Popular Post webfact Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 It may take two more months to bring the current COVID-19 wave under control, according to Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and Public Health Ministry. A CCSA meeting today (Friday) resolved to propose, to the cabinet, another extension of the State of Emergency, until the end of July, citing the Public Health Ministry’s estimation that another two months will be needed to bring the pandemic under control. The nationwide State of Emergency, in place since March 2020, was due to expire at the end of May. The government can only invoke an Emergency Decree for up to 3 months at a time, hence the repeated extensions. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/state-of-emergency-to-be-extended-for-two-more-months-to-control-covid-19/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2021-05-21 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 The Emergency Decree is simply the "authority" the regime bestowed upon itself, which allows it to do whatver it wants. A bit like the pardon they granted themselves AFTER the coup, but this absolves them of any judicial oversight - like there would ever be any - for things they do going foward "battle COVID". What are the powers of the officers? To arrest any suspected individual/entity that is believed to cause emergency situation; To summon any suspected individual; To seize any weapons, goods, chemical substances or any related objects that are believed to cause emergency situation; To search, disassemble, remove or destroy any buildings, structures or barriers for enforcement purposes; To censor, suppress or suspense any media that is found to disrupt public order; To order the cease, order or suppress of any actions that are found to disrupt public order; To debar any individuals from leaving Thailand; To evict alien citizen that is believed to cause emergency situation from Thailand; To place restrictions on sale of arms, weapons, chemical substance or any other materials that may provoke unrests; To allow military personnel to assist with the enforcement of EPAES. The Commincable Disease Act of 2015 also gives them the "authority" to do whatever they so choose. https://ddc.moph.go.th/uploads/ckeditor/c74d97b01eae257e44aa9d5bade97baf/files/001_2gcd.pdf 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post patman30 Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 they must keep extending the "state of emergency" as the jabs only have emrgency use approval so no state of emergency equals no jabs administered question is: after a whole year, at this point, is it really an emergency ?????♂️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it will definitely end being an emergency but it's going to take another year or two - until everyone is vaccinated. Governments of the world want profits and prosperity, if not for the people then for themselves which by its very nature needs to include the people - or you end up like North Korea - a dump. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a never ending supply of justifications sitting in a file on Dear Leader's desk and it will be used well beyond any medically motivated need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
