webfact 79,219 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Third phase of lockdown easing likely from June 1 By THE NATION The third phase of lockdown relaxation will take effect on June 1, after five relevant procedures are completed, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) informed on Friday (May 22). Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, CCSA spokesman, said that the procedures would be operated from May 23 to 31. The first procedure, on May 23 and 24, is collection of information on the Covid-19 situation by officials involved with the lockdown relaxation. “The officials will hold a meeting on May 25 and 26, and, on May 27 another meeting will be held by the specialised committee to consider whether the lockdown needs to be eased or not.” The decision on the third phase will be taken at the CCSA meeting on May 29, and would be enforced on the first day of June, he said. Taweesin added that the businesses, which would be allowed to resume in the third phase, have not been determined, but they would not be high-risk ones like night clubs. Currently, places that sell food and beverage, malls, supermarkets, retail and convenience stores, banks, salons, beauty clinics, parks, pharmaciesand government organisations have been allowed to reopen. Businesses that remain closed are zoos, amusement and water parks, game centres, gathering halls, exhibition centres, schools, amulet markets, spas, massage parlours, tattoo shops and boxing camps.

Without an effective test & trace network opening them up will create an army of asymptomatic children carriers bringing the virus home from the classes. 14 1 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's been known among epidemiologists (for decades!) that children are efficient carriers and that returning to school in the fall invariably corresponds to a large increase in flu every year. 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Initially as part of blanket restrictions imposed without much detail consideration. Understandable then but now? For officialdom to change it's mind in the face of requests pointing out perhaps the illogical aspect of their decision would involve significant loss of face. It could possibly be overcome by instituting a committee of two, The face gained by being on a committee could possibly override the face lost by reversing a silly decision. But taking such decisions takes time. 9 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Oldie 3,798 Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I am afraid that people started already their own phases. Yesterday at around 8 in the evening at the Tree Town area in Soi Buakhao here in Pattaya - very many hookers standing around without masks (many ladymen), many other people without masks, people with beer bottles sitting around and walking around with their bottles in the hand, people sitting close together in restaurants, etc. At the beginning of the crises I had a bad feeling running around without a mask. Yesterday there I felt the first time stupid to walk around with a mask. Edited May 23, 2020 by Oldie 4 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh but the virus has probably been here since last year and the schools didn't close til March. I can't remember any schools being closed due to all the teachers becoming sick, unless it was hushed up (which is always a possibility here) I'm not sure kids have any role to play in this either as becoming sick or passing it on If they did I think we would have much higher figures all over the world 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
