Chonburi, Thailand-The Chonburi Governor released several new orders this evening, July 12th, 2021, effective tomorrow, Tuesday, July 13th, 2021.

 

The new orders enact a stay-at-home request during these hours, similar to Bangkok and other provinces (click here to read about that) however, unlike those provinces, it appears to be a REQUEST for cooperation and not a mandate, based on the orders so far released. However, see below.

 

The order also closes the following between those hours:

 

Closing from 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM are gas stations, restaurants, food carts of all types, department stores, retail, convenience stores like 7-11, all markets, massage shops, pools, water parks, game and internet cafes, amulet shops, beauty clinics, tattoo shops, and all prior closure orders like nightlife being closed period apply. Essentially, all businesses are ordered closed that are not essential services like hospitals or law enforcement.

 

Mess halls/Canteens in hospitals may stay open during these hours, all others must close. As stated, this does include all street hawkers, stalls, food cart vendors, etc.

a curfew without it being an actual enforced curfew

how does someone get to a hospital if there are no taxi's, walk

what happens if the hospital you call only has one ambulance and he is picking up someone with covid-19, if they will, do you want to get into it?

There is nothing in the order to say you cant call a taxi or they cant operate.

I imagine ambulances would be following some sort of protocols if they carry coviid patients, cleaning, isolation etc

459 new cases in Chonburi today, so they have to do something.

Einstein famously said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over again snd expecting a different result. Closing people's livelihood does NOTHING to stop the virus. If it was going to work, it would have worked already.

And still no alarming situation in Pattaya.

It's the unavoidable follow up to keep Bangkok tourist out.

I am afraid more will follow. Fencing off the beach, no sitting at the promenade etc. All to shy visitors away.

Same procedure as last year. See Einstein post above.

If you are saying that lockdowns don’t work, you would be wrong.

 

if you are saying that half-assed attempts like this don’t actually stop the virus, that’s a different story.

 

They need to stop all unnecessary traffic from Bangkok.

Apparently this virus is contagious only at night.

That should already be happening, with effect from yesterday.  Only "necessary" travel out of Bangkok is allowed.  However, we're still waiting to see what is deemed as "necessary"! Many people do regular business between Bangkok and Chonburi/Pattaya/Rayong, and if people already have hotel reservations made for a holiday will this be allowed?  Hopefully, reports will start coming in soon.

When there is a sense no one has a clue you move slowly cautiously and copy what others are doing then cross your finger. It is coming slowly but surely.

Although they say it's a request the op photo makes it look more like ....

Depends what you mean by lockdown. Wuhan style, shut absolutely everyone in their home and poke sandwiches through the letterbox works. Anything else just slows the virus down a bit. Worth doing if you have an effective vaccine but otherwise it's just delaying the inevitable.

Or keeps the hospitals from being overwhelmed.

Ah the go to strategy of reducing opening hours again.    If you reduce the opening hours of somewhere like a 7/11 then all you do is ensure that more people will be in them at the same time.   If the covid virus was in charge of making policy, this is definitely one that it would implement.   

I'm going to have to go to my local restaurant tonight, the owner's reactions will be hilarious.  I sympathise, this is lunacy that won't help stop Covid, but it will still be hilarious.  ????

Hospitals are already overwhelmed. My girlfriend got delta 5 days ago. I paid for her to go to a quarantine hotel. After the second day they asked if she could share her room with strangers. Normally I would do the right thing and ask her to agree. But there is a very good chance someone else in her family who are all at risk will also get it and then they would have nowhere to go. Apparently people with covid sleeping out on the streets around quarantine hotel. 

 

She only just got over the first covid 19. She says this one has different symptoms and is much worse than the original. 

 

It's all looking a bit grim.

Lokdowns were never meant to eliminate the virus, just reduce spread and take the load off then hospitals. This has been explained many, many times in the last 1.5 years. If you were going to, or able to understand this, you would have understood this already.

Never takes long for this old chestnut to appear.  It has appeared in every thread in every forum in the world discussing closure times for the pandemic, just in case you thought you were being original, or in any way adding to the conversation. 

It is not a question of understanding, it's a question of belief. Where is the evidence that you can contract covid in the open air? There have been numerous rallies and protests arround the world and these have not lead to outbreaks. Lockdowns work. Randomly closing places is NOT a lockdown.

Hoping she recovers soon and well.

Evidence? Air? That's how most of it transmits. Yes, al fresco is much safer than indoors and confined areas but it is still possible for transmission outside, especially amid large crowds.

So the bars that are opening illegally, will they close early? Or just business as usual.? Time will tell soon enough. 

A place that I was sure had been  surreptitiously serving drink, declined my request for a glass of red with the spag bol last night. Bummer. I would have thought an empty Coke bottle next to the glass would have fooled the bobbies had they appeared. But it was not to be.

And was asked to share a room with strangers, in quarantine? Are you out of your mind?

A virtual curfew. All they did was extend it by 2 hours.

Lockdowns don't work. Masks don't work. Nothing works. The evidence is overwhelming as we're 16 months on now and the situation is worse now than it was at the start. It certainly is no better. Sooner or later the world will need to accept that we need to live with covid as we've always had to live with influenza. Apart from the health impact of rendering a large percentage of the population destitute, begging for food, the impact of constantly breathing one's own CO2 in masks will cause a general deterioration of health. We used to breathe out to eliminate CO2 as a waste product of cellular metabolism, but now we are forced to rebreathe it. This will lower the oxygen content of our blood. I feel sorry for the people who need to work 8 - 12 hour shifts with masks on.

I had weird flu-like symptoms twice last year, one month apart. I never had a flu quite like this. I suspect it was covid. It was the mildest flu I've ever had and totally gone in 3 days. Many people don't get symptoms at all. They should have protected the older population and let the rest of the population get on with the business of living. Most people are afraid to go to hospitals in case they catch it, so that's a huge negative impact on the population's health too.
