    Too many people with a vested financial want things open too fast. 

    Yea, let’s see starve to death, lose your livelihood, and commit suicide, like so many have, or ride out a virus with a 99.9 survival rate. 
     

    friend went to the doctor for seasonal allergies which he gets every year, found out it’s not allergies its covid!  Everything is covid.

    i'm going to bet against his forecast.  the death numbers will be below 100/day in october.  death numbers can be hidden but they are far more reliable than cases.  so the death numbers will be better, not the same or worse.  the case numbers are meaningless due to the weak testing program.

    I’m sure you will find a little corona crit in everyone, if you don’t just turn up the cycles until something shows up.

    From what I remember the projected figure was a lot larger, and it didn't include imported AZ

    If it’s just a big conspiracy, and there are no problems with a so called vaccine which has yet to be approved by the FDA, why have a Government agency dedicated to reporting adverse reactions to vaccines?  You want to be a giuena pig, in the biggest vaccine trial, go for it!

    You are playing with numbers to create incorrect scenario. Deal with the facts not with numbers you take out of context.  In 2019, there were approximately 4400 suicides. Thailand has  the highest suicide rate in SE. In late 2020 one article  in a questionable media outlet stated that suicides in the first half had increased to approximately 2500 from 2100 for the same period. Fine. Sad that there is an increase but hardly significant  in the overall scheme of things. More importantly, there was no conclusive evidence that this was due to Covid19  economic issues. To be certain, the deceased would have to leave a note or give reason, yes? And most suicides do not.  You have no idea if the increase is due to economy or because of general fear or  mass hysteria, but instead you make guess and offer it as fact.

    Worse is that you try and pass the full 2500 as due to Covid economy crisis which is NOT the case.

     

    Here is where you  put ball in your own net;  You make false conclusion about Thai economy. Yes, the tourist trade has collapsed, but the rest of the Thai economy has remained strong. Manufacturing,Third party services, agriculture, food processing  has all continued and even expanded.   The unemployment rate is lower today than it was  10 years ago.  The official unemployment rate as of December 2020 was 1.49%  The unemployment rate in 2001 was 3.3% and at the start of 2020 before Covid19 took hold it was 1%.   Most of the people who lost their jobs were foreign workers. Hundreds of thousands of them went back to Myanmar and Cambodia.  yes the unemployment rate increased, but the 1.49% is still considered to be a state of under employment and Thailand still has  a labour shortage.

     

    Some years ago when I remember reading how  many in Thai Visa were blaming Thai government for farmer suicide because of rice  purchase scheme. All sorts of claims were made that  government made thousands kill themselves. it wasn't true then, and it is not true now. Thailand has a serious mental  illness problem and these suicides are troubled people who have been living on edge for long time. Yes, some people have killed themselves  during the Covid19  crisis, but it is not as bad as you  make it to be.

     

     

    Thailand’s alarming suicide rate. An inside Asia documentary.

    Great, then perhaps you could clue in the rest of the world since you seem to know better... tell us where COVID-19 originated, I'm sure a crowd of people will beat a path to your door. Nobody else seems to know where it originated...

    It’s obvious isn’t it?  I wonder how many world wide pandemics have arisen from the 1000’s of wet markets in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos?  Why do they always come from China?

    Now that the angry, bitter old man is gone, America can elect a decent, honorable, smart, and very capable leader, who may be able to bring the nation back from the brink of isolation. Biden will make a good president, and he will bring back some dignity the office, after years of P.T. Barnum. Trump already lost the election. Covid knocked him out in the first round. 

    Except his approval numbers went up. Good theory though.
