Besieged Lumpinee boxing stadium clarifies number of visitors on March 6

By The Nation

 

 

Lumpinee boxing stadium issued a statement today (March 25) to clarify reports that up to 10,000 people had attended the boxing event on March 6, which was later blamed for the recent spike in Covid-19 infections.

 

Also, the two security guards said to have been infected, are still in good health and have not travelled out of Bangkok,it said.

 

There were around 2,500 people in the stadium on March 6 - including MCs, boxers, staffers and the press, and not 10,000 as reported, it said.

 

However, the statement did not respond to the rumour that the Boxing Board had requested cancellation of the matches on March 6 in a letter sent to the management of the stadium dated March 4.

General "Fireproof"

From the photo the place does not look big enough to hold 10,000 people.

2500 meet 4 = 10.000 x meet 4= 40.000x meet4 = etc etc

why was this allowed to go ahead, that is what needs to be asked and the General can investigate.

No chance, but someone should be locked up for a long time for this.

Never fear, the PM has it all under control,,, sorry, that was last weeks announcement

Seriously though, who would want to be in his shoes now the mistakes have been made

with pretty much the whole country being contaminated.

Roadblocks now ? About 2 weeks too late, & I wonder if you wave a "big Note" out the window can you just keep driving, It used to work.

We will get a baby boom just like after the war

So supposedly one person infected 50 others?  Were they all sitting near one another I'd guess? Can they ask all the corona-virus sufferers what their seat number was ? Maybe the one that gave everyone else the disease can be tracked down. Any CCTV of the event?

And 10 or 20 of those 50 infected returned to their likely villages and ate or partied with families and then went to work (or not).  Had they tracked them down in the first few days, they might have been able to nip it in the bud.  Too late now I think
