    How about a basic first aid course. Sit the lady down, get a bottle of water, and wash out her eyes............

    Also, as poster above says...........boredom.............rotate the duty every 15 minutes or so........

    Or just ditch this whole waste of time and money.

     

    Almost 70 million people and 55 mostly older individuals have died of this virus.  Literally one in a million.

    You cannot - I repeat CANNOT - argue using facts with Trump supporters. I read the Mueller report, most of us saw the testimony given by career civil servants who dealt with this very subject, it happened. We are absolutely living in an Orwellian doublespeak existence. I just don't get the cult of personality when there is so much evidence to the contrary.

    What happened?  Russia collusion?  Not a single shred of evidence to date after years of media propaganda. 

     

    This whole thing was conjured up by a dossier that was purchased by the clinton campaign and has now been completely debunked.  The witch hunt that ensued has proven to be nothing more than a farce.   CNN and MSNBC put up shocking headlines with no evidence and people get in a tizzy.  Then when its all debunked and retracted (on page 12) people continue to push the lie.  

     

    The only thing that has happened is that the US Government has continued to get larger and kill more people.  While half cheer on team blue and the other half cheer on team red the overlords collaborate and laugh at how stupid society has gotten and how much they can enrich themselves.

     

    Pelosi says Trump is literally Hitler while pushing through budgets that give him large increases to his military budget

    Trump says "america will never be a socialist country" while increasing social programs, signing "stimulus" that increases welfare (to individuals and corporations), and pushing for family leave plans that even Obama would blush at.

     

    This November you can choose Trump or Biden but no matter who wins you will get John McCain.

  3. Governments force people to stay in their homes and then the news reports how shocking the inevitable effects are.  Offices are not being emptied out due to "virus crises", they are being emptied due to government interference.  

     

    Once all these private businesses and land owners go bankrupt, i wonder who might have the liquidity to come in and snatch it up at fire sale prices? ????

    "Facts" from some mentally deficient conspiracy nut that not even a 5 year old would believe. Put that tinfoil hat back on for the sake of all of us.

    Facts are facts, doesnt matter who is stating them.  

     

    And if you want to look at unreliable sources, feel free to start with corporate media.  CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and the lot of them have been caught time and again completely distorting the truth and outright lying to their viewers.  The same way they served you up some kool-aid to not believe anything outside the official narrative.

    Your choice. But if I walked by you & caught Covid, I'd want you quarantined for everyone's safety.

    You dont see how "quarantining" people in a "government facility" might end badly?  And in your scenario, since you walked past this person YOU would end up in said quarantine.  

     

    It shocking how people dont see how this is ripe for abuse.

    James Corbett an unabashed conspiracy theorist. please don your tinfoil hats before watching this nonsense.

    I love how you dismiss his arguments and the facts he presents by calling him a "conspiracy theorist" so you dont need to address them.  

     

    In other words, all you have is hyperbole and strawmen.

  7. Economies don't "suffer" from deflation, governments do.   Deflation is good for people and companies.  The reduction in prices means increased consumption.  It also allows for more conservator investing.

     

    Goveremts like inflation because it increases capital gains taxes not to mention only a government can inflate by printing currency which is a tax on everyone

  8. So the government shuts down the economy of 60+ million people over 54 deaths.  Then asks "the rich" to do something to help.  

     

    Too 50 Thais have a combines net worth of around 162 billion USD.  If you confiscated that entire amount and somehow managed to. iquidate it at market value (to whom I don't know since they would not want foreign ownership to many assets) it would give you about 70k Thai baht per person.  What happens when that money runs out?

     

    The best thing the rich can do for the country is reopen their businesses.

    Well, in the restaurant photo the guy is leaning over to the other side to get some food, so defeats the purpose of the screen. If two friends or a couple turn up together it makes no sense having a screen between them as they would have been in each others company before arriving at the restaurant. If it's two strangers sitting at one table, then I see the point of it.

     

    I do think we are moving into a time of silly ideas and rules being implemented, mostly not thought out very well, but the intention is good.

    none of this makes sense.  no use trying to make sense of it

    the rules are in place to prevent infections and transmission rates going through the roof ......  your contribution may have save you from getting sick .... who knows ... but it's the same in every country .

    so stop whinging .... 

    As you clicked the "confused" EMOJI i thought to clarify.  Staying inside for long periods of time weaken (misspelled above) one's immune system.  Just like your body needs physical exercise or you become weak, your immune system needs to be continually tested or it becomes less effective.    So prolonging the quarantine, some experts suggest (and i agree), will make individuals more susceptible to illness once its lifted.   Humans are not designed to be indoors for great lengths of time.  People need fresh air, sunshine, and yes, exposure to bacteria and viruses.

    No each provience has bloke with a floppy wanting to be a big boy.

     

    true, but none have power over the entire state and the more localized the power the more able the people to counter it.

    Same as the 4 areas that currently have booze ban. 

     

     4 provinces having booze bans is worse than none but better than all.

    Are you so submissive.

     

    Again, i think all of this is unnecessary/overkill.  If I was in charge i would allow individuals to make whatever choice suits them.  Provide accurate information and let people determine what risks are acceptable in their unique situation.
