When “super VIP” (VVIP) customers entered the Krystal Exclusive Club, young women wearing crowns and angel wings quickly rushed out to greet them. These customers are taken to the VVIP room, which is filled with luxurious furniture. Krystal’s customers are rich people, Thai officials or business owners. For this class, the COVID-19 prevention restrictions seem to make no sense. But earlier this year, Krystal and another nightclub in the vicinity, Emerald, became the largest and deadliest outbreak in Thailand, according to Health Ministry officials. Many people related to these two nightclubs have contracted the disease, including those from the upper class. The health authority said that while the majority of Thais strictly adhere to the regulation of wearing masks and restricting gatherings, the privilege of being granted to the elites has caused the COVID-19 epidemic to re-emerge in Bangkok. . The nightclub cluster also highlights class distinctions in one of the countries with the largest wealth gap between major economies. Thailand is one of the countries with a huge gap between rich and poor. In the photo, the Khlong Toey slum is located below the tall buildings. Photo: Bangkok Post Thailand has gone many months without a case in the community. But now, the disease has spread from luxury nightclubs, which cater to powerful and wealthy men, to the slums adjacent to highways and railways in Bangkok. In these cramped areas, keeping your distance is nearly impossible. The wave of the disease has also spread to prisons, construction sites and factories. Sittichat Angkhasittisiri, head of a community in the capital’s largest slum – Khlong Toey, said bitterly: “The rich party, and the poor suffer the consequences.” There is no way the epidemic wave has penetrated Khlong Toey yet. But according to Mr. Sittichat, a man living in Khlong Toey met a friend who had attended a party at the Krystal outbreak. After feeling unwell, the man quarantined himself in his car because he had nowhere else to go. But he was able to infect three other people, causing the disease to spread in the slums where thousands of people lived. “Officials say quarantine is necessary, but that is with the rich. Our house is too small to be isolated,” Sittichat said. A boy in Khlong Toey carries a backpack to an ambulance. Photo: Bangkok Post Before November 2020, the total number of COVID-19 cases in Thailand was less than 5,000. But by the end of May 2021, Thailand recorded more than 5,800 new cases of COVID-19 in just one day. The total number of cases currently in Thailand is about 175,000 cases. “Gone are the days when the World Health Organization (WHO) praised Thailand for its campaign against COVID-19,” the newspaper said. Bangkok Post write. The resurgence of COVID-19 in Thailand is part of an epidemic wave sweeping through Southeast Asia. Thailand mainly relies on locally produced AstraZeneca vaccines. The company that makes AstraZeneca has never made a vaccine before. The “phuyai”, known as the “elite” in Thailand, can travel abroad to get vaccinated. The Russian vaccine tour costing 220,000 baht (equivalent to nearly 150 million VND) in Thailand has been fully booked until July. Meanwhile, poorer people are struggling with the epidemic. Many people have to wait to be treated in government makeshift hospitals. Mutita Thongsopa, a dairy company employee who came to Bangkok to support her family, said: “Society is very, very unequal. The phuyai destroyed the anti-COVID-19 campaign, and we, the little ones, we can’t live.” On April 27, Mutita’s older sister, Supatra Thongsopa, a 40-year-old grocery worker, arrived at the government testing center at 3am to line up. Supatra waited that whole day, then two more days later. While waiting, Supatra texted her sister complaining of fatigue and stomach problems. On May 1, Supatra was tested. The result was positive, and she died five days later. Supatra’s boyfriend, who also has COVID-19, is still being treated in the hospital. “They die like autumn leaves,” says Mutita. Although a Bangkok court sentenced the managers of two nightclubs Krystal and Emerald to two months in prison for violating epidemic prevention regulations, so far no one else has been held responsible for the epidemic. outbreak again in Thailand. Although considered poor, the people of Khlong Toey slum are an important labor force in Bangkok. They are delivery people, delivering food. Their motorbikes crept past the Mercedes lined up on the road. They are construction workers of luxury apartment buildings and commercial centers. Their market provides Bangkok with fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood. Unemployment, already high due to Thailand’s border closure, has skyrocketed in Khlong Toey. To survive, some families have had to sell vaccination cards they received as residents of high-risk areas. Some wealthy Bangkok residents have bragged on social media about buying vaccination cards from the city’s most desperate residents. Thailand today, June 7, started an expanded vaccination campaign Less than 2% of the country’s population has been vaccinated with two doses.

