Whether you are exposed in a bar or a supermarket it makes no difference. If the officials are worried about hospital beds stop forcing people who are not sick into hospital for quarantine. It makes zero sense. It makes perfect sense......if you happen to own a private hospit_al/el or two! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spetersen Posted January 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2022 The blame game is on and it will never stop. Authorities will never take any responsibility because if the do, they "loosing face". The responsibility of the current situation is00% the authorities , with the inability to have a strategy that entails to the current situation. We just have to learn to live with the virus for maybe several years and it looks like the latest strain of Covid 19, Omicron, will find us regardless of measurements are place, it will spread all over the globe and closing borders won't help. It will be better slowly, people will get a boosted immune system that can fight the new strain of the virus. That said all people around the globe need to be vaccinated, no place for anti-vaxers, and as long authorities/and or countries prioritize them selves prior to regular people the virus will continue to mutate. "Catch 22", Don't authorities and leaders do any cost benefit analysis anymore ? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey11 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Said before the true restaurants will get rolled into the 'bar/restaurants' in footing the blame. The town halls issued the licences when it was obvious that they were still going to operate as bars so blame lays with them. Meanwhile those proper restaurants that have been open months will suffer along with the bars. Question is would these bars have converted to restaurants if alcohol was still not allowed on eateries? Of course not so it was obvious to anyone, officials included, what would happen and how they would operate, regardless of licence status 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasure and money before saftey. and that is so bad? Think most would take the risk of dying happy other than cowering at home. It has been two years now and think we know the risk.

The blame lies with those that refuse to acknowledge that fact, unfortunately voluntary separation is no chin. t in the DNA of the majority. Not much social distancing going on in my local Makro, Tesco, Big C, etc. Was in Bkk Bank today and several staff (talking amongst themselves) had their masks pulled down under the chin. You cant just blame the bars, people are lax everywhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I had symptoms my test was negative. Had worse colds from dirty aircons than that. Better make hotel aircon cleaning mandatory every 3 months! I have made many posts about this - ATK tests are unreliable, many people I know have cold symptoms, ATK negative - they are all doing the right thing and isolating assuming they have omicron, only way to be absolutely be sure is PCR test and nobody is doing that at least not farang There is no way to stop omicron - impossible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why make a statement nobody believes? This is Songkran 2.0, it was destined to be a national superspreader and only the mentally challenged wouldn't see this coming.

shdmn Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Why are people still under some illusion that lockdowns will stop or even slow down the spread with omicron? Lots of examples of countries that have heavy restrictions getting hit just as hard as countries without. I don't think it matters one bit with omicron. As long as you are breathing you will be exposed, doesn't matter what precautions are taken. Edited January 10, 2022 by shdmn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about the individual and their pleasure. I guess you think you will stay young forever, and never have health issue of any sort. Well good luck with that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy for overly rich, self entitled, "so called leaders" to criticize and scapegoat anyone they can. They just don't get it, it's going to spread everywhere, people isolate and spread it to family and so on. Maybe some good news is my mother in law who works in the markets in HUA Hin says that no one appears to be sick any more where as 4 to five weeks ago she stayed home as some stall holders were collapsing from Delta, now she said she knows no one who is sick 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the countries that imposed draconian rules are still hit as hard by spread, the world has to let this run and fissile out, and this may well be the end of the pandemic and prove to provide natural immunity, bye bye pandemic, we hope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited tree town not too long ago just to see what's it's like, and the place was PACKED, zero social distancing, hundreds of mask-less people sitting within arms reach of each other. Took me all of 5 seconds to determine it's not worth risking catching covid and quickly left. Vulnerable, high risk and concerned people should protect themselves and NOT go out to 'see what it's like' then complain about it. Can easily see 'what it's like' on YouTube almost daily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They assured everyone that if they would be allowed to open they would respect all the rules, maintain the distancing and order, etc. It was thier job not to be 'overwhelmed'. They got what they wanted (opening) and did none of what they promised and were obligated to do (because it had a cost). Hey @LivinL0Syou do know you're livin' in LOS...yes? ????

Caldera Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I've seen some "socializing" at "restaurants" in Pattaya over New Year, so I'm not surprised that we are where we are. Unfairly targeted?
