(Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
My experience is that face masks have all but disappeared, apart from some hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, and dentists. I live in Staffordshire.

Yes, it's not obvious. I saw a young Western couple walking around MV yesterday unmasked and it did occur to me that if they'd just arrived and knew that the law changed recently, they probably thought they were doing nothing wrong.HHTel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 11:55 pm Stores/shops/private businesses can make their own rules as in other countries. However apart from edits to some store websites, policies within stores are not obvious (as yet). Should you walk into Bluport without a mask and you're challenged. It's quite fair to say "Show me your policy rules"
Personally, I will wear a mask in shopping centres and stores (like 7/11). But there's no clarity as yet.

Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
Was in Bluport today and there were plenty of foreigners not wearing masks walking around and going in shops. Nobody seemed concerned. Locals still in masks of course.handdrummer wrote:"Show me your policy rules"HHTel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 11:55 pm Stores/shops/private businesses can make their own rules as in other countries.

Taken at Khao Kalok beach earlier today, from a distance with my crap phone camera, so excuse quality. Thai ingenuity at its best!

Gotta say, that after the last couple of days, you can tell the tourists in town, they're the ones without the masks!

Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
I've just been past a large construction project out near me and non of the workers are wearing masks anymore.
Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
I would imagine the workers are Burmese, and the tourists are farangs. The Thais still seem to be living in fear of the big mask stick the junta has wielded for the past two years. Most of the local sheeple are still wearing them where we are, in a rural setting in the middle of nowhere!

Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
I’m in the UK at the moment where the incidence of catching Covid is increasing quickly (up half a million in a week) - it’ll be interesting to see whether people go back to wearing masks again or carry on as normal?

In the article, Dr. Bauld said these comforting words, "these things burn themselves out, when they run out of people to infect."Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 11:44 amHere’s an article from the BBCDannie Boy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 10:31 am I’m in the UK at the moment where the incidence of catching Covid is increasing quickly (up half a million in a week) - it’ll be interesting to see whether people go back to wearing masks again or carry on as normal?

Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
From that article:
The number of people in hospital with Covid across the UK is 10,081 - up by around 2,500 in a week. More than half of those will be there for other reasons, such as a broken bone or a stroke, but they still need to be managed.

Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate
But all the same, numbers are going up rather than down - let’s hope as the article says, that it will eventually burn itself out and no worse strains come along!!
