Did I miss the start of civil war?

Curfew since weeks.

Which countries have such measure and what is their Covid19 status?

I don't get your point.

Half a dozen folks in and out way after 10 in my condo building last few nights. See same amount of locals on Srisoonthorn road too way past the curfew time.

They broke the curfew... nuff said.

What did they expect in that lawless cesspit. The RTP enforces a law, the people aren't use to that.
