    With every economic indicator heading south , and without the factory fodder lined up at their jobs , I cant think of any power structure that stands to gain.

     

    Long term they stand to gain a much more compliant and controllable population. 

    The longer this goes on, the more desperate people become.

    Desperate people will be happy and thankful to be put to work in the factories, no matter what the new conditions are....

    It probably wasn't a coordinated conspiracy but most governments are jumping on the opportunity presented, to implement whatever they want now.

    "Its for your own safety and well being" ie you're my bitch now..

    Yes I know you want people dying for you. I mean your making a stink about being stuck somewhere else and would love to get back screw the risk to the elderly when air travel opens up again. You value other things above human life as long as its not yours. I am not in the risk group but would gladly give up a few things so people in the risk group are more safe. I wear a mask not for me but for others, i stick to the rules not because I am afraid but as I would hate to be responsible for the spread and death of the disease. Just imagine being a carrier infecting some of your loved ones and they did not survive. I don't worry much about getting it myself.

     

    Anyway in my country they are trying to make an app that does not invade privacy but still works the idea is sound as is registering your name at shops right now for tracking purpose. 

     

     

     

    How does stating that the majority of Covid deaths are elderly and sick translate to "I want people to die for me" ? Ridiculous statement.

    Yes I'm stuck somewhere I don't want to be, like thousands of other people. Never said screw the risk to anyone else so we can get home.

    I wear a mask, I abide by the local rules in place just as you say you do.

    Protecting vulnerable people does not mean giving up privacy rights. Governments around the world have failed to protect vulnerable groups.

    If they really spent some time on apps that didn't harvest as much data as possible, but did the job for what it is intended, that would be more acceptable.

    Personally I refuse to participate.  If restaurants are going to put up plastic sheeting, require masks, social distancing - then I won't go.  By the way, you can find restaurants is the back alley khets of cities and in villages where none of this nonsense is happening and it's back to business as usual.

    This is a virus.  The virus will burn out like all seasonal viruses do. This entire fiasco has been politicized and hyped.  A seasonal flu has been made into something it is not - but in the process the economy, society, culture, and religions have been destroyed.

    When average people feel enough pain they'll finally say "enough" then the world can get back to normal - not 'the new normal' promised by technocrats and power mad politicians - but normal. But until then, the economy will continue to be devastated and restaurants will be a bell-weather.  The future bell-weather will be tourism that refuses to recover.

     

    Exactly... My wife has opened our restaurant again, with no screens and no QR code scans.

    She does insist the staff wear masks and has placed tables slightly further apart.

    I do think the added hygiene measures ie washing hands more often is a good thing though and hopefully it filters through to more kitchens/businesses that did lack general hygiene before.

    Thailand will get visitors from China but July and August it's holiday time for the French and they just have

    been told they can only fly on French territory and its Islands, so they will miss out on Thailand.

    Let's hope other countries won't follow that French idea.

    It's good News for the Frogs!

     

    That would suck for the Brits... Gibraltar or the Falklands ????
