    Of course it could be that masks work a bit, reduce the risk without eliminating it. This middle ground thought seems to be impossible for some people to grasp. But then we are all fucking hypochondriacs aren't we?

    Public transport now request passengers to wear masks, White people violate rules, they are breaking Hong Kong virus defence system. I will scold obnoxious white people if they break rules.

    Calm down man...most people including expats are very reasonable. You will only stir resentment posting this way. I believe most people will eventually do the right thing (socially, if not always 100% scientifically) given the chance. Thank you for sharing your opinion, although I think us expats, white or otherwise, already recognise the depth of local feeling. Maybe a non-confrontational kind word or offering a mask offline might help more than continuing to post in this vein.

    (P.S. I recognised the qualifier “obnoxious”)

    Firstly, why bring in your racism? Secondly, use some common sense, there is zero risk from people that's don't cough/sneeze/talk - and you want to start a conversation? Not the smartest move.

    I won't guess why they claim that but our Singapore government was honest to admit that it was a risky decision not to provide masks to all the citizens.
    After our government uniformly distributed 4 masks to each citizen, the rest was left to the medical staffs. At least our government won't lie and say masks don't work.
    One of the research I have studied in my profession has shown that masks can reduce the chance of primary school students catching the flu. Primary school students are the most difficult group to use masks properly, and they can prove the effectiveness of masks on them. I don't why there is someone who thinks that using masks on adults increases the risk.
    they kind of admit it’s because they cannot supply enough to the general population so need to keep them for front-line staff.

    Well, I was out yesterday a bit. Most people I saw didn't wear a mask. Didn't see "whites" though.

    Anyway, wear one, it's fine with me. Really, i don't mind.

    And I'm sure anybody you scold, whatever their colour will tell you piss off and mind your own business as they rightfully should. If you're so convinced not wearing a mask is a threat you should surely be keeping away from them.
