Ha hang on maybe scrap what I was saying earlier about "it still would be nice to be in Pattaya to get a bit of heat in the bones etc" as judging by this video of the wet weather in Pattaya yesterday courtesy of The Pattaya News perhaps the UK doesn't look so bad after all !! :-)
I went out for a walk in the UK yesterday and had to turn back due to a combination of sleet and hail. Whilst it has been fairly dry recently, that was mainly combined with cold weather.Originally Posted by Nirish guy
Whereas all these pictures of flooding tend to be showing areas on Sukhumvit road and even further out by the railway. Not the areas where I would tend to stay. Now, whilst I don't have photographic evidence, I'm fairly sure the 5th floor apartment I had wouldn't flood. Even at ground level, it's probably OK to walk to the nearest coffee shop.
An obvious question is after all the digging, drainage works and whatever else, why do they still have these flash floods ? It's almost like all they care about is channeling money into someone's pocket, rather than actually improving matters.
As for massage, well yes, if one party is infected there's a high risk of covid transmission between the customer and the masseur. Also, all the other customers who have used the massage shop that day, which is most likely zero in the current economic climate.
So I think massage is low risk, due to just one other party.
I imagine that getting a full body massage (sex or no sex) has close to the same risks as "short time sex" if the person servicing you has the virus. I've always been a huge fan of Thai massages (all types), but haven't enjoyed the pleasure for over a year now for this very reason.
Jai and I decided to take our own approach at staying safe back when this pandemic first hatched, and that approach has very little to do with what the government (province or city), or anyone else for that matter, is telling us to do. We prefer just using common sense.
If we think it's not safe to go somewhere, e.g. market, restaurant, beach, retail shopping, parks, etc., we don't go, regardless if they're being permitted to operate or not.. Simple as that. We don't need anyone to tell us what the main contributors and high risk concerns are regarding the virus, because frankly, this is something a 9 year old can understand.
9 year old's might agree with you but 19 year old's, 29 year old's and everyone in between have other priorities. They believe they are invincible and prefer to go out for fun with friends at the mall and bars and night clubs than shield from a unseen virus that the believe will have little or no effect on them. These rules are made for them.
As evidenced on this board, self preservation becomes a priority above all else for 69 year old's and above.
Ummm... it's hardly only young people not abiding by precautions. Remember the former president of the US and his cronies? Not exactly spring chickens.
Hell, just a couple days ago close to hear a group stormed police barricades and ripped them down so they could gather for church. Not supposed to be gathering for church right now, but apparently these Darwin award candidates are sure God will protect them, hence no need to worry about the virus.
