Up to the provincial governors?

Not if the PM bans transportation of alcohol like he did prior, effectively forcing the hand of provincial governors to implement a ban as it would run out anyways

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. LOL

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?  Try websites of both TheNation and PattayNews - unless they are all pat of the conspiracy to misinform.

With restricted movement and thus less transmission, entirely likely that incidence of flu (and thus deaths from it)  would be lower than normal.  Not entirely sure what that has to do with covid though.

Sorry I thought you were more knowledgeable, you need to do some more research if you consider that the reporting is accurate

you are missing it - here is a clue about the Thai way - how many care homes are there in Thailand - then when you've answered that ask yourself why, there is a misconception that Thailand is like a western country were we generally look after our elderly and sick

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.

You have lost me.  Is the reporting accurate, or not?  If not, what are the true figures?

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.

Up here in the Isaan sticks, C-19 is done and dusted. No restrictions on anything. Moving about, drinking, working and living as before.

 

TBH, C-19 was a non-starter here. A big fuss over nothing. Just spoilt the water party.

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. Stop buying anything made in China (*∆°)

" As daft as second hand Ars%^$&%S "  !  Would of been easier just to of had everyones mobile network send them a daily chit for four cans or a bottle at the 7/11, show the assistant, confirm it and Roberts your fathers brother.......  They've already got your passport details when you obtained your number and the bubble is they'll be able to see who's in the country, where they are, and who's on the lash..... Keep everyone happy..... But oh no, that feeling of power's taking over, keep em in, and keep em miserable.......   But hey, when they get out, get on your toes.....  Unbelievable......

there is a way to address that, like I said before - it's like like closing all the roads to improve road safety, you only remove peoples freedoms for so long and it has to make sense otherwise discontent will rise and stronger measures are needed and before you blink you have N Korea\China measures of control

This virus transcends Communist leaders, mad despots and lunatic presidents , and common sense happens to be the rarest commodity on earth. Thais will congregate to party if booze is flowing. It’s not all about us expats.

Interesting discussions on Aussie TV how the world has totally overreacted to Covid19 but politicians don't have the guts to admit their mistake. Turns out the costs of suppressing the flu far outweigh the benefits.

Oh really. I haven't heard anyone say that. You are making this up or misinterpreting what you heard. 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?? That's a rather callous view and not appreciated by the thousands of relatives that have lost loved ones.
