Crowd at Don Muang who gathered for food donations told to monitor symptoms

By THE NATION

 

 

A crowd of people who recently picked up food donations in the Don Muang district of Bangkok will have to observe their own symptoms, as they are deemed a group at risk of being infected with Covid-19,

 

 

Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman of the government's Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said on Saturday (April 18).

 

He added that if they fell ill, they should rush to check their condition at a hospital.

 

He said he was shocked to learn about the mass gathering, standing in a long queue to pick up food donations without social distancing, which exposes them to the infection risk.

He also asked people planning to provide similar donations to come up with a good system to manage the way people stand in the queue.

Unfortunately the desperate (and the not so desperate) will always queue for free food and drink.  They are not thinking of death by coronavirus but seeking to avoid death by starvation.

At first I thought it was a queue for immagration.

This is no joking matter. I and others here in Chiang Mai have been shocked at the sight of hundreds of people in queues at a number of food distribution centres around the city. These are not people after a free feed, they are people whose income has been trashed and are hungry.

 

This is serious.

Not  one of  thos e people  will  give a  flying  fart about it, there  will be  no  monitoring they couldnt care  less

Good to see the government is being so proactive, to set up food distribution centres for its people, NOT

Totally agree.

 

And while this human drama happens, celebrities, TV personalities and those on good and stable wages say in chorus "Stay At Home".
How can you stay at home if you don't have anything to eat?

One should make a big argument about what happened at Bretton Woods, where it was decided to follow Von Hayek's monetary theories, instead of Keynes, in fact excluding all the weaker strata of society. A crime. Money is not found in the mines, it doesn't need time or physical strength to find it, so a government that claims not to have enough money is because it is under blackmail of a system of debt money.

These human dramas, which we see more and more often even in apparently advanced countries, are nothing more than the result of those criminal monetary theories.

 

I am humanly close to every Thai who is suffering for a fault not his own, and whose origin he probably doesn't even know.

The lockdown will kill far more people than have died from the virus. They would have died anyway, the lockdown harmful and completely unnecessary.

You're too emotional and your comment appears an insular viewpoint.
