Govt urged to promote 'working and learning at home'

The government should start promoting working and learning at home via online channels as a national policy amid the on-going Covid-19 outbreak and the PM 2.5 air pollution problem, said Bhumjai Thai party spokesman Settapong Malisuwan.

 

He said it would lessen the risk of Covid-19 infection and soften its impact on some businesses while students will not be affected by closure of their schools.

 

It is time for the government to promote this practice with regulations, he added .

 

He said the virus and PM2.5, even if they can be contained, could surge back anytime. " it is important to be well prepared"

This might be a good time to ask the boss if you can work remotely now! 

 

I know a lot of students are getting to studying online. I'm not into fear mongering, but this is one of those situations where going towards the safe side isn't a bad idea. You can teach English online at English Gang, work remotely, or even have kids study online. It's not going to replace everything, but it's not a bad idea for the time being.

Thais can play facebook just as well at home as at work, no worries.

You REALLY get the feeling everything is "100% under control" (COVID19) and everything is done to get the situation under control, when it comes to air- quality, don't you?!

Meanwhile outside of the marble and gold leaf clad city life:

I wonder if 5g has reached them yet?

I've always liked the idea of homeschooling. Less, or no chance of brainwashing from governments.

Let them work at home ok  I got a better idea let the Thais start working a real job  You see so many in Ubon just laying around doing nothing. There is a huge constrcution going on near my villiage 70% of the workforce are women  Where are the men? Laying in their bloody hamocks doing nothing
