Popular Post Denim Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 I know Songkran has been cancelled but if people travel home anyway , then this figure will rise dramatically a few weeks after the holidays regardless of whether people splash water around or not. The holidays themselves should be deferred and people discouraged from traveling home to visit elderly relatives. 36 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it does not matter many places are closed and I bet that gets extended with the rising cases. No work or money to even afford their Soi Buakhow 2 to 3,000 b a month box. Going home gives them a basically free place to stay and less expensive rural life. 18 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Canuck1966 Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'd love to interrogate the causes of death in Thailand in the last few months. Make some nice pivots tables and pretty graphs. I think lung infections and pneumonia would be quite prevalent 29 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the main difference between the East and West Especially in the UK, the industrial revolution pushed almost everyone from the country/agriculture into towns and cities. Therefore the dynamics are much different 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many daily wage earners have no choice but to return to their provinces. They cannot remain in the city with no income. No sign if the government helping them out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly you rarely hear a cough these days, this time of year always someone coughing, some with cold. In UK everyone thinks they have Corona rather than a bog standard cough cold hence the large number of negative tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post buanmeerugsaa Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 Even if they don’t get sick or die, millions of people will lose everything unless the government gets its act together and stops banks and other lenders calling in loans when the borrowers have been thrown out of work and have zero income ... through no fault of their own. There MUST be a moratorium until the crisis is ended and people can get back to work! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a large amount of people from the boxing community testing everyday, saw a report yesterday on a Thai news site that over 500 tested so far with about 70 cases out of those tests. There will be more cases from there as many are still getting tested and awaiting results. Edited March 21, 2020 by Tingnongnoi spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
