All these numbers are highly suspect. The whole exercise has become politicised. The 'died of corona' or 'died with corona' debate has given scope for a lot of mischief.

As advised many times already in these posts just turn up on or before the due date.

During the Korean war MacArthur wanted to nuke China out of existence in order to get them out of Korea and permanently out of any future significance in world affairs. He was refused, and sacked.

I don't drink alcohol.

Players will have to disinfect their balls everyday. Another task for the caddie?

Used to be able to get them stroked in the rough. Happy days.

All those who worked on the Corona virus in the Wuhan lab have been removed or have disapppeared, and the doctor who wanted to alert the international community to what was going on has died. Chilling.

Actually, I am more bolstered by this than critical. The fact that we are actually reporting high numbers means we are being far more honest about our numbers than many other countries. Besides we are older and fatter than many other countries so have more high risk.

 

Best thing that came out of the meeting yesterday was reporters starting to ask of we will ask China for reparations, which as expected got little response

 

Yes indeed. There are a number of questions being raised by the numbers. UK death certificates are way over the top in stating Carona as cause of death. Left wing BMA are pushing this policy for purely political reasons.

On an expenditure that puts you in the top 1% globally I'd imagine you could have a great life anywhere.

A more interesting question for me would be could you say you loved Thailand and your life here if you were living on 50k a month?

Not being facetious. 

Probably not.

Disgusting beyond belief. As a fellow Brit I feel ashamed. 

Hopefully airline ticket prices will at least double at the very least.

I don't believe the numbers from Cambodia.

It's a numbers game. If they send 4 consignments and 3 are intercepted, they still make a good profit. They have tonnes of the stuff.

Correct.

Another nail in the coffin of our reputation. Hopefully we will soon be clear of all such garbage as this.

It is not law in Germany to wear a mask.

 

No federal law has been passed, only the states have introduce rules that masks are to be worn on public transport and when in shops. There are many regional variations and mass confusion. Because the evidence on masks is of course very weak. The UK is absolutely right not to bother to introduce a mask duty.

 

"The government’s scientific advisory group for emergencies (Sage) met on Tuesday to review the evidence on wearing face masks. The Guardian understands that the group is split on the best policy to adopt because the evidence is so weak."

Having looked at the evidence myself I am clear that there is not enough evidence to justify wearing a mask. I won't be wearing one when shopping in Thailand.

...therefore you will be making those around you uncomfortable. You obviously couldn't care less. Kindly go and live somewhere else.

This strikes me as pure ignorance.

 

Why not endeavor to follow a simple social norm that will help put others at ease?

 

Why feed the xenophobia and ill feeling out of a misplaced sense of righteousness?

 

For me putting on a mask to walk in to the 7 11 across the street or my local villa market comprises an entire 20 minutes of my day. 

 

What is it  exactly that puts you above all this?

What indeed. Some people are childish beyond belief.

Regularly driving Bangkok-Rayong (Baan Phe)-Bangkok. Only one checkpoint, never manned. Wife reports to the puyaiban, her friend,  in Baan Phe on arrival and before departure. No issues.
