    I think Thailand is headed toward a taste of the hurt that much of the rest of the world has witnessed.   I don't think it's anybody's fault, it's just almost inevitable when dealing with a highly infectious disease.   

     I sincerely hope not. The indifference prayut & et al show, this country could be devastated. 

     

    I prey that this stupid virus goes away. Soon.

    Krebs Cycle

     I met Sir Hans in around '75. He wandered into the clinical lab where I was working in Oxford. An odd experience, because for some reason, he was wearing pajama bottoms! He was doing animal work upstairs, but why the nightwear, I dunno. Nice enough chap, though.

     

    Met Sir Roger too. Didn't like him one bit. Very lanky & 'up himself'.

    I was teasing making a bit light fun of the situation but everyone got that.

     Yes, I knew you were joking, Rob. ✔️

     

    Couldn't insert a laugh emoji though, blasted things hardly ever load.

     

    *Laugh*

     

    Oops, seems I can post an emoji, directly from my tablet keyboard. Didn't know that.  ????

    No, it is the complete opposite of meritocracy.

     Something I didn't know, that didn't know. It Nepotism, of course.

     

    Didn't know this either:

     

    kakistocracy

     

    from the greek κάκιστος (worst) and κράτος (rule), kakistocracy means rule or governance by the worst, least qualified people.

     

    No prizes for guessing which gubmint I might mean...

    I'm guessing she has underlings to write her long reports...

     

    And like so many of them, then get praised for a great report.

     

    As an aside to the topic...if the internet in Myanmar has been cutoff, how are we getting videos of the latest atrocities?

     

    Musk should get a Starlink over the country, so we can get a much better understanding. That & a few drones.
