Scot123 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Am I reading this right that other countries have donated these supplies and Thailand taking credit for it? The question I have is Thai Airways flying these supplies for free or being paid by the international Red Cross? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilAtUbon Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The sign says "Humanitarian Relief For China". That is just so wrong on so many levels. The second biggest ecomomy in the world can't "relieve" its own citizens with basic stuff like face masks. Even if there is more sophisticated equipment in the shipment, why the hell can't a country with nearly one and a half billion people, source that stuff internally and get it to their own people? Why is it necessary for 30 different countries to stump up the goods several months after it all took off? Christ al-flarpin-mighty. The Red Cross will be sending chip butties to Birmingham next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
