    there is a way to address that, like I said before - it's like like closing all the roads to improve road safety, you only remove peoples freedoms for so long and it has to make sense otherwise discontent will rise and stronger measures are needed and before you blink you have N Korea\China measures of control

    This virus transcends Communist leaders, mad despots and lunatic presidents , and common sense happens to be the rarest commodity on earth. Thais will congregate to party if booze is flowing. It’s not all about us expats. 

  2. No alcohol as boozing dulls the senses and is done in company. They don’t want folks congregating. Responsible. I am sure the big beer barons are not happy too. 
    obviously, Thailand too appreciates the dangers of the spread of this virus. God help the economy when it does restart. Stocks are up. That’s because the Central Banks are now buying stocks. And bonds. Zombie market! Wise to stay out . 
    well, back to twiddling my thumbs! 

  3. You are the farang status symbol. Pay up to live up to the image. That’s more important than you. Hard cold facts. 
    it’s all about appearances, esp in villages.  
    We all pay in the end. Be it a bar girl, gf or wife. 
    but if it’s ending in nasty fights, CUT YOUR LOSSES AND RUN.

    I don't disagree about parking lots, Little Boxes is one of my favourite folk songs. Buying things to impress? Do you live in Thailand?  As for smart people, I don't think it's a left-right thing which I was trying to point out. But I think the smartest folks know the reasons why the world is, and has always been, a complex mess. They don't just blame their favourite boogeyman.

    Blame is bla bla bla me me me. Something Trump does a lot when he’s not Bullying or Firing. Smart folks come in all shapes and sizes. Don’t live in Little Boxes. Lateral Thinkers. Doers. Planners. And not always rich.

    In Beijing, a foreign ministry spokesman said Payne’s remarks were “entirely without factual basis,” adding that questioning China’s transparency was unfounded and showed a lack of respect for the sacrifices of its people

    Marise Payne is <deleted> licking Australia’s strategic master at the expense of aggravating Australia’s economic master. Foolish woman! This could be done diplomatically and intelligently , if she has factual evidence or even hunches that it could be true.

    I think they're still whining because they haven't got any new answers to the questions that they've been asking for the last week or so, and feel absolutely frightened, and helpless at the potential results. There isn't a solid plan for re-opening, and that should concern every American especially in hot spots. What Trump, and some of his economic advisors like Steven Moore don't understand is that even if you open up early, and get the economy rolling again, they could actually make things worse if there is a strong second wave. It's a mess.

    The “ responsible “ Governors are Not whining. King Trump is only concerned about 1 thing. Re- election. At the cost of LIVES. And he has countless loyal subjects.
