I think the answer to that is for the Farangs at least, they've all been vaxxed and that confers super-powers on them. I bet when they get home, if you removed their outer clothing, you'd find them all wearing their underpants outside the next layer of clothes.

Very, very fair - that should have been the first step, not bars vs restaurants.

Yes the figures in Phuket are disturbing. Doubling in a week! I'm not going there for the nightlife. For me and my partner,we'll be keeping as far away from Bangla road as possible.

Not good start to opening up Thailand and surely not good start to potentially open all nightlife

If you're referring to the nightlife, vids like this have only been posted for about 4 weeks.
