Thailand to shut construction sites, seal off camps to contain virus

[Cake Monster]

Have this load of Numptys not realized yet, that Covid is not just down to Migrant Workers.

There are 100,s of thousands of Thais running about all over the Country on a Daily basis spreading the Disease.

The Migrant Workers are predominantly located in one area for their Job and Living.

OK ! . they may have clusters, but the actual spread is caused by Thais trying to make a decent living.

And...Who will feed them if they cannot leave camps?

Who will guard that they cannot leave camps?

 

Aside from the fact that this is total BS deflections

What is with these people always blaming a Nationality for anything?

 

It is a nondiscriminatory virus it cares not who it infects

 

Lastly Covid has been in full force within Thailand since early 2019

Just because they didn't test for it they think they were untouched till now?

 

Realize the worst has actually passed same as all countries & get on with

governing your country's recovery

 

 

Try 2020. As for feeding the camp inmates plenty of Soi dogs to go around.

I am glad that I am not one of the unmentionable rich elites, who watch the military junta, stumble along

trying to be the government of Thailand.  Is it not embarrassing?  Just my observations.

Guess most of the rich elites are not watching much in Thailand, they are mostly overseas living off their wealth deposited in tax free havens.

How many more of these Migrant camps exist  in Bangkok or surrounding Provinces  that still need to be checked for Corivirus cases ???? 

It seems to be happening daily now numbers increasing all the time

Thailand will close hundreds of construction sites

 

How about Slaughter Houses as well??? Being reported this morning here in Cambodia:-

 

Thailand has reported that Nakhon Pathom had a new cluster of five cases at a slaughterhouse in Samphran district involving imported cases. Of the 31 imported cases, 28 were reportedly from Cambodia, including 17 illegal returnees. The illegal returnees were suspected to be daily paid workers who could not afford quarantine costs nor quarantine itself as it would affect their daily wage livelihood. Others were from Russia, Malaysia and Myanmar.

Locking all the workers in for one month without being able to work sounds quite cruel to me, they will go bonkers and probably won't get paid. They should have prioritized vaccination team visits instead.

Gov't copied this page directly from Singapore's playbook. When things get hot, crack down on the migrant workers.

[retsdon]

So if any worker hasn't had Covid before, he'll surely have got it by the time he gets out. 

 

Sorry, but there's something sinister about trapping people into contracting a life-threatening disease because their passports are the wrong colour. The dark underbelly of Thailand is getting revealed here...

Absolutely I couldn't agree more. I would suggest however, that it is the dark underbelly of the ruling class of Thailand, which (the ruling class) are a very different group to the general population.

Sounds like the idea came from what the Chinese did to the Uyghurs. No human rights violations?

[connda]

From a human rights perspective this sucks.

Why not seal off every village in Thailand.  But no. Concentrate on enclaves of migrates. 
Thais - Clean
Foreigners - Dirty

[Albert Zweistein]

So the workers can infect each other.

I truly wish the government would stop blaming others other than Thais for their plight.

 

Banging up construction workers only and not Thais in general when covid is rampant in Thai society is ridiculous.

 

If its not the foreigners , its the migrant workers. Only other people I guess they can blame in the poor.

Don't worry, the labor minister has said that they will make sure no one leaves, I wonder which minister will make sure no more come in! 

Which police departments will be responsible for tracking down the people that smuggled workers in with Covid-19, and who will prosecute these criminals and employers, maybe the guys on the Red Bull boys case would be the top team. 

[Piscis]

As far as i read Bangkok Post, the closure of the Camps is just one action the government will do.

Where can i find the complete "lockdown light" actions they plan to implement?

 

They mentioned "travel restrictions" - however, no complete "travel ban"...

 

Somebody knows what kind of travel will be possible during the current planned actions?

 

Thanks!

As someone said, the Godwin solution. Tons of guys working in these places from Issan. Good luck with that. Super spreader event imminent.

When things go wrong, blame the foreigners/outsiders.

 

It worked perfectly for brexiteers.

 

Why shouldn't Thai Junta use same strategy?

[Danderman123]

So…. are Thai troops actually guarding any camps or construction sites that have people in them?

[ozz1]

lockdown the camps but keep all the big shopping malls open good idea
