Dodging the real problemAs expected, Police Commander Suwat Jangyodsuk has transferred four senior officers to inactive posts following the gambling den saga in Rayong that is being blamed for a cluster Covid-19 infection in the eastern province. Pol Maj Paphatdet previously dismissed a report which claimed at least 36 people contracted Covid-19 from the city centre den. As of Sunday, that has grown, and at least 85 infections are now said to be related to the gambling den. Had there not been a cluster infection, the gambling den might still be operating as usual. Few have any hope that the RTP will tackle this problem.
