Popular Post webfact Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 Picture: INN The national Security Council chief Gen Natthaphon Nakphanich in his capacity as head of the CCSA said he was waiting on information from the Ministry of Public Health before considering a lockdown. He referred to dangerous areas where cases of infection are high as candidates for a lockdown as reported by TNN. But INN believed a more widespread lockdown could be in the offing throughout the country as Covid-19 infections remain high. The general said that the CCSA were ready to consider anything. He pointed out that the lockdown of the country from April of last year cost the government 300 billion baht a month. Another one would mean another curfew and even more hardship. It was not a question of avoiding a lockdown but that people advocating it have to realise the knock on effect on places that are not locked down and that all angles, and all people have to be considered in such a big decision. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-08 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 Various comments by authorities regarding 'possible lockdowns' is just about getting folks head around the fact that lockdown is coming.

sezze Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 1 hour ago, J Town said: How about considering vaccinating ALL folks living in Thailand? Vaccines do not work 1st second . Most ( J&J not ) require 2 shots , and for the Delta , you def need the 2 shots to be protected . So from getting your 1st shot , it takes at least 4-6 weeks to be working . If you see the numbers of 4-6 weeks before , you can imagine that it is too late for it right now ( although it would certainly help later on ) . But there aren't millions of vaccines ready to distribute , what you don't have , cannot give . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Lockdown? Nationwide or targeted? I believe this will be the key question. What about the "sandbox"? It looks like Japan will be in another state of emergency(while the Olympics are going on?????). "Truth is stranger than fiction". One possible indicator is to look a the cinemas. No new movies in a week. An employee at theatre in CNX told me no new movies until August, maybe. Edited July 8, 2021 by sqwakvfr 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
