Re: Information on Coronavirus in Cambodia from 8 March 2020 (Latest Updates)
There lays the biggest problem, keeping people at home is the idea to stop the spread of covid19. Can you imagine the crowds of people outside the local Khan/district office trying to get a shopping id card?Bluenose wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:30 pmMy apartment owner (lucky to have a good one) stopped by the local Khan/district office this afternoon after I asked if he knew about this, seems they are aware of the announcement to issue the shopping ID but no guidance on how to put it into practice yetnemo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:28 am District authorities to issue “Shopping” ID cards for families during lockdown
Phnom Penh governor Khoung Sreng last night ordered all district administrations in the capital to issue “shopping” cards, which will allow one member per household to go buy food supplies and other nessessities amid the lockdown.
Making the remark during a videoconference last evening, Sreng asked the authorities to be fair in issuing the cards and ensure that both shoppers and vendors follow the health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Shopping for necessities has been quite a problem since the lockdown began last week, with many people reporting they are facing supply shortage, as many markets have been closed after they have been identified as COVID-19 hotspots while travelling from one district to another, even for shopping purpose, has been prohibited.

They had better get a move on. Lockdown finishes in a week. Those cards will all be wasted!Bluenose wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:30 pmMy apartment owner (lucky to have a good one) stopped by the local Khan/district office this afternoon after I asked if he knew about this, seems they are aware of the announcement to issue the shopping ID but no guidance on how to put it into practice yetnemo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:28 am District authorities to issue “Shopping” ID cards for families during lockdown

In Myanmar, my friends had a little bucket hoist system for their apartment to the balcony/windows. I wish it was standard.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 5:03 pm Wish they had drone deliveries so I could get food delivered to my balcony.

It will be at least 2 weeks before we can see if this lockdown is working.

I come to check in after a week and see that things have gotten much much worse. I pray that everyone here is fairing alright despite it, and that everyone has a more secure situation than many of the street workers who must be suffering with difficulties affording to live now. Stay safe.

I believe we will be in lockdown for months to come since draconian lockdowns don't work. But if anyone believes otherwise, please name one place that eradicated covid with lockdowns. And don't say China because we all know they are full of shit.

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.

Agreed 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.
