Pdoggg Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 From the article Dukey quoted above by Adam Judd who is in some of Nick's videos. Quote This effects ALL bars, cinemas, sports venues, karaoke bars, nightclubs, gogos, beer bars, massage parlors, Gentlemen clubs, etc. This is regardless of the size of the venue or bar. It is NOT an alcohol sales ban which is still available from stores. It does NOT effect restaurants, malls or shops which may stay open, but must ensure proper hygiene measures and at least one meter between patrons. The Pattaya News notes this is also NOT a lockdown, people are free to move about as normal, it is merely a proactive closure of places that have mass gatherings and potential close contact of others. The order is meant to increase social distancing between people and prohibit large events and groups of people temporarily. This historic decision essentially will put one of the world’s biggest party cities to sleep for two weeks and put tens of thousands out of work temporarily in a city that depends on the nightlife industry for over 80 percent of its revenue. https://thepattayanews.com/2020/03/17/pattaya-to-close-all-entertainment-venues-such-as-bars-nightclubs-and-massage-shops-until-the-end-of-the-month/ My teerak's massage shop was not notified of the closure yet but I don't think "massage parlors" refers only to soapies but suspect it also applies to mainstream massage joints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I know in China they are researching Kaletra as a possible therapy ..and other HIV drugs... maybe some news in three months. It seems like Tamiflu has been tried but the molecules dont slot together ( whatever that means) something is better than nothing and it is no vaccine but better than a paracetamol ( when its declared ok) I think panic buying has started on some of these potentials 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Chinas (nor Koreas) official numbers for a second, which unfortunately very much affects other asian countries, probably most of all Thailand. I saw the masses of chinese tourists in Patts 2 months ago. According to media the worst place to be now is in Europe, and I disagree with that too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a different view of how to fight this thing, but the main goal is of course to prevail. Lets hope we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My cousin, her husband and kids arrived back today after 5 days in London. They were told in Dublin airport to self isolate for 14 days when they get home as a precaution. My uncle arrives back tomorrow for his cut short trip to California, will be interesting to see if he is told the same thing, probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 UK PM advises Brits not to make unnecessary trips abroad. London is really quiet, people working from home where possible. Restaurants and pubs empty, theatres and cinemas are closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The bar next door to where I live is open but I have a feeling that tonight is the last night. One ladyboy works there and a good source tells me she is fairly well hung. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 One of our broadcasters, Ciara Kelly has a daily show on Newstalk here in Ireland and her show in on from midday to 2 pm. She has announced today that she has it now. She is broadcasting live from her house as I type and said she will talk the nation through it day by day as it develops and eventually goes. Now the thing is she is a qualified medical doctor, she changed career path a couple of years back to concentrate full time on broadcasting. She said this morning she has been diligently cleaning her hands for the past few weeks, along with taking other precautions and has not been abroad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not many, ie 99 % of the people here are not wearing masks. The experts have been saying they have limited use unless the person wearing one has the disease, as no doubt we have all heard by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GP has been in self-isolation since the weekend and was among 69 new cases diagnosed in Ireland yesterday. “For me, it felt like a bad flu, I had a sore throat, and a tightness and burning in my chest. “I was a bit short of breath. And I was very tired, a bit dizzy and a bit wobbly when I stood up,” Dr Kelly said.” https://www.independent.ie/world-news/coronavirus/dr-ciara-kelly-i-have-coronavirus-39054966.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
