Covid-19 News & Updates

To me, panic was clearing the supermarket shelves as per the European model.

I saw a few empty shelves in Europe during the first lockdown in March but I didn't see anyone panicking, they were just taking a few more of certain items during normal shopping trips as a precaution.

That isn't what was being portrayed on international news.

Anyway, that is now history, not news. I guess we should move on

Before we move on, I think it's fair to say that there was a brief spell of panic buying in the UK when the first lockdown kicked in, as reported in the news, but it didn't last long (a week or 2?) and I'm not aware of any problems since then.

[Big Boy]

Neither did I, but I used that model as it was the only panic I had been aware of.

All of the English language Press is reporting numbers of people traveling are way, way down, voluntarily. Photo shots of bus stations and the big Bangkok train station show no crowds at all and no, they haven't all left already.

Todays brief. For me, the eye opener was the cost of 2 year's health insurance for Burmese.

Of interest, it says banks will be closed, and something about fuel service stations.

Can one of our clever Thai readers please clarify?

As I understand it, all the provinces mentioned in the briefing today will not have any new year celebrations. Indeed, most places will be closed in those provinces.

But, what is stop them travelling to provinces that are still open and where events are still going on ? I.e. people from BKK or phetchaburi or cha-am could just drive down to Hua Hin.

This could lead to a mass transfer of virus around the country !!

Read above - Hua Hin is closed.

[Dannie Boy]

I traveled from Cha Am to Hua Hin this morning on the main road and there were no checkpoints operating in either direction
