Pattaya – Pattaya City Public Relations has announced not to hold activities with more than 50 people due to Covid -19 concerns and rising cases in the province and city.

 

First, as a reference:

Chonburi yesterday (February 25th) announced a new record high of 1,419 new and confirmed cases of Covid-19 and two new deaths.

 

The Pattaya City Deputy Mayor Manot Nongyai told TPN media, “Due to many confirmed Covid -19 cases in Pattaya and Chonburi, any activity that is more than 50 people gathering together ‘SHOULD’ not be held.”

 

“Everyone must strictly follow the Public Heath measurements and avoid going to risky places, attending parties or drinking in groups. They should also work from home if possible.” Manot stated.

Omg. People are fed up with this bs now. The vast majority of Thai and foreigners here in Pattaya just want to get on with life and stop being frightened of Covid. If afraid then they will not go out to venues. It's time to let people choose for themselves whether it's too risky or not. Outdoor music festivals on the beach cancelled when the chances of getting covid are minimal yet multi generational Thai families live in confined spaces is OK. Most people here are double jabbed and many have boosters too. Enough!

It has most certainly been proven that open air events carry risk in spreading Covid, it started in Europe that way at football matches. It spread in Thailand at boxing events. That was with a far less contagious strain too. And families mixing together is not the same thing... that could be considered a bubble.

'People choosing for themselves', well it doesn't seem to work very well generally. Perhaps because then they are not considering others. 

A young person would not worry, yet still be serving up foodstuffs at their place of employment the next day. 

50 why not 49? Or 51? Following the science!!!

An arbitrary number supported by nothing more than a whim.

So does that mean the upcoming "Honda Ladies" golf tournament will be cancelled?? I think not!!

I hope not.

Either you let it run or you don't, live with it or you don't. Those continued flip-flops destroy any hopes of a speedy recovery of tourism.

So I could have 49 girls at my room and be OK.  Good to know.

I guess that rules me out from joining in the fun with you...????

I like your thinking 99.

Seal all exits and count the people.

Those same people who think driving totally drunk, or banging an experienced bar girl without protection is fine?

Speaks for me and most people i know...

I am so glad that I did not go to Thailand yet.  My buddy in Hua Hin stayed there for 2 months and

is anxious to get back to Canada. Said that it was the most boring time that he has ever spent in Thailand.

I am hoping that by November, the numbers will be down by then and the restrictions all gone. I do hope that TAT and the

Thai government will have had enough time to make a few logical decisions by then. Maybe I am giving them both too much

 hope.  I am ever optimistic. 

These positive numbers rising from 5,000 to 25,000 are such BS. How many tests were given last week? How many this week? Numbers are just manipulated to control the netizens

Do you know anyone who is NOT fed up? I'd say it's a fairly good bet soi3eddie IS speaking for everyone.

So omicron cannot spread if there are under 50 people!

 

Got it.

People gather no matter what you do. In hospitals for example.

 

There is no evidence any of these measures work. That’s the unbelievable part. Belarus did nothing, they didn’t get wiped off the face of the earth. They are actually doing quite well. 
 

No again, people choosing for themselves works 100%. If you are frightened to death you stay home. Leave everyone else be. Nothing “works” in the way you are using the term.

Everything that is happening is so obviously one sided, yet people like you keep dishing the fear and screwing up the earth for everyone. Live in fear! It’s fine with me. I support you 100! I don’t wanna see your face anyway. Leave others alone. 

Belarus, run by “Europe’s last dictator”, a country that stopped reporting daily deaths. Their excess death data also stopped in March last year and was way over that of most countries per capita. Its a country in denial much the same as Russia with its fake death rates. The most unreal death charts for Belarus in the world for covid.

 

Doctors afraid to speak out for fear of finding themselves behind bars.  “kill the virus with vodka,” was advised there while hospitals were overwhelmed with shortages of oxygen and medicines.

 

Try again and stay away from whatever sites it is that you get your information. Either that or provide credible links to your claims that they are doing well.

Plenty of bars and restaurants will have more than 50 people in tonight (including staff).

If the police don't shut all these places down the initiative will have fallen at the first fence.

Extended opening hours would lead to less crowding and more mothballed places would re-open.

People do not crowd together in hospitals, silly to even to bring that up as an example. Public transport would be a far better one. 

Your metric is if a country did not get wiped off the face of the earth, they did well? Belarus did employ Covid measures, the people reacted and did their own isolation, there is large hospital capacity there and people were forced into isolation. There are no care homes for elderly, so they mostly live alone, which is sad but in this case benefited this vulnerable group. Their daily deaths currently seem to be in a stead rise evident since 2020. 

People like you, who dig up obscure dictatorship countries like Belarus (who are more concerned about being a Russian puppet) are part of the problem. This is an open forum, put me on ignore if you cannot deal with opposing opinion.
