gearbox Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 34 minutes ago, Guderian said: Well that's it, it's over, as in the resistance is finished. The first outbreak was handled successfully by Prayut heeding the advice of the CCSA, in spite of a great deal of criticism. The CCSA supported the new lockdowns, but Prayut has overruled them. And that's after refusing to take the blame for the restrictions, that's all been delegated to the provincial governors, who also won't take any notice of the CCSA's advice because they don't like criticism and being unpopular any more than Mr P does. So the CCSA, the only body here that actually knows how to deal with the virus, has been completely sidelined. Game over, the virus wins hands down. Poor old Thailand, let down in your hour of need by a PM who bottled it. Lockdowns have limited efficiency when the borders are not properly secured. I was surprised that it took that long the virus to jump from Myanmar to Thailand. I think now it's a matter of time for the virus to spread to Laos and Cambodia from Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samut should have been locked down like San Quentin, from day one. That is WHY it spread so quickly. Dumb and dumber. Will this nation ever have qualified leaders and ministers? Or is it doomed to mediocrity, or worse, for all time? Still can’t beat the good ole president of the US. Now there is a piece of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden’s death rate of over 80 per 100,000 people is among Europe’s highest and is around 10 times as great as those of Norway and Finland, and over four times Denmark’s. COVID-19 hospitalizations are now rising faster there than in most European countries, and Sweden is caring for more patients in hospital now than it did at the height of its first wave. By Dec. 21, Sweden had surpassed the United States and all major European countries in its daily confirmed cases per million. Things have gotten so out of control in Sweden that neighboring Norway, for the first time since World War II, put troops on the border to prevent Swedes from crossing over. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger18 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Totally unclear to me whether he's saying that the measures were not approved after all, or that the measures were approved but should not be described as a lockdown. Especially unclear whether people are allowed to travel out of the worst affected provinces. The number of migrant workers who've tested positive is still being counted separately. Does that mean that all those migrant workers are in quarantine or isolated in some other way from the general population? So many question marks it's impossible to tell what's going on.

Thailand is in much better shape and don't be so quick. Your government I believe today, is trying to pass a law to allow them for stricter measures including lockdowns. Sweden and Japan are the poster child's of failure with minimal restrictions and now many cases and deaths. So, enjoy your freedom while you can because I bet it is all coming to an end soon. Sweden’s government hopes to have the power to impose lockdowns from Jan. 10, if a bill submitted on Monday passes parliament. The temporary laws, if enacted, will give authorities the legal clout to shut down businesses and fine those infringing the restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the virus, according to the Minister of Health Lena Hallengren.

tandor Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 3 hours ago, webfact said: No lockdown in Samut Sakhon, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat: PM REUTERS FILE photo for reference only Thailand’s Prime Minister on Tuesday confirmed there is no lockdown in Samut Sakhon, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat. The clarification comes after Deputy Public Health Minister and MP for Rayong province, Satit Pitutacha, posted on Facebook on Monday evening, thanking the PM for approving the proposal to lockdown the aforementioned provinces. However, on Tuesday morning, the PM said no lockdown is in place in the five provinces or anywhere else in Thailand, TNA MCOT reported. This was reiterated by Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin during the daily COVID-19 briefing. Dr Taweesin said that while the provinces were operating at the “highest and intensifying level of control”, no lockdown was in place. Late on Monday, Chonburi governor Phakthorn Thianchai announced a number of provincial restrictions aimed at helping to limit the spread of the virus. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-01-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates ..Excuse me for asking; just how many Official Government spokespersons do you have, and which one do we, for want of a better word 'believe' ?

nervona81732 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 3 hours ago, internationalism said: the PM did another u-turn within several hours. Boris Johnson, known as U-turn Man, does change his mind within days, rather then hours. if the general was running the real military war, his tactic would confuse his opponents and gave him victory. Now, nobody will listen to any official announcements and follow them. Look's like the government is an panicky mode, just random, contradicting decisions. BINGO. He would win over his enemy. It would disorient them to the point of absolute confusion. ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
