If only these Doctors worried more about the local hygiene  in Thailand  we'd  all  be  a lot more healthier  maybe 

Hygiene, road safety, food safety, clean air, healthy eating, etc., etc.  No bandwagon or gravy-train for healthy, confident people, unfortunately.

Since the mask mandate has ended, I've hardly ever seen any Thais unmasked in public anyway (in Bangkok, might be different elsewhere).

 

Foreign tourists are a different story, but they didn't seem to care even before. 

 

So, what difference would this really make?

The mask mandate ended only to try attract foreign tourists back here. It's only the main tourist areas that you also see Thais without masks, tbh.

Thais are still getting their info and news from masked newsreaders, masked cartoon characters on Line app, Mor Phrom, etc.

In the workplace, a lot of factory workers, contractors, etc still have to ATK-check every 3 days. If they come up positive, they will have to isolate (and lose money) for 10 days, pending negative results. So it's also the fear of losing earnings..

Mandated or not, the mask-wearing will be here in Thailand for a long time.

Lovely bloke. Killed his wife in a similar modus operandi, thirty years ago.

At the start of this year, he was urging the populace "not to be scared", and being positive about an endemic status of this virus.

Now, he is looking to postpone this, and scare-mongering..

A large section of society is trying to rebuild their lives and livelihoods right now. Are you happy to have this guy dictate the parameters of your life for you?

All she has to do is slur the magical words; "Do you know who I am?" And get spirited away from the stench of her actions.

According to the prime minister, the Thai government has been working with foreign governments in an effort to promote industrial development and strengthen the nation’s industrial base.

He also defended the government’s borrowing, arguing that the loans were essential to stimulate spending and drive economic growth in the kingdom.

Translated: "Signed up to shonky trade deals, in return for loans to buy jets and weapons".

Just re-reading a few old Henry Miller classics.

Tropic of Cancer.

Quiet Days in Clichy.

Black Spring.

Amazingly rich prose, free-association and vocab. Also pretty visceral and tackles taboo (1930's era) matter with lots of energy. Great reading.

Mr Anutin said he had requested leave from the cabinet meeting. He believed he caught the virus during the trip as he had met many people who were not wearing face masks. While making speeches and chairing meetings he also had to take off his mask.

I bet he doesn't even have Covid. Just making a point about non-Thais, not wearing the ... masks.

--10,000+ people are currently hospitalized in Thailand because of COVID.

--610 of those are in serious condition with pneumonia type symptoms.

--and another 286 are in such bad condition that they've required intubation in order to breathe.

And then, of course, there was this little nugget in today's news:

 

COVID cognitive decline more widespread than thought, say researchers at Australia's first long-COVID clinic

 

"And the team has found something startling.

Does it state the average age or co-morbidity of those 10,000 people.?

"Pneumonia" is basically the intrinsic cause of death of old age or "natural causes".

Where do they do these tests for ‘sub-variants’....  Every PCR test I have taken simply responds negative, 

But for those whose test returned a positive, was the variant listed ?... 

 

Does every lab test that returns a positive test also test for a variant and sub-variant? does every lab have the equipment and expertise to test to that level of detail ????

 

 

They've all got genomic sequencers that they are fully-trained in the use of. I'm sure...

He’ll not resign, which is good news for opposition parties.

The only real opposition he has, is from his own back-benchers.

Have the newsreaders removed theirs, yet?

We (at my office) had a clean sweep of maskless staff, last week. Today the muzzles are back on again, probably due to the "new variants" being of concern, according to the daily fearmongers.

Yep. That's all they are. An army of the rich.

Not just that - the noise was unbearable. 

 

The local authority couldn't care less according to the locals who said they levy taxes then ignore justified complaints. 

They do have a valid, erm.. point. (Getting me coat).
