No. Thaksin or his sister are the best you can hope for right now. If this is tough to swallow best get used to more government by the military. Protesters get their wish, Prayuth resigns and Prawit takes over. Protesters happy and go home to celebrate their victory . Yea right

Wow ! Totally awesome . I am green with envy.

Their treatment of the Uighurs and Kazahks ( Chinese citizens ) makes a mockery of that statement. What the Chinese communist party is committed to is its own self preservation and embroiling it's citizens in it's own expansionist ideals . It's belligerent claims to the entire South China Sea and its avowed intent to conquer Taiwan by force hardly demonstrates a high regard for the welfare of it's own citizens who may end up having to pay in blood for these acts of aggression . It was the lack of Chinese transparency in the first place that got control of covid off to such a bad start, arresting whistle blowers and trying to cover things up. It does not console me in any way that the CCP continues in its flagrant human rights abuses against it's own citizens but if you want praise the CCPs response to the pandemic it has given the world then feel free to do so , even if it is entirely irrelevant.

From the link I posted on page 4 of this thread , an article from a current Israeli newspaper regarding the current situation. The last paragraph of that article : Health Ministry data released Monday showed that fully vaccinated individuals made up most of the new cases and most of those hospitalized in moderate condition or worse Vaccines are primarily meant to reduce the symptoms of a covid infected person so that they are less severe and less likely to result in death. Their ability to prevent infection in the first place is sadly not guaranteed. After vaccination continued vigilance is still required.

Fingers crossed also ? Not exactly a sentence to inspire much confidence.

And there will definitely not be a coup and I won't cling to power. I know we are not talking about Prayuth here but I have completely lost faith in anything people say now because the PM can step in at any time and say we need those vaccines for booster shots to front line medical workers etc etc. I would seriously like to be wrong about this.

What a surprise.

It really is depressing to know what kind of people are out there and that we have to share the planet with. RIP Jiraporn. Don't know what kind of person you were but you did not deserve to be murdered over 60,000 baht.
