Neeranam Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I don't wear a mask when running, nor do 95 % of the other runners. Usually older people are the 5%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing one outside is beyond stupid. The idea with a surgical mask is to limit bacterial transmission. Corona virus particles are far too small for the fabric to do any good. But don't take my word for it - look it up yourself! That's one of the reasons why this virus seems to be so easily transmissable: governments all over the world insist on taking measures that do not work. Wearing a mask will only give a false sense of security, making people ignore social distancing. And it's harmfull for your overall health as mentioned in earlier posts. But I'm not suggesting to stop wearing masks where it is required by law, as it's not worth the hassle to be attacked by the misinformed sheep around you. Brilliantly said. Another study released just days ago confirms surgical masks are not suitable..The best description I heard was likening it to throwing sand at a chain link fence. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobinBKK Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I go long distance exercise walking 3 days a week in Bangkok, fast paced an can't run due to health reasons, but I always wear my mask. However, I see many locals not wearing a mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 They should get a treadmill or static bike and stop spreading plumes of Wuflu wherever they exercise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvorBiggun2 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I cycle and have been doing it way before covid. I've never worn a mask and I've never been pulled up about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not against the law to not wear a mask when exercising, I never wear a mask when I'm exercising (cycling) and no one had better complain including the police, or they will get told where to get off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I jog 10km early most mornings. No way I'm wearing a mask, but lucky I'm away from people. When cycling, I have a mask handy for when going slowly through a temple or market. But the rest of the time I don't wear one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, a world renowned virologist/physician steps in to clear up this previously mysterious issue. I just threw out the box of 3M N99 and N95 masks I bought. Woo hoo. Free at last. Thanks so much for the clarification and so early in your TVF career. You will fit in nicely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 4 hours ago, cdemundo said: Recent advice has been that masks were not needed outdoors if simply passing others while running or walking. So as the advice of experts changes I follow expert advice. Cute little schoolmarm aphorism anyway even though it was misplaced. I completely agree with that. I never wear a mask when I'm out and about in the village or when I'm taking my daily exercise walk around the lake. But I'm always aware of and respect social distancing.

Except for the fact the virus travels on droplets of water in the breath of those who infected. The size of the virus is therefore the wrong measure.

I know of two that got a fine, the prime minister, and one guy in the village where I live. Both cases were in the beginning of when fines became an option to support the government, so the village guy had to come up with 6,000 baht, I think to remember that the prime minister paid the same. However, it might depend of area how strict the authorities are, and if someone is running, or walking, to exercise without a mask in a more rural, or isolated, area; I see several daily, both farangs and Thais...????
