Interesting that this obsession with something called 'freedom' (ie freedom to do whatever I like irrespective of its effect on others) doesn't occur (much or at all) in other modern democratic liberal countries ...
Only in Usofa.

They aimed for herd immunity and got the herd.
Yes, and if they survive the next few weeks they'll be immune with or without vaccine.

What we are seeing on display is the whole Thai culture ignorant of basic concepts of safety and planning. Concepts of probability are absent: Too abstract for a low-education nation.
Wait till someone dies at the dangerous corner before doing anything about it. Don't bother to mark the hole let alone fill it in till someone falls into the sewers.
The culture is, even at the highest levels, one of day-to-day survival.

It took 77 days to eliminate the virus in Wuhan. If the Thai government had put in a Wuhan lockdown last year the virus would be gone now as it is in China even without vaccines.
Nanjing is in total lockdown even as we speak.

Well, good for the doctors. Just a bit late.
I guess when everyone's moaning, it's much easier to join in. Only the brave make it to the front line.

I wonder whether Pakistan understands Thailand's interpretation of 'Free Trade'?
The question might be asked in both directions, I suspect.

"Only booster shots for MP's, government employees and Hi-So's. Sinovac is a failure and they know it. Plebs and farang miss out again. Bottom of the chain, below Soi dogs."
Sinovac is NOT a complete failure. It is, along with Sinopharm, poor compared to the better vaccines. But still better than nothing.
Contrary to what life on the internet seems to induce in people's thinking, the world is not black 'n white. Most things in life are grey.

I think the people to complain about here are the wunnerful Thai government, not the Embassies.
Would you all be congratulating the Embassies if they had turned down the Thais' hypocritical token offer? I think not.

Yes, and so beautifully worded, full of praise for His Excellency the Minister.

Hard to be optimistic about the future.

Still hiding under the bed but have started prodding b/f to begin inquiries locally here in Prasat & in Muaeng Surin. Should lead to an outcome any month now ...
Otherwise not particularly worried but am aiming to increase my visits to the gym in the garage from the current average of 2.1 visits a week to at least 3. (My reward system does seem to have broken down: Instead of a double-shot espresso after gym, I make one every morning willy nilly. Mai pen rai.)
