Management and staff hospitalalised. Because of their closed, poorly ventilated design it was inevitable. Two new ones have opened but I think its only a matter of time before anti vax anti mask super spreaders close them.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Walking St agogos start opening up like they did a few months ago. Mister Egg in one of his recent videos said the licencing problem was exaggerated and only applies to a couple of places. Time will tell but conspiracy theories about the businesses on the sea side being illegal have been around for years The claustrophobic, investigated nature of GO Gos means they can never open again really. The covid disease will become rife among the staff and dancers. It's already spreading round the bars. Covid is not going away.

It's only entitled privileged white men who are anti mask, anti vax covid deniers here in Pattaya.

If they let it rage though the city, uncontrolled, they haven't got the hospital beds and ICU beds for even the small percentage that still get very sick from the disease, despite being vaccinated. With Christmas and NYE festivities, the numbers will be huge 2 to 3 weeks from now. Edited December 31, 2021 by Leaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is not obese or over 60 has nothing to fear from this milder strain of Covid, especially not if they have received the vaccines. What they do have to fear is poverty. You say it is a difficult choice for them but where is their choice in this?

You have a choice not to frequent the bar etc if you are scared, but where is their choice if it is closed down? The bars that closed down recently were riddled with covid mainly sick staff. They were not closed down as part of a general lockdown. My take is that as more and more staff get sick with covid there will be insufficient staff willing to take the risk. Your assertions that covid is not serious and only dangerous to old people/obese is trite, silly and innacurate and based on views once commonly held but no longer as it appears the more we learn about covid a lot of the original assumptions about covid were not entirely true. You omit other pre conditions from cancer to diabetes and many more. But anyway plenty of young fit people are having dreadful, painful frightening experiences with Covid and its not up to FB and You tube experts to dismiss their experience casually. The fact that some people get mild symptons is irrelevant I'm afraid. Gun shot wounds and car crashes don't always kill people but we seek to avoid them. I do not want bars to shut but they will and if the government shuts them down I think people will understand why this time round. I think your real point is that the government should do more to ameliorate the hardship caused by bar closures Edited December 31, 2021 by The Hammer2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICUs do not get filled with people with mild symptoms. number of omicron cases detected daily in the UK now almost 200k, number of those in hospital infected with omicro 800ish (unclear if omicron is why they are there), deaths of people with omicron 50ish (unclear if omicron caused death or they just had it) what is very clear is that infection detection rates are rising fast in the UK other key data rates are not, very complex issues at play and will take a couple of weeks to nail it down and reach conclusions about omicron but so far it is looking good SA being several weeks ahead is a good place to look at data people should not drop their guard just yet and maintain caution but what I have seen in Pattaya these last 10 days is quite disturbing - packed venues - no rules being followed - closures due to infections, they only have themselves to blame if locked down again, and for those that came here for a 3-4 week holiday good luck with your PCR test before you are allowed to leave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
