Lockdown on 7-11s from 2200 to 0500, leaving them OPEN ALL DAY LONG is in contention for the most ridiculous order of the whole lockdown fiasco! 

Not at all. It allows 7/11s continue providing there excellent, vital service but limits times of social contact.

Unnecessary.  Instantly locked down.  Insane for how small the numbers are.  Insane even if numbers large. 

 if death rate large I'd agree.  but .004 of people die from covid, even with them juicing the numbers. 

That means .996 of all people who get it survive.  That survival number is actually even higher as 85% of people never get even one symptom so you have no idea of the millions of people running around with it who are FULLY HEALTHY except with a stigma of being 'infected.'

Think I may go spend a few weeks somewhee where I can remain healthy and fit (so I don't fall in that .004 catagory)

 

 

The US has 330,000,000 people. Even .004 is 1,320,000.

 

Thailand has 70,000,000 people. .004 of them dying would be 280,000

 

You're good with that?

 

Seems cold.

That percentage is wrong.  And as all countries say, the numbers are under reported. 

This will be a death sentence for many shops and companies who survived the first lock down. I assume that no help from the military government is to be expected for all those affected by this.

Public swimming pools and gyms must also close, as must public parks and outdoor exercise areas. 

 

Sigh.   I can kind of understand the measures to close things where people gather indoors, but how many people in the entire world have caught this thing in the great outdoors?   I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say none.    

Lots of posters saying no covid because they fudged the number's. I guess they went the other way just to make themselves look bad. ????

Any idea why phone shops should remail open as not necessary ?

Take a Thai girls phone away then see how necessary they are lol ????

And they need to stop all outbund persons  leaving these provinces, but they won't.

Don't they know that this is spreading quicker by allowing any inter provincial travel

Close it down, means close it down

Maybe all those farang idiots I see regularly in Big C, walking around without a mask over their faces, will start to conform.   Sticking it under your chin doesn't count. 

Right, so it was the Big C farangs who caused this outbreak ? They went to Samut Sakhon market to buy prawns, and then went gambling in Rayong ? 
 

I guess I’m going to stay away from Big C, don’t want to be tarred with the same brush as this lot !

What was open before was the same that was opened during the last lock down. Some bank branches might be closed because the banks decide this. Kasikornbank even sent me an SMS that the branch is open. Banks are allowed to be open. Will go there tomorrow. The Central Mall reacted very quickly and closed everything what is not allowed. Will check tomorrow if phone shops are open and Power Buy - need something from there.

I think they want to control the people that move around there and this is easier if only elevators are working. I hate the elevators because this is a high risk area. If one person with Covid sneezes inside... 

Are they saying how long for?

also maybe on the escalators you have the habit to hold the rubber band supports .... risk of contagion

I was stuck in the country of Georgia back in March/April and the F'ing cell phoe stores closed. I was in a real pickle . With out Skype I would not have been able to get out and back here.

but seeing the number of phone shops always full

of thai customers i guess there is some demand

Yes, my moderately elderly phone suffered a fatal heart attack recently brought about by an unscheduled 2 meter fall to a hard floor. Had to replace it the next day. Had that happened now I’d be glad to know the shops were open.

I was getting my massage thinking better before it gets bad,  during the massage she excuse herself I gave her a look ( what about my happy ending ) as she walk out the door?????

Has anybody bothered to factor in the percentage of the population we’re talking about here and the severity of these cases.? The collateral damage these blanket closings cause is enormous. Social, economic and mental health of the population is far worse than the Covid infection itself.

It is a Bank Holiday tomorrow - small branches in Tesco / Big C will probably be open.
