    Phuket officials are under orders from Bangkok to restrict the information being made available to the public.

    They let the ( eventually ) contaminated chinese into Thailand without imposing restrictions on them . For the money that they bring , they endanger Thailand's population and the tourists from other countries .

    Than , they will not publish the actual cases of Covid 19 in Thailand out of fear that more tourists would stay away , means less money ...

    How can someone respect a government that behaves like this ? Irresponsible behavior that would lead to demonstrations against the government if it would happen in a more advanced society ...

    Israel's prime minister on Sunday hailed what he called efforts by friendly states to stop the International Criminal Court opening an investigation into alleged war crimes against Palestinians.

     

    If Israel commited warcrimes , ( and that is very possible ) , it should be held responsible for this in the same way as every other country .

    Netanyahu seems to think Israel is above international law , which is not the case .

    There is nothing that justifies to think that Israelis are ' superior ' to other nationalities .

    Thanathorn seeks more public scrutiny of Military

    “Thai people, media and politicians should be able to monitor the Army’s work and suggest guidelines for reform.”

    The one who controls the Army holds the 'power ' in Thailand , as the Army can be used to take over another ( may be ' unwanted ' ) Government in the future ( FF ? ) . To be able to change this , the constitution needs to be amended first . To do this the actual  ' rulers ' need to agree , what they will not do ... it all depends on the next election ... but , as long as the army stays obedient to the usual powers , there will be a big risk of another putsch ... it has always been like this in Thailand .

    It’s only unfortunate that they can’t be released back into the wild, since the danger out there shows no sign of abating.

    Hornbills belong here , they have been here a long time before people... but now endangered by the 2 legged predators who cut down the forests ... I see this often , they go into the forest to cut down the biggest trees to sell the wood for some money ... sad .

    Was out and about today.

    Just my imagination maybe, but people seemed friendlier and more willing to provide service.  Walked into a restaurant I have never seen before and the manager gave me a tour and his business card.  The place was empty.  Even had a friendly conversation at a coffee place with the barista. Got a foot massage very friendly they did request I put my mask on.  No problem.

    Definitely slow out there less traffic and malls I would say 1/5th their normal crowds.

    Less tourists = less stress for the workers in the tourist business = more time to take care of each individual .

    Good for everybody who stays here , but less money for businesses of course .

    Here we go, your large post is a cut and paste job of pictured and text not refs that point to nowhere. These are impossible for me to refute as I can't tell the cut and paste from your own words. Lots of unconnected claims. Go back to the original post and just include a parenthetical with source as asked. I am not going to play this oh yeah look at this game with anyone. Further, I said all is suspect without source, I stand by that, and posting and quoting from random links does not make anyone here a scientist. Original post, every claim made provide a source. Then we talk about it.

    You ask for sources ?

    I hope that is enough ...

    Of course , the data is from NASA

     

    But you still pretend to know better ?

    For all the nonsense posted as fact in this post I have only one thing to say and this is very important:

     

    Please provide exact references To include chapter, page, and paragraph for every single number you post here as fact.

     

    Until you do, every claim you make, I consider to be nothing but typical nonsense posted by climate alarmists. No discussion can even take place until you do this, and please do not claim it is my responsibility to refute all of your claims. You must provide exact source to support your claims. I view all as nothing more then nonsensical until you do

    The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

     
    Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.
    - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
     

    The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1

    Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

    The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.

    Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.3

    The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:

    Global Temperature Rise

    • The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century
      The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4 Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months. 5

    Warming Oceans

    • The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of more than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.
      The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of more than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.6

    Shrinking Ice Sheets

    • The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass
      The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 286 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2016, while Antarctica lost about 127 billion tons of ice per year during the same time period. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade.7

    Glacial Retreat

    • Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.

    Decreased Snow Cover

    Sea Level Rise

    • Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and is accelerating slightly every year

    Extreme Events

    • Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.
      The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events.12

    Ocean Acidification

    • Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent
      Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.13,14 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.15,16

    Drop by 3 mio ? Still 37 mio coming to Thailand even if there is a continuous danger of becoming infected ...?

    Keep on dreaming ... may be some hard core chinese still coming because they know that they are infected already and want to enjoy a last vacation ...?

     

    Thai tourism will crash completely if the outspread of the virus continues and more and more cases are reported ...
