Curfew News and Updates

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What do you guys think will happen?

Extension of lock down as is for another 2 weeks?

A cessation of lock down for non red zone areas?
Hmmm, not looking good now...

Unofficial report from KhmerTimes and in Telegram disclosed that Cambodia is expected to announce the highest single-day spike of COVID-19 cases today, more than 650 cases and counting nationwide and more than 500 cases in Phnom Penh alone.

Maybe the pre lockdown panic shopping at the markets is now showing up.

when every single person they are concerned about has had their second dose of vaccine and a further 3 weeks have elapsed so it can do it's job. At that point they might just say, "fuck it, get them all back to work".
and they can probably just fabricate the case numbers to support the decision
or just stop testing

Two weeks more lockdown is what will be announced, as most people can rationalise and cope with two week event horizons.
Two months is the minimum it will end up being.
Two years is possible, given the experience in much of the world.

Yes, then we would simply enter the realm of Descent-based slavery:
Descent-based slavery describes a situation where people are born into slavery because their ancestors were captured into slavery and their families have ‘belonged’ to the slave-owning families ever since. Slave status is passed down the maternal line.

Are they still vaccinating people? The news has nothing on it, did they run out? That's the only way to stop this thing. My bet is a curfew for months and no ALCOHOL maybe ever again. I hate to criticize our hosts but they really don't know what they're doing. This thing could easily destroy this country.

Two years lock down? We're only about 15 months into this Covid disaster. Impossible that anywhere in the world has been locked down for 2 years already.

8% of the population have gotten at least one jab, Thailand and Vietnam are both well under 1%.

Many countries, West and and East, celebrated the first anniversary of "two weeks to flatten the curve", or "fifteen days to flatten the curve" a little while ago.
Would a betting man bet against making two years of lockdowns in many of those counties?
