NoshowJones Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 16 hours ago, scammed said: "We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus." This statement from Dr David Nabarro https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-12/world-health-organization-coronavirus-lockdown-advice/12753688 I wonder how many posters have actually read this link. It is the most interesting thing globally about this pandemic that I have read, especially coming from the WHO. It is about time the whole world acted on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if the same as the previous lockdown, communal pools (condos/moo bahns) are classed as public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant travel from jomtien to pattaya alone at night, 2-3 gentlemen's clubs in Jomtien are also on the restricted travel list No worries, all gentlemens clubs are closed. Due to the closure of most businesses I now have no reason to travel outside my local area. During the last lockdown, being in a vulnerable group, I self isolated for 2 months. Easy for me as there's nowhere for me to visit and my wife can do all the shopping. As there have been warnings issued for people who have visited several establishments on Soi Neurn Plub Wan, my local high street, I'll probably self isolate again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the most interesting thing globally about this pandemic that I have read, especially coming from the WHO. It is about time the whole world acted on it. If you read the whole article, and don't just cherry pick single sentences out of context, you will see that WHO advocates trying other methods before going into lockdown. Thailand has done that, and had a good 6 months, but now are in a state that requires lockdown. This is consistent with the WHO message. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant. My moo bahn has a 24 guard on the gate and bluetooth access but the pool is closed. Rules is rules. I really don't understand people who try to argue with the rules, particularly in Thailand, it never gets you anywhere. Just deal with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trujillo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 "...in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19." If this is the objective, then it will not only fail, but we will never get tourism back. This would be like trying to stop the spread of the flu. It's not an attainable goal. This is a virus, not a flock of chickens. You can't "pen up" a virus; it will spread no matter what you do. It would amazing to see Thailand get out of lockstep with the rest of the world and think for themselves on this....oh look! A flying pig!.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
