Hard to say and to accept it, but there isn't any way that life is coming back to "normal". Like we know it before Covid.

It's here to stay it and so are the restrictions, rising prices, vaccine or mask mandates, tests and so on. Even if you trying to ignoring it, you can't really, because it effects all of us, friends or family. And this isn't normal.  

Maybe if more people DID ignore the constant propaganga and fear-mongering, things would get back to the "old" normal whereby if we got the flu, we would spend a few days in bed then get on with life.

He admitted, however, that the number of cases examined by the Department of Medical Sciences is not enough to determine with certainty that BA.4 and BA.5 are more serious

So why not just shup up then instead of this constant "you must live in fear" b*****ks?

For the non maskers I wonder how they will view the rising cases

Seeing as 99% of Thais are still wearing them, I view it as confirmation that masks don't work ????

I agree. I still wear my mask, and would like to see others wear one also

Then do so. It's down to personal choice

You might pay a hefty fine one day .......stay in Hospital.....or long Covid.......or die even.

Is this worth?????

Yes. I might also get run over by a car or get struck by lightling. We all die sometime. I would rather live life than spend every waking moment worrying about something which I have a more than 99% chance of NOT dying from.

If you want to wear your mask forever, please feel free, but don't insist I do it. Your mask will protect you right? This obsession is now becoming a mental illness.

History tells me America was trading with Germany during ww2.

Yes, Grandfather Bush (Prestcott Bush) was a director and shareholder of Union Banking Corporation when it was cancelled by the US government for funding Nazi companies during ww2!

Consider this. An airline operator only has a finite number of cabin crew. If just one passenger, who decides not to wear a mask is Covid +ve, there's a chance that the cabin crew could contract the virus and, at the very least have to go into isolation for a week.

Wearing a muzzle does not prevent you from catching, nor passing on the virus. FACT. Look at dear Dr. Fauci. Tripple masked, 257 boosters and now tested positive for the second time in a month. Science!

Because basically all Thais wear a mask and they will look at you like an alien if you don't do it.

 

I would rather be an alien than a sheep ????

No thanks. It's over. It's a cold. But please feel free to wear yours if you want.

Tell that to the 65 people in Thailand who died of COVID yesterday

OF or WITH? Agerage age? Comormidities? Without these facts, the numbers are meaningless.

How about stopping scaring people by constantly telling them they are all going to die, locking them up, taking away their livelihoods and restricting their free speech all for something that is now no more than a common cold for most people. I think you will find their mental health will improve dramatically.

Now we are almost living normally

You are having a laugh, aren't you?

Only 111 hospital cases were having severe symptoms or on ventilation, accounting for 0.1 percent

So that other 99.9% are there simply to generate income for said hospitals, rather than allowing these people to get on with their lives, are presumably most of them are perfectly healthy.

So failure has nothing at all to do with the world's skyrocketing omicron infection rate? It's someone in Thailand's fault? Where in the world are they doing it right?

Mexico, Florida, Sweden

We need a higher rate of vaccinations first. The economy will collapse otherwise. It already is starting to in all countries.

The reason economies and health services in other countries are under pressure is not because of poeple getting sick and dying from omicron, as most of these are asymtomatic and dont even know they've got it, it's because of the madness of having to isolate for 1-2 weeks for something we used to simply take a couple of asprins for and get on with life. So basically there is no staff left to operate these businesses.
