Ummm...trying to keep people from getting infected, over running the hospitals, and dying. Of course they totally blew it with Songkran. That might have worked out OK if it wasn't for hi so's crossing the borders into casinos and bringing the virus back with them to the pubs in Bangkok. Corruption rears it's ugly head here again.

That is clearly a case of passing the buck, oh people dont blame me, it was your governor who did it, pathetic lack of leadership. I think it makes sense. Why issue national orders when every province is different??? But yes, we're in this mess due to lack of leadership. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gatherings, no bars, no late night munchies, so in essence a pseudo curfew. This is supposed to encourage people to reduce their travels and movement during those times. Back to where we were last year for the kids going to school as well, at least until April 30th. Looks like this school break will end up like last years with kids being stuck at home....argh meet me at the 7-11...you bring the plastic chairs--i'll bring the sangsom and snax ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while there is a gullible compliance, they will continue to enforce them. An N95 mask properly worn will block 95%, or more, of the little tiny virus particles from entering your airways. Not a rumour, its the law. N95 masks are certified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a rumour, its the law. N95 masks are certified. But the issue here is that mostly, likely many of the poorer Thais the largest section of the population, can not afford to buy them. 80 baht may not seem much for a genuine N95 mask to us on here but for them it is food for the family for the day so hence the 10 baht surgical ones are the most popular amongst them. Now instead of the government wasting money on their toys and things and instead subsidise the cost of the N95 mask down to a very low level so it was easily affordable to the poor, that would indeed be of great benefit to the nation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seajae Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 my wife left Surat Thani to travel up north(near Saraburi) to go to a farm to pick up some plants yesterday, she stopped at the hotel we usually stay at in Petchaburi last night but was told all the rooms were full due to a bus load of chinese tourists, have to wonder how a bus load of chinese tourists are travelling through Thailand with all the restrictions and the 10/14 day required quarantine as well. Said there were no raod blocks/police stops on the way up, will find out if there are any stops when she gets back to the hotel tonight 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Can anyone explain why convenience stores closing between 11pm and 4am helps to contain the disease? Is there some secret science there? Any why isn't the vaccination drive being fast tracked? It would seem even if the army had to dig into its own enormous coffers, to purchase vaccines at a premium, it would be worth it. And I am not referring to the Sinovac junk vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
