I believe they have been training for the last 50 (odd) years in preparation for the subs to finally arrive !

will drop the world's population by a couple of billion souls thus making a cleaner, more livable planet

There are certainly too many people on the planet at the moment,some way of limiting the population has to be found..if humankind doesn't do it then mother nature will.

Any that have damaged their lungs by smoking or other ( glue sniffing? ) are obviously more at risk, but the sheer numbers would make quarantine difficult.

How about all those poor sods in many provinces  with yearly  crop,forest and rubbish burning causing  some like Chaingmai to have the worst air quality in the world for months.

Smokers (and glue sniffers ????) choose to do it.

Remember to put  the face mask over the snorkel in/outlet and not on the chin.

it seems the russians have gone now

or maybe they have all finish their paperworks?

They probably had been sent away yesterday because there is a new emergency immigration office opening at Pattaya Number 7 school..but in the meantime  (yesterday) "the democratic soldier" signed an order that might mean the Russians  don't have to  renew anything after all

So you need to present this form and other copies each time you enter / leave

Yes better make quite a few copies..and invest in some paper making company stocks/shares. ????

My wife  commented about this today,she said lots of drivers had quit because they  had no insurance in case they caught the virus..I have noticed a lot less  delivery vans around my area, used to see at least 2-3 per day.

And 5 A is the nominal value for accurate measurement. Up to 15 A peak possible.

I understood that the 5/15 AMP meter was calibrated  to give accurate reading within those  2 figures

but could withstand quite a few more AMP's  before being destroyed..obviously the meter reading would not be accurate at much higher power consumption.
