Popular Post Swiss1960 Posted November 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2021 Just a heads up: I was informed yesterday evening, that students of a public Pattaya school, that attended the firework festivals last week, have yesterday been diagnosed with Covid. I was informed, because my daughter attends the same school, actually even a parallel class to one of the affected students. And I have seen the pics of thousands of maskless people on the beach, so it does not take a genius to predict that this might be the second hot spot after the Loy Krathong festival in Si Racha... There is yet to be an official announcement from the school or the health department, but I know that I will keep my daughter at home for now and have her do a Covid antigen test, even though she did receive her Pfizer shots through the school vaccination program. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scubascuba3 Posted November 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2021 Interesting, I doubt mask wearing would have helped much, so many people packed together, being outside hopefully not many cases 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEBBYB808 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Many student's at many schools have been showing up at schools testing positive. They test the children. Tell the parents, and inform them to keep students home unntil test results are back, then only the students testing positive must be isolated at home and the rest return. This has been happening everywhere, but they aren't sharing this news. They want to open, and now theres a new strain. They will still open this counyry now.

Jeffr2 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 This was also reported for the music fest. Lots of covid cases there. Mask up, social distance, and get vaccinated. Not much else we can do... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thank goodness they forced all the small open air bars to close. Given it includes the word alcohol might have been risky. Mind you on the beach it was all systems go, go, go. Pic Sat night. If you zoom in centre of pic you will see tall farang and Thai daughter both masked up. Oh those dirty farang. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeffr2 Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 Yeah, crazy. Can't go sit in an open air bar for a drink, but can crowd down on the beach. Insane. I hear the local 7/11's doors were super busy with everyone going in to buy their drinks. While the bars next to them were closed. What a super spreader event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungod Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Given the time lines unlikely it was the fireworks, but I will bow to one of our resident virologists for their opinion. Fireworks Saturday, test positive on Monday? Most likely got it somewhere else IMHO. Fire work infections will come later...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post normanx1234 Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 DrJack - You managed to get me and my daughter in the picture waiting for my wife to negotiate some sold-out seats that suddenly became available at the right price. Crazy thing about the weekend is that no vaccine status at all for the Pattaya hotel, mall, restaurants or the (absolutely packed) beach. Sunday, we went to the zoo on the way back to Bangkok. Again no vaccine status required to get in. However, when we did the short boat trip to the lemur island in the zoo, that was for vaccinated people only, with masks and gloves the whole time. Guess the lemurs are more valuable! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Absolute lunacy! Loy kratom, Music festival, Arts festival, 2x firework festivals???? Guaranteed spike!!!! Guaranteed spikes???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherHun Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 All those people on the photo gonna be infected. Ha! Not so the Bangkokian Ferrari-"HiSos" and JustAnotherHun. We kept social distance to the virus spreaders and watched the firework in safe distance from the Rooftop Terrasse in Central. So I survived ???? Today I had to do my Antigen Test, mandatory 6 days after the test&go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the craziest 7/11 scenes I've seen since pre-Covid Khaosan Road Songkran festivals. At the large 7/11 on Beach Road next to Central Festival, they had two extra staff for queue management, plus they sold packs of ice outside in front of the shop. They must have made an absolute killing. Fun as it all was, it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that it wasn't just a fireworks festival, but also a Covid spread fest. I staid in an area with beach chairs for rent that were nicely spaced out, but many photos from elsewhere on the beach look quite crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo1968 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If there is no spike or a small one there is no reason they can continue the alcohol ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People came from all around for the show. I have no doubt there will be a spike, it's just the spike will be spread across neighbouring provinces.

She had Pfizer shots so she is completely safe from contracting the virus. I hear that daily so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
