    This was always going to be the case. If there was ever any intention or desire to open the country again, a small percentage of a large number of tourists would have resulted in new cases and then the subsequent spread would have occurred. Even with a 95% protection rate from a vaccine.  On the basis that a few new cases now will result in lockdowns and restrictions then I can see no solution in the near future...which may mean years. 

    Why would tourists who have passed thru quarantine then infect people?

    Strange ratings on this chart, if you take deaths per million most of the higher rated countries make Thailand’s totals look insignificant.

    Before anyone starts with Thailand Government figures are never true ask around to see how many know of COVID deaths, myself I have not heard of any in my area.

    Maybe not but I'd love to see the deaths attributed to viral pneumonia.

    I read the other day 38 have died this year because of dengue fever with 60.000 effected.  Many thousands die on the roads each year and little is done to curb that.  The flu takes many many people each year.  People die from diabetes, cancer, lung disease, suicide.  So,  to those in power and to us normal people death is an everyday thing, it happens everyday for whatever reason yet the Wuhan China virus is being treated differently.  Why?  Is it a power game?  Prayuths much loved emergency decrees seem to be coming every month on a regular basis now.  Honestly I am finding it hard to understand how they can destroy the economy and effect many millions when only 59 have died.

    It is precisely because they shut down that so few have been killed by the virus. All modeling both in Thailand and overseas shows if you don't shut down, the death toll will be catastrophic. It ain't rocket science.
