Alcohol  based  hand cleaners are less effective than a simple  bar of cheap soap and water. Feed the  frenzy  fools!

Yes, that is the medical advice in Oz as reported in this week's newspapers. Use good ol' soap, either solid or liquid, and wash carefully for half a minute. Does the job better than sanitizer.

But of course you still need a sanitizer in bottle for when you're on the move - atm, BTS, border entry ...

Superannuation is for the long term. Don't draw on your stocks while they're low. That's pretty basic.

After the initial introductions & settling down period, they'll learn first to play together without harming each other, then will end up all comfy & snoozing together at night & best of mates. That's the norm.

Pouring down here in Prasat now. Coming straight down, no wind. Lovely.

Weeds are smiling. Lawns still in bed, scratching their collective bottom and wondering what's happening ...

Spring on the way soon ...

Going to be fascinating to watch the subcontinent 3: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. No quick'neasy there, I shouldn't think.

Firing squad at dawn would send a message.

We received our first rains since September last. Started about 10 last night and stopped about 5 this morning. Kap Choeng/Surin????

I was sound asleep but my b/f says only 2 hours in Prasat.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh - together they'll make Wuhan look like a Sunday School picnic.

Presumably ordinary letters just pass unnoticed through the holes in the system ...

Thailand. Disaster prevention an unknown concept.

Disaster recovery a specialty.

I remember on 2 occasions in Canberra many years ago when, after long months of drought and the air filled with dust, rain fell as mud - thick & sticky. Cars outside were covered in it and you had to wash the windows carefully because there was no way you could see through the windscreen.

The only good news in this piece is that Anutin Chanvirakul was not quoted or mentioned once.

Good work, that man. Carry on.

I wasn't here in the Thaksin days, and people go on about how much of a free lunch it was for the Government in his day.

This lot currently are the worst i've seen in all my days from.any country. Can anyone who knows take a stroll down memory lane and say if Thaksin's were even a patch on this lot?

I wasn't around then either but it's fairly clear that, as with almost all governments everywhere, some good things were done, and some bad. Thaksin himself clearly had & has a brain however.

Can't help noticing how quickly they can do the CV test when 'tourism' is at stake. Everyone else has to wait a week or 3, by which time they could be dead but still 'unconfirmed'.

Looks as though the Thai government has been consulting with Iran on how to manage matters.

And here was I thinking that Thais are pretty good at keeping up appearances, never mind the substance.

But no, it turns out that the guy whose job it is to manage the crisis can't even make himself look good.

You're kidding about the gloves right? You can't get fingerprints thru gloves.

Ever heard of irony?

 I wonder if 'universal' means, you know, universal. Guess I'll find out when or if my turn comes.

If you live in the provinces it's quite easy to keep other animals at a distance.

Loving to work 20 hours in every 24 7 days a week would be a dispositional requirement, I should think.
