OBdala's narrative.... that Trumps admin sent

supplies to china while US citizens were in need...is patently false.

A scurrilous accusation at best that even CNN hasn't dared to air

as it would be torn to pieces. So its there hiding as an opinion piece

on their website. Pure junk.

So what? There are facts in this article. Do you claim they are not true?

That is opinion masquerading as fact. Even cnn labelled it such.

No proof as usual...just the usual "sources"

LOL ????

You really think giving people what is obviously false hope is doing the right thing? The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf mean anything to you? Although in this case instead of a predator it's a pet unicorn for everyone.

"false hope"? 

do you have access to a cnn teleprompter while typing?

that was a rhetorical question. ????

And a really bad time to be making predictions based on hope for the best. Especially,if you're the POTUS.

no.....he is doing the right thing by not sounding like a doom merchant...ie. you.

I seem to remember this idiot Markle proudly saying she would move to Canada if trump

won. Guess she couldn't hack it anywhere else...back to L.A. to do voice-overs.

LOL

not a good time to be in the prediction business. period.

get some 7-11 bags? or nick some from foodland?

Oops I guess Mr Scaramanga will be most displeased.

Lets hope they dont do a Korea on this one too.

This sounds crazy but she could even offer to rent it to the government to set up a hospital

inside if things turn ugly.

A major issue at the time and ongoing was insufficient Covid screening kits for community screening in order to assist with reducing the risk to transmission.

Good to see Spain, Italy got theirs right on time.....and had to return them back to china as they were junk.

Trump held out for a better more reliable test. OMG...hes baaaad! LOL

In Pattaya/Banglamung, anyone who visited ....‘Bar Beer Soi 6 Pattaya’ between February 24 and March 26 (names translated from Thai, may differ slightly) is required to quarantine at home for 14 days.

wow....that is probably a good 80-90% of the Pattaya addicts crowd.

many of those muppets have flown home as well.

They practise the direct opposite of social distancing in those bars.

if you've been near that person you get a heads up and can go get tested.

They are tops at contact tracing in sg. Not much crime to address, so the crime detectives are all

over this. 

There are still a worrying number of unlinked cases...which is the problem. But people are by and large

cooperating. The only weak link is that there is shoulder to shoulder traffic on public trains and buses

during rush hour...which is troubling.

The real game changer is the track and trace app that millions have on their phones. Using bluetooth 

it exchanges phone numbers with other devices so if someone is discovered as infected their phone can reveal all the other people they have been in close proximity to.

All these measures are easy to administer in a small place like SG....more challenging elsewhere.

Absolutely spot on. This economic shutdown is going to be 700 times worse than the virus. People will starve to death. Especially in places like India, with over 500 million people existing on $2-5 a day. Is that bailout going to really help them? And if so, for how long? There is something else at stake here. We are not seeing the full picture. I am beginning to believe this is not what it appears, on any level. 

stop spreading panic.

Where are they going to take off to? 

 

By "taking off" all they have done is spread it across the country.

They most certainly could have.

The government did not think through how lockdowns work.

Ideally they should have had a military presence that locked down Pattaya like an ant's sphincter.

only tourists are allowed to leave...either to airport or back to their Thai residence...thais stay put.

The same thing has happened in India where they locked down new delhi and hundreds of thousands of migrant labourers headed to the bus terminals jostling each other...they are probably still there, waiting for a bus to go back to their village.

I have been reading some newspapers online, UK, American, German. A common theme seems to be people having trouble with isolation, even those in isolation with a partner. What is wrong with them? are they so empty, devoid of any inside strength, a lack of any kind of spirituality, empty vessels who have to meet up with others to have superficial conversations to confirm that they matter. Some describe just three days as a kind of torture to be endured, how to keep your hair fresh, advice is given on how to preserve your mental health!!! If anyone can't endure 3 or 4 weeks inside their own 4 walls with music, TV, internet, iphones, books etc they don't have stable mental health to begin with, and that is scary because a lot can't. The UK has said that off licences (where you can buy booze to take away) is an essential service!! Really!! A nation of alcoholics has just had a reality experience ie. I'm not an alcoholic I just drink to be sociable (but I can't do without it). Partners start to argue, children are being physically mistreated (child protection services America) Women suffer being beaten, all because of a lack of superficial interactions with others outside the home.

There is a lot one can do that can be a benefit to life after corona. You have time now to improve your knowledge on the internet whether it be for your career or just for self improvement, start to learn a new language for instance. It seems that gossiping with John or mary in the bar about your sad life is more important.

All the people who went through life being mocked for having no friends and zero social life 

are now laughing. (or maybe managing a wry smile)

The day I stop hating Trump is the day I stop taking breath. From my cold dead hands ,  from my cold dead body. 

No one cares.

Wash your hands and follow the hygiene guidelines.

Is any hotel running as normal in Pattaya...I cant imagine there are any tourists 

left there....you'd have to mad to hang around there when the thais have wised up

and taken off.
