DaRoadrunner Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) This country never ceases to amaze. Can Director-General Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong please educate us all as to how we are going to eat and drink wearing a mask? Even more worrying, he's a doctor, supposedly one of their brightest citizens? Next they'll expect us to eat pu$$y while wearing a mask..... Duh, my brain hurts.

jingjai9 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What arouses my curiosity is the fact that the survey is done by the government. " (Health Service Support) Department had conducted an online survey among 7,507 participants regarding their individual preference for voluntary mask wearing after the mask mandate cancellation between 17 and 30 June." How did they choose their participants for the survey? Is this a large or small sample size for this kind of inquiry? Are there any independent polling agencies in Thailand? With the government conducting its own research they of course undermine their own credibility as they can easily be accused of collecting data simply to support any narrative they want to push forward due to the fact they can include or omit any part of the data they choose. Is the purpose of this survey an effort to gather "evidence" should the government choose to close entertainment venues once again if the number of COVID cases surges higher in the coming weeks? "According to the results, people would remove their masks when they were visiting entertainment venues. Such behavior could be at risk of spreading Covid-19. And if they were sharing the same glasses, it could be risking behaviors of getting infections as well,” Dr. Thares said. This entire effort could be sincere, but why not an independent polling agency? "Statistics don't lie but people lie who use statistics." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Likely only one's chosen 'entertainer' needs to keep the mask off to attract punters. 'Entertainment' has always been a risky business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
