Let's put it this way so I don't get a suspension. Would you walk into a room full of infected people with a mask and expect not to catch it?

how would you know if they are infected ?

Would you walk in that room with the cheap masks that people wear ?

Ignorant, insecure, unmasked American with his Russian girlfriend pretending rules don’t apply to them and fooling no one.

I didn't see the colour. I just saw a very arrogant sob that couldn't understand that not wearing a mask IS everyone's business... which was his point of defense (mind your own business). 

 

Whether you believe they are useful or not, just put one on and save a lot of trouble.

You missed the point. It was a thought experiment that required you to assume that everyone in the room was infected.

 

Back to reality... because you don't know who is infected or not, we need to assume that everyone is. The early curfew has made the shops extra busy from 5 to 8 pm when they close, which will actually increase the spread, not reduce it. I was in the local 7Eleven a few hours ago and people were lined up at the counter. I will now change to 4 - 5am shopping.

As usual, certain foreigners think that they can do whatever that they can in their home country in Thailand.

 

This guy should be blacklisted from coming to Thailand in the future.

What a total waste of time, if he was Thai nothing would have been done.

Around here a very small percentage of people are wearing masks, nothing is done about it.

Just another farang bashing episode, having said that the man is as fool for not wearing a mask.

The guy was a complete a** hole.  If he spoke to me like that I would have bashed his head in.

So masks prevent the spread, and also prevent the catching of it 

amazing 

I see that for some it's no use debating with them. Hyperbole, deflections and anti-science all rolled into one. Have a nice anti-scientific life!

In real life, words often change their meaning. I have seen the word ‘farang’ used by Thais to address to different kind of foreigners.

Correct and it can even refer to Thais (not just luk krungs) not from Thailand.   It's similar to the usage of gringo in Mexico and other parts of Latin America.   You can be a black gringo or a black local and for whatever reason there are plenty of white folks who will insist gringo ONLY refers to them.  ????

Your point being what, it's all lies and a conspiracy, surely your trolling.

No familiarity with the concept of excess deaths. Rates of death from other, known causes don't suddenly, unaccountably spike in concert; you can't manufacture a pandemic from existing death rates.

You need to wear mask.

It's to stop your mouth from projecting spit while you talk.

 

This is because several studies have found that people with COVID-19 who never develop symptoms (asymptomatic) and those who are not yet showing symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can still spread the virus to other people. Wearing a mask helps protect those around you, in case you are infected but not showing symptoms.

 

Don't be the Taco Bell anti mask guy.

And note the rating: "Bacterial Filtration Efficiency". This is important as these masks were designed to filter bacteria, not viruses The mask says it all.

Before jumping on the main stream media band wagon,

you may want to check the facts about masks.

Check:

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
https://aapsonline.org/mask-facts/

 

Also for those to lazy to check anything:

World Health Organization (WHO), June 2020

    https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/332293/WHO-2019-nCov-IPC_Masks-2020.4-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
    “The likely disadvantages of the use of mask by healthy people in the general public include:
        potential increased risk of self-contamination due to the manipulation of a face mask and subsequently touching eyes with contaminated hands;
        potential self-contamination that can occur if non- medical masks are not changed when wet or soiled. This can create favourable conditions for microorganism to amplify;
        potential headache and/or breathing difficulties, depending on type of mask used;
        potential development of facial skin lesions, irritant dermatitis or worsening acne, when used frequently for long hours;
        difficulty with communicating clearly;
        potential discomfort;
        a false sense of security, leading to potentially lower adherence to other critical preventive measures such as physical distancing and hand hygiene;
        poor compliance with mask wearing, in particular by young children;
        waste management issues; improper mask disposal leading to increased litter in public places, risk of contamination to street cleaners and environment hazard;
        difficulty communicating for deaf persons who rely on lip reading;
        disadvantages for or difficulty wearing them, especially for children, developmentally challenged persons, those with mental illness, elderly persons with cognitive impairment, those with asthma or chronic respiratory or breathing problems, those who have had facial trauma or recent oral maxillofacial surgery, and those living in hot and humid environments.

 

 

Look, if the Thai government says that everyone has to wear pink undies because it stops Covid-19, then you wear pink undies....

 

Don't like the rules?  Then don't come to Thailand...

This  top story is mind blowing it should make the world press front page . 555

That there says it all, your a Covid denier, and a conspiracy theorist, moving on enjoy your theories as they are not relevant.

When will the QAnon conspiracy nut bags give it a rest. You are not in the US. You are in Thailand. It is a case of when in Rome. And your crazy non scientific ideas are lunacy.

In summary

- The Covid 19 coronavirus is almost certainly real, even if it originated from a lab. or not

- Wearing masks is inconvenient, but helps everyone if they're not exercising 

- The 'person of colour' and his Russian hooker know the rules and they should have at least put the mask on to be served (which is what I do)

- The fat whitey should mind his own business. There are staff to enforce rules

- This forum is the hub of expertise

- Can we close this thread now?

Just this morning  on beach road in Pattaya, I seen many white farangs, or Vanilla men, wearing their mask in correct or not at all.  Now tgat I know a video can get them some attention,  perhaps its worth sitting on the beach recording them and sharing on social media. 

Or you just politely ask them to wear a mask, like this senior citizen here had the balls to do..

Yep! There was another story about a 'Farang' that stole a landlords furniture. The police put on a screen show for the press with clipboards and pointy sticks to show how they caught the 'nasty foreigner'. Not sure why they feel the need to put on these cabaret acts for such petty crimes commited by foreigners. It really is getting quite absurd!
