thought it was to help up in the times of low income ..

If you have a 5/15 amp meter and use less than 50 units of electricity per month then  those units are free

( I'm not too sure but think  must be below 50 for 3 months before it becomes free ? )

Whatever they may be bribing other governments to not point fingers, the people in the street have discovered that China, and their products cannot be trusted

They make just about everything at the moment, their products are almost impossible to avoid ! my (small) hope is that "people" will now realise that making things (all sorts of things) instead of pushing bits of paper around,fractional banking and Ponzi schemes (well now not even bits of paper but electrons) not only makes a country more self reliant but gives the "people" a job to do,money to feed themself and maybe some pride in a job well done....+ there are too many people on the planet  some way to maintain a steady number must be found.

It is quite possible that there is no PPE available for them to wear because of "shortages".

I saw on the news this morning that they are using those very flimsy  plastic rain ponchos that motorcyclists use as PPE in the hospitals.

the Chinese will be barred immediately, probably forever.

Just before this all got "really serious"  there where a couple of  shops/restaurants   with signs baring people from China.

Then some "netizens" where outraged  and they changed  it to all "foreigners"    the netizens where again outraged and the authorities told them to take the signs down.

The letter seems to be about  getting the meter deposit back...for a 5/15 AMP meter my wife says she will receive 300 baht.

Sort of related, what happened to the Google cached version of pages ???

So much gets wasted all the time,  I think its about 1/3 even in "normal times"  !!!!  and yet there are still people starving on the streets.

he other 60 plus million that are panic buying and being selfish,

When they keep saying "don't panic don't panic"  but you must stay indoors and not goto work/put your whole life on hold to stop a "deadly" virus .. its understandable that  people panic.

However those idiots targetting NHS workers and even "bin men" ( dustmen) are very sick individuals and need a good 

"kick up the bum"  there are always some idiots unfortunately. ☹️

It was actually under Taksin 1st Jan 2006

No I believe the laws where brought in by a previous military government but where never really enforced until as you say "Thaksin" revived them  for a shortish while during some crisis  or other  I remember  they shut supermarkets and petrol stations too during that time..but the restrictions where soon relaxed again..until the latest coup.

If if they do get tested will you eat your words along with a side of crow? your attitude is highly inappropriate

If they do get tested then that's good...my "attitude" is that there has not been enough testing

( in Thailand)..and a complete disregard to foreigners in "forcing" them to  report themself at overcrowded immigration offices..other countries have  declared "immigration amnesties"     with only online reporting being required remember Thailand 4.0 ?

"but he asked the media to present only news that is beneficial to the country."

Women often/sometimes have sex with women, heard of 3 somes??

Virus is found in bodily secrections 

There are even (heaven forbid)  Thai male prostitutes  who ( I'm told) are quite popular with the Thai female  prostitutes !!!!   (allegedly as countless reports where that no prostitution was found in Pattaya)

Pattaya, the Thai epicenter of the virus. 

I think Bangkok is still the epicentre..but no doubt in my mind Pattaya not far behind.
