The reason it was deleted (I’m guessing) is because they get so many Covid posts. There’s a dedicated thread for that.

But yes, it’s heavily moderated but has relaxed recently because the “newcomers” (Sihanoukville) outnumber them now.

That fat ginger guy likes to get up people using the noticeboard login but not his own.

No masks, shirts or helmets.

And rubber baron. There’s many cases in Kep and all over Kampot now. Covid doesn’t know boundaries.

There is not a single documented Covid infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past someone on a street or eating at a nearby table.

How would anybody know where or when you got infected ?

The linked article is informative.

Paywall blocked, unfortunately. Says I've used up my free articles. And this is July 2. Anyway, thanks for the link.

While I agree that the chances for an outdoor infection are near nil I see these Western people being close to Khmer shops selling, fruit, drinks, etc., even buying stuff. The case of that psycho in Kampot comes to mind. The high cases originate mostly in the Kompong Trach area near the VN border with the casino there. Khmer people are scared of contracting it but still act rather carelessly. They travel to see family in Kep, Kampot, and elsewhere, with the high probability they carry the virus unbeknownst to them. Therefore, I am amazed that so many Westerners don't seem to give a hoot, interacting with Khmer the way they do. Just go to the old section of town. The small foreign-owned restaurants all have Khmer staff who might have relatives in the Kompong Trach area. I always thought Kep had only a few cases throughout the 2 years so far and was really surprised to read that it has had 132 altogether. That number has risen over the last 4 - 5 months, with 32 here, and 12 there, etc. That can't all be from Phnom Penh.

Kampot’s Covid-19 cases surpasses 1,600 with 138 new cases
