Who has the UK nuclear button while Johnson is ill?

Who needs expensive nukes when a virus can kill the world?

Nukes are old school.

Just drop a test tube at a few international airports, and no one can point the finger at who dropped it!

Isn't that a bit misleading?

It gives the impression that currently the first 50 units are free.

I may be wrong but I thought it is only free if you use less than 50 units.

Use 50.1 units and you pay for them.

Quite correct, use less than 50 it's free, go over you pay for everything.

Great plan? The airlines will be delighted! Would that be 200 people on one plane or 10 people each on 20 planes? ????

 

 

Could be both scenarios.

Plenty of those arrested were drinkers organizing parties, gamblers or people doing drugs.

They have little respect for the normal law, an emergency decree is treated with the same contempt.

Just a common sense solution as everyone and their friendly soi dog has suggested for the last month or so.!

Immigration hierarchy and common sense... not had nearly enough meetings yet.

How to contain the security threat posed by them all.. after allowing them in, in the first place?

How much I'd love to see all of our individual embassies pen a strong letter to the Immigration service and PM Prayut stating this in itself is a health risk to all those made to follow this madness!

Always a few that have to try to evade the regulations.

Hope they enjoy a few baht less in their pockets with a 15 day stay somewhere squalid!

Well they've blown the "medical hub" out the window so might as well change the record!

Here it is. The Junta  govt. can't afford a 24hr curfew because they know it will be the end of them. Drop the numbers. Make yourself look good and avoid the consequences political, social and ecomocic. The drop in numbers is a smoke screen.

Sounds like a good plan... keep people working during the day, keep mass gatherings at night to zero, push the self protection and hope for the best!

but from the perspective that the government has been saying it would only ramp up restrictions if the figures got worse, we can at least hope for some sense of normality to return, as opposed to things getting tighter.

I understand what you're saying, but with the low and now seemingly falling numbers with very few deaths I don't understand why the hint of a longer/stronger curfew and the order to turn military camps into field hospitals?

Something doesn't add up.

Is it, or is it more media manipulation to instil fear?

I'm living here in Thailand, my mother who is 90 is in  a care home in England, with a weak immune system and some underlying conditions at the moment. I'd rather she didn't contact the virus as it would be the end of her.

I'm not living in fear, it's a concern that an idiot like the girl in this post could do something similar and end up killing someone.

What I meant was that some caution in opening is wise.  If they can afford to close for a period of time, which I suspect they can, then why not close.

Why risk lives if you don't really need to, i.e. having staff come in etc etc.

They sell a lot of stuff that school children require which is no longer a demand.

The store sells 99% food products, so normal opening is 06:00 with the now 22:00 forced closure.

There are no restrictions of how many people are in the store at any time and as I witnessed no restrictions on amounts of food people can individually buy, making hoarding possible.

Hand gel and masks are available at the entrance, you must cleanse your hands and a mask is mandatory.

Otherwise it's business as normal.

All staff members wear protective masks and face shields.

One meter distances are required at the cash desks... which seems to be reinforced to almost every Thai customer as they bunch up as normal.

The hospital staff told her to remain in quarantine at home until the lab results came back, but she instead drove back home by car with her boyfriend to Ubon Ratchathani.

Nail her to a cross for 14 days in full public view!

Sheer stupidity, her boyfriend and now family members are all at risk and facing isolation.
