[DaLa]

Ok guys and gals, see you all down in Krabi in a few days. I hope all the bars there have stocked up well.

[Crusader]

Might be signed as early as tomorrow...well guess who is going out tonight???

And some bars/pubs have restaurant licenses too - especially since they had to close last time and restaurants could stay open.

???? Yes I know one who went out for a restaurant licence on the Monday, opened as a restaurant on Wednesday and on Friday the opening was extended to all bars and pubs. 

Sometimes you just can't win.

The sh*t is about to hit the fan big time!

 

Expect national lockdown measures to be in place after songkran through summer. 

 

Could be. Wait and see. Glad I have a big house and some property to roam around on. Would hate to be locked up in some condo for months at a time.

[vandeventer]

Now this could be a dilemma for the tourist with the bars and massage rooms closed. Just where are they going to spend their money?

It is not known if restaurants will be included in the closure order.

 

In their EN language news briefing  this morning, the CCSA spokesman said the current plan does NOT call for closing restaurants in the 41 designated provinces.

 

He said restrictions against restaurants would be considered instead on "a case by case basis."

6 cases and you want to close the province? Not everyone collects a pension

25 cases in Bangkok confirmed . Does that have some bearing on your thinking when they are closing down a city of over 20 million compared to 2 million in Chiang Mai ?

Well, it worked last year, we've been safer because of it.  But why allow tourists in while doing this?

1. It didn't work did it as they have to do it again now.

2. They're skint

Won’t affect my plans to go back to my wife’s village

 

Big speakers hired with a water fight planned, whisky, sharing cigarettes with all the factory workers from bkk. Extra alcohol stocked up just a 200 metre drive away.

 

Didn’t get to see them for last years, they were made to work instead of the holiday. This year will be a big one..

With the reported cases now in Chiang Mai, I do not understand why Chiang Mai is not on this list yet.

38 and 39 are missing in the list more than likely CM is 1 of the 2????

We are all being played and if you don't think so then you need to do more reading.

Try Mike Yeadon, Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr Ryan Cole amongst many many others.

Are they rappers?

Why does it always have to be about death? Maybe it's the fact that country's can't afford to have their entire health systems overwhelmed with hospitalised patients, and with a short supply of drugs and beds to treat people. At the peak, in the UK, a new patient was being admitted to hospital every 30 seconds.

Totally agree. I think that guy must live on Mars with Cyndi Lauper. I think a death rate of 1 in 9, in the over 80's who are infected, is something to be concerned about.

And thus, the reason we're where we are. People ignoring the guidelines 

[worrab]

Would this include a 10 day festival in our village at the temple near Bang Saphan Noi? Bands every night with little social distancing I would reckon!

Yes of course it worked last year. Day after day after day of Zero cases.

The reason why, not a single test was being done.

Oh look at us, the best in the world, we have no covid cases, we keep dirty farang out.

lol. Pathetic 

What a joke. Been thousands and thousands of cases in Thailand from Day 1.

 

Wrong I had two tests last year.

They had a similar event a few days ago in Phuket, a huge party, revellers, water, drinks and fun had by all. Now all the attendees are queuing for mandatory covid tests.

UK still had massive numbers of hospitalisation after they immediately locked down London etc., Thats 4 months ago bars still not open nor restaurants, no non essential shops, no hairdressers etc., No real family mixing too, This virulent & more serious virus variant happening as millions move around at this holiday time is quite frightening.  Be careful, wear  masks in busy places especially indoors...meet outdoors. Avoid crowded buses. Younger people will be asymptomatic but could spread to elders who may be most vulnerable to lung infections. Meet outside.
