News Forum - Restaurant alcohol sales, tightening quarantine on CCSA agenda today

[Thaiger]

It’s an all-too familiar scenario at this stage, and one that will have restaurateurs and others in the hospitality and tourism sectors putting their heads in their hands. While we must emphasise that nothing is confirmed yet, the CCSA meets today to consider a number of tough curbs proposed by the Public Health Ministry. Based on Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s proposals, there could be a tightening of the quarantine system and the sale and consumption of alcohol in restaurants could be banned (again). A lot of people will not be happy about that last recommendation, particularly bar owners and nightlife […]

The Wuhan virus is the gift that keeps on giving ……is a titanic understatement apparently.

Yes, a smart idea, close everything even if they have no rates of infection for a virus that is weakening each week, and a virus that had a 97%+ recovery rate from the start over two years ago. Like the Chinese inspired state of Australia, run by buffoons who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, stop killing your Nations and just learn to live with these viruses as mankind has done for millenia. Over two years this has been going on, and I for one haven't even had a sniffle, let alone know anyone who has acually caught the dam thing. If it was indeed a Pandemic like the Spanish Flu was, I think by now the fatality rate would be in the hundreds of millions, but it is not, the numbers are no different than each Seasonal Flu, which has for some unexplained reason, disappeared for a couple of years, fancy that hey?? Lockdowns are ridiculous as is any government who implements them.

Ban all sales of alcohol immediately, nationwide. No special zones, just complete prohibition. It's time this demon drug was removed from society once and for all....

Wouldn't affect me much, but sort of drastic IMO. It would be better to limit alcoholic drinks that accompany meals. 

A bottle of beer with a meal would be OK, but might not be enforceable. Probably best to not serve alcohol.

This would but the fake restaurants out of business.

Sorry for the crude lines but approximate start and stop of last “ban” which of course had no relationship to actual infections. 
 

As the old saying goes, insanity is repeating the same thing over again and expecting a different result.

Anutin incompetence and stupidity are limitless !

It's inevitable. Same leadership, same outcomes. Not surprising.

I'm not defending it, but it would appear from the graph that the prior lockdown produced the desired results (at least that's how the gov would likely spin it). Just to be clear I do not support covid lockdowns. I have a girlfriend, and we don't drink alcohol, but we still like to go out.

These actions will achieve nothing meaningful...this isn't Alpha or Delta....it's Omicron. So the responses that worked last time, won't work this time. The sooner The Thai Government realises that and actually looks at what is and has happened in oither countries, the sooner a more measured response can be implemented.

What does the selling and drinking of alcohol have to do with any covid variants ffs?? Like that idiot in Western Australia, Xi XingMcGowan, bans dancing at weddings, yet allows people to attend the New Year Races where they will yell and scream and jump around like school children watching the horses race down the home straight. meaningless and pathetic leadership in a pretend crisis.