They all beam brightly, don’t wear masks, let alone social distance, follow New York Times. “This is the first and possibly the last dance. So I’ll enjoy it, ”shouted Nick Evans (28 years old), a legal advisor before immersing himself in the crowd. Party events in Liverpool are an attempt to test how feasible the reopening is in practice. Photo: Anthony Devlin / Getty. Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the UK in March 2020, nightclubs have remained closed. If people want to, people have to go to illegal parties. Last summer, thousands of partygoers did this, giving UK police and lawmakers a headache. However, the situation may change soon. In February, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that thanks to the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, he hopes all restrictions on social life in the country will be lifted by June 21. That would include allowing clubs to reopen, based on recent trials at Liverpool. Low risk Liverpool nightclub is the opening event of the aforementioned tests. After that, a pop concert for 5,000 people in the circus tent was also held in the city. Some scholars criticize these parties as the “human guinea pig experiment”, but scientist Iain Buchan from the University of Liverpool, who led the trial, confirmed the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK. so low that the likelihood of an outbreak is very small. “According to official data, 69 cases of Covid-19 were reported in Liverpool in the week prior to the event. The risk of having someone virus-positive there could be 1 in 5,000, ”Buchan analyzed. In order to get inside, participants must take the Covid-19 test at one of the 4 official quarantine centers in Liverpool, then upload the results to the website to link with their ticket. However, once the screening was passed, the crowd attending the party freely acted as if a pandemic had never happened. Does not require wearing a mask, social distance, even using hand sanitizer. Participants must test Covid-19 and then upload the results to the website to link with their entry ticket. Photo: Carl Recine / Reuters. “It feels like Covid-19 never existed here. It’s strange and relieved to have the mask removed after a year of doing this, ”said Aidan Crisp (20 years old), a student. Adele Schofield (50 years old), a lawyer, said: “I was a bit worried before coming. But as soon as I entered, I almost burst into tears because I saw everyone dancing like everything was normal again, ”she said. Alice Mitchell (20 years old) said the only thing that surprised her was the ban on carrying hand sanitizer. A security guard made Mitchell throw it away while drinking. Buchan says the trials are about finding ways in which clubs can reopen. This includes whether people are satisfied with pre-testing and linking results to admission tickets; follow the movements of everyone inside; Uses sensors to check carbon dioxide levels and ventilation. Many people are happy to take off their masks to party in Liverpool. Photo: Carl Recine / Reuters. In March, Dutch researchers conducted a similar experiment with the participation of 1,300 party attendees. “They only see the masks for the first 5 minutes,” said Buchan. Then everyone just threw them away ”. The UK has more than 1,400 nightclubs, according to the Night Industry Association, which represents these types of entertainment venues. Many of them were forced to lay off staff because of the pandemic. Others have a chance to reopen. Fabric, London’s popular 1,500-person club, sold out tickets for a 42-hour reopening party starting June 25. The Cause, the London club, was also close to selling out tickets for the same event that weekend. Owners of four nightclubs in the UK say they welcome Liverpool’s experimentation, but feel it needs more to reflect the different types of spaces. “We are not a warehouse,” said Dan Beaumont, owner of the Dalston Superstore, London’s famous club for the LGBTQ + community. If British clubs were to reopen in June, this would be considered anomalous in Western Europe. In Berlin (Germany), entertainment venues are scheduled to reopen outdoors this summer when dancers are asked to wear masks. On April 29, French President Emmanuel Macron said he hopes to lift most of the restrictions in the country by June 30, but the nightclubs will remain closed. Many DJs have said they want clubs to reopen as soon as possible, not just because of their work. DJ Marea Stamper said after performing at the event in Liverpool: “We went to the nightclub to dance, drink, fall in love and meet friends. It creates communities and cutting it off is terrifying ”. In Liverpool, that sense of “community” was evident at 19:30 when Yousef Zahar, DJ and co-owner of the Circus event organizer, stepped onto the stage. In the first song, he included a house tune named When We Were Free. Then, when a green light shone through the crowd, Zahar played more cards Free (roughly translated: Free) , the hit of the ’90s. As soon as the chorus “You are free, do what you want”, paper fireworks were launched and the crowd began to sing along. For the rest of the night, they will follow the song’s advice. Paper fireworks exploded in the sky, scattered throughout the exciting party space. Photo: Anthony Devlin / Getty.

Likewise, the lifestyle changes will definitely take a while to return to normal nightlife, The List identify. According to experts, bars and nightclubs are among the most unhygienic places that people visit, both before and after the global pandemic broke out. “There is a good reason for the nightclubs to be the first and last blockade in the war with Covid-19,” said Dr. Paul McKay of Imperial College London (UK). Also follow Vogue In a pandemic, going to a bar is possibly the most dangerous thing anyone can do. Nightlife probably takes a long time to get back to normal. Photo: Cassidy Anthony / Shutterstock. Although bars and nightclubs can be unsanitary places to relax on weekends, the Covid-19 does not make them disappear forever. In fact, many countries are discussing options to safely revive the nightlife. After a series of stringent Covid-19 blockades and epidemics, New Zealand was able to reorganize live entertainment, according to the report. ABC News. Notable techno clubs in Berlin (Germany) also have a short time to reopen to serve entertainment needs. However, these places were subsequently closed due to fears that the Covid-19 wave would flare up again, according to the report Vogue. However, the above cases give people hope for the future of bars and nightclubs, as well as a glimpse of the future prospects of a safe nightlife. In Germany, for example, this means no dancing, eating, or drinking in close proximity and of course, masks are required. According to the CNN , the Production Club (based in Los Angeles, USA) creates The Micrashell, the N95 body kit and helmet, which can be worn over casual clothing, which they believe that will make nightlife much safer. Miguel Risuenõ, the creative director of this entertainment venue, believes such costumes will become the prevailing trend in the coming years. They not only provide protection, but are also designed for nightclub fashions and “bounce”. House of Yes nightclub in New York City, USA before the outbreak of Covid-19.

This approach has been tested in many places, such as in Slovakia, where people dance in their own spaces outdoors, equipped with Mix Mag called “social out party”. The nightlife may never return like it was in the pre-Covid-19 era, but according to it The List, there is reason to believe the sector’s future will be safer and cleaner.
