bdenner Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Quote 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.

Popular Post ourmanflint Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Is anyone really surprised by this news? I suppose Thailand will stumble on with minimal testing to mask the spread of this variant much like it did with the Kent one. I'm guessing the new "magic" acceptable number will be around 3500 per day for a very long time 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ExpatOilWorker Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Now that we have found the needle in the haystack, we can conclude that the authorities are good at finding needles or there are a lot of needle in the haystack.

Popular Post Kasset Tak Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Construction workers... read Burmese and Cambodian workers! I mean, the new variant didn't get to Thailand on 2 legs and these workers are most likely not subjected to 14 days quarantine when they cross the border... In the end it all comes down to the greed of the construction companies! 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
