    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.

    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?

    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".

    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...

    You know, I have tried using these predicted lottery numbers.

    Be it car crash number plates, banana trees; monitor lizard with talcum powder; cow with two heads; snakes etc. and you know what I have never won.

    I am sorry, I don't believe this spider knows any better.

    Auspicious numbers are all around us..

     

    Eight-legged creatures however, have a history of being able to forecast sporting / betting events. ????

    Pull the other one will you, I drive for hours on end and never see a cop in sight, however if there is a VIP that is going to pass by, they will be at every junction, i.e. off of their lazy aces.

     

     

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

     

    The horrendous accident stats here don't seem to bother the collective hive-mind at all. Just an unemployment solution.
