Popular Post lee b Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 Of course I want things to be relaxed and things to start reopening, I just hope they don't rush into it to quickly. If they do there could be a high possibility of cases rising again and then we all go back to square one. I dont want to go through this lockdown again when it seems the county has done so well so far. This is my worry, but again am I worrying to much or has all the bordem blitzed my brain? 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grumpy John Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 That's excellent news. I expect the country will start getting back to abnormal soon.

Somewhere In Time Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Brilliant news as we approach late-April! Could a modest return to some normalcy in May be within reach? If low numbers continue, it will be ambiguous not to see that eventuality. Big decision(s) ahead! SIT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are obviously in a fortunate position that doesn't require an income then... Easy to support further lock downs.. Millions around the world are not so lucky and are at the limit already.. We had to close our restaurant and lay off 6 staff, so that's 6 families without a wage earner !!!

ukrules Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Singapore had the situation under control for a while until all those migrant workers who stay in very cramped dorms started to get it, then it spread like wildfire. 100's of people packed in like sardines 10 to a room sleeping on bunkbeds. Do we have any cramped dorm like conditions in Thailand? I'm sure the government are all over this issue now they've seen what can happen in Singapore. Construction work camps is what I'm referring to here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranshoko Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I hope the numbers are accurate. Problem here in Thailand is the lack of testing which presumably the numbers are based on. Time will tell. I hope things will get better soon for many Thai people struggling with the lockdowns. However, I think it will be a while yet before they open the entertainment venues and allow tourists back in the country 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck1966 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Why has the formatting of the official daily statistics changed. In the beginning the top figs were reconciled to the bottom with numbers in private and govt hospitals + people who had been sent home The more recent reports don't show this and have different information. Obfuscation?? Edited April 20, 2020 by Canuck1966 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for getting back to some normalcy. But if the gov opens the borders now and lets all manner of visitors in, that could be a little dicey. How would they even do that? Still many hot spots around the world, including the USA, UK, etc....not to mention China. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
