The TGIA insurers that can provide thai IO-approved health-insurance policies, only cater for those retirees over 75 years of age that subscribed to such policy before reaching that age.

Thank you.

Taiwan. Loved it but 7 days wasnt enough. Looking to back when we can! lots to do and see, clean everywhere. great mrt in Taipei. Friendly courteous people.

Taiwan is a great place. Lived and worked there for 6 years. Love it.

I'm a Brit. I had 2 very good farang friends here for many years, an Aussie and an American, sadly both now dead. I have 1 very good Thai friend, and for 35 years one very good, very lovely Thai wife. I count my blessings.

They were so popular in the UK and all over the world. They have thrown it all away. Time to grow up, fast. 

Is there no health insurance at all, anywhere, available for the over 75s ? I assume not, but just wondered if there may be.

I hope they do that. And I hope they will get lots of new corona cases. Because maybe then, finally, will some of those Trump supporters understand that there is a reason for the closures.

But then again, these people shut their eyes for 3 years so there is not much hope they will wake up anytime soon.

The lockdown policy is a disaster and will hurt the lives and livelyhoods of millions all over the world for many years.   Mass infection, brutal as it is, is the only way to go.

Agree with many of the foregoing comments, although I reckon Trump will easily win in November.

The season must be finished no matter when that may be.

The killing and eating of animals by humans is disgusting, demeaning, cruel and unhealthy.

Bye, bye. Don't come back. 

No chance. Large published reserves, massive hidden reserves. Nobody in high places gives a toss about tourism, which is only a relatively small part of the Thai economy.

I doubt that the Baht will be going downhill as all other economies are just as badly off, the status quo will remain as it is.

Agreed. The baht won't be declining much, if at all. Thailand is in much better shape than it was in earlier crises. It doesn't have large loans in foreign currencies, and it's reserves, also in baht, are substantial.

It calms me to see a man the caliber of Cumo in the hardest hit state taking responsibility dealing with the pandemic with trump juggling all that and still giving that sense of command and leadership kudos sir to you your state and your plan although I’m not sure it’s possible to trump proof anything lol good luck sir and thank you for beeing an example of calm smart and outstanding leadership 

Cuomo has made a real mess of handling the corona crisis.

I still want to know the name of the smart ass, puerile, idiot farang who turned down the offer of a mask from Anutin in front of an assembled crowd and on TV. A lot of trouble has come our way as a result.

Good move....and a vote winner. At this point I can't see anything other than a big win for Trump come November.

Disgusting. Lock her up, throw away the key.

My wife does mine, using hair clipper and scissors. Result variable.

.....or lower if you subtract those who recovered, and those who would have died from other causes anyway. Broadcasting and print media not interested. They just  want panic.
