  1. Talks about "balances" are pointless at this time.

     

    What matters is jobs, income

     

    This will seal the fate of the THB, on the long run.

     

    The whole "open economy" (well usually in one way only in Thailand !) linked to stupid "inflated assets"... this whole charade is crumbling.

     

    Hence : we are going back to "normal", and long term trends. AKA : hardship for millions and millions Thais.

     

    -The little car, built here, and bought on credit ? Terminated.

    -The little condo shoe box bought on credit ? Terminated.

    -All the local businesses and jobs linked to tourism ? Terminated.

    -All the stupid "service" jobs (banks, offices etc.) ? Terminated.

    -All the White elephant investments ? Terminated.

    -Big governement ? Terminated.

     

    Fear, everywhere.

     

    People in Bangkok are going to suffer a lot. Upcountry ? Less.

     

    But it's important to remember that the virus is just a pretext, a cover story... The crisis was there, under, since 2008 (well even 2000, or even 1987).

     

    It's the end on a epoch.

    The workers are told to self quarantine the tourists are told sawasdee krup

     

    Come now.....A little consistency would show the authorities have at least half a brain &

    don't have one rule for income producing tourists & another for locals returning home

     

    Bingo. Spot on. Indeed.

     

    I would be a "thai labourer" coming back from South Korea, i'd do the same, and as bonus I would give the finger to whatever "authorities".

     

    This "double speak / double standard" is just unbearable.

     

    The problem is only... face as usual and prejudices. Some of those "thai labourers" are prostitutes, hence the double standard.

     

    So until the pseudo "authorities" can figure out that 1+1 = 2.... the mess is likely to continue.

     

    Close the borders, massive testing, and same treatment for everyone !

     

    Everything else is plain BS.

    I tend to give this theory some credit based on the numbers of Singapore, it's still going up in Singapore but that's to be expected.

     

    What I'm looking for is slowness as opposed to massive acceleration which seems to be happening in countries like Italy, France and Germany which are all pretty cold right now.

     

    Yes. Let's not forget.... Malaysia. A rather cold country.

    ????

    93 cases.

     

    https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/

  4. Unless they test those "suspected cases"... the whole stuff is pointless and not interesting.

     

    Thailand should do like Korea, like Italy.... MASSIVE TESTING.

     

    And it should announce the total number of tested people, and update it every day.

     

    It's the only way to:

    -assess the real situation

    -inform correctly the public

    -and eventually save more people

     

    Obviously Thailand has decided to go another way, like USA. The BS way, the "head into the sand" way, the "mai ru" way, the "pruni it will be better" way, the "spring, tom yam and prik will save us" way.

  5. (to talk about the "merits" from an economic point of view of such "decision" would be of course inane.).

     

    The reaction is always the same.

     

    It shows a state of mind. A specific way to see the world, deeply ingrained.

     

    The feudal state of mind.

     

    For any question and/or problem... let's give to the serf/peasant/slave a "token" (a bag of rice,  a picture, a medal, a coin, a 1000 THB bill etc.).

     

    Really fascinating.

    Ok. So, today there was a news conference for clarification. And, this resulted in absolutely no clarity on the issue of travel restrictions/quarantines?

     

    For the 3863763 times... they flipped, changed their mind. And lost their face.

     

    NO MANDATORY (SELF) QUARANTINE.

     

    Just a pathetic list of "risky countries", and hot air blabla.

    Period.

     

    Nothing else, like we predicted.

     

    And meanwhile, snap, bad luck... a guy coming from London (february 29) was infected.

     

    Again, it's a PR disaster for the thai authorities : they should close the borders, impose quarantine etc... But they are powerless, spineless.

     

    So we will continue to import, litterally, tourists and... the virus.

     

    Again and over again.

     

    It's sanook !

    To be fair all European countries make all the same mistakes.

    You still can come and go into/out most of Italy, Germany...

    Italians still can travel to most countries in Europe. It seems to be very difficult (or don't want to?) to shut down all borders and travel in/out from a country even with a pandemic.

     

     

    It's not a mistake.

     

    It's done on purpose.

     

    They are not in "containement" phase, because real containement goes against their open borders ideology (it's not even anymore an ideology, but a furious mental disease).

     

    They are in "mitigation" phase.

     

    Which you can translate by : "our healthcare system can cope... we will have casualties but it's okay, soon spring and warm temperature will come... the virus will die off... So we do nothing. We do not break the consensus".

     

    In a word : hope. Or wishful thinking if you prefer... ????

     

    If western governments were efficients and were having long term vision... we would know by now !

     

    Like Thailand, there are just a bunch of parasits, inane bureaucrats and crazied ideologists.

  8. Back to the inane reporting of Nation...

     

    So, like in school... "define returnees".

     

    "You have 3 hours. I'll fetch your papers at the end".

    ????

     

    To summarize. We do have a list. It has been published.

    Of course, this list is ridiculous, but mai pen rai, it exists and they will have to amend it very quickly.

     

    But a part from this list... we have nothing else.

     

    -who are "returnees" ? Thai coming back and/or tourists coming from those countries ?

     

    -what is "mandatory self quarantine" ? How it will be applied ? How it will be controled ? By who ? etc.

  9. "The message is now clear, #Thailand is open to tourists."

     

    Really ?

     

    ... excepted tourists from :

    South Korea

    China

    Macao 

    HK

    Italy

    Iran

     

    ????

     

    This thread is getting better and better.

     

    Brace for the denial of the confirmation of the denial of the confirmation... in a few hours.

     

    Ah... just printed... The newspaper we can't name... says the same thing.

     

    This list of 6 has been published. Mandatory... quarantine for tourists coming from those 6 countries.

     

    Mandatory but... Up to you. ????

     

    "Stay in ur hotel for 14 days"

    "Sure"

    ????

     

    Brace for.... France, Germany will be added in a few days (because the epidemic exploses in Europe)... So we will go back to square one !

     

    The first list of FaceBook Minister, AKA the so called "health minister"...

    1545 people are admitted in hospital and classified as PUI. So 1545 beds occupied for those.
     

    The PUI number goes up every day and all they need to do it test them, to remove them from the Corona Virus PUI list.

     

    But for some “strange” reason testing is so slow in Thailand, that this never happens.

     

    It's the thai's magic touch.

     

    It's a maelstrom. It's a kaleidoscope. It's Prayuth, it's the Watchman, it's the "health minister"... It's everything packed into one absolute mental bordello.

     

    It's Thailand.

     

    It's the country we hate and we love.
