Mommy I was trying to see what a "domino affect looks like" but the manager said I can only have 50 pieces?

Where can you buy a mask should you require one? every pharmacy and 7/11 dont have any, this is in a major city, even though the in control soldiers in suits promised availability of millions nationwide.

The government has meddled with the supply chain from manufacturers to shops so that they can hoard them then hand them out & look good in the nations eyes!

One Chinese woman went stir crazy on a Thai Airways flight and deliberately coughed on a female flight attendant to try to pressure staff to open the doors and let her out

Some peoples egos are bigger than their brains.. you might get off early, but go straight to jail!

One would hope that with all official events cancelled and perhaps a ban on the water tankers and suchlike then any public enthusiasm would dissipate and people would just enjoy their time off.

Stay at home with a few beers and a BBQ would be a more advisable official notice..

They will be subject to Thai style scrutiny at the Korean airport which is only right, the Thais are doing it to the Koreans.

When they report to Korean immigration passport details etc will be entered into their system, illegals will not be going back to S.Korea anytime soon, Korea is saying this is your last chance to leave.

Post amnesty anyone stupid enough to still be an illegal will find life very hard if caught!

A shortage of face masks due to the COVID-19 outbreak has affected heathcare workers in hospitals around the country. The health ministry is working together with the commerce ministry to deliver medical msks to those institutions in urgent need.

Maybe the government should stop hoarding them to hand out freely and allow manufactures to deliver to the normal supply chain?

Perhaps we should assume that given their chosen profession and lifestyle, they're not exactly accustomed to staying quietly at home, and are more accustomed to going out eating and drinking and XXXXing, preferably paid for by someone else.  

Very eloquently said.

In a strange way Thais are drawn to status, when a "labourer" returns from overseas work they are an object of interest at home.
They have been working hard in the field and earning no-doubt good money, some of which I guess was sent home each month to help mother run the home and pay for younger siblings to go to school.

Back at home they have stories to share about toiling all day and night to make money.. and with some spare burning a hole in the back pocket they are expected to go out and flaunt it around.. not stay at home playing FB in the cyber world.
