Chinese New Year Celebration in China Town Cancelled

 

 

BANGKOK, Feb 4 (TNA) – Bangkok city hall has cancelled this year Chinese New Year celebration in Yaowarat or Bangkok’s China Town to prevent Covid-19 transmission.

 

The festival is normally held annually by Samphantawong district office and local businesspeople.

 

However, as the Covid-19 outbreak has not yet subsided and could pose risk to the public’s safety, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration decided to call it off.

Rather a shame China went ahead with their own New Years celebration last year and then went on to infect the planet.

A shame Thailand didn't react to the infection a year ago but decided to let it go ahead and reap the rewards.

However that backfired and cost them billions ever since.

Finally, some common sense. Since December 15, Bangkok infections are up 3.14% with no proactive testing, all based on hospital walk-ins.

 

Shut down Chinese New Year travel. Let's NOT share the joy!

Horray. Now if we can just convince the Thais to cancel their celebrations we will have achieved the impossible!

Let's adopt cancel culture and just cancel China.
