Ok you are correct, yet CDC and WHO claim the symptoms are similar and the vaccines wont stop people catching this virus just like previous flu shots don't stop a flu virus.I'd rather trust my immune system to lessen any effect a virus might have on my body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been possible to travel around and even encouraged for Songkran. 2 - Smallpox was eradicated and hasn't been seen since 1980 You are correct on both points, however Smallpox was not a corona virus it was was a infectious disease caused by one of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor. The agent of variola virus (VARV) belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus The common flu, also a corona virus, has been around for a long time, over 100 years and even though we have vaccines for it, we still get the flu! It is almost impossible to eradicate it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common cold can be generally yes but the flu? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take to get infected? You can have your test 60 hours before boarding your plane but still get infected 12 hours before you board your plane. Then they quarantine and are tested in quarantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I REALLY want to be wrong, but....... And quoting my own post (sorry!) but not a day later we see..... This was basically what I feared! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 also.. Thailand’s Centre for Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has confirmed the closure of entertainment venues in more than half of the country’s provinces. Entertainment venues, which include bars, pubs and massage parlours, must close for 14 days, the tweet read. No restrictions on restaurants were announced, other than being required to maintain social distancing measures. However, in Chiang Mai, Provincial officials have announced that the Sale of alcohol in Restaurants is prohibited for the next Seven days.....?

Keep on doing that for a few years and what is left? Truly a case of a disease being cured but the patient having died. Agreed. Beyond ignorant. Total knee jerk, deer in the headlights, major coward reactions. One would have hoped for more "manliness" from the army. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and Chiang Mai just announced 14 day quarantine for the red list provinces entering their borders, I think provinces now also need to add Chiang Mai to the list that need quarantine to enter. Its basically all a balls up and the country needs a complete lockdown. Its the only fix to get us back to normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genix Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Did the government/police inform bars that they must close at 9 & not serve liqour? I just called a few (granted, they also serve food so maybe classified as "restaurants") and they said tomorrow they can also serve alcohol and food till 11 pm.

It would appear that some of those guys prefer grouping together rather than maintaining any semblance of social distancing. And the denial crowd are around somewhere to lend some encouragement and support. So I guess they can continue their bravado act the next 2 weeks in some of the low-ceiling restaurants in the area while the drinking bars are closed. (....though at least Tree Town is mostly open air). The rest of us can continue zig-zagging around them or crossing the road.

Popular Post rott Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 I would say that social distancing fell away a while ago and this is not caused solely by a few people on Soi Buakhao. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
