The other logic would appear to be if you have Covid you shouldn't be out and about anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWalker Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 7 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: Can you explain, please, why it is that so many hundreds of millions around the world have gone without masks for months, whereas in Thailand and elsewhere in Asia where those who are in, let's say, less free-thinking countries continue to do so? Why is there a greater chance of catching Covid in Thailand than elsewhere in the world? I look forward to your answer. I’m sure many Thai people like Chinese and Vietnam people were wearing masks when in city’s long before Covid and SARS, it was because of traffic fumes that they wear them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson's sanitisation of the Tory rags is dumbing down the media exposing it further You’re talking absolute rubbish and he doesn’t have his hands in all the media outlets. The hospitals still aren’t being filled up; people get the sniffles for five days and then are fine. Still people desperate to cling onto Covid being the menace it was, I see. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the time being I'll continue to wear one outside the home. Not to do so will offend a lot of Thais and it is, after all, their country. Why should it offend them tho? as its not a mandate anymore. everyone is free to choose so they shoudnt be offended, same as I'm not offended that they're carrying on wearing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that your both talking different helmets--if your wearing a full face helmet (and everyone should be IMO) then yer--I find it difficult to wear anything else with it. My mask is around my neck for when I take it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to wear a mask outdoors, a demand that was never, ever enforced anywhere by anyone. Otherwise, it's as usual, with any business free to demand you wear a mask or no entry.

We will all be back to wearing masks again soon. Lots are wearing them in France now. Infections rising daily and queues outside test centers. It will be worse after the summer holidays I suppose.

Who "we all" and how come "again"? I have not really been wearing them that much during the whole pandemic. It really seems some people think we will forever be wearing masks that contribute significantly also to the global environmental problem. Go and find something new to worry about instead of something akin to a flu. Edited July 1, 2022 by rabang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hearing aids I was given hang over the back of my ear, with a wire / tube that goes over the top and into the ear canal. Gets tangled up with my glasses when I take them off and I have to put the hearing aid back on. Even worse tanglement with the mask. These are not cheap hearing aids either. $2500.00 each!

Yes the policeman was masked..... The helmet makes getting one on difficult. Police should no longer be wearing masks outdoors as govt mandate that this practice not required now. No wonder Thais keep on wearing them if they see police not setting an example by continuing to wear masks outdoors. Suppose it’s a personal choice now and police are Thais after all so have that option too. So they will be wearing masks for ever unless ordered not to . … just like all Thais. Never be rid of the things here then…..???? Edited July 2, 2022 by TropicalGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the school teachers at my sons school have caught covid wearing masks, kids wearing them as well, supermarket workers have been catching covid standing behind petitions and wearing masks, people in rest homes and hospitals are still catching covid, wearing masks, I have an exemption and have had Omicron once 2 months ago, I have not been reinfected yet, meanwhile the school gave up and scrapped masks, people around the town are hardly bothering to wear them now, and no one seems to be worried or complaining about getting sick from the new variant, hopefully it'll stay that way.

KhunLA Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 So many folks vax'd (1-2-3-4X) & masked up, and yet ... ... you can't blame everything on us un-vax'd, or unmasked walking around by ourselves with nobody within 50 meters. Practicing social distancing and remaining uninfected. It's a bug, you can't stop it, and the vaccines (new definition of) isn't made to. Just helps fight it ... ???? I think we need to lock down the country again, and allow unrestricted visits (no vax / test) to Phuket. Itching to get back down there if beaches are empty again ... ME ME ME ????

Stargeezr Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Answer to why people in Thailand wear masks, well if you are in Bangkok on a bad air day, or in Chiang Mai, a mask is always a good idea. Other parts of the world where COVID cases are on the rise, well DUH is all I can say for the idiots who are maskless in a crowd. I will not go to the USA until less than 100 are getting sick per day from COVID, so that will be at least 2 to 3 more years. With all the mass shootings tho, I do not have any desires to be any closer to them than I am at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
