Popular Post NoshowJones Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 On the airport train there are red crosses on half the seats which means only 50% of them can seat people. All the rest are standing like sardines packed together. So does that mean all the people sitting are safe from covid and it doesn't matter that the ones who are standing are at risk from the disease? Or have I missed something? 2 2 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 they were put at the beginning of pandemic, and there is still an emergency decree. They are there in case of the next wave. Probably they would be taken down, when wear off. Anybody can seat, if they wish. I have seen in european airports those reserved seats, not long ago. But those airports were empty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 No, you can catch Covid while standing. Masks work but they need to be used in conjunction with social distancing. If you are masked and in very close proximity to an infected person, you are increasing your chances of infection. A lot of protocols that were initiated early on in the pandemic have since been found to be not particularly effective, such as incessant disinfecting of things. Infection by touching something is pretty low. As the pandemic grinds along, people seem to be less and less likely to adhere to protocols. Hopefully, they will ignore those that are truly ineffective and follow those that are protective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I understand that, I was just wondering why there was no social distancing on the BTS or MRT seats yet there is on the airport train. another poster explained the reason and I think he was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the authorities "think" that people that stand have enough sense not to gather in crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Great money maker idea folks; a face mask amulet, sort of like a lapel pin. I'm guessing the 'No Covid' amulet would be as popular as the 'Love Romance' amulet. BTW, two weeks ago when I took the Airport Train there were hazmat suits spraying at both end terminals.

LukKrueng Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 23 hours ago, possum1931 said: have I missed something? You missed a lot of things. You can't catch COVID while eating. You can't catch COVID while drinking. There are many situations in which you're safe. And for all those who replied with something like "this is Thailand" open your eyes and get your head out of wherever it is - many such restrictions are implemented or were only recently stopped basically all over the world. In many countries they had even worse restrictions such as total lockdowns for extended periods, restrictions of leaving the country (Australia is a good example - you had to ask permission from the government to fly out. Kinda prison really). So yes, many countries got their bearings right after more than 2 years and Thailand is a bit slower, but it is going on the right direction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timendres Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 7 hours ago, itsari said: That statement can not be quantified or verified . Fantasy The UK has made an attempt to quantity this information. According to the government, total COVID deaths recorded is just over 190,000. Also according to the government, total deaths caused by COVID is roughly 140,000. There was a big deal made of the report that only 17,000 deaths were caused "solely by COVID". But that was misleading, and the above ratio (14 : 19) appears to be more accurate. https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2022/01/26/to-say-only-17000-people-have-died-from-covid-19-is-highly-misleading/ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths https://www.bbc.com/news/60145237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokHank Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 It's a scientific fact that you can't catch COVID while sitting down. The virus just floats right over your head. That's why it is not necessary to wear a mask in restaurants. Here is a diagram showing how it works: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
