Pattaya now on full lockdown, everything closed including Central. Restaurants are takeout only. It sucks but I'd prefer they shut down now and its over in a few weeks vs 3 months again.

[QUOTE=HoustonPlayer;2516602]Bangkok is still open, it depends on the district and the local police's interpretation of the rules. Nana Plaza go-go bars are closed, pubs are open and Soi Cowboy all go-go bars are open. (still dead with few tourists).[/QUOTE]Revision made today non-essentials all shutdown, 7/11 is to close at 10:00 pm! Can go to the Bangkok Post links to get details. Just came back from the market on the Darkside all the bars and GC are closed.
No Pattaya curfew, but shit getting serious. Chonburi Public Heath Office advising people to monitor their health if they went to H&M in Terminal 21, Duck Club on WS, Glass house in Na Jomtien and a bunch of other places. There are 108 confirmed cases of local transmission of Covid 19 in Chonburi. The total number of Chonburi is now reached 144. They've released three different timelines this evening to warn people.

Lockdown will not stop the virus. 100% buy in from every person will stop the virus.
Stop all those fools who don't know how the frack to wear a mask. Saw a lady in her 70's the other day wear her mask that only covered her nose and blocked half her vision. Left her mouth 100% uncovered and she was not drinking, smoking, nor eating. I also don't understand why people feel they have to take their masks off to talk on their phone. Dumb people.

You think she should have been smoking her head off and, presumably, injecting to protect you from your phobias.
Why not stop planes flying altogether? Why allow elite sports? Why allow newspapers to be printed?
I will take my chances by eating 5+ a day, keeping my immune system strong, helping old ladies and avoiding like the plague they are ignorant scare mongers.

The virus is spread all around the world and it's not face masks, vaccines or any totalitarian government response that will eradicate it. The virus will not disappear and these lockdowns will be extended as long as they can enforce them. It's completely illogical to fuck lives of 99 % of the population to save 1% so the problem has nothing to do with that virus but they are trying to implement something else on the global population.
To make it short, dumb people are the ones that believe to their narrative and are willing to inject that shitty product in their blood in order to still be able to do whatever they were used to before the spread of the virus.

Just being total cunts of course, acting that because they lived longer than others they earned the right to go without a mask. I'm not scared of covid but its just basic decency to wear a mask going into a mall where its mandatory on the first day of semi-lockdown.
Science says lockdowns do not work. It's all Political.
I feel a lot better knowing Thailand has one more Submarine.
[QUOTE=Paolo99;2517034]It's completely illogical to fuck lives of 99 % of the population to save 1% [/QUOTE]The problem is that the 1% would very soon become 10%, 20%, 30%, and so on, if the authorities would not fuck the lives of the 99%. Or if a significant part of the 99% does not want to listen to the authorities, which is exactly what is happening in the USA and many other places.

Anyone reading this who needs to be hospitalized for Covid today will be given treatment and drugs they might not have been given last March or April, even moved into a particular position on the bed that could very well mean the difference between dying 5 days from now or 25 years from now.
It requires time and, forgive the pun, breathing room to learn those things.
And if you ARE reading this today instead of being 8 months dead already after waiting in a 10 hour queue at your local ER before anyone knew what the fuck to do about this novel virus to prolong life rather than end it you might want to give thanks to the authorites who had the gonads to demand a lockdown for the pleasure.
Now they are learning about a more infectious variant that might be much more harmful to people not in the first 1% or 10% that the original coronavirus version effected, perhaps young children. Or might not. Only time will tell. But I vote for learning more about it with just 50% of hospital beds filled with case studies to learn from during some degree of lockdown rather than with 100% of them filled and a 4 day gueue unable to be admitted and tended to at all just so I can pick up a loaf of bread at 7-11 at 2 am instead of only before 10 pm.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2517289]Who is the they you speak of? You seriously believe 194 countries and millions of medical professionals are in cahoots right now?[/QUOTE]Millions of people believe exactly that.
The fundamental problem is many people don't sufficiently understand the science to realize how destructive this virus is when left unchecked. They refuse to abandon their fun times now to save lives and have a better future. They don't care if somebody else suffers or dies.
Too many people are selfish and lack respect for others. What does Buddha teach about that?
