    You have to question the validity of some figures from other countries. Of the cases with CV19 the death rates vary from 1% to 16%. I can believe that strict safety measures will stop people getting Covid but why such a difference in death rates once they have it. Death rates of those WITH CV19 :-

     

    USA 5%

    Russia 1%

    Belgium 16%

    India 3%

    China 5%

    Pakistan 2%

    Brazil 4%

    UK 14%

     

    They are obviously fiddled.

    The USA comes out fairly well, the same as China !!

     

    No doubt that each country has different way of reporting of mortality rate but how death counts due to covid-19 are the same in all countries. Sarah Caul head of mortality analysis at ONS explained this well.

     

    "The issue us not really about right or wrong but about each source of data having its own strengths & weakness. This is not necessarily a source of discrepancy between most countries though as many are counting deaths in the same way. Italy counts any deaths of  patient who had covid19 as a death caused by covid19; so does Germany and Hong Kong".

    I can make sense.  The people that are hospitalized are not healthy and have very weak immune systems.  It's not rocket science.  

    No it doesn't make sense. New highs for hospitalization are for corona virus infections. Those who are not healthy and with weak immunity and not infected will probably don't need hospitalization. See not hard to be intelligent and make sense of the obvious.

  3. 1. Under Section 30 of the Labor Protection Law, an employee who has worked continously for 1 full year is entitled to annual leave of not less than 6 working days. (depending on the job, I gave 7-12 days annual leave)

    2. Employees are entitled to national holidays and if they work, overtime compensation to be paid at rate of between 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly rate (there are 2 kinds of holidays - national and government. Government holidays are up to company to give. I don't)

    3. Under the Social Security Act, incorporated companies mandated by law to provide social security which can be used for government hospital (only ages between 15 to 60)

    4. All employees are entitled to unlimited sick leave but number should not exceed 30 regular workdays per year. Employee can insist employee to produce med certificate from qualified doctor for sick leave of 3 days or more (I insist on med certificate to be produced. If not, I treat as annual leave)

     

    I hope the information will be helpful. I have a incorporated company in Thailand since 2006.

    All of a sudden people thinks what KC said matters, please understand my views are held by more than a few.

    Views are shared by few and mostly his base. KC's corrected herself after Trump's double down. That's the nature of Trump's surrogates who will bend to new lows to be in line.

    Does that include the rioters illegally toppling statues as they see fit? 

    To state that it is illegal, you got to state the law. Even the little known Veterans' Memorial Preservation Act only contain loosely-connected provisions for grave desecration and destruction of federal property. Something that Trump loosely threaten and lack concrete substance.
