And how do you contract covid19 when gambling? The viruses drop down on the spinning roulette and spread like a tornado?

In the USA, casinos in general opened pretty quickly and are now very open. Go to turning stone in upstate New York, the place is packed. Poker room is full.  People sitting elbow to elbow.  no enforcement of anything.  Just signs saying unvaccinated must wear masks, vaccinated to not.  But no checks are made at all.

 

 As for the drinking ban. That is so obsecen and irrational it is almost insulting.  Thais gather for eating all the time. Gosh Tree town in Pattaya is a packed crowded gathering place.  Drinking booze or not would make no difference on transmitting or catching the virus.  The percentage of Thais vaccinated has barely climbed above 30% the last time I looked at the statistics.  I don't see that doubling in the next few weeks as the other somewhat relaxed sandboxes open.

Rules do not need to make sense. It’s 9 parts out of 10 an exercise in obedience, 1/10 a pandemic. People have had too much freedoms in recent decades that need to be curtailed. This is precisely what is happening now.

Everything Prayut says and does serves one purpose, defending the edifice that put him there to do just that, and at the moment that means trying to kill the daily protests. COVID is only important in that it increases popular dissatisfaction.

Through his spokesman at Government House Thanakorn Wangbunkhongchana as reported by Daily News, Prayuth said:

 

No parties

 

No drinking

 

No gambling

 

I am more than willing to obey this ruling, IF I can be sure that it is applied fairly and equally across the Thai population from the lowest of the low to the highest of the high.

 

That would mean EVERY officers, SNCOs and other ranks in the military, police, civil service messes and HiSo house in the entire country with NO exceptions at all.

 

Otherwise it is just more mealy mouth meaningless drivel which many people see and hear every day, and ignore.

The 'Herd'  covid and vaccine programme has a totally different meaning in Thailand!!!!????????????????

The beach was heaving with people along many kilometres with cars double and triple parked and horrendous traffic.

The people have had just about enough of Prayuts madness.... business as usual.
