Magenta408 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I guess the large party that flew in Friday at the international airport and refused to go to quarantine may not be affected. Were these locals are others? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregKeo Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Perhaps if the government publicised the real Covid-19 statistics (a perfectly linear increase in cases of around 100 per day is BS) people would be more likely to take the curfew and other measures seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with all you doom merchants is that you do not base your rants on any figures, you just quote what your uneducated brain spurts out.

Greg O Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Total rubbish of course the numbers are rising as testing is still in its infancy. Hard to flatten the so called curve with a curve that has no reference start or end coordinates they're just plotting points with questionable data ( testing is not even close to being 99 percent accurate ) and what standard does the testing conform to ? We know the answer. Get some fresh air and be safe y'all . The battle is not against the virus it's against Tyranny.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers will keep rising because people just kept ignoring social distancing as well as Thai returning from infected countries and spreading the virus . I read today that 100 returning thai's refused to go to a gvnmt isolation centre yesterday, but they agreed to isolate at home, 1. How did they get home. ? 2. Who is policing this. ? 3. Why were they not arrested after refusing quarantine. ? 4. Why am i getting agitated over this, these unlike others didn't run, well 3 did, they just refused to go. ?

sahibji Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 that maybe the only way to go as it is very difficult to enforce isolation without a strict law. for reasons best known to themselves there are people who believe in side stepping rules, if they can.

It is heavily used for RA Rheumotoid Arthritis, Lupus and Malaria. Just claim you are worried about malaria (as a preventative). Max69xl: I am not sure what you classify as Prescription. But in Thai pharmacies one can buy literally hundreds of different drug Over The Counter that would be ordinarily be Prescription/Script only in Western Countries.

I was in bkk when the coup in 2010 happened and the military shut down everything and it was madness no shops had food at all within about half a day. People with little to no money (at least 30% of the populace mai??) what are they gunna do with no money to buy and stockpile food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does news become propaganda? a bit slow over there, lots of people over here in the uk are coming to the realisation that this is a live exercise, (event 201) the death figures for the various countries involved are no different to last year, lots of people in these countries started visiting and filming their local hospitals, including some of the main hospitals in new york that, according to msm are drowning in dead bodies, there is hardly any activity at any of these hospitals, far less than usual. Cbs news posting images from Italy claiming its NY, another news agency in US showed pics of lines of coffins in a hanger claiming they are cv victims, that was a frame from a sc fi fiction series. You are being played like a fiddle. This global lock down is not about a virus, that's just the magicians colored hanky. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiang Mai Bill Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It is highly unlikely that the figures will reduce -- so why not implement it now? Of course, should the law be imposed it will not be obeyed -- well, not until a family member or someone close dies with the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomazbodner Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I think this 24 hour curfew is coming... This was the news in Thai from this morning... https://www.khaosod.co.th/covid-19/news_3885572 Basically 152 people from Suvarnabhumi who were supposed to go into 14 day quarantine fled to all over the country. What I don't understand is this: In China they are very strict and treat people like criminals being taken to jail, etc. But even in other countries incoming flights have customs and immigration stuff done on board, then the bus comes all the way to the plane, under armed guards they make sure everyone boards the bus, take them all to the quarantine place (hotel or similar), where they are escorted to rooms and locked in except for 3 meals a day left in front of their door. HOW can Thai authorities be so stupid to trust these people to follow the order without any supervision?! And are we sure this was the only time this has happened? There could even be more of these. So, if you wanted a huge spike in number of cases that would trigger a nationwide shutdown - You got it. Wait for a week or 2 and you'll be in 20,000+ infections.

He actually said today that the goal when increasing the curfew hours was to stop social gatherings,and he blamed mostly young Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for a week or 2 and you'll be in 20,000+ infections. 20k infected is not a very high number in a country with 69 million people. They let 100 Thai in at the airport yesterday,(I think). They might have had "fit to fly" certificates from an embassy/consulate abroad and are now supposed to self-quarantine for 14 days. That will never happen. Thai people are still leaving BKK and Chonburi for their home provinces and it seems like the government doesn't get that. These movements are imo the most dangerous.

Serious question Well a 24 hour curfew could work ... if they could figure out how to keep necessities open (essential workers) [food etc.] and give each person a window during the day based on the last digit of their birth year (i.e. 0 would get 8am to 9am on Mondays, 9am to 10am on Tuesdays; 1 would get 9am to 10am on Mondays, 11am to 12am on Tuesdays etc.) [Not that I am saying it is the best idea] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I must admit I haven't read all the posts here yet, but I cannot imagine a 24 hour curfew in Bangkok. Think how many Thais live in a small room with no refrigerator, no water filter and no way of cooking food. How would these people survive? Plus as many have said the economy will come to a complete standstill. I can imagine the curfew will be extended but that may be like shooting themselves in the foot. I went to a Big C today, as I do every Saturday, and people were panicking. I saw some man buy about 50 bars of soap! Many were buying as much water as they could get in their trolleys. As for social distancing - well that was impossible. I have never seen Big C so crowded. Any tightening of the curfew with only a small window to do shopping will make things much worse. The government needs to be more strict on people who are socialising, giving heavy fines to those who break the rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
