TLDR : Answer Summary
As of recently until June 30th, 2020, there is a legal limitation in Thailand that prohibits exporting more than 30 face masks per person. This rule has raised concerns and discussions about mask efficacy, the behavior of individuals exporting masks, and the availability of masks for those who genuinely need them.

Can someone clear this for me. They say wearing a mask doesn't help. But if you a virus carrier you should wear it to stop spreading. Or when you take care of I virus carrier. So why wouldn't I wear one????

The world health organization stated that it's unnecessary for the majority of people to wear masks, not that masks were ineffective.

I wonder if they will stop people posting masks through the postal service. A girl I was studying with last month sent 30 boxes of masks back to her family in Hong Kong. I doubt she was the only person to be doing this

I assume the export ban applies to all avenues leaving Thailand.

Bit late now. I saw Chinese checking into flights at BKK with trolleys piled high with boxes of masks as early as December, and the Thai government has been encouraging huge wastage of masks by healthy people over the last 2 months, in contradiction to advice from the WHO. Now stocks are running low for people who really need them (for reasons completely unrelated to the hysteria around covid19).

who has proved it or what have they proved. You are full of it matey, P2 paper mask fitted correctly will reduce spriometry infection by 75% for anyone, in particular those with symptoms such as COPD Bronkitis or similar lung or respiritry issues. Suggest you don't spread rumors or read bullshit in the Sun newspaper.

Would you honestly prefer to have no mask inside a room full of infected people?
