thailand49 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The fellow should have spoken up earlier to his own countrymen and leaders particularly those who brought in all the illegal migrants to work in the Bangkok area, locals bars and clubs while the leaders told everyone don't drink they party it up Hi-So, with special invites throughout the country even Embassy personnel isn't that how the current outbreak started?

monty1412 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 where do they get these idiots....perhaps he is auditioning for job at TAT with his senseless rhetoric...average throat diameters range from 21-27 with women generally at the lower end and TAT and now Department of Health official-dome at the top end.. need more room to let the bullS#*t out one presumes..... the diameter of a single Corona Virus is about 0.0001 mm so yes if alcohol dilates the throat diameter some you could fit more than the 250000 virus particles lined up neatly in a line in the throat compared to a non imbibing person....

Hanuman2547 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 A lot of people in close proximity to each other and not wearing masks is the bigger problem no matter where you are. At least on the BTS and MRT people are wearing masks despite being very crowded. However, that could still be considered a risky environment. Alcohol is not really the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Laughing Gravy Posted November 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) And they say Thailand is a medical hub.????. I still remember the prominent doctor telling parents that children in their early teens should skip 1000 times a day, so they will grow taller. Also the doctor promoting slapping female breasts, so they got bigger. You couldn't make this stuff up. Only in Thailand.

Bobydog Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 21 hours ago, webfact said: He claimed that a department poll of the general public conducted in the first two weeks of November indicated that 56.8% didn't want any changes to the alcohol serving rules. And does this 56.8% accept responsibility for the extreme number out of work, displaced and committed suicide peoples by keeping venues closed or so heavily regulated that they can't open anyway due to the inability of the Government to deal with the immunisation of her People. I would suggest that any incoming visitors would run a higher risk of Covid related issues from the Thai People/administration, if they came at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely an agenda behind these arbitrary alcohol bans and it has nothing to do with COVID, that's just a convenient excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear these claims … Any scientific studies in renowned medical journals to support this ? Or is it just the abbot of a certain sect telling you this?????

But to use this as an argument specifically in the context of Covid is really much exaggerated and weird. Following the argument you would need to restrict alcohol consumption to help prevent cancer as well. And a number of other ailments. So no more drinking in public at all, folks - and close all those bars and you name it. Or only serve tea there Maybe governments should be mandating sobriety tests before and after flights instead. World would certainly be a healthier place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is not completely nonsense. The doctor just failed to add the information about the amount of alcohol consumption required to affect the immune system. Moderate drinking of, for example, 1 beer every day will have no effect on a persons ability to fight Covid or any other virus for that matter. The people who would suffer most from poor immune system response are those who regularly consume relatively vast amounts of booze. I think the doctor is toeing the government line in trying to reduce the amount of alcohol consumption countrywide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
