Ask yourself this.  Why would the fashion designers now be preparing the next years clothing lines with matching designer masks if there was no need to be wearing a mask....Think hard and long before you answer the question.

Because fashion and jumping on the bandwagon to make a coin. not because a piece of what ever the current clothing fabric fad covering the face is in any way effective.

Would the answer be, because the military government own the fashion designing companies.  ????

 

My second choice answer would be, because the fashion designers also have a Phd in Virology.  ????

Nonsense, pandemics always go away otherwise we'd all dead. Therapeutic medicines, vaccines, better overall treatments and coordinated responses will always beat a pandemic, the virus has to be attacked not let to thrive on its own. Its human nature to fight an enemy especially one like this.

 

There are plenty of tools in the box to fight, wearing a facemask is the easiest one to use along with the more severe measures which I doubt you like either.

Not in the least.  Look at the UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8186273/Designers-focus-creating-non-surgical-masks.html

 

And the US design and fashion Area of Los Angeles

https://www.foxla.com/news/masks-are-high-fashion-for-la-designer

 

And then the East Coast of the US

https://6abc.com/armstrong--wilson-majeeda-monae-masks-covid-19/6204243/

 

The list keeps on growing outside of SE Asia, and I wish I was making it up.....so once again is it just a marketing gimmick or something that will be long term.  Why would designers waste money on a design and product that goes nowhere.  They are in the industry to make money, not loose it...

The pandemic statistics may subside, but that doesn't mean the virus has gone away.  It can still kill, until we can "code" the immune system of the human race to kill it, and even then, we may not be able to kill it, just manage it. Eg. HIV.

The UK and The US are hardly shining examples of how to manage a pandemic, are they? 

 

And just for you, off the first page of Google.  Some funny ones in here.  ????

The pandemic will finish, ie it will be announced officially that it is finished, when that happens it will be because it can be managed through one of the mediums I suggested, I really thought that was obvious in the post.

Be responsible and wear a mask or don't go in high density places near other people, simples

 

 

Bus drivers refuse to let passengers onboard without a mask, could it be because so many of them have died. 

 

Detroit bus driver dies of coronavirus after posting video about passenger coughing

In late March, Jason Hargrove, a public bus driver in Detroit, posted a live Facebook video about a woman coughing on his bus several times without covering her mouth.

“That lets me know that some folks don’t care,” he said, in an emotional live stream. “You all need to take this <deleted> seriously. There’s folks dying out here.”

Less than two weeks later, he died of coronavirus, Detroit’s mayor announced in a press conference on Thursday.

Plenty more links to further reports of this in the US the UK and many other countries. Even in Thailand

These are just ones who die, how many caught the virus? Many hundreds

Open mouth, engage brain before thinking this is about dead people.  A mask is to protect your health and the health of others so they do not wind up dead.  Oh I get the sarcastic remark, but you need to use sarcasm when warranted, and not when you try and be serious in your other posts....

When you say "the pandemic will finish" do you mean statistically, or, do you mean the virus has been eradicated?  

 

There's a big difference between eradication, and management, as I alluded to with my example of HIV. 

 

HIV has not been eradicated, and is still a killer, without medical intervention, and it's not airborne, like Covid-19 is. 

 

As the use of condoms is a method to stop transmission of HIV, what if masks were proven beyond doubt to significantly increase protection of the community from Covid-19?

I'll consider the advice of medical experts, not fashion designers.

Maybe they should research putting a mask on your bell end and a condom on your head?

 

I do hope the Donald doesn't read this, I'd hate to see his next press conference.

[Leaver]

As the great mask debate continues, an example of how one's choices and actions can effect the health of others around them, via the air space, is smoking.  Many countries have now made no smoking inside laws, to protect non-smokers from smokers. 

 

No mask, no entry, MAY be around for a long time, for the same reason.

Yep and smokers adhere to those rules as they're educated enough to know its true.

Look at the phrase "it can be managed" then if you still don't get it I cannot help your comprehension of English any further.

Yet, people deny the very breath coming out of their own mouth has the same potential to harm others, despite being non-smokers.

 

Next time I visit my dentist, or Buddha forbid, I need an operation, I will be sure to tell my health care professionals to not bother wearing a face mask, because wearing them is all BS., fake news, no sound medical evidence to show wearing them offers protection, and it's a conspiracy invented by the illuminati to sell medical face masks.  ????

Your post was ambiguous. 

 

Perhaps you should Google the word "ambiguous" and give yourself an "English" lesson.

And the non mask wears can continue enjoying the freedom of a mask free life like they have for the past 3 months....And they might even consider being called a inconsiderate jerk a badge of honor.....

It doesn't work that way. The masks are to protect others. They need to be worn by most people. Not a fashion choice. No shoes, no shirt. no mask, no service. What's the big deal?

Don't see it that way. It is a rule in Thailand and and if one does not like it, stay home or get out. I support the idea of non mask wearers in public places, where they cannot distance, being refused entry. Further if caught flagrantly breaking the rule they should be challenged, and if refusing to comply arrested, subsequently charged, and if found guilty punished. In the case of foreigners, deported. 

As to those wearing masks, thank you, I consider your generous act a decent and consideration of my, and the safety of others around you, well done.

If you can do one kind thing today, wear a mask to show others you care
