There was a report in the Bangkok Post that 206 Thais arrived at Suvarnabhumi on Wednesday on repatriation flights.... 71 from the Netherlands (1 sick) and 135 from Madagascar !
Madagascar is an island off the east coast of Africa. I wouldn't have had it down as a place where Thai tourists would go.... maybe they were employed in the entertainment business???

Well outside my house as I write seems to be concerted effort by the local Black shirt Village enforcement agency to stop and make sure everyone is wearing masks going to and coming from the market. They went through the market like a dose of salts many traders stopped wearing masks weeks ago.
I went to the gate to see what was happening, man said wear a mask, I am inside my garden, locked the gate and walked away. Stupid man.

Do masks actually do anything to prevent the spread of this disease? Or respiratory diseases in general?

Well, some mask manufacturers don’t seem to think so. Printing this warning on the side of the box

While the Lancet and Mayo Clinic have produced articles recommending mask use, actual scientific studies are hard to come by to back there use, all seem to show the opposite.

No surprises with this.

From the very start of the outbreak it was common knowledge that masks would not protect you from COVID. Droplest could land on exposed skin, eyes etc.

What masks do is to reduce he chance of somebody with COVID to spread it if they sneeze. The other benefit of masks was to reduce the number of times a person would touch their face transferring possible contaminated hands to the face

Confusing, the WHO are now recommending the wearing of masks.

Really? The leopard can’t change its shorts. As the wonderful TP wrote.

So far the orange has consistently managed to find more and worse feet to stick in his mouth. Every week / day brings more fun.
