"there will be no need for more restrictions" >screenshot taken< Will post when current restrictions will be prolonged, or new ones introduced in 2-3 months time. 

Restrictions and lockdowns will continue for 6-8 years. It's the only way they can reach the goals of agenda 2030, and ordinary citizens will pay the price.

I bet in a year or two from now, we will have be official "lockdown season" and "lockdown season sales" etc. - Only 2 lockdowns until Christmas. 

Central World will be a ghost building in 7-8 months from now.

Really. Lack of vaccines in the country, halving the vaccines available to everybody, no vaccines in sight for expats maybe for 3 months or more, people travelling freely around Thailand, mass exodus from Bangkok, tourist trade in tatters, businesses closing left ,right and center, unemployment rising, hospitals over crowded. Amazing decisions from amazing people living in amazing Thailand.

"Daily reported infections have also jumped by about 10% each of the last 3 days." A daily increase of 10% per day represents a doubling time of 7 days. So unless something is done a week from now the number of new cases is going to be 12,000. A week after that it will be 24,000. Etc.

New daily case amounts aren't dropping and you can't stay in a continuous lockdown.  Vaccines are the only answer.  If they don't hurry the problems will mount.

And why would it be needed? we are running out of ICU beds for a weeks now, but yet didn't run out, right?

How many Generals are there in the Thai Government?

Not sure about in the government, but there are something like 1,600 general Generals in the Thai army. It works out at one General per 200 soldiers.
In the US army it's apparently one per 1,600 soldiers.

You just can't have enough - never know when an urgent buffet opportunity might raise it's head.
