Kru Baa Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 What is the point of a night curfew only? Right now at temple by my place they are having a big ol shindig. There are probably couple of hundred people down there sitting two inches from each other. I though there weren't supposed to be any social gatherings. But I can't buy a <deleted> beer.

Governors are free to impose more strict measures than the national level. They cannot impose lesser. Not entirely sure why you want someone else to explain If you disbelieve me, why would you belive someone else?

Not entirely sure what that has to do with covid though.

Thank You.. I have not seen any official announcement at all. A Thai health body (not entirely sure title or funcction) has recommended a two day window whare alcohol sales should be permitted. All we know so far is that Governors (apart from Lampung) have not yet made an announcement. PH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoojamTheKind Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 5 hours ago, Saint Nick said: Accidents are NOT contagious, there are cures and vaccines for the flu! HOW MANY TIMES ??? Such an inane argument. Fact is that disease epidemics ALWAYS peak then decline after herd immunity is achieved. Car accident kill people of ALL AGES but covid overwhelmingly has killed the very old who overwhelmingly had pre-existing conditions. Car fatalities go on and on with no prospect of an end and will assuredly kill far more people in a year than have died of covid in the whole of Asia. Your argument is weak and pointless. Give it up!

Not in UK according to ONS figures. Graphs of deaths for under 65 are very similar to those for over 65. How many of both groups had pre-existng conditions I do not know, but it is likely that will feature heavily in both groups. PH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloquent pilgrim Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Easy to be critical of any government at the moment, but the huge problem with a pandemic is, that if you are successful in controlling and suppressing it, everything you did will appear to have been an overreaction; however, if you are unsuccessful, everything you did will seem insufficient. This is a new virus, and consequently the World has no historic data for reference. This creates a dilemma for all governments. The key question is, do you err on the side of caution, risking further damage to the economy if you are wrong, or do you you err on the side of enterprise, risking people’s health and lives if you are wrong. IMO, Wherever you are in the World, you should support the government there that is trying its best to deal with this virus that was unleashed upon an unsuspecting World, and reserve all criticism for the Chinese Communist Party, who are entirely responsible for the creation of this virus, the suppression of information about it, and the consequential spread of it Worldwide.

Your quote "Turns out the costs of suppressing the flu far outweigh the benefits" Are you kidding ??? covid-19 is NOT the flu !! and the costs outweigh the benefits??
