A guy i knew topped himself a few days ago in UK, Corona was the reason, closing his golf course could have well been the final straw 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before these dogs start to suffer real starvation and pack fights start and/or menace anyone on the streets? Any good samaritan who feels the need to continue to go and feed may face a real problem . Those good Samaritans caused the problem in the first place, now we have way too many dogs, well done to them 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people ignore the peril and keep socialising this virus will sweep rampantly through the country. Socializing is perfectly safe, as long as you keep your distance, do not shake hands, and avoid anyone who is coughing or sneezing. We are talking about 1000 infections in a nation of 68 million people. Panic is setting in, and alot of inane thoughts and edicts are being tossed about. There is absolutely no need for the entire nation to self isolate. The virus will come in cycles. One two week cycle does not mean the end of this virus.

Excellent advice. New research shows CCPcovid19 has siesta between these hours.

Common sense is required, in the absence of intelligent leadership. 5 days ago there was 411 so more than doubled. If doubles every 5 days that's 2000 in 5 days from now 4,000 in 10 days so around 16,000 in a months time. You must be very smart though because you say socialising is perfectly safe whereas almost every expert in the world would disagree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ftpjtm Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I have no problem with closing malls, bars, entertainment venues and other places where people congregate. But I don't understand a nationwide "stay indoors" edict. I walk between 3 - 10 kms daily for my health, either on the streets of my quiet neighborhood or a quiet section of beach. I can easily keep a 2 meter distance between myself and others in either case. Now I'm being asked to stay inside a relatively crowded and cool house instead? How is that more healthy? I thought Thailand's salvation is the hot sun and humidity which makes virus transmission difficult. Now it's okay for me to sit in a confined house or a crowded, air conditioned Big C but I have to stay out of the fresh air and sunlight? Sorry, doesn't make any sense to me. Mandate wearing masks in public places (which ARE effective in preventing a carrier from transmitting the virus to a non infected person), and break up gatherings of people, but don't lock us down in houses.

Central has chairs set up 1.5 meters apart or so. Still many foreigners not wearing masks, yet so few people in total that social distancing is relatively easy for those of us practicing it.... the Russian holiday families do not seem to care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt 35 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Is it a curfew or not? They say stay inside but are there hammered a curfew by law or only an advice to stay inside. For some stay inside mean not go shopping, visit restaurants, meet friends etc., for others born unsocial as me it mean no individual cycling, walk/jogging even if its far distance from every human so what is the order by law? Thanks Felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
