Those numbers are indeed to fear the people to travel during Songkran, same as in 2020-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had us going nowhere and doing nothing for months. So now they let Songkran out of the box and say it looks bad after Songkran Well it looks like its party time so suck it up. Err... it is a Thailand festival for Thai people to enjoy and reunite with family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Seems that this issue of the so called “ reopening “ seems to center around bars and nightlife. Which seems to be the main form of entertainment especially for many expats and tourists. I bet if the bar and nightlife situation got back to normal. A lot of the issues some people have of “reopening “.would go away. And tourism would increase. As for Songkran. It’s just another reason for many people to booze it up and act stupid. This is what Songkran means: Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year festival since the former time. It is a celebration that embraces goodwill, love, compassion. and thankfulness, using water as the means of expression. The word Songkran derives from Sanskrit meaning to move or step forward. It’s not supposed to be a drunk free for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippytum Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Now that the figure of 50,000 cases has been quoted they will stick to that as a maximum figure whatever the true number of cases that are positive. This government have been manipulating the he number of cases reported since the outbreak of covid . Presently the number of cases and daily fatalities are at a record high and the restrictions are being removed to appease the constant business lobby .

koratkarlos Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The 50,000/day COVID number implies a 100% positivity rate per my thinking, as they only do 50,000 tests per day. Accordingly, any elevation of the reported numbers is politically motivated as they will have to increase the testing. None of this really matters. COVID is here and will find its way, even in lockdown China. We only hope our bodies can withstand this dreadful disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly less if they feel there's a chance of getting soaked on the way out or going home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Why predict a maximum? That's too easy. Just take any believable number and multiply by 2, and it's unlikely you'll ever be wrong. "We predicted 50K max, and the numbers did not exceed our prediction... see how smart we are?" If you want to be bold, predict a MINIMUM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexus99 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 11 hours ago, impulse said: The fully vaccinated rate in Thailand is 72%, well above the US fully vaccinated rate of 66%. And nobody in the USA is going wanting for vaccines. We can get them at almost any corner drug store, Walmart, etc. That leads me to believe there's about 30% who just won't take the jab. If anyone isn't vaccinated, it's generally because they have chosen not to be or not to make the effort. I hope they're not expecting the entire economy to stay on hold for another year while they sit home and wait for it to come to them. The US is full of crazy right wingers that refuse vaccinations because "freedom". Its pretty sad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 14 hours ago, snoop1130 said: The scenario, as painted by the Public Health Ministry, is that, by April 19th, the number of new infections will surge to 50,000 a day and, in early May, the number of lung inflammation cases will be around 3,000 a day, with about 900 cases requiring ventilators, and the death toll will be around 150 per day. While Anutin and Prayut enjoy the Songkran festival within the confines of their cotton wool existence I wonder if they've given any thoughts to what the effects of so many sick and dying might be to the employers who have to try and keep production within Thailands companies and offices at a normal level?

Lacessit Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Nobody is going to convince anti-vaxxers to get vaccinated, or mask scofflaws to wear masks. The best any of us can do is take sensible precautions to stay safe, without going overboard. I don't wear a mask on a golf course, not when there are 150 acres of free space surrounding me. Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers will always be there. I just ignore them, Darwin will do the sorting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notrub Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Masks. A person commented that masks are like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence. Well, if that bug was riding on a tennis ball it would get stopped. The tiny virus rides on water vapor and sneezes and these are what the masks stop. Both out and in, I suppose. Refusing to wear one is asking for trouble and giving the gift of illness and possible death to others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
