Such handwritten signs around Hong Kong are evidence of growing impatience with foreigners who insist on going out in public without face masks during the coronavirus crisis . It’s a well-aimed barb—most foreigners in Hong Kong have the money to buy a pack of disposable face-covers. And Hong Kongers these days are scrupulously hygienic.
Initially Hong Kongers blamed mainland Chinese for carrying the disease from across the border. They demanded, and partly obtained, the closure of the frontier. Then the main concern became local transmission among Hong Kong residents, which was swiftly brought under control. For six weeks the graph of cases in Hong Kong was enviably flat. Since mid-March, however, the line has shot upwards.
After the SARS crisis, Hong Kongers never lost the habit of wearing masks in public when sick. And when covid-19 struck, people queued for hours to buy handfuls at extortionate prices. So many packages of masks used to arrive from abroad that the postal service made special arrangements for their speedy delivery. Now the masks are shipped the other way: Hong Kongs postmen are laden with piles of parcels full of masks waiting to be dispatched to coronavirus hotspots around the world.
The Hong Kong government advises wearing a surgical mask if you are ill, travelling or visiting crowded places. But many people wear them everywhere. Others sport industrial-style respirators with rubber seals. Some café owners, bus drivers and, oddly, all bookmakers ask customers to wear masks, but it is rarely mandatory outside hospitals and doctorConfrontations with foreigners who go mask-free are rare, but the stigma is growing.

Foolish people doing foolish things. You decide who they are.
Before masks tackle the core of the problem wet food wild animal markets. It's China's third pandemic strike...
Lets all wear masks
Hi. WHO advices mask wear by people who have a cold or are taking care of infected. Keen to know why should others wear masks? Further, surgical masks are not effective. Pls clarify
so selfish
There’s no room for individuality. Respect local culture and customs
Where are the foreigners from? Why are they so selfish threatening the lives of others amidst of the coronavirus outbreak? British? American? 🌝

Those appearing in public without wearing a mask are murdering other innocent people!!! Stop being stupid and ignorant.
Same here in Taiwan, especially when we have been highly sensitive on public health issues since SARS 2003. Accept it, wearing masks is easy and effective.
Wearing Masks! Why Aren't all of you responsible for yourself and others? 然後再把這一切的責任推到中國身上？？自己傻不要強拉別人買單！！！
That’s why some of them fled to Peru.
Globalization also demands global food consumption. Eating wild animals must be GLOBALLY BANNED too. It's not culture. It's dangerous and insane
Non compliance from foreign nationals only,sounds dubious. Promulgate existing measures thru media would redound to achieve unity among the public. Essential to fashion an effective and compendious message for the authorities not to be seen as conniving and skulduggery driven.
In HK, we all knows face mask will not turn you to be Superman but it will decrease the chance to infect to other if you have no symptoms and walking on the street. Whole world is lack of face mask, so, pls stay home if you don't have face mask as longer as possible.
My friend from hongkong was so mad and was cursing these Europeans for the same.
In America there is growing impatience for NY license plates outside of NY. StopTheSpread
If there are sufficient FaceMasks available, it's important that all put them on: it must be compulsory! It's just where there aren't sufficient available masks for medical personnel & the sick: only who's sick & medics use them. HK has sufficient masks for all: HKers are right!
Just let them die, they deserve
I don't know what it is with white people who don't want to wear masks even if they're sick
These Foreigners are degenerates
Whereas here in America, people either get freaked out because they think I've got a deadly disease or they get mad because they think I'm withholding masks from a hospital, like my 2 or 3 masks is going to make a difference there?
Tmen dou m de
Everyone should be responsible for the path they chose.
