Decisions on further "lockdown measures" to be made on Wednesday - Bangkok awaits

[webfact]

 

Thai media One31 spoke to national Security Council secretary general Natthapon Nakphanich before the meeting of the small committee of the CCSA Covid response committee yesterday.

 

Gen Natthapon  said they would be discussing a ministry of health proposal to increase quarantine for people from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to 21 days and views would be taken forward to the CCSA big committee tomorrow.

 

Asked if more stringent lockdown measures would be introduced in more places like in Nonthaburi the general said he preferred the word "co-operation" to "force" when it came to the powers of provincial governors to impose greater measures.

 

But he refused to rule out  a version of lockdown when pressed about what might happen in Bangkok in the coming days.

No we don't want a lock down. Let the province decide if they do a lock down.. We are not responsible than and nobody will blame us... Good that we don't have/take responsibility

Just make sure that the small committee has been given all relevant information from the even smaller committee who were given the relevant information from the miniscule committee before they go to the big committee tomorrow who will then pass it on to the huge committee for a decision to be made by the giant committee. ????

Beggars the question when the decision is finally made will they all be fully committed to the implementation of the proposals....????

I can’t see that a lockdown with curfews can be avoided now. 

 

Measures (masks in cars) are getting silly....   everything closing at 9pm.

 

Curfew is the inevitable next step. 

 

Almost every poster on this forum was correct when they commented that there will be an explosion of cases after Songkran. The only surprise is that a full lockdown has not already been instigated.

I may be simplistic after all I am Canadian BUT why did we not go to the same measures that we did when the first wave hit.  It seemed to work we kept the numbers and death toll low.

 

Too me that makes the most sense.

Why on earth would you say Thaskin? Nope.. Try again, but the Junta has taken great lengths to silence them who were very widely popular with the new generation of Thai tired of the ole BS.

 Because he was the last civilian Prime Minister with a lot of public support (I discount Yingluck!).  I wonder how he would have handled this crisis.  Obviously now, it would be someone like Thanathorn from FF.  If only!

Yes, you are correct. But his solution is diluting his competitors.

Yep, Thanathorn would have a huge breathe of fresh air.

They are in fact fighting an internal war. Them and the self entitled elite against the rest of Thailand who want changes and oppose everything about them and what they stand for. The people are just sick of them and it.

The establishment were scared of him and frightened he would have had overwhelming support. Those above were frightened that their corrupt and depraved ways of living whistling "raping" the country for their own personal wealth and enjoyment would end.  They were right of course and Thanathorn is lucky he has not had a trip in barrel in the Mekong as others have had. It will happen one day of course, but when ?

Well, if more restrictions are introduced, I'm definitely on my way back to Europe, just as things are starting to open up again there.

 

Get vaccinated, enjoy the European summer, and return to Thailand in the autumn.

[fondue zoo]

Bring on a new amnesty for foreigners in the country.... okay, they're not going to do that. although I am curious about what the infection rate was when they announced the first amnesty.

[natway09]

Hang on ??   Did they not just ban all non Thais from India, Bangladesh & Pakistan?

If so, why bother talking about a longer quarantine ?

Oh, sorry, I see some have $$$$$$$

why do it today if you can do it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes  

[CLW]

Too much money involved that's why the malls are still open but almost anything else must close. Even public parks which is ridiculous.

And if there won't be school holidays anyway, schools would also be closed.

Money talks in Thailand, sad but true....

[paulikens]

further lockdown measures.... it will be something to do with alcohol.  the fun police will be at it again
