Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)
Re: Information on Coronavirus in Cambodia from 8 March 2020 (Latest Updates)
Is it the lockdown? is it the season? is it just the dynamic of the virus?hburns wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:54 pm
Lockdowns have definitely had a huge effect here in UK, that's pretty clear if you look at the infections. The virus spreads by human contact so, by reducing human contact, you reduce the opportunities that the virus has to spread. Pretty basic really.
Maybe you have a better idea. If so the world would love to hear it as nobody enjoys lockdowns.
It sounds and is pretty basic that's why it's easily accepted by most of the people
Better idea?
Isolate the people with symptoms and sick & population at risk like old people
"young " people are not at risk
There is still no evidences of asymptomatic contagion so there's no need to lockdown everyone

Ah, there's the crux of the matter. You don't care about anyone else so long as your life isn't affected.Error404 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:11 pmAgreed reduced human contact reduces the spread of the virus, but with a lockdown, you are forcing people to be confined to a smaller area. That isn't exactly reducing human contact is it, plus humans are social creatures so we will still be interacting with friends and family that live in close quarters to us. And I for one am not going to live my life in fear of a virus with a 2% percent death rate, we will die from something eventually. So if you want to lock yourself in your basement and wait until this all blows over more power to you.hburns wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:54 pmLockdowns have definitely had a huge effect here in UK, that's pretty clear if you look at the infections.

And you don't complain unless it affects you and as per CEO News request, I'm done discussing this with you.hburns wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:30 pmAh, there's the crux of the matter.

Missus just showed a video on Facebook. Apparently in the video, a block of villagers houses were put under ‘quarantine’. They house has Khmer spray painted on it, indicating a quarantined house. Cops not allowing them to leave their property for any reason.
Because of the quarantine, they can’t leave their house to get money, either from their bank or WING. No money, no deliveries. And they can’t leave their house to get food, either.
The villagers are standing outside their house and appealing to the village chief and to the Commune Chief for help.
They are now penniless and starving.
‘Please help us’ is their message.
<sad>
Please stay safe out there.

I popped to the ATM yesterday and after the first machine had no money in it I took money from the next but it only had 100's in it. I had a quick check of the other machines and they were the same. Just 100's. If they stop people working in banks and the ATMs are depleted of cash that will cause problems for the middle classes I am sure.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:58 am Missus just showed a video on Facebook.

If gold sellers/buyers are not working people can't even convert gold to cash. And if they are able to the buyer will almost certainly be buying in at less than market value.
People will not forget this and the next election will be interesting. Of course, there is the possibility that the CPP will postpone the next elections because of the virus and the fact they know they are going to get hit hard at the ballot box.

Election?
Hard to have one when there is no viable opposition party.
It will be the CPP and a couple of the token "opposition" groups that are partially funded by the CPP itself to prop up the appearance of free and fair 'elections'.

Against who?

Anyway, the election is not for 2 years and if this pandemic is still raging this place would have unravelled by then.
