    Vaccinated people are less likely to be infected by covid so if you do get infected by somebody it is much more likely from somebody who is unvaccinated.

    Nonsense as the biggest part of society is vaccinated but still can infect other people.

  2. I live in Thailand, I am married to a Thai woman and we live together with her two daughters aged 13 and 15. Now we decided 2 years ago to place the children in a better school with the expectation that they will receive a good education. What describes my surprise, after 7 months of sitting at home because of C19 and with every now and then a little bit of online schoolwork, they are now going back to school full time. What do you expect after 7 months of standstill...... That an attempt is made to catch up. None of that. Homework 1 to 2 times a week. Tests are canceled in connection with school activities (cooking for a school meeting). If Thailand wants to move forward, it will have to drastically improve education. I wonder if the surrounding countries are making progress in education and general development. If that's the case, things look bleak for Thailand's future.

    With the UK looking like mandating boosters and 100% fully vaccinated Gibraltar cancelling Christmas due to rising cases....... I'd say Thailand's porky pies will get even more amusing in the coming months. 

    Yep, we now come to the point to find out that these "wonder" vaccins actually dont work that well. Back to the drawing board. Tourism..........0

  4. It is absolutely true that when children roll into society with a command of the English language and can also work with a computer, their chances increase enormously. For the Western world it is an advantage if the Thai children are more English oriented than Chinese.

    Well, the pound is tanking due to the idiots in the BOE not raising interest rates and the economy sluggish due to supply chains (which annoys me as the £ slips against the $ even though the $ has real supply chain issues too). 

     

    One can only hope the Thai economy remains sluggish , because if it booms with tourism the demand for the baht may well push my £ lower.

     

     

    I dont think you have to fear for that as more Covid BS comes around the corner. And with a expensive bath export will also take a hit.

    Many platforms are writing about the situation with Covid-19 and readers are responding to it. One does not take it so closely and the other is very scared. Fear, misunderstanding, anger and even aggression can be found in many reactions. What has Covid done to your state of mind?

    I <deleted> told you all in several other threads over the course of the past week;

     

    Thailand is being turned into a totalitarian police ran state, those (mainly Thais) who supported Prayuth and the current regime are in for a rude wake up call, yet this is only the beginning.

     

    The Thailand we all once knew and cherished is gone, it's dead Jim.

     

    In fact it's getting so ridiculous with all these rules and all these "Police officers" everywhere trying to control and enforce nearly every single aspect of your daily life, it starts to feel like China.

    Its not only Thailand. Even a "free" country like the Netherlands is chnnging into a totalitarian State. Im afraid will we see this growing all over the world.
