You realize these things aren't mutually exclusive, right? Just because bars etc are shut down, that doesn't mean there's not going to be any spread of a highly contagious virus. The point is that when people are in bars, they're in poorly ventilated and confined quarters without masks for a while, while usually speaking louder (if not yelling) and laughing, while engaging in more contagious behavior as the drinks go down (whether it's singing, fighting, or whatever else). Yes there have been lots of cases these past few months, but if bars had been open (or open now), the numbers would be exponentially higher. It's a completely objective statement that open bars will lead to much higher rates of cases. Don't know how anybody could argue against this fact 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phills2k1 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Btw I'm in my mid 30's and would love nothing more than to be able to post up for a few hours in a pub at night. But I also know that opening bars would result in the absolute destruction of the country due to covid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andycoops Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Apart from the Thonglor outbreak, frequented by hi-so Thais and government officials, 2 mangers prosecuted as the Scape goats, the other spots which started outbreaks were a Boxing stadium, run by the police, no prosecutions and the Seafood market full of illegal migrant workers smuggled in by corrupt officials/businessmen to have cheap labour, no prosecutions. The problem is the pandemic of corruption by a bunch of Muppets which can't be controlled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just cannot accept it as you suffer from cognative dissonance and are brainwashed by everything you see on TV. You seem to think it is arguable. What amazes me is people like you are blind to science. Likely because you cannot grasp it... hence reject it. A few misspelt long words don't make your argument.

Good one. Oh, you're serious.

Ah, I see we have another Puritan who is only here for the temples ????. Most normal people like to relax on holiday, and generally that doesn't include being treated like a child who isn't allowed a beer. A lot of people on holiday spend days by the pool and enjoy going to the pubs and enjoying the nightlife in the evening. We're not all tucked up in bed with a Horlicks Lite and the latest copy of Cosmopolitan by 9pm. Given that many countries have just come out of strict lockdown, why would they fly half way around the world to a largely unvaccinated country that has stricter measures than the one they just left? Maybe for the beaches? ???? https://www.thephuketnews.com/oil-spill-hits-phuket-beaches-80370.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not so surprising that they don't like this as it affects their life. Not judging what they do but it explains the huge resistance against bar closures here. Because what you said and what what i said before is the same. But they just don't want to get it. The idea is to keep infections down so you dont overrun the hospitals. With what is open now we keep stable even going up. Opening the bars and getting extra infections is pure madness. Just to open up an non essential service. Markets and restaurants are a different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I got those too. But it is apparent to me that alcohol affects behaviour, decision making and sadly (or happily sometimes) my usual level of reserve... My being in need of help is not the subject of this thread.... which you can see at the top of the page, perchance you forgot it in the need to argue another item.
