    if the majority are in BKK that would be a smart move to keep them there and don't allow them to travel and spread it out, thus first and foremost, lock down/shut down/block down, halt any and all traffic out of BKK

    Too late, someone I know working in Bangkok headed back to Roi-Et today... she said the bus station was packed with people going home around the country. Most quoted, "stay in Bkk for what, everything's closed and nothing to do".

    Huge amount of daily jumps now. Similar to how it started in Europe a few weeks ago. Got a feeling they need to impose a proper lockdown (this government have done it before) to avoid Thailand becoming like Italy or Spain very soon. 

    A lockdown is one thing... fully explaining what "self-isolation" actually means is another.

    Expect the numbers to rocket as carriers still continue to go out or mingle with family members at home!

    Provincial governors of border crossings nationwide have been given special powers to close borders, with only one land border crossing per province permitted to stay open

    Makes sense under the circumstances... although hard for some people.

    Tough decisions are never easy or welcome.

    its  not  about "beliefs" its  about  statements of  fact by specialists outside of  Thailand people who are  not  towing a line or  impeded by the state with a thought based education. Just  look at  Anutin, he  speaks on behalf  of  the govt................you trust him?

    There are two things in Thailand, truth and beliefs, as we all know they are thought of in equal measure by different factions of the country...

    It's not hard to wear a mask or any kind of protection when you go out... just make your own statement.. 

    "I'm doing something" is better than doing nothing.

    That's what the officials did at the start, and that got us where we are today!

    The holidays themselves should be deferred and people discouraged from traveling home to visit elderly relatives.

    The current venue shut-down is giving the people a chance to go home... the Songkran national holiday was being mentioned as a possible target for postponement.

    Most Thai in the entertainment industry will use this closure until the end of the month to go home.
