Rayong governor releases letter in English, rejects Chonburi or Bangkok style closures due to rising Covid-19 cases, says why should we destroy the economy and close thousands of businesses, putting tens of thousands out of work, over cases (mostly asymptomatic) in factories and markets? For now, Rayong will keep most business open, unlike Chonburi. Your thoughts? Is this the right approach?


I wonder if the Rayong Governor has been reading any of my posts 

Also something I saw yesterday below ...I like to read the comments

Thailand?s Department of Health advises people wear face masks during sex 

Thailand's Department of Health has come up with nine measures to limit the spread of Covid-19 through sexual practices.
Couples and lovers should refrain from face to face contact and wear face masks.
There should be no kissing or oral sex, no group sex and cleanliness should be a priority.
The departmental rep responsible for sanitation and sex Dr Pheerayuth Sanugoon spoke to Daily News at the weekend after a young prostitute in Kanchanaburi tested positive raising concerns of a cluster.
Dr Pheerayuth said the issue of safe sex practices was especially important during the pandemic as the consequences for people, their partners and society in general can be serious.
People waiting on a test result should refrain from all sex, for example, and all pay-for-play should be avoided.
Indeed, sex with strangers at parties could constitute an illegal gathering and be prosecuted under Article 9 of the emergency decree. That means fines and even prison.
Restrictions are in place stopping gatherings.
Dr Pheerayuth said that husbands and wives and lovers could still have sex, but they needed to follow nine protocols, which included washing hands and body with lots of soap before and after sex and no kissing or sharing of saliva as this has been shown to contain the virus.
Wearing a cloth mask over a surgical mask covering nose and mouth securely was also advised, as practicing safe sex such as wearing a condom reported Sanook.

Would masks have the same effect as the good old fashioned " beer goggles"? 

I would think they would advise condoms too. Seems to be a rising number of teenage pregnancies, if my wife's village is anything to go by.
