GOP State Rep. Nino Vitale on why he won’t wear a face mask: “This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles. One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face.”
This is Bangkok Thailand . First day of reopening / easing lock down and our sky train ( BTS ) had malfunctioning train and tons of people had to wait on the super crowded platform . God I fear for the second wave .

I'm actually really surprised at Thailand and the Thai people. To be honest I thought we would be a complete disaster during this pandemic and I am shocked at how scared people were/are . I'm also surprised to see so many people in Europe wearing masks .I personally hate wearing it ( I know I advocate for it in most of my posts here ) . You smell your own our own breath and half of your face is always covered with your saliva but I would rather it be MY own saliva than someone else's .
I mean now in Thailand face masks , face shields and even rubber gloves are A THING . They are like the most fashionable accessories you can wear . It's weird .
We are a developing country but we have really good heath care system and great hospitals here . It's one of our largest industries ( we have a lot of foreigners coming to our country for all sorts of treatments as they are more affordable ) . Our culture has saved us a lot of lives too . I would give 80 % credit to our people ( we almost did everything ourselves with minimum help from the gov ) and 20 % ( begrudgingly ) to our government who did a passable job but it was us , the people , that did most of the work .
IMO clubs and bars should be the last places to reopen . I know people might want to enjoy the summer and the good weather but it's not worth the risk . There will be another summer.
But you only have one life .
