days in your area/country

 

-When new cases are zero for 30 days in your area/country

 

-When WHO says so

 

-Never

 

-Not sure

When Yinn says its OK to take them off.

[brokenbone]

when 7/11 big c and the rest stop enforcing it

[bkk6060]

That question is out of your control if you want to get out and actually go inside places.

Markets, mall, 7-11, restaurants, etc.

Masks will probably be a requirement for a long long time quite possibly for ever..

[OneMoreFarang]

When I feel like it.

That's the same way how I started wearing a mask. There was a time when almost anybody had one and (maybe imagined) people looked strange at you if you didn't have one. That's when I started.

 

I will stop wearing one if it feels normal again, and probably depending on the situation. BTS: face mask. Walk to the coffee shop: no mask needed.

I started wearing one in the lead up my to my visa run march 22, when i needed to apply for laos visa at bangkok consulate and throughout the visa run itself.

 

seemed only polite at the time as a i flew to nakhon panom and back.

unfortunately the thai consulate in savannakhet closed as i was en route and all i managed was a tourist entry.
 

 

it became habit afterwards.

i started wearing a mask on my bike rides after twice on one of my rides through bang lamphu someone pointed at their mask in reaction to my lack of one. 

 

I will stop when the courtesy is no longer required.

As soon as I get in my car...

[Expattaff1308]

I will continue to wear when on my m.bike, never a user before the rule came in but since I've noticed how much cleaner my throat and nose is since I've been wearing one. The mask prevents the dust and fumes getting into your throat and nose whilst out in traffic.

I will need at least another 10 links from logosone to daily mail articles

before I am convinced that masks are dangerous spreaders of the virus.

 

Apparently, the rate of infection goes up when people wear masks, he had 

graphs p, statistics and everything ????????

[WalkingOrders]

I will wear a mask reflective of the choices Thai  make.

[vermin on arrival]

I will wear them for some time, and will follow the laws and customs of the society I am in.

As soon as possible..already seeing quite a few people around outside not wearing the ****** things.

[VocalNeal]

Only wear one now to be polite. So as soon as possible.

[White Christmas13]

Never worn one in Australia

[cornishcarlos]

As long as Muslim women can wear a hijab into the bank, I'm wearing a mask into the bank !!

[Eibot]

Generally when I take a shower.

[Yankeesvsredsox]

play it by ear

[Grumpy one]

I will stop wearing a mask when a 20 something young lady calls me hunsum man, or when my wife lets me  

[userabcd]

Probably never. From now on when out in public I will always be using it to protect myself from others.

 

Can't count how many times in the last 2 to 3 years I have caught cold or flu from people coughing and sneezing in public (and it always seems to be near me) The offender does not attempt to cover or protect themselves.

 

Even these days some people are still coughing and not covering their mouth/nose when doing so. When I hear it unexpectedly near me now, I take off running as far as possible away.

Becsuse of the "only people who are sick wear them" attitude in the West...well, excluding hard hit places like NY, who rapidly changed ther mind. 

[Skallywag]

When all the dirty foreigners stop coughing and sneezing.  So never ????

[Ventenio]

depends where you are at, of course.  At Immigration, inside a temple, etc...

 

last night at the park, i saw about 100 kids playing together.  running, football, lifting weights, music whatever.....maybe I saw 2 masks.

 

no cases in my province, and every day i see less people wearing masks at the market.

 

but if i got on a bus to bangkok, i would wear 10.

Social distancing works in Australia, plus the threat of hefty fines. IMO masks found favor here because getting Thais to social distance is like trying to herd cats.

Where is he anyhow? 
did you hear that a study conducted in 30 countries............!!

At least he is entertaining.

[Yorkshire Tea]

Hopefully, stop wearing one for a few months at the end of next year's burning season, around Chiang Mai.

[Lacessit]

When I'm in my condo, my car or on the golf course. Otherwise, when thai shops and other organisations don't require them anymore.

[Sujo]

When shops and bars say i can get in without one.

You do realise that wearing a mask does absolutely nothing to protect YOU from catching a virus?
