Popular Post webfact Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 Prayut: I am in charge of this mission Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that Thailand has reached a turning point in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic and he is now in charge of “every aspect” of his government’s efforts to combat the deadly virus. He said the state of emergency, which will take effect starting after midnight of Wednesday, is necessary to deal with what he described as the worsening situation. “From this point on I will be in charge of the mission to stop the spread of the virus. And I will report the progress directly to the people,” he said in an address to the country this afternoon. Prayut appealed for public cooperation in complying with the series of measures introduced by the government, especially the stay at home directive. He said more stringent measures will soon be imposed under the special executive power granted by the state of emergency decree he has invoked. Prayut did not spell out specific measures that will be imposed but said they will be announced in stages. “We will fight the pandemic together and together we will triumph,” he said.

Popular Post dsf9 Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) A lot of people packing up today, including my Pad Thai lady to go back home ???? I guess when you don't know what awaits with these "stringent measures" its easy to think 'let it pass' by returning to the village for a few weeks... counter to the actual advice and intent of restrictions Edited March 25, 2020 by dsf9 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse; he could have put Anutin in charge with Prawit as number 2! But I think we all expected the beloved leader to take full control! 5 1 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 I hope he takes FULL responsibility if it all goes out of control. Probably not, he is used to passing on the blame to others, in any situation. 14 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kerryd Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) So what, he's going to wait until the midnight hour to announce the restrictions that are supposed to start at midnight ? And if he announces that the provinces will be locked down and roads blocked, do you think there will suddenly be a mass exodus of people trying to get home, hoping to get there before the barricades go up ? (An even larger exodus than what has already happened.) Especially if they know they could be stuck (wherever) for a month. Or more.

Oziex1 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 "Prayut did not spell out specific measures that will be imposed but said they will be announced in stages" So the time is still not right for the much anticipated, Decisive Action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
