Love to see more clarification. You got a long wait for that... This is a soft lockdown, in other words nothing much has changed, do what you like all day and at night please don't go out unless you have to... very subjective. meaningless, pointless and clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) My relative got out of Thailand in time. He tells me that the situation is not good and he did not want to be stuck in Thailand for the next 3 to 4 months. His Thai friends in Pattaya who work in the hospital, let him know that it was time to leave if he was wanting to get out. What ever you hear from the PM or TAT, put a lot of salt on it. In control? Well the numbers are rising. Vaccines coming soon, believe it when you get the shot in your arm. Or this. Geezer Edited July 10, 2021 by metisdead Trolling image removed.

Swampy999 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thailand now ranked 118 out of 120 countries for it's handling of Covid-19, Air Asia today cancel all domestic flights in July, numerous international flights cancelled.

hotchilli Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 13 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) imposed a number of partial lockdown measures on Friday, including a night-time curfew and a ban on gatherings of five people or more in Bangkok and five nearby provinces, to come into effect on Monday (July 12th), to curb the continued surge in COVID-19 infections and deaths. Half measures, nothing in these latest regulations are going to make a blind bit of difference.... expect the numbers [if recorded] to keep rising.

Why not restrict everyone to soi only? Or how about within one BTS station’s length away? Why not just put a bubble with a checkpoint every 500 meters? Every one of these travel restrictions they do are arbitrary and do literally nothing. They’re just trying to save face, I don’t see why they are so petrified of COVID... it kills less than 1% of people who get it.. There’s like 5 TV channels here that are dedicated to COVID fear porn 24/7. Those channels show two things: Fear porn and big scary statistics, or useless footage of workers spraying down stair cases with pesticide sprayers filled with sanitizer and stuff like that, as if that’s supposed to make anyone with a brain feel better. What is the deal with recording and taking photos of useless activities here? It was the same at my gym, the staff would literally go around in pairs taking turns taking photos of each other wiping down a machine with a spray bottle. Or taking photos of useless paper sign in sheets that nearly everyone ignores. By the way, that’s another genius move right there. Make everyone touch the same pens so they can write their name on some paper. This isn’t normal or rational behavior... but neither is riding three people on a mostly plastic Moped with no helmets. TIT. I have lost 4 close relatives back in the UK and Ireland in the past 15 months and the lockdowns were more severe than what Thailand have introduced thankfully i managed to get my 1st AZ vaccine yesterday as the island i live on is meant to open up as a sandbox zone next Thursday i would love to know where you get the 1% from or is that just a figment of your imagination ?

People are selective when it comes to statistics. I'm sorry for your losses. I have lost friends myself to covid who seem healthy and also have some still suffering effects of long covid months after they "recovered". As long as we know the reality, no point arguing with others here. Stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteflight Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 15 hours ago, The Cipher said: If someone can't pay the rent, can't provide their family, what kind of life are they living? Are you saying that Monks don't live a good life? A good life is one where you're healthy and still alive. It's common knowledge that the number of deaths from Covid in every country has been under counted, not only the direct deaths, but also the deaths from people who couldn't get treatment for other things because hospitals and ICU beds were full, so stating some stupid figures of percentage of people who 'revovered' has zero basis in fact. If the sight of all ICU beds being full, and trucks being used as temporary morgues because they regular ones were full doesn't bother you, then you have no compassion. You can live poorly and recover from that, nobody can recover from dying of Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloquent pilgrim Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Just as significant in this exponential rise in confirmed cases, is the lack of vaccinations. Figures updated yesterday showed Thailand with only 13% of the population having been vaccinated, and a mere 4.6% fully vaccinated. This problem is compounded by the use of Sinovac for many of the vaccinations, which is proving to be a vaccine that is mostly ineffective against the Delta variant. You can impose all the lockdowns and alcohol restrictions, you want, but until a large percentage of the population are vaccinated the infection graph will continue its upward trend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Yet another soft Lockdown. These people just dont seem to register the fact that the Virus in order to be transmitted , has to be carried by something, or someone. So where are all the restrictions on Travel ? No restrictions for Bus, Train or Air, and the Motorways and other routes are still all open without restrictions. Good luck with these measures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sead Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm back home now in Sweden as of today. Still no masks and ever open and a wonder feeling. Wife returned home (Pak Chong area) on Thursday and someone reported her to the authorities that she arrived home. On Friday morning she got a visit from the nurse in hazmat suite. Asked questions about tests etc. Luckily my test for my trip was enough. She had to post my test on her FB so that everyone could see I was negative. You can see how uneducated people are easy to put in fear by listening to this government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobydog Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 With all this back and forth I haven't seen anything about how this shutdown will effect the playerrs in the Phuket sandbox or were they the 100 plus persons that died over the past few days.
