Not true. They usually rent a room with somebody else, cook food and live pretty cheap.

Rent, utilities and food can't be more than a few thousand per month.  All the rest must be luxuries.

 

Even if she had been saving just a third of her income she would be fine for several months.  But with Thais, tomorrow never comes...

If they individually spend 4,000 baht per month that is a maximum.

You're forgetting the drugs bill.

10 Ya-baa or Ya-Ice tablets a day soon adds up.

Same problem in every town in the world. Governments have really got this wrong

Our days it is difficult politically to justify letting die the elderlies to save the jobs of bar girls.

 

But I agree that in a couple of years we may find out that Coronavirus, if let run it's course, would have reduced the global life expectancy by only a few months.

Governments are damned if they do! and damned if they don't ! .... this is a no win situation ..Everyone is a loser  .  This is not a virus you can just ignore and do nothing . If left to its own devices    the  body counts is going to be in the  10's of millions  worldwide ... It's now a simple case of damage control 

China needs to be held accountable for this virus and no one else...the blame is well and truly on Xi Jinping shoulders .If this was a war he would charged with crimes against humanity for his wilful neglect in trying to hide this virus  so China would not loss face on the international stage..

Not the same. In many Western nations there is government assistance to fall back on. In many countries the governments will be rescuing businesses to keep them alive.

I don't want to downplay the severity or repercussions of this pandemic but it is not possible to contain it one can only slow down the transmission by small amounts.  The answer is a vaccine or medical treatment not annihilating the economy.

OK< so why is Germany coping well? China has flattened the transmission curve and Japan and Singapore are doing well too.

 

Yes, it's bad, but there's still hope.

What do these guys do when they get to 40? Assuming they haven’t died of HIV or meth abuse. Serious question

Job losses every day caused by every government's wrong decisions, far worse than the virus itself. They need to do a U turn fast.

 

Social distancing - Yes

Social isolation for those in at risk groups - Yes

the rest go back to work - Yes yes yes.

The rest is garbage

Govts can only afford so much before they ruin the finances of the country, plus loads of people and businesses fall through the gap. Lot's of unemployment in UK and US and other countries already

I for one don't believe any of the low numbers coming out of asia given the amount of Chinese tourists who have visited.  What do all these nations have in common.  Simply look at their govt structure.

Am personally enjoying it immensely so far.  Air quality excellent, less infernal traffic - so less background noise, the Ocean/Bay water is blue again,  and less garbage on the beach and sidewalks. 

If the restaurants all close tonight, that will be unfortunate, but of course can still order online with foodpanda etc...

It will all be over by Easter,  the POTUS has spoken, PM will follow  5555

Nobody worldwide should be expecting this to be under control in 2020.

Every case has to be eradicated first for very obvious reasons before the world can attempt to recover from the massive recession thats coming

Pattaya is over simply nothing will survive just maybe in 18 months from now it may reopen but will be a shell of its former self.

Nobody alive (economists, etc...) has ever been through a pandemic.  So in reality they are all speaking out of their a$$es, because no one has experienced this before
