wasabi Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 at this point what difference does it make? No vaccines, nothing but BS from the gov mouthpieces. All we can do is wear a mask, clean our hands and avoid people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffandgop Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Reported two days ago...focus on food court and a gold shop as primary infection points. It does matter to know what is going around you so you can take (additional) precautions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there might be still people infected there who haven't shown any symptoms yet so it's better to avoid the place these few days,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexilis Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 That's very close to where I live. I was planning to go to the Tesco there two days ago but was lazy and did not go. Guess I will just completely bunker down at home for a while. Thank God for Foodpanda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I would suspect you will find a 'cluster' anywhere in Bangkok now............. if you bother to test. Lockdown extended for another week............I expect this to roll on for months now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Well ChipButty's link to CM City Life is a good look for worry info. 9 people at that Lotus and then those 9 people certainly have been in contact with how many oodles more. Seems this is bigger than we think. And this news is a couple of days ago as well. CM total 9 dead and 70 looking to have harsh symptoms. And so what about the other side of the street with the Rimping store and shopping center? It is only a rock throw away and surely someone who has been to the Lotus was over in that shopping center. Yikes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the area and may venture over to THAT side of the street once a year, whereas I visit the other two malls almost daily. There's no need to go over there when Rimping and Tops, the gym, restaurants, fresh market, night market, and all the banks are on the other side. Lotus suits a different demographic.

sammieuk1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 By coincidence cluster just about sums up the efforts made by this pathetic rancid government ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Trujillo Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 "We live near there and reports from the wife, she says 40 people infected,...." I think your wife is reporting a rumor. According to the official figures for that day, Chiang Mai had 21 "cases." Source If there had been a cluster like this, it would have been very big news. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I saw some foreigners without their masks drinking and chit-chatting on benches outside the coffee shop in the Rimping area. Don't they realize that drinking inside or just outside shops are not allowed? You're supposed to buy the drinks and drink it inside your house/office under closed doors and not out in the open in crowded public places. They were happily showing their unmasked faces just outside the Bangkok Bank sitting on benches. I wonder why there are no police there to give them a fine for taking their masks off.

Why should I make an arrest when it's the police job who are paid to do so. They have the training and manpower to handle this situation. It doesn't 'upset' me so much like you claimed here, what I am saying is nobody is above the law. Even the Thai PM was fined for not wearing a mask in public. I'm sure they do this almost everyday flouting the mask wearing and drinking in a crowded public place. There are so many people walking near them going to Rimping Mee Chok and surrounding shops everyday. There is a risk of spreading the virus.
