People; listen to your betters. Drink the kool-aid, Covid-19 may well kill you all.

Surely you meant to say was 'covid-19 may well kill US all'.

I ate at a restaurant on the beach yesterday, mostly all Thais, no SD, no masks, large groups with 10-20 at a table, no problem.

Well I live in Western Australia nobody ever worn a mask (apart from Asian people) we have no active

cases at all, the only 4 active ones are return travelers. So what does the mask prove? Absolutely

nothing.

[Russel]

That's proves that people wants normality. NORMALITY not the new normality.  This farce has already lasted too long

[phantomfiddler]

There has to be a sizable portion of humanity that just does not like to be under strict control, and that is what we are experiencing now. With the present virus figures next to zero, this has become purely an exercise in taking away our freedoms ????

[Magenta408]

So what? Motorcycles don't get viruses. 

[Polaky]

Bit risky, only takes one person to have it and all of a sudden it baloons.

Think I'll sign up on an Aussie forum and make meaningless comments about TL.

Its no "reported" cases in the country. The broader population hasnt been tested so the virus could still be spreading.

Yes, nobody presenting at hospital is a pretty good indicator that the virus may be under control, but not a definitive indicator that no cases exist.

Not to mention asymptomatic people of which the percentage of those infected has significance.

Ya know, when your watching a movie, and there is a guy wrongly convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, and the evil warden sets him up, and it’s..............30 DAYS IN THE WHOLE!!!!

the guy emerges psychologically scrambled..........

ya get it yet?  ( forced isolation), no communication between friends and neighbors....?
the masks ,the lock up, fear porn.........

absolute power corrupts absolutely.

its all going to end soon. The bad guys have already lost. They know it. They have nothing to loose. They’re all over the world. We will see some bat <deleted> crazy, desperate moves. It doesn’t matter,

Nothing can stop what’s coming. Some say we have very powerful help.

Really grateful to be in the LOS.

What, after 32 days, there could be a clandestine group of asymptomatics who pass it around to others who also become asymptomatic? Pass the virus - the Walking Dread?

Mmmm doubt it - more likely to start again when someone avoids quarantine, then holds a big indoor party.

The Thailand YouTubers seem to be experts in promoting dodgy activities, not complying with guidelines and generally making fools of themselves.  Nothing new.

Yup, clearly you speak of the Thai authorities. The world is watching, I believe they agree with said observations.

According to the majority of bar owners and reports on here, many said they will not be operating until tourists are allowed back. 

The 22 Commandments laid down by the government make it unaffordable/not viable to consider opening. 

 

No doubt to be continued..

i did a quick tour around town today and a lot of bars are

already busy preparing the reopen. Disapointment will come later

if it is like with the reopening of the massages shops some days ago

ending in a lot of girls in front with the nose on their phones all day long

and very very few or no customers at all

More chance of me becoming the next Queen of Thailand, no cases, means no cases! Thai snitches in Pattaya need to get back to work. BK ferries, vans, buses etc are stacked like sardines as in days of yore. Temp guns, Line icon zaping is haphazard. GET OVER IT and be grateful for the hot climate, its my opinion thats what saved us.

And who are they scared of catching it from? With no cases anywhere in the country for a month, there is nobody out there with it, making the continuing paranoia just ludicrous. Glad at least that the cops didn't make fools of themselves by arresting anyone.

Correct

They said the people congregating seemed to have no care about getting Covid-19.

A few weeks ago, when Thailand had no new domestic Covid-19 cases regsitered for 13 days, the authorities said that after 28 days with no new domestic cases, the nation could be declared free of Covid-19. Now it's 32 days with no domestic cases, so who carries the virus now...????

[ray666]

Enjoy, you only live once. I thinks there is no Covid 19 in Thailand. It`s all about control of people, and away for you know who to cash in again.

Thank God the Thai people havent been cynical like you but positive and united. We all know what is happening right now with countries with cynical citizens like you.....rising numbers of covid cases staggering numbers. 

Oh well, Darwin will weed out the dumber elements of society...

 

Lastly, thats a bit odd, because how can the you know whoes cash in from a shutdown economy with closed bars and closed borders? IF "they" only care about "cashing in" , "they" would not shutdown the country, now would they.

Banglamung Hospital and I am sure many others, have started discharging patients to clear up their ICU's and hospital beds. They are clearing the decks for something on the order of the government.

 

        Take a tip from the UK , professionals.

         Transfer them to rest homes, for a few days .

          Thousands of gbp , saved on pension payouts .

And why shouldn't they??? It's not normal for social animals to be isolated and locked in and shut down. It's been abnormal for months now. It's like being in prison or a zoo. ???? Vulnerable, frightened and risk folks should take precautions and self-isolate. For the VAST majority, time to break free and get back to normal. NO "new normal" ????

This is just one more posting against regulations. I have been living here in Thailand for very many years and I am grateful for what this government did. You might understand it if Corona is still around here. It will be no fun to walk with a N95 mask everywhere. For some the new normal seems to be to ignore all precautions. A dangerous strategy from an egoistic minority.

And what if some of the "VAST majority" get infected and get into contact in a supermarket, for example, with some of the "vulnerable, frightened and risk folks?"

 

Should such folks deserve to be killed by the "VAST majority?"

 

Do you not see the moral dilemma?  

 

What if one of your friends or family were one of the "vulnerable, frightened and risk folks" and was infected and died?  To put it bluntly, would you go to bars and nightclubs around Pattaya and then go and visit your elderly mother or father a week later?  I didn't think so. 

 

What makes you think Thai staff even want to work in such places, and contract, and then infected, their family and friends?

It's not a death sentence out there. Driving a motor vehicle, tobacco, unhealthy diet, preventable cardiovascular disease WAY more dangerous than CV19 the world over...yet none of you frightened scare mongering "existers" give other really real life dangers a second thought. Enjoy existing in your prison. I choose free living.
