Popular Post Farangdk Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yet another Laurel and Hardy show from that side. People must learn to live with this virus. The virus will stay here for a long time, maybe forever. Open Thailand. People need to start making money and get some food on the table, start to have a life, many lost their home, their jobs and living on the streets. There is only one way for Thailand and that is to open Thailand. Bring in the tourists/ people who have already been vaccinated. Get more and more Thais vaccinated in a hurry and test all the time and lot more. Right now, it is a joke and Thailand is more or less falling apart. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like anybody thought an October opening was likely in the first place... On the contrary. There are many Business people in Thailand who were promised this by Prayut, and only yesterday was backed up by Anutin with the statement " once we are open, there is no going back ". These people have been lied too now over so many Covid issues and promises, having opened, and again closed their Business Etc. Instead of all this flip- flopping and the constant stream of BS and outright lies, the Government need to get a grip on the situation. The best place to start would be to drop completely the Oct 1 st opening. The reality is this will not happen. Covid infections are way too high, and Countries are now starting to Red List Thailand due to lack of a credible Vaccine program, and the low numbers stated as Vaccinated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonypandy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 1 hour ago, brucegoniners said: "government implemented mandatory lockdown measures"? And what exactly were those? Closing restaurants and bars? People still moved freely about. It was the worst of everything. People lost their jobs and still contracted and died from the virus. This is actually the first intelligent thing I've heard come out of his mouth. Reopening the country would be a disaster. A real lockdown for 3-4 weeks is what's needed to crush the virus. Then maybe you can open November 1st and save the tourist season. Otherwise the country is screwed and many more will get sick and die. And go bankrupt, and lose thier jobs if not already happened, and die of starvation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Breaking promises, not fulfilling his pledges, ignoring his own declarations, and not even attempting to fulfill his obligations as PM are just par for the course, for this man. He is a terrible PM, and does not have a nanogram of leadership skills, in his tiny frame. Plus, he is timid, afraid of his own shadow, and the opposite of strong, on every level. Want to know how I really feel about him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommysboy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 2 hours ago, bkk_bwana said: Much as I dislike the PM, it's not just him or Thailand. Every country in the world has behaved exactly the same way. Flip-flop, changing policies, do this, do that. Say this, say that. Open this, close that. Nobody knows how to handle the pandemic 'properly'. Why should they? Right in one sense. But Thailand is among a select few of truly dumb countries that has not vaccinated according to age (and thus need). The nations 10 million over 60's could have been protected by now and this would have afforded a huge reduction in deaths and the possibility of at least a partial reopening. Effectively, Thailand is in no better place than it was when the rollout began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness back when he gave the October opening date which was one of his many statements Thailand appeared to be off the Covid hook so he was probably feeling rather cocky, but he didn't have a crystal ball and got it wrong sadly for Thailand! What he should have stated was if we continue with the few infections we currently have we could open as soon as October 1st! You shouldn't knock the guy for being optimistic! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikeith Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, Tonypandy said: And go bankrupt, and lose thier jobs if not already happened, and die of starvation For those that have not seen this, there is a New Variant of covid detected as coming from South Africa, a new variant described as worse than Delta. One case of this variant was discovered at the NZ border and isolated immediately ,lucky for us. RNZ news reported that this new variant may be resistant to all the present vaccines. There was mention that vaccines will probably need a booster third shot and they will be looking to see what the big pharma will come up with to combat this. Some virologists have a theory that the virus mutates more strongly from vaccinated people. It certainly does not stop being infected or vaccinated people from spreading covid, however NZ authorities say it is preventing the seriousness of the illness and keeping the hospitals extensive care unit numbers down . Right now NZ hospitals are under strain, with a small number of infections, if it breaks loose we are in big trouble, therefore both NZ and Australia are in a race to vaccinate, even though they know it can not prevent infection, they say that it will prevent the seriousness of infection and overloading of emergency services. If this new variant starts to travel around and Thailand opens the doors to SA, then what will happen?> Russia has a new drug that just went to phase 2 trials and so far has not produced side effects, it is called MIR 19 and attacks the SARS component of the virus in the lungs, it is said to be 10,000 times effective against covid, and is administered by inhaler. You can google MIR 19, Russian drug trial-- and read it yourself, it is up on RT Today and You Tube, which is the first to take down fake news. The world should stop squabbling, and unite against this, instead we have corruption to the length that the USA strongly advised Brazil not to buy Russian Sputnik , source RT Today, You Tube,-- so that's politics, big pharma and corruption dictating the path that countries take to buy their products. No wonder Thailand and the rest of the world are in such a mess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
