Assoc. Prof. Theera proposed the government to adopt “Regional lockdown” measures for 2-4 weeks with a 100% masking policy to stop inter-provincial travel. Block the outbreak of COVID
Assoc.Prof. Teeraworathanarat, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Commenting on the COVID situation in Thailand and measures to prevent the outbreak of the government through Facebook. With some content as follows
We will see an epidemic that is very different from the first wave. Because it spreads quickly everywhere, not limited to vulnerable groups But spread to the community It was found that there was an infection in the family. Is caught from home parties between friends And in the workplace in different ways
Therefore, we must strictly protect ourselves well. Always wear a mask Meeting fewer people Use it online instead. Such a severe epidemic is not a time to meet and socialize.
What the state needs to do is “Do what you should do And do not be assertive to do things that should not be done “
What you should do is Stopping the movement back and forth both between provinces And within the province where there are cases of infection With a short 2-4 week regional lockdown on unnecessary travel, with a 100% masking policy and clearly declaring it as a “stay at home, stop infection for the nation” policy, don’t hesitate to think for themselves. Manage each other in each province
It is clear that the response to this repeated epidemic Lack of unity and confusion that various nicknames have been given to government agencies. Whether it is working in “Knowing and changing” or even an era of “reversal” measures, which will be difficult to achieve confidence and unity. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the military process and management. To win this battle
In the meantime The state must not fall for the first graders. Going up against certain policies or measures that don’t make sense Especially the idea of looking at the budget. And will not take care of illegal people Whether gambling Or smuggle into the city
At a superficial and shallow look, you might see that this idea makes sense Because doing good should be good Doing bad should not help.
But if you do as you think It will cause a very serious, very serious problem. Because people in the dark will even hide in the dark, do not show up, do not tell information, do not go to check even if they are sick. Until we know each other, it will spread to many people in the country. And the risk of infection among healthcare workers in our health system
Caring for people in the dark corners of the infection needs to be done. Not just because they follow ethical and humanitarian principles to save their lives. But the main reason that you cannot miss it is Care to cut the epidemic cycle Prevent it from spreading to other people in society This is “investment for protection”, not just an aspect of wasting money, treating others
The “buy to sell” look and the “strategic” look is different.
Therefore, policy makers must have important qualities in strategy. Not having the skill of buying and selling
National policy decisions require a counterbalance mechanism. And scrutinize thoroughly Before being announced for implementation Otherwise it will affect everyone in the society.
