News Forum - Thailand’s Covid-19 alert decreases to Level 3

[Thaiger]

Today, the Ministry of Public Health announced that Thailand’s Covid-19 alert level has decreased from Level 4 to Level 3 nationwide. Whether Thailand is ready to declare Covid-19 as endemic will depend on vaccination rates, according to the ministry. Director-General of the Disease Control Department Opas Kankawinpong said Level 3 means Thai residents still can’t go to bars and entertainment venues, or any places which are crowded or have bad ventilation systems. People in high-risk groups, such as the elderly or those with congenital diseases, should avoid group gatherings, he said. He advises that high-risk groups and the unvaccinated should […]

If a covid level changes and no one cares, does it really happen?

[Soidog]

There’s seems little to no practical difference in level 4 or 3.  Just another piece of bureaucratic BS.

Time to drop the restrictions, temperature checking, mass masking etc. 

The world is moving on, time for Thailand to be the land of smiles again.

In which world are these people living? Where I am, bars have been opened for months, not a peanut on the menu cause there is no menu, thermometers that they all had to buy are full of cobwebs, etc... Is it hipocrisy or are they just so disconnected??

Opas said more than 90% of coronavirus deaths are among elderly people. He said that some have underlying health conditions, while others didn’t get a booster vaccine.

Brilliant! They have finally found out what has been clear for so long now. Protect and vaccinate / boost the ones that die from it, ederlies and people very obese and with severe commorbidities (so the ones that benefit from those vaccines) and leave everybody else alone with those vaccines that do not offer any immunity whatsoever to people who have no benefit from them anyway in the first place.

Malarkey.

Do as you please, but you should not be offering medical advice to anyone.

Numbers must coincide with opening.

I agree with rc1 and manu.

Time to get rid of everything. Vaccine requirements, ridiculous masking everywhere, stupid caution tape crosses on the floors of lifts, fear everywhere. The pandemic is over, the only people dying from covid are the ones that would have died from the flu or pneumonia in the first place—what those willing to take a good hard look at things have known since the beginning of this debacle.

For those of us in good health and young, leave us the f*ck alone and stick your vaccine up your ass. If you're concerned with your own health then go get the damn vaccine, but don't force it on me.

Time to move on. There are far more important things to be concerned with in this life than Covid now.

Like living it.
