Yes, but if you crash half the fleet in the first three months you can quickly reduce your running costs by 50%.

Looks more like something you'd see on a fetish website to me.

Somebody should explain Chaos Theory and The Butterfly Effect to the Thai government, and that both theories are warnings, not instruction manuals.
Chaos theory is an interdisciplinary scientific theory and branch of mathematics focused on underlying patterns and deterministic laws highly sensitive to initial conditions in dynamical systems that were thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities. Chaos theory states that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization.
The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state (meaning that there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions). A metaphor for this behavior is that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.
Thailand can certainly be described as a deterministic nonlinear system - I think?

Still, made it this far and still going.
Firstly, who in their right minds wants to run a couple of kilometres? I don't exercise beyond a couple of rounds of golf a week and private nocturnal exercise.
Don't want to sound flippant, but I'm blessed with good genes. I come from a long line of long living relatives on both sides, and my three much older sisters are still playing golf well into their eighties. The youngest at 81 got her 4th hole in one before Christmas.
And when asked about the age difference between myself and my youngish wife, I simply reply "well if she dies, she dies".

I think you are wrong here, he described your post as b/s. He was commenting on the quality of your statement, not on the quality of you as an individual.
You would have been reasonably correct until circa 2015.
In today's brave new world, criticizing someone's opinion is the same as criticizing them personally, and only one step below genocide - although I believe the Intersectionalists are working on rearranging the batting order.

I could give you a long answer revolving around personal sovereignty, personal responsibility, common sense, and real world observations, but as today I have to find a tax loophole that needs
buryingresolving, I haven't got the time.The short answers therefore: Well, as my hair wasn't on fire and my many employment related personality tests reveal that I score extremely low for paranoia, I weighed up all the available factors and (gulp) decided to take my life in my hands.

And that, is the whole issue with the Omicron Variant.
The numbers getting sick are huge, and of those, only a small percentage will probably need Hospital Care.
However, that mall percentage will probably be enough people to overwhelm the Health Care Services in many Countries.
Of the 600 people you say with a serious problem in Thailand, in 2 Days time that number could well be 1200, and in 4 Days 2400 such is the speed at which Omicron transmits.
There are some studies that suggest the infection rates have been 3/1 for the original, 6/1 for Delta, and 8-10/1 for Omiwan.
Doing simple math: 10/100/1000/10000/100,000/1000,000/10,000,000/100,000,000/1,000,000,000/10,000,000,000 it would appear the entire populations of Earth, Mars, and Uranus were potentially infected within about ten days. Possibly even the entire known universe!
Disclaimer: I'm apparently a blue collar anti vaxxer (with Pfizer in my T-Cells) so you should bare this in mind when fact checking me.

Yeah sorry Kuhn Tourist, you can't get on the boat unless you're wearing a mask. What? Nuh, you don't need a life jacket. Life jackets are useless against Covid.

You may of been more pleased had you not been vaccinated .
Valuable to read of peoples experience.
Actually, I strongly suspect I contracted the original strain back in February 2020 but there was no testing as the propaganda had only just begun. Similar overall effects although I did suffer some loss of taste - even vegemite was tasteless.
It could have been a Cold or mild influenza, but as I'd been frequenting gogo bars packed to the gunnels with Wuhanians in the previous month, I suspect it was the Big C (as opposed to the little c - cancer).

What they did not make clear is that a rapid test identifies a covid infection but cannot distinguish which variant it is. To discover the variant a PCR test can identify the Omicron variant via a drop out S gene, although a full sequence confirms it.
Because a Thai with English as a second language does not fully comprehend the fine distinction between the meaning of the words "detect" and "distinguish".

Umm.....so if the official word is that all current kits can't detect OmiwanKinobee, why are all the numptees running around testing everyone when a negative result could be Omiwan positive?
And by implication, if one tests positive on a test does that mean that one must have Alpha or Delta?
This is as bad as a pre-pubescent girl shopping for tampons and her first eye liner - spoilt for choice, too many brands, too many colors, too little or too much absorbency., and what's the piece of string for Mum?
Oh the dilemma of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would seem to be the next step. Followed by closure of restaurants except to takeaways.
Government officials like to "reset" things back to their last known position of maximum power and authority, a bit like system restore on Windows

Fully expected this to happen. You can kiss away any entertainment to be sanctioned for opening until June, and that may be wishful thinking. Thailand is now on a full-throttle downward dive into oblivion.
I got covid on New Years Eve after getting the Pfizer jabs last year. Don't know what flavor because I self tested, not wanting to end up in a Gulag (or even a Stalag) by being officially tested by the local Commissars.
Anyway, I've done the right thing and stayed home like a good little Comrade and done my best to prevent myself from initiating the destruction of mankind.
Now day 5 or 6, a runny nose, the odd sneeze, healthy appetite, and restful unbroken sleep. If I had to rate it against my worst case of influenza in about 1995 that laid me up for a fortnight and I lost 15kg in weight, the covid I'm experiencing doesn't even rate as a mild Cold. I'm actually disappointed.

The OP is better off buying a bridge.
Bridges invariably have a greater ROI than property and have a better depreciation rate for tax deductibility purposes.

n 2019, the share of those employed in the government sector varied among the Member States, with the highest proportions observed in Sweden (29 % of total employment), Denmark (28 %), Finland (24 %), Croatia and Estonia (both 23 %) and the lowest in Germany (11 %), the Netherlands and Luxembourg (both 12 %), Italy (13 %) and Portugal (14 %).
Do pull some more numbers out of your ass, like most blue collar guys do talk without real numbers. And look at the standard of living on Sweden and Denmark and Finland. Seems high goverment employment does not do the harm your talking about.
