Public opinion sought on relaxation of lockdown measures and curfew

By The Nation

 

 

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has released a questionnaire via Google form for Thais on the second phase of relaxation of lockdown measures and opinion on the emergency decree.

 

The centre will gather their opinion and propose to the Cabinet for consideration on May 17.

 

The questions seek people's opinion on the curfew, anti-virus measures, and the emergency decree.

 

Three key questions are:

 

▪︎measures people would like to be lifted (such as inter-provincial travel ban, 14-day quarantine, night curfew, etc.);

 

▪︎remedial measures that people want after the crisis (such as free internet, water and electricity discount, free transportation, expanding the eligibility of people suffering from Covid-19 for aid money, etc.)

 

▪︎appropriate period of curfew -- 10 pm to 4am, 11pm to 4am, 12pm to 4am, or cancel the curfew.

 

People can answer the questionnaire until the week and CCSA will consider the measures based on people's responses, medical advice, and infection statistics.

And completely ignore it, as they have no say in the matter.

Public opinion sought????? Why those in control here will never take any notice, so why even suggest it?

[Crossy]

And nowhere is there any indication of where to go to answer the questionnaire (or the link is well hidden).

[mr mr]

i know of a few places that are closed that if opened would provide much needed relaxation.

When government doesn't have a clue, they ask people with even less of a clue..

Sounds like a referendum and we all know how they end ????????

[Puchaiyank]

NOW...you want public opinion?  Why did you not ask the public before you shutdown the entire Thai economy, closed the borders, and setup roadblocks between provinces?  Total BS.

Answers template below...

 

1. All measures lifted

2. Want everything for free - internet, water, electric and lots and lots of free aid money.

3. No curfew

Another topic which is more or less useless to discuss. With free speech and free media, everyone knows what the ppl think, need or want.

What is the point, the powers that be will do exactly what they want to do; in addition, if it takes months to count the votes for electing a government how long will it take to go through the question & answers and arrive at a decision that the people want..?? One thing for sure it would not be this year .....LOL

In Phuket they set up road blocks between Tambons

I was thinking more along of the line of instead of being fined for riding without a helmet, the cops give you 200Bt instead.

Yes, the highly educated and well informed public should have it's say. All three of them.

Yep that be because they dont want anyone to complete it :) but it shows the masses that their views and opinions are keenly sought 555

 

ps. saw a very funny live stream from a mate in Pattaya recently where he was walking along Beach Rd (yes on the ROAD)  and following about 8 Cops who were walking along the Beach Rd footpath. Was illegal for the punters to walk on the footpath  but was ok to walk on the road amongst the traffic. So dumb yet so typical of so many nonsensical decisions 555

Some observers say: the informed (but not open) government knows it should keep the measures in place...but, they might have to be more open about why...therefore, if they hand it over to the uninformed public to ask for the predicted "lift all the measures" then it will be the public to blame when bad stuff results later. "There just wasn't the will of the people to tolerate continued restrictions."

 

If there really is no reason to keep them in place, they could just say: look, we got the numbers almost as low as China...so, let's do what China says it's doing and ease the restrictions. Why do such a survey?

12pm to 4am?

Tbats a lokdown baaaby weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ajajajaja I'm getting crraaaxxyyyyy with the unemployment booze and with neighbors allday! Hellllp me! 

Allah hakubarr

[loong]

The reasoning behind this is quite clear.

They can do whatever they like and when it goes boobs up they can claim to have consulted the public and shift the blame.

[johnarth]

yes all answered no wonder they not ask farangs

[Lacessit]

Lift the ban on swimming pools, which is the most moronic of all, illustrating how ignorant government leaders are of basic chemistry. Any pool that has Free Available Chlorine ( FAC ) at ANY level is a virus abattoir.

 

[AsianAtHeart]

It seems they already promised to loosen restrictions when there were fewer than 10 new infections per day.  The infection rate has been below that for awhile already: if they don't make good on their promise, they may lose a significant share of the public trust.  If it were up to me, they should only make recommendations and let people decide for themselves how careful they need to be.  But since they have assumed authority to govern people's personal lives, to be capricious about it will certainly not end well for anyone--the public or themselves.
