Popular Post webfact Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 Pubs and bars in Thailand opening today - Ekkamai club shows off the New Normal Picture: Daily News Daily News went to an upmarket club in the Ekkamai area of Bangkok where staff were busy preparing for the long awaited reopening of bars, clubs, karaoke and soapy massage in Thailand. But with 22 regulations to follow the New Normal for patrons will not be what they were used to back months ago when the establishments closed during the first throes of the coronavirus pandemic. Assama the manager of the Sherbet club, said that he was following the government's rules for reopening to the letter. Picture: Daily News Tables at the club were socially distanced, there was frequent cleaning planned and the use of UV light. Patrons would need to book a table to prevent overcrowding. They would need to enter via temperatures checks, complete the Thai Chana tracing app and pass through a disinfection tunnel. Once inside there are partitions everywhere to keep patrons apart in small groups. Picture: Daily News Assama said they would do all they can so they can reopen and start earning again. Phase 5 of the release from lockdown begins today.

It's ridiculous how many people seem to think that those things will somehow stop you from inhaling infected droplets exhaled by someone else. Frik - just have someone blow some smoke at your face and you will instantly realize how useless those shields are. Because if you are smelling the smoke, then you are breathing it in. The only difference is, if you are breathing in infected droplets, you won't even know it. 5 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 And those chairs in the 2nd picture look awfully close together. Once people are sitting in them I seriously doubt there'll be the "proper" spacing between them (not even close). 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be in groups of 2 or 3 separated by screens to allow people who arrive together to sit together. Squeeze a few girlies in the spaces between and will be just fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post from the home of CC Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 With drinking causing reduced judgement and reasoning plus the effects alcohol has on a healthy persons immune systems you can see now the effects of boozing in bars in the US. Unless you have complete crowd control (in a bar? impossible) all the plastic walls in the world won't prevent transmission. People don't drink through masks so the whole concept of 'safe bars' is based on filling the cash register, not preventing disease. I understand the businesses are hurting but causing a runaway infection rate is not the way to restart the economy - as proven in those states that are now shutting in the bars. People spent a lot of money getting their bars going again only to lose it all, again. How many times do you need to be kicked in the head to begin to realize you can't wish this away.. 8 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you stay a far shorter time in an MRT. So really not a valid comparison. Only for moaners of course its a comparison. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
