Emdog Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Huh. I wonder how many Burmese immigrants study there? I'd like to see the contact tracing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazbodner Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 They aren't allowed to leave their homes. I am waiting for TVF human rights warriors to come out in force and slam the authorities for having the nerve to lock young people in, threatening to report them to Amnesty International and call on UN to put sanctions on Thailand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a long wait mate. No human rights abuses here, just a sensible time limited lockdown measures with those who are locked in residing in their Uni apartments and condos, restaurants and all comfortable facilities on site, lectures online, comfortable recreation areas. The total opposite to migrant workers being locked in with infected and uninfected to achieve herd immunity as the goal. Men women and children. No end date as yet.

Cake Monster Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This will really hurt the Authorities, as Chula is seen as some kind of bastion of everything Thai. To have this Virus on Campus , and with the Uni doing its own Research and trials into a Vaccine is also bad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live face masks since a vaccine is still months away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what locking up the Burmese migrants to infect themselves in the factories can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
