Have you had a confirmed case of Covid 19?
rabang replied to kwonitoy's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Twice now. Like a bad cold and then a very mild cold. I don't really pay attention to the virus itself anymore but I do follow the restrictions and reactions around the world. -
No, I never claimed that to be case but explained how it is possible to do extended stays despite not being a retiree or something similar.
-
I work online with my own business, so I can go pretty much where ever I want to if I have the necessary infrastructure (reliable and decent internet etc.). And no, I am not some poor ass "digital nomad". I know a few other professional people with their own businesses working at different fields who are also able to stay overseas permanently or at least for prolonged periods.

I dislike Christmas largely because it is the worst time of year for me in terms of the northern winter, cold and so dark. I have spent a Christmas once in the southern hemisphere and a couple of times in Thailand as well and although it didn't feel very Christmaslike I still preferred the warm weather.

It is good to know masks are are not de facto mandatory despite locals wearing them religiously, even if the faceless people create an unpleasant vibe.
-
This could be a decisive factor for me as well, especially with the flights being so expensive. I have been hoping that the masking would end and it simply doesn't feel like it is worth going to a faceless nation when one is used to a normality for several months already.

Probably at least 3 years before the Chinese can travel in significant numbers. China has just postponed some international sports championships that were planned for next year and moved them to 2025 instead. Zero covid policy will remain probably at least until the end of next year.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. Germany has been among the strictest countries in Europe with their covid rules and masking going pretty much against the recent general pan-European trend of relaxing the norms. Maybe it is that authoritarian mindset. I know their health minister (?) has been a hardliner with covid.
-
What I meant is that no need to make it mandatory anymore, especially if people are so eager to use them voluntarily anyway. Let's see what year will it be that the Thais stop using masks on a large scale, 2023, 2024 or 2034?
-
Singapore has also removed their mandatory indoor masking, with a couple of exceptions, so there is another model for Thailand to follow.
-
Yes I had. For me the only way to know the difference was the result of a home test kit.
-
Proves my point, didn't help them much.
-
Yes

Covid at this time should be treated the same way as flu, which it basically is. The initial overreaction was just massive with each country following China's example despite all the previous pandemic plans instructing otherwise. Consequences will be long lasting and might take decades to reveal.

Can’t we the public now cope with a Covid outbreak in Thailand?
rabang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It certainly doesn't make it appealing as a travel destination, especially with the soaring prices and expensive flights with fewer options than pre-2020. I am sitting on a fence here with the northern winter approaching about whether I should consider Thailand as I don't like the idea of going from normality to a faceless zombie place that I thought had been left in the past already. -
I just had it for a second time and it was less than a mild cold, gone after 2 or 3 days. But people posting all those death rates from 2020 can not have any agenda, sure they can't.
