How about we just define Bangkok and one big cluster, with varied degree of infection?

Because Bangkok holds 15% of Thailand's population, it has 50 districts and it helps people know where the ‘clusters’ are so they can deliberately avoid those areas. 

 

I can avoid Tesco’s Rama IV and instead go to Tesco’s because of the Khlong Toey outbreak and instead choose to go to a different Tesco’s.....

The Authorities just need to lock down the whole City and use more Testing Kits.

Its no use waiting until the Vaccines arrive, they are just too late, not JIT.

That won't happen.  Seems like relaxation of the restrictions is more likely.  Fingers crossed.

How strange.  Two days ago there were 12 major clusters....

Maybe 4 of those 12 are no longer active clusters?

Yup, I am very happy not to be in Bangkok at this time. My Thai family are all worried that

they will likely get COVID before they get their jab.  I wish them all luck, and hope they will be lucky

enuff to get both jabs and have at least another month before finding someone who is a carrier.

  Good Luck Thailand

Geezer

Common sense should tell you that any densely populated areas are going to explode if even one infected person gets in... slums & prisons tell you no common sense exists.
