nauseus Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Felt 35 said: Is it a curfew or not? They say stay inside but are there hammered a curfew by law or only an advice to stay inside. For some stay inside mean not go shopping, visit restaurants, meet friends etc., for others born unsocial as me it mean no individual cycling, walk/jogging even if its far distance from every human so what is the order by law? Thanks Felt. Hopefully some more precise details coming out later today from the PM. If you are confused, join the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrTuner Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) They might want to learn from the Spanish flu. One mode of treatment was fresh air and sun. Not everybody lives in s condo, some of us have a private yard. Thailand is and has been an ongoing PR disaster. Get one entity and only one entity to do announcements and everybody else should refer to them. Edited March 26, 2020 by DrTuner 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moonlover Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 35 minutes ago, ftpjtm said: I walk between 3 - 10 kms daily for my health, either on the streets of my quiet neighborhood or a quiet section of beach. I can easily keep a 2 meter distance between myself and others in either case. Now I'm being asked to stay inside a relatively crowded and cool house instead? How is that more healthy? If we were being ordered to stay inside then that would be a gross imposition and would constitute a curfew. But we're not, we're being advised to stay inside. I shall continue with my daily constitutional walk whilst ensuring that I stay clear of populated areas. That's quite easy for me living, as I do in the country. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay now indoors 99% of the time. But it's impossible to keep social distance especially if we have to go to the immigration. I have no car so normally I have to take the minivan and motorbike taxi to drive one hour to the immigration. Last time, on the way to the immigration I counted the people which are in close contact me in the minivan. (around 30 people going in and out ONE way. ) One woman was in front sneezing and coughing.At the immigration there wasn't so much people but again we still have contact with some. So I'm ok with social distancing and to stay indoors but Im guess many people do it with the minivan, the only solution I see is to take private taxi and hope that the immigration center is not full, because it's kind of useless if you stay indoors for 3 Month and then you come with around 50- 100people on one day in contact. I agree. I have been isolating in my condo for 1 week, (no specific reason other than prudence). I have today been out to weekly shop at the supermarket. All precautions taken, (face masks FWIW), hand gels at s/m and in the Grab car, in and out of condo. But we still have 33 condo staff, (maids, security and management company). Most residents have live-in maids, (who go shopping for their employers everyday, probably using public transport). I have a part time maid, but I have suspended her services since last Friday, (although I will continue to pay her in full), because I do not want to put her at risk, (using public transport), or obviously myself. Others, who have p/t maids still have them come in and out every day. Whilst all condo facilities, (including the pool which I would dearly love to use for my daily 1200m exercise), have been closed for the forseeable, the lifts are used by all residents, maids, drivers, security etc. It has been an incremental shut down, starting with food deliveries having to be left in the lobby, and not delivered to individual units last week, but gradually a few residents have asked that facilities should be closed, but omitting to include their own personal staff, or indeed consideration that their own activities, (going to work in their offices), are just as high a risk potential. The defence is only as strong as the weakest point. And as we know, this virus doesn't distinguish between princes and paupers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kekalot Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 might not be the best place to ask and all but.. is there some serious enforcement of this? my friend just had her Bangkok nail salon closed for the next 17 days so I asked her if she wanted to come here near the beach during that time. she replied "In the period of adjustment, do not go outside. if violated, will be fined 100000 baht" her English is worse than my Thai but is that a thing? i'll be honest, haven't read all the news about this or 6 pages but does anyone know if this is true or just hearsay. I was thinking of paying her a taxi or getting her on a bus down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If doubles every 5 days that's 2000 in 5 days from now 4,000 in 10 days so around 16,000 in a months time. You must be very smart though because you say socialising is perfectly safe whereas almost every expert in the world would disagree. Very, very smart. A stable genius. LOL. Heat is the blessing here. It decimates the virus. We will not see big numbers. I estimate it will fade out at less than 5,000 cases total. Hope I am right. 2 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbeach Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 3 hours ago, Surelynot said: Foreigners and locals? So everyone! Yep. The lengths the Thai government and people go to maintaining an 'us vs. them' mentality by consistently making distinctions between Thais and foreigners is getting on all our nerves. Thailand needs a good dose of political correctness and leftist indoctrination, not this racist BS they've been getting away with for so long. The world we're heading into is going to be more multicultural, about time Thailand gets with the times instead of living in the 18th century. I can't remember the last time any American government directive or business or just any individual made a distinction between American citizens and foreigners. It just doesn't happen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
