webfact Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Nida survey shows people worried about second wave of Covid-19 By The Nation Nearly half the people in a survey said they were worried that travelling across provinces could lead to a second outbreak of Covid-19, while most people agreed with the government's gradual loosening of lockdown measures. The survey by the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida), released on Sunday, on "Lockdown Relaxation Measures" was conducted from May 4-7 with people aged 18 years and above in every region from various education levels and professions. A total of 1,259 respondents answered questions regarding relaxation measures to prevent and solve the problem of the Covid-19 disease spreading. When asked about people's opinions on easing measures to prevent and solve the Covid-19 problem, 34.39 per cent said they agreed very much because the number of people infected was very low, 49.56 per cent said they quite agreed because fewer people are infected; 9.93 per cent did not agree as the virus was still spreading and we were not out of the crisis and 6.04 per cent said they totally disagreed because they wanted the Covid-19 virus to be completely wiped out and relaxation should be postponed for another month. Some 0.08 per cent did not respond. Regarding public concerns of a second round of infections after relaxation of measures, the survey found that 15.33 per cent said they were very worried because of public gatherings and increase in travel while people neglected social distancing, which could lead to another Covid-19 outbreak, while 47.58 per cent said they were quite worried as people travelling across provinces could spread the infection. Around 25.73 per cent said that they were not worried because the number of people infected was going down and they had confidence in the work of the government and medical personnel. About 11.12 per cent said they were not worried at all because the government has good preventive measures. If people and entrepreneurs cooperate with the government to strictly follow the instructions, Covid-19 will definitely go away. Some 0.24 per cent offered no opinion.

Me too from Bristol, though in Thailand nigh on 40 years, and my brother down in Clevedon is totally taken in by all this nonsense, just don,t understand who has anything to gain by destroying the livelihoods of millions of people, except possibly someone hoping to make billions out of selling a vaccine to the believers ????

Nothing else to report on so they have to sensationalize to create doom n gloom. And create fear and panic. People committing suicide for fear of Covid! More and more this Covid is a mental health issue caught virtual. Daughter made a worried face when telling me that a fifth case was detected in Khon Kaen (sometime ago).

If it acts like a cold (also a chronavirus), it'll be here for a long time. Will they still keep the malls closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Surely the common sense thing to do will be that people who need to travel for whatever reason need to be tested before they are allowed to do so. Otherwise a second wave of C19 could or maybe happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
