Is this necessary for someone from the provinces going into and out of BKK in a matter of a few hours for the sole purpose of getting a vax?

I doubt it, but it might be a good idea to complete it, just in case.

I was depressed and could hardly believe my eyes that my brothers and sisters in Thailand had died on the streets without care.  So I asked the government how to let the country walk to this point? Why is the government putting people in such a terrible fate?

Will be very interesting to see the level of exodus from Bangkok this weekend.

The fact that 27th holiday cancelled might not stop the travel.

Note in another post that registration for inter Provience travel seemed straight forward. My guess is that there will be lot of traffic on the roads out of Bangkok

if you are not kidding, than you are very wrong. you do not want to be locked down oh no.

feels like thailand is traveling back in time to the wuhan days...no you cannot do that thailand.

there is much more knowledge now about the virus. crazy china lockdown will destroy what's left from thai economy.

Didn’t Thailand just try a no lockdown approach? In which case results since April speak for themselves.

yes well this is the reality we all have to accept. open all the country now and live with 30K infections daily. no other way (because the number of deaths from lockdown will be much higher).

can't believe anything that comes from india, but i do believe mexico and brazil, where the

economy allmost all open, anyone can visit without quarantine , and yes, there are hundreads of dead daily.  that is the way thailand should adapt. becayse in such countries, lockdown means anyway hundreads of deaths daily from other problems like poverty and crime.

So in a lockdown such countries have hundreds of deaths a day from poverty and crime. Just a statement I guess with no data to back it up? But in any case you want to have hundreds of deaths a day from Covid instead. And you want Thailand to adopt such an approach. Is that what you are saying?

or could Thailand have had a lockdown early so as to avoid the deaths from Covid AND had social programs to help people so that there aren’t hundreds of deaths a day from poverty and crime. I mean, kinda like walk and chew gum at the same time.

 

it wasn’t always a binary choice between hundreds of deaths from Covid or hundreds of deaths from poverty and crime. Which is what you seem to be saying.

I must say its quite stupid they closed eateries in the Malls, i can understand them closing them but then at least let them be open for food delivery. The selection of food available is a lot less now. 

555 one of the biggest advocates of a lockdown on this board now complains his choice of food is too limited. Haha you really cant make this up hahaha. 'Me me me me'.

[anchadian]

Today there were 87 deaths in #Thailand

 

59 males & 49 females

Hmm, a couple of points here I think.

 

1. How do you know infections will peak at 30k a day if the country is open? Are you thinking of the comment from Dr Opas ? Because I don’t think he was envisaging a completely open country scenario when he warned of 30k cases a day.

 

2. What kind of data do you have to support a statement that deaths from lockdown will be “much higher” than, well you don’t specify, but I assume Covid if the country is open. Or is that just your personal speculation?

That post is so off the mark in every way it's not worth pointing it out to you. 

 

BTW without lockdown and adequate vaccine (which we don't have) your 30k a day is a joke. Would be FAR FAR more.

You cannot compare Miramar with Thailand we still got a functioning government and army. There is a a civil war and non functional government over there. Besides if riots would ever occur for food supermarkets would be the targets not houses of people.

Here I see saying you can't compare Myanmar with Thailands then you go onto compare Myanmar with Thailand saying Myanmar doesn't have a functioning government, are you implying that Thailand has a functioning government?Thailands "government" as you call it may be functioning but it like a wheel on my VW with one bolt holding it on and wobbling badly just before the wheel fell off and the wheel overtook me as I slowed down and had to stop.I was able to find three wheel nuts to hold the wheel on until I got home.The Thai "government" is wobbling badly and is slowing down like it's economy and there is talk (only talk for now) of another coup and there is growing amounts of criticisms.I really don't think you're in danger of having your home invaded for food but doom is here already for many in Thailand and some are not coping well with the situation.Did you see the video posted 2 days ago of the naked dead woman hanging by the neck on this forum which is still there of what's happening in Malaysia?Did you read about the young nurse that leapt to her death recently in Nakhon Pathom?Many will not see the doom or choose not to see it but it's definitely there.

When I order food there is almost no contact with the delivery man/woman. All paid for in advance. 

There are many here in Thailand who don't have money to buy or order food and are relying on the kindness of others to feed them because as you say the non functioning stupid government is not functioning if Thailand had a functioning government this mess wouldn't be so big.There are those around you who care more about putting food into their stomaches than catching the virus from close contact.

The stupid government should have started vaccination far earlier we are all suffering because of it.

Yes the "government" is not functioning as it should which is causing suffering.Are you "suffering"?Do you call being inconvenienced suffering?Suffering is usually associated with pain and hardship not inconvenience.This non functioning "government" has caused suffering and pain and hardship ad death to it's people and it's time for it to be stopped being referred to as a "government" functioning or otherwise.

What a strange extrapolation to make. I’m reading the same posts and it seems robblok is making the case that food takeaways pose  similar  risk to supermarket deliveries and therefore eateries should be allowed to do takeaways.

 

your comments seem to bear no relation to what was written.

Try living in Myanmar and then tell us that the level of functioning is the same as in Thailand.

Sorry but if you think that the government and civil war in Myanmar is the same as in Thailand then you and I have a different opinion. I think the two are incomparable. Unless you think a civil war is raging in Thailand. The government in Thailand is at last functioning as in protecting safety and preventing looting ect. 

 

I guess your trying to push your anti lockdown views by highlighting the plight of others well done but I am pretty sure they would be far worse off if dead on the street. Many people are using the poor and hungry as an excuse to have their bars open. Sounds a lot better. I can't say if that is the care for you but I have my suspicions.

 

Mate you read too much into the word suffering. I am not talking about missing my food deliveries. I am talking about the whole situation of covid that would not have been this bad if the government had ordered vaccines earlier.

 

Anyway lockdowns work but they have to smart, I am sure that the few people who lept to their death and others are miniscule compared to what happened in India when the health system could not cope anymore. That is far more worisome. They now say that its 3 to 4 million death. Makes the death rate a lot different.

 

I am only pro lockdowns because of the health system and its problems. Do you really think that it could handle all the extra cases if we open up. Just keep essential services open else hospitals will have to do triage.

Not really I can accept the fact that the selection is a lot less if there was a valid reason for it. However I don't see it contact wise. Neither do the people in the BKK post from the food industry who work in malls. 

 

Perhaps you can explain to me the difference between a supermarket delivery and a delivery from a small shop and one from the mall. IMHO they are all the same risk wise.

What i don't understand is those that are saying food deliveries are dangerous but seem to think a Wuhan style lockdown is good, what according to them the difference is between accepting food from a delivery service or given by the government. Contact stays the same. 

 

I have many friends in China. From what they told me, it was implemented very differently. Delivery drivers were not even allowed past the outer gates, not allowed into buildings, customers either paid without scanning or drivers had a card that they put down beside the things and then they walked away. They never got close to each other. Government handouts were also well organised with safety in mind.

 

I don't like the Chinese that much, it's very much a me first society but I must say, they implemented very strict measures that worked very well with the original variant, I don't know if it would have worked with Delta. 

 

Very different from Thailand IMO
