A couple of youngman wear masks I met at Lu Jiazui’s street the day before yesterday, I guess they come from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan, because we always laughed them fear to death. The day before yesterday was May day, so many people crowd the Pearl Tower, Lu Jiazui.They speak loudly, shout, laugh, some people sneeze, even spit, litter everywhere, but looks like nothing happened in Shanghai, these people with masks were very strange. Unlucky, a report said there was a Mexican stopped Shanghai temporary then flied to Hong Kong, he was validated to be infected with terrible swine flu by Hong Kong government. Remain likely 13 people within same flight to Shanghai lost communication, some people were to be infected,maybe they are among us. We had to face swine flu is spreading over the world now. Is Shanghai a place of Shangri-la? Are Chinese immunized from disease? We have already invented good medicine to cure the swine flu? bosh.

Please wear masks everybody, although I don’t know the masks are effective in preventing the virus or stop spreads, but I thought it is available way for people to protect themselves and care others.

Really? but a few people wear masks I met in the street..

I went to 2 pharmacies in the corner yesterday but didn't get any..

I perfer to wear mask when I take subway. It's too crowded.

It seems uncomfortable to wear a mask..

It is uncomfortable. I feel very stiff having a mask on. But they said this will do to avoid contamination..

I don't like to wear  mask. But if necessay I would do. Now it seems no serious situation in China. What I feel happy is that China Government is more transparent than before and react quickly, effectively and efficiently..

“Please” 后面请不要加 "to".

这个好像小学里就教过了吧。

我有职业病。请大家谅解。不过我真的是受不了 Please 后面加 to..

是不是“please to wear masks”？.

I just saw the rule of this section -- No Chinese. Ok let's say it in English although I prefer Chinese

'to do something' is a phrase, not a sentence. But after 'Please', you need a sentence. It took me a while to figure out this 'why'. But you can tell 'please to ..' doesn't sound right by just reading it. That's why reading is important.

Another problem of your essay is, unlike Chinese sentences, English sentences can't be connected by comma. If your sentence is complete, use a period.

Hope you don't mind .

Make sense,thank you very much.

I always like to say "lease to do something", but not aware this is a mistake. I need continued to improve my English ability,especially on written skills..

This is the only topic that 95% words are in English.  Perfect!
Today i had lunch in Wujiang Road and met 2 men with "professional" masks.  They should be from HK.  It seems that only 5 cases of H1N1 in China mainland.  Maybe they want to protect us..

Sure, only 5 people were infected H1N1 flu in mainland China to date. Unfortunatly,flu is spreading out in our neighbour Japan rapidly, one of my friend had to cancelled the trip to Osaka and Tokyo. I thought the reason is:

1. Powerful leadship by party and government.

2. Powerful Chinese food we eat daily maybe, like San Lu milk powder, Meng Niu etc.

Don't be mind, I am just kidding in item 2. Item 1 is main factor.
