    my angle was that a plane is built to fly...

    if it is left non flying, it slowly dies.

     

    Hence the even higher costs in eventually 'restoring' it back to full flight status. Many deeper levels of maintenance require the serviced aircraft to fly, as part of it's post-maint checks... 

     

    these aircraft, flying one or not, still get basic Servicings, so there will always be Costs anyway. 

     

     

     

     

    I think the airline industry will have a very different look about it when this all over. Higher prices and less flights may be the new norm.

    The real problem is the people will not lock themselves up for 14 days and have to go out and visit all their friends and relatives spreading the virus

    Self isolation is the next step and unless their is compliance and serious policing it will mean nothing. Contact tracing is also a critical tool and will require a diligent, motivated and committed army of workers to trace down anyone known to have had contact with carriers and be sure they isolate themselves for 14 days. Not sure you will get a high enough level of participation within the population for this to be successful. I hope I’m wrong. Time will tell.

  3. My wife who had worked in the health system for 25 years has told me that EVERYONE on her FB group were absolutely irate over his comments and were calling for his head. Not a single person defending him. She was so upset herself she had to do 20 minutes of meditation to settle down. Slowly she is realising Mr P and his ministers are not governing for the country and that they are only concerned about themselves. I’m surprised it’s taken her so long but slowly she is seeing them (gov) for what they are.

    Why are the Embassies not making protests to the Thai government on this serious matter?

     

    Instead they are merely scuttling around to provide Immigration requested paperwork, rather than firing back at yet another example of completely unnecessary red tape.

     

    Yes, I am looking at you, the British and US Embassy.  Once again you are failing your fellow citizens. 

     

     

    Because they charge a hefty fee to supply these letter$

    That's been pretty apparent for some time... But good luck in getting the government to admit to that failing.  He may be an infectious disease expert. But the government is expert at leaving the barn door half open months after the horses have all bolted.

     

     

    And the front door which opened onto Xi Ping boulevard.

  6. 400,000 translates to 0.6% of the population. Many countries are predicting 20 to 60%. Why the huge discrepancy? If these figures could be used in Thailand then 400,000 is the possible death toll at the top level assuming a 1% mortality rate. 

    400,000 may be the number of diagnosed victims but the real number will be much more than that.
