Any thoughts as to likelihood of being able to make a day trip in and out for that purpose? I'd say it's up to your dentist. I live outside of Chiang Mai where my dentist practices, but my car has CM plates, so we've never been stopped at a Covid checkpoint before. My guess the dentist office will either cancel and reschedule or will confirm the date after Songkran. I'm thinking she'll probably cancel though, as she is incredibly paranoid about Covid. Me? You roll the dice and assume the risks. Personally I'm much more afraid of Thai road accidents and road fatalies and getting dengue a second time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomazbodner Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think lockdown might be a good idea. Really not surprised by the daily numbers anymore. This is at [let me delete the name of large shopping center in Pratunam not to get sued for defamation]. New Japanese restaurant just opened.

It was brought in to ensure that they could keep track of all those nasty foreign criminals., or so they claimed. Of course the people supposedly undertaking that task are the biggest organised crime group here so how that worked we will never know.

Miami007 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 6 hours ago, brucegoniners said: They should have done this before the holiday! Nobody wants a lockdown, but at least it will avoid further sickness and death! Everyone needs to keep in mind that getting infected with covid doesn't mean that you will die. Currently, the mortality in Thailand is about 0.3%, which is very close to the newest estimates by WHO. Initially, people talked about 4% mortality and 80% or more infection rate - people dropping like flies. All that didn't happen. Thailand has fewer than 100 deaths and 35,000 infections - how many people died from pneumonia or flu on an annual basis in the country in 2018 or 2019? About 40,000.. nobody said one peep about it. Why did Thailand not see many infections in December 2019 and the first there months in 2020 when Chinese tourists came as usual? With the number of respiratory deaths in previous years, it could have been a similar virus and cross-immunity from Covid Some of the measures are useless - malls closing at 9pm, no alcohol in restaurants - nothing to do to stop the spread. People will simply drink at home with friends. Unless a country wants to close all contact with the outside world forever (and before they have a large outbreak), all these restrictions accomplish is a suppression of transmission on a temporary basis. Once society opens infections rise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
