ThailandRyan Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 My condo pool has reopened as of yesterday. Parks and gyms still closed, go figure, but I do understand the need for Malls to stay open during this heat we are having in Bangkok. People living in those 25 SqM boxes need to have free aircon instead of paying to run theirs and then they can have free WiFi in some places.......God forbid they shut the malls.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testing a sealed area isn't going to give you much actionable data. I doubt the under reporting today is significantly different from six months ago.

I doubt the under reporting today is significantly different from six months ago. Considering the only sealed area was in Samut Sakhon 6 months ago and now we have multiple bubble and seals throughout Bangkok your statement does not exactly fit in with the current situation . Added to that the new policy of advising people to stay at home even if they think they have the virus so long as they're not showing symptoms. Sending high risk people home as happened yesterday at the mamma noodle factory to isolate at home. Further evidence of lack of testing now would be the hospital walk ins. 6 months ago they were always outnumbered by the pro active testing going on bar a few days here and there, the opposite is true now in this 3rd wave.

They seal all of the employees in regardless if they are infected or not, thousands of them. Try again with no actionable data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are not going to the hospital even though they may have only minor symptoms. By going to a hospital these, many times, migrant workers, can not afford to take care of their families if they are locked in a hospital or a quarantine facility. People have to understand that for many a livelihood is the most important thing to these people and there is no government handout for them as they do not qualify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Thai Cabinet does not give final approval to Phuket Sandbox yet, asks for relevant agencies to make some improvements The Thai Cabinet met this afternoon and among other issues, like the hiring of special government employees and financial aid measures for small businesses affected by Covid-19, the Cabinet briefly discussed the Phuket Sandbox program. The Phuket Sandbox is a program that is proposed to allow vaccinated foreign tourists to enter without quarantine from July first and had already been approved in principle by the Center for Economic Situation Administration, or CESA. According to Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan O’Cha, who posted on his social media accounts around 7:00 P.M., the Thai Cabinet will inform relevant agencies, like the Tourism Ministry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to make “improvements” that guarantee a good balance of economic recovery and safety. The program is not canceled or officially postponed at this point, only that the Cabinet will return to the matter in the very near future and is not officially “rubber-stamped” yet to go to the Royal Gazette. https://thepattayanews.com/2021/06/08/thai-cabinet-does-not-give-final-approval-to-phuket-sandbox-yet-asks-for-relevant-agencies-to-make-some-improvements/ Edited June 8, 2021 by anchadian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people to come in July, many would have had to already request the time off from work, make the plans, jump through the hoops, and are now sitting and waiting for the other show to drop. Like always they wait until the day before a plan is to start to approve it or even cancel it..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know a small handful of people who plan to travel from UAE and stay for a month. They are fortunate enough to be able to work remotely, or have retired and just wanted to get away. If additional hoops or tough restrictions are introduced, then Phuket will lose that handfull as there are now 19 countries where vaccinated UAE residents can travel to without having to quarantine (Spain, France, Greece, Cyprus etc). Let's see if they manage to shoot that foot again..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Just an update from worldometer on the coronavirus deaths, On June 9 2021 USA 612,203, Brazil, 477,301. That is over 1 million people in just 2 countries. And the pandemic is still going on, just think of it, Africa is still waiting for vaccines, and likely lots of South America as well.
