Prayut is the pm; he should have put measures in place before lifting the booze ban. 

 

As for the C19 not causing any deaths, but from other pathologies. It is a contributing factor.

 

There is a long thread on here somewhere about it.

 

 

Another lame excuse by the Lords & Masters using the social distancing BS yet again to stop alcohol sales. If Prayut is worried about social distancing then the same logic should be applied to the Skytrain/MRT as they are the worst example of neglected social distancing, packed in like sardines.

Last month there were limitations on how many cartons of eggs you can buy in Makro and today its alcohol. Next month its limitations on how many people can go shopping in a mall. Cant wait for the following months rules.

It’s amazing how important a man’s booz is compared to the health and safety of their family and friends. 

Alcohol dependence is pretty sad.

Well I for one am happy he did it as the number of cases is far less than Singapore for example and this country is way bigger. Thanks to him, Thailand seems to be in good shape. 

North Korea has zero confirmed cases , you believe that as well ?

Some bushiness heavily rely on operational staff to keep the cogs turning. So some people still need to get to work. 

You really can't compare that with a few people wanting to have a drink.

So now he's threatening to ban it again. Yeah, that's sure to stop people buying in bulk ????.

 

Ban for 10 days.

Extend to 20 days.

Allow rumours that there will be a 2 day window to bulk buy.

Ban for a further month.

Remove the ban altogether.

Threaten another ban. 

Blame the public.

 

What a joke.

 

Well said.

What a very stupid little man.

i'd be very surprised if the ban isn't reinforced today, with announcements this afternoon

 

if they ban it any other day people will go and panic buy and cause more chaos

It's obvious it exists, any doctor saying contrary is a quack.

How deathly and transmissible it is remains to be seen

exactly, I just wish despots, crackpots, and lunatics spewing nonsense remained NOT to be seen or heard from..

How about some degree of sensibility, the government restrict the time to purchase alcohol then stop people from purchasing said alcohol for several weeks then re-open sales but the time line for purchases remains the same of course this will in itself create crowds it's called human nature therefore the people to blame are the government for not thinking this through in the first place.......!!!!

Of course the narrow minded would blame the government, that is what they do.

The retailers are responsible for the sales and they should have taken steps to follow the governments ruling on social distancing, as well as the customers.

if the retailers are incapable of implementing government policy then the government has every right to ban or restrict the sale of problematic goods.

Many doctors and virologists are now saying it has yet to be confirmed that there is such a thing as 'Covid-19 Virus'

How many??

Probably  if they have a slightest suspicion they shoot them

Were the words substituted to another words in translation or the government is really threatening public? 

Sounds like people for the government, by the government, of the government.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha announced on Tuesday (May 5) that both the public and private sectors should strictly apply social-distancing measures once the lockdown is lifted or restrictions will be applied again.

Please do.  It's rather fascinating to watch these fools destroy their countries and impoverish their citizens.  It will be interesting to watch what happens when the plebs get really desperate.

Apologies for selecting this statement, but it needs amplifying as to its value. Thai populous behaviour is that booze and social gatherings of family and friends are part of their everyday lifestyle. Without booze and less social gatherings there is less risk of becoming contaminated. That is the essence of the rationale behind the ban.

 

And as this is Thailand, the foreigners who only want to home drink with immediate family, should thank their lucky stars that their other halves are unlikely to bring home the infection if the curfew, alcohol ban and social distancing is observed by the majority of the population.

Seems your tinfoil hat needs replacing.. Unfortunately none available until the malls open. Could you name a few of those many doctors and viralogists for us without the special hats? Thanks

He needs to ensure its snug around his face and mouth so he can not transmit any further non-sensical foolish beliefs, that he has had transmitted into his back teeth by the government.  Covid statistics and the outcome is real, but the statistics are skewed by at least the governmental bean counters here in MOPH

If he hadn't laid down these draconian laws in the first place then there wouldn't have been a problem

Also the more you restrict timewise, the more bottlenecks you create

Obtuseness personified

At first when this all begun I was gutted I was back in UK visiting family. Now I’m glad, I do not believe one utterance about this pandemic from Prayut, he’s  just a PRC mouth piece . I’m at the least sure the UK is not chatting bull about deaths, infections etc.  Stay safe everyone ????

Believe me when I say the UK are bull<deleted>ing you about numbers!!!

I don't know about NK hospitals but my niece is a junior doctor at a large hospital in the centre of Bangkok and she said they about 7 cases in patients and a few in staff. Her friend got it and recovered quite quickly, her contacts were all immediately quarantined for 2 weeks.

I went to my hospital last week, they had no cases and all was working as normal with social distancing.

Of course you are free to believe anything you want, fortunately it doesn't make it fact.

That's it, I'm off to panic buy as much beer as I can!!!! ????????

Maybe these virologists and doctors could identify exactly what other pathologies are causing extreme global deaths, instead of scaremongering and mouthing off by Sgarbi. 

Exactly. It is widely accepted that in many cases the actual cause of death is not from the virus but the presence of the virus. The body being incapable of fighting the virus and the underlying condition at the same time.

Deaths are generally referred to as being covid-19 related.

I fully support your statement. 
While some TV members are loosing their minds over an alcohol ban, at the same time many people are being protected and facing a lower risk of being infected.

“The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”

– Wise Person of Observational Logical Reasoning  

Recipe for: Disaster 

 

Mix equal parts megalomania, stupidity, and real-world issues.

 

1) Add in a public health crisis of unknown proportion (but choose one that is probably potentially quite disastrous...note: you can gauge this by reports from countries with up-to-date and public health data),

 

2) Totally hide your country's actual impact of the crisis,

 

3) Steer the news organs into a pattern of non-stop reporting on the crisis,

 

4) Report just a little bit to the public to justify sweeping public policies,

 

5) Keep the goal at an unattainable number, say zero cases per day,

 

Repeat steps 2-5 as desired until everyone dies, the economy completely collapses, there is a populist revolution, or your country becomes a territory claimed as part of mainland China.

People accepted teh first ban as it had some solid logic.  Another, since it has no helpful logic behind it, may cause civil unrest and large group protests.  

It would backfire from the consequences of losing public face of having a nation ban against you.  Only so many liberties you can take away at once before the masses (who are typically controlled via things like this) become unrestful with so little else to do and their livelihoods evaporating.
