‘Dark red’ curfews, interprovincial public transport ban possibly until Aug 31 – CCSA

[Thaiger]

Tight disease control measures including nightly curfews and a ban on interprovincial public transportation from “dark red” provinces are set until August 16, but the measures could be extended until the end of the month, according to a spokesperson during yesterday’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration press briefing. The overall Covid-19 situation and disease control measures are reviewed every two weeks, and it is likely that the tight restrictions will be pushed until August 31, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Natapanu Nopakun, who gives the CCSA report in English.

Disease control measures and farcical nightly curfews are inadequate. More of those in the red zones should be in the deep red zone. Sticking a band aid over this is not a long term solution. A more radical and robust approach may just see some improvement before 2022 arrives.

Are these lockdowns working? Wouldn't shutting down the construction sites (without giving a one week warning first, and allowing the super spreaders to travel all over the nation), the "cluster factories", setting up roadblocks preventing people from leaving the Bangkok area (in reality, not just saying it in the media), and stopping the super corrupt Prayuth border officials from working their franchises have been more effective than crushing millions of lives, and shutting the place down, yet again? 

Tens of thousands of soldiers could be patrolling the rivers, in boats, manning many of the border areas, or just doing something. Anything. Just don't do nothing. Earn your keep. There are 550,000 soldiers. What do they do every day? How do they earn their keep? How do they justify the massive military budgets here?

Prove to the nation that the motto "to protect the people" actually means something. Good training for the soldiers anyway, since there are no conflicts to deal with, other than the southern insurgency, which will likely never end, unless Thailand makes some reasonable concessions to a people who were colonized over a century ago.

Prayuth once again says responsibility needs to be shared. So, I ask. When was the last time he took responsibility for anything? Has he apologized? Has he admitted this happened on his watch, and it very possibly could have been prevented? Same applies to the "very weak entity" named Anutin.
