CCSA panel comes up with guidelines for reopening venues

By The Nation

 

 

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has established a working group to come up with measures and procedures for venues nationwide.

 

The panel has set up a manual for operators listing measures and procedures, such as allowing customers to spend no more than an hour in a venue, refrain from large gatherings, being noisy and sharing things. Operators are also required to keep their venues well ventilated, screen customers’ body temperature, insist they wear masks and clean frequently touched surfaces.

 

“Provinces will be categorised based on the number of new Covid-19 cases they have had – those with no new cases, limited number of local transmissions, and sustained local transmissions,” a CCSA official said.

 

“As of April 14, seven provinces were categorised as those with sustained local transmission, namely Bangkok, Chonburi, Phuket, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Yala and Pattani.”

 

The panel has also specified requirements for operators based on the risk of their venues:

 

Low risk: Operators will be allowed to register to reopen their venue at all local administration centres or via online;

 

Moderate risk: Operators must improve the hygiene standards of their venue before registering for the resumption of operation with the Municipality Office or the sub-district administration centre;

 

High risk: The reopening of these venues will be left up to the discretion of the Provincial Administration Organisation.

 

“We have also created a mobile application which allows people to evaluate operators and this data will be sent to the Local Administration Organisation and Provincial Administration Organisation to monitor,” the official said.

 

The official added that all Provincial Administration Organisations must make preparations before opening provincial borders, such as screening people effectively, introducing hygiene measures, evaluating the risk of infection in each venue and postponing the opening of high-risk sites such as entertainment venues, pubs, bars, karaoke places and lottery shops.

 

Meanwhile, Kalin Sarasin, president of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, who is chairing the working group, said the final decision on whether businesses will be allowed to open lies in the hands of the prime minister.

The Provincial Administration Organisation staff has just hit the jackpot.

 

Cannot even imagine the amount of tea money necessary for reopening.

Bummer. Looks like a slow return to normal for BKK. Sigh...

Reading that article reminded me of why eggheads rarely open or operate businesses.

Total population: 65,000,000 people

Total cases: 2,811

total fatalities: 48

 

2,811 : 65,000,000 x 100 = 0.004 %   

It seems very reasonable to destroy your country with an infection rate of 0.004%

 

There is 1 case of Covid-19 for every 23,123 people in Thailand !!! ... sounds VERY dangerous

 

Total fatalities:

About 400,000 people die in Thailand every year !

400,000 : 365 = 1,095 per day : 24 = 45 per hour !!!

 

So, the total number of fatalities EVERY hour of EVERY normal day in Thailand is

the same as the TOTAL number of fatalities of the whole "crisis" in this SCAMdemic ???

 

This is CRIMINAL !!!

So next stage is a commitee,with of course various sub comitees examining the various pro's and cons,to report to a select comittee,who will then produce a white paper that will receive due consideration after varied intrests are wieghed up and refer back to the original commitee,who will reach a conclusion in the fullness of time.

Beside, The twelve works of Hercules seem to me a sweet joke.

Almost no restaurant in Thailand and 100% of the restaurants on the night markets has toilets and sinks with soap and towel in working condition.

We have no idea whatsoever of the infection rate. A very large portion could be asymptomatic. Only widespread randomized antibody tests would give indication and none seem to be forthcoming.

 

That said, if it is largely asymptomatic and already widespread, there's no point to the lockdowns. The only lockdown needed is that of the nation itself, in case there are deadlier strains elsewhere.

It is possible Thailand got very, very lucky. And it can be verified by random antibody tests. Do it and either shoot the theory down, or confirm it.
