As they fine you protest as much as you like !   Just wear one you selfish person! We don't want your germs as much as you don't want ours! Keep your germs to yourself as it seems you have so many to bring to your face.

His logic: Should be allowed to spread germs to others if he wants, but doesn't want to spread his own germs to himself.

OK, but I hope he realizes that maybe he is infected but doesn't yet know that and he could infect  people.

 

Or the reverse, he might pick up the virus from a market worker or a shopper while he's in the confines of the market.

 

Who could disagree that prevention is critical and is not rocket science. 

It would be nice if all those asking other people to realise things, would realise themselves, that the chances of him having it or catching it from someone else in the market are close to zero. Pattaya has had zero cases for a month now. Please stop acting like the sky is falling down. Im not sure when society turned into such pansies but it would be nice to get back to the old normal, a time pre millenial when being scared was not something to be applauded

That has nothing to do with it you’re referring to going to a house of worship looking unpresentable. You shouldn’t go into government buildings in shorts either that’s like wayyy off topic. Or court. That’s like saying I’m gonna start walking around naked and has nothing to do with this. 

Not at all. Wearing shorts is not illegal. By 'looking presentable' you mean, complying with the temple rules. Some people may think they look perfectly presentable in their shorts (say, part of a safari suit) but they would still be going against the temple rules.

The market in question has a rule saying masks must be worn. If you want to go there, you follow the market rules.

 

If you are not wearing a mask you cannot visit that market.

If you are wearing shorts you cannot visit the temple.

I truly do not understand why putting a mask on that’s been sitting on a table in a purse or a pocket bringing those germs to your face is so hard to comprehend. 

It's not suppose to be in your pockets. It's suppose to be on your face.
When you arrive home, you hang it to dry outside.

CDC's newest guidelines warn of only one likely way of contracting coronavirus

CDC's newest guidelines warn of only one likely way of contracting coronavirus

As the CDC is learning more about the nature of COVID-19 and the way it spreads among the population, their guidelines on potential ways you could contract the disease have been updated.

 

Now, a slight but potentially significant shift has come to light on CDC's website. Where once their coronavirus guidelines warned that "it may be possible" to contract the virus through contaminated surfaces and objects, the website now lists "touching surfaces or objects" as an unlikely way of contracting the virus.

 

The most important precaution is wearing a face mask and keeping a safe social distance from others at all times. Keep washing your hands frequently and be mindful of touching your face.

No its not got plenty of foreign guys here finding ways not to use a mask and endanger others not input contact details as required. Saying the system is useless but at the same time worrying that its used to track them (how can a system be worthless on one side while work perfectly to track them)

 

Its a rule to wear masks at markets so just do it its not that hard to do. 

[ThailandGuy]

Besides that the man can be sick without knowing it.

The policeman is also wrong as he is not wearing and handling his mask the right way. He is touching it all the time at the frontside and is shoving it up and down on his face, Ergo his hand will be contaminated and also the inside of his mask will get contaminated because germs that reside on his face will get on the inside of the mask by shoving it up and down several times and eventually land in his nose and mouth area. His contaminted hands will touch other objects and infect them aswell. So who is save here?  This what the policemen is doing is also useless and open for debate.

And because we are humans and behave in the way of 'human nature', everyone on the planet will have been guilty of exactly the same behaviour as the cop. Yet doing so renders masks practically pointless? 

 

That mans chances of being sick are closer to zero than they are to 1% but you keep on using the same tactics as the MSM if you are too gullible

Why do you keep telling folk they are terrified of the virus, that is totally daft.

 

Folk get a flu jab every year, not because they are terrified of it, it's because it reduces the risk of getting it.

Now I think you are a wind up, trying to belittle folk who are just taking preventative measures. 

Now if you and a few others want to go down your "don't give a toss route", that is up to you, but please back off from the insulting insinuations....

 

There's a good chap....????

 

PS. I had Hepatitis jabs before I came to LOS, why was that....?

And at the same time, those terrified of the virus should refrain from trying to convince us who arent too worried to let us live how we want also. Works both ways. Most of us arent of the 'dont give a toss' brigade . . . more that we arent part of the 'everyone has got it and if I live in the same dimension as them, I am bound to contract it' brigade, thats all.

Not sure many here are actually terrified.

 

How do you know most are "don't give a toss"?  I would suspect many are of the "we are not Thai and cannot affect the decisions except, perhaps, by being bolshy <deleted> who may cause the restrictions to be in place longer by acting like dicks" brigade.

A conviction that you do not have Covid19, is not proof that you do not have Covid19.

I will accept I may have missed reading  there is a world wide agreement on many of the factors involved with Covid-19 and I will accept that the primary reason for infection is airborne. The point I made is that governments have not come to consensus of opinion on the wearing of face masks; compulsory here  and not deemed to be of any benefit unless you are ill in Australia. 

I think it is because social distancing has the same effect and some countries are emphasizing that approach instead, in the UK they are advising people to wear masks (or covering) on public transport but not enforced (which it should)

 

There are some very obvious common sense things like ventilation in confined spaces 

 

The idea of mask wearing is (as already mentioned) to stop someone already infected spreading it to others when they breath - talk - sneeze and cough

 

we are learning every day about this virus as countries like S Korea carry out studies on spread - morbidity - immunity etc

 

Vitamin D3 deficiency is now becoming a recognised risk factor and might start to explain why certain individuals are reacting more severely to infection than others, in fact IMO I could see Vitamin D becoming very relevant in the coming weeks as studies progress - it might just become the magic bullet

I was thinking why are there so many in Thailand? I can't get away from them.  When I don't see them around here, I know they are out burning down 5G towers, throwing darts at an effigy of Bill Gates or just possibly watching the Messiah, David Icke for inspiration.

Wow must be so hard to wear a mask in public for some. Perhaps other countries that dont require it would be better.

 

Do some of you also argue with police that the law is stupid and you wont abide by it?

 

Really, is it that much of a big deal to wear a mask?
