Why would you wear a helmet in a bar/ restaurant?

That's taking the PPE thing a bit far.

Clearly laws need to be followed no matter how idiotic they are !

Just like the economy needs to be ruined no matter how many people will suffer !

 

Now as a matter of fact idiotic laws come from idiotic lawmakers for idiots to follow !

And there are many idiots who actually love to see completely idiotic laws being enforced by idiots

so that the idiots can feel like good law abiding people ... and not as idiots.

 

The only thing missing is any evidence of a Pandemic or any scientific evidence that any of the

measures actually work. According to the WHO they don't !

 

But idiots also believe that 3000 Corona Cases [Government number] for more than 1000 hospitals in Thailand

brings down the health system and nurses and doctors are working at their limits ... with 3 cases per hospital !!!

 

... not sure if it can get any worse in case of Idiocracy !!!

[Oldie]

So - idiotic

So - idiotic laws don't need to be followed? Who decides if a law is idiotic - everybody for himself? I think then we can forget laws.

My daughter is working in ICU in the UK. Her life is in danger every time she goes to work. The more patients on the ward, the bigger the danger.

 

The biggest threat to her life are the moronic idiots who insist that Covid-19 is nothing more than flu and act in a completely selfish manner by ignoring the regulatons, spreading the virus and prolonging the lockdown.

[Solinvictus]

I know this is cliche to say but seeing how there seems to be ongoing 'inconviences' for foriegners trying to enjoy their trip and 'pasttime' not to mention come to spend, I can see how many folks will begin to form more a negative view about here.

Funny, how many of the same people who 'ignore' regulations are often the same people who either voted or supported politics that lead to healthcare being so unprepared as it is now. Not to mention, stubborn, IMO. Both in the UK and States.

actually if it's a business registered as a bar then they were breaking the laws from the start as bars are not allowed to open as yet, restaurants are but bars are not, secondly they were selling alcohol which is forbidden anyway ....  so the french man is in deep sh_it 

"selling alcohol which is forbidden anyway " update pls.

Any places open legally at the moment cannot sell alcohol for consumption on the premises.

I've never owned/worn a suit in my life and I would never patronize any type of business establishment that had a dress code. "Dressed up", to me, is jeans with no holes and a shirt with buttons. What I'm alluding to is the lack of class and dignity. It all looks so...scummy.

I will try and explain it to you. The government do have less cases to contend with then other countries so I believe they should start to relax the restrictions now whilst still ensuring some precautions. However the reason why they are doing it is not to tackle the current situation, it is to try and avoid and big outbreak that is not a joke. This may be hard for you to understand as you seem to be on the side of denial regarding the existence of the pandemic. As for you claiming the WHO don't think it exists or that the lockdown will do nothing that is total nonsense. The virus is rampant throughout the world, it is too late to stop that, however we can suppress it to try and slow the spread and keep the health systems from falling over and therefore saving lives. When this is all over sometime in the (hopefully) not too distant future there will be countless studies conducted on this global crisis, I wonder how many of the idiotic people who denied it's severity or even very existence will still be around spouting their rubbish... 

[PEE TEE]

looks like a bar in fisherman's village bophut.  So no probs very rich area police will be happy  

[AmericanSafety]

Because alcohol sales are known to spread the C19 virus. I swear, it is difficult dealing with the idiots from the general public who blindly say "Obey" and the facists who blindly follow orders thinking somehow what they are doing is actually lawful.

As I said those attitudes are long gone, you refer to ripped jeans and t shirts as innapropriate dress code for a beach bar in Thailand but actually it is perfectly acceptable, it's called dressing down. Oh and like it or not ripped jeans are fashionable nowadays. Why you think someone dressing down lacks dignity tells me you either don't understand the word or you are horribly snobbish.. ????????

[animatic]

Just because you don’t understand or agree with the reasonings behind laws and emergency regulations doesn’t give you license to ignore them with impunity.
