No, not my definition, industrial sectors are defined by their product, agriculture and industrial are not in the same "grouping", if you know or consider my view to be incorrect do share so I can learn. Thank you ???? 

What about oil and gas industries? What do YOU classify them as agriculture or industrial?

Having spent my life working in O&G my classification would be essential? Depends also if you classify O&G as a fossil fuel or abiogenic?

If it helps, below is how Thailand is classified, it is not MY classification

Ok, there are many industrial manufacturing factories in Isaan and the reason why there are built there is called decentralization which is the same as many western countries like Australia. In Isaan you have manufacturing companies like Panasonic, Seagate, Shoe manufacturing, garment manufacturing, fishnet manufacturing, plastics manufacturing, and like many other western countries they have these manufacturing businesses to provide employment for the local community. Not everything can be manufactured on the eastern seaboard because the eastern seaboard is not big enough to accommodate all the industries that go through there. The eastern seaboard is only an export hub and not a manufacturing hub

Here in Sisaket, next to Surin, people are afraid of another virus: the dengue fever!

 

I have yet to see people coming back from the big cities after losing their job, but it will happen, at the worst possible time, when there is no water left because of the ongoing drought...

 

Very hard times are coming for Thailand...and the rest of the world.

 

Right now, we are just in the phase when the seawater recedes...before the tsunami...

 

Poor analogy - sea levels are currently rising at their fastest level since records began. And the Arctic and Antarctic are melting 6 times faster than they were in the 1990s. But yes, I get your point that this COVID-19 event may be looked back as a mere tremor before the actual "earthquake" of runaway climate change and ecological breakdown. 

We will survive

Have you ever seen how they drink in Isaan?

In my village everything is normal, no more masks then before, most people here wear them because of the dust. Local shops and businesses in town open as normal seems the local population is aware of Corona but have an attitude of what will be will be.

The worry is when Corona does arrive it will go through the local population like a dose of salts.

Family is big here so when someone gets sick the whole world turns up to visit you. 

Funerals sometimes see a few hundred people turn up.

Social eating with friends and family numerous hands in the rice pot or picking bits of flesh of the fish along with the one mug on the water container.

Drinking parties with one shot glass.

Fifteen or roundabouts in the Ute.

Life is cool here at the moment but the chit will hit the fan shortly.

You might want to listen, read and learn from globally-respected peer-reviewed, specialist scientists in their field, such as those at the IPCC, who spend their lives analysing the best-available data and not right-wing, fossil-fuel industry climate change deniers who are paid to deceive, Mr T.  Let's hope you don't have a house in Florida some 50 cms above current sea level.

Go to p.1147 for a quick snapshot of sea level rise over different time scales:
