Lets forget figures, tables and % of this and that for now...

 

When do you think we will be back to "normal" ?? Just guesses will do.... 

There is obviously going to be a certain time frame for easing of restrictions.

When do you think unrestricted international travel will be available again ??

 

I'm taking an optimistic guess at September...

 

 

I think soon the term Normal will have a new and different meanings, time will tell what the "new normal" will be...

Normal will take years but flights I am guessing July/August

six months 'nearly'. 18 months to 'full' normal

What ever normal will be, i guess october, november.

Minimum 18 months. Probably no international travel for 12 months and then only people who are antibody positive allowed to travel.

I would 50 Satang on June ........after it has finished in the boiling water.  Oh how I look forward to my fortnightly massage and to walk down walking street and going out over the mountains on my Forza for lunch the other side..........I could still be dreaming in the autumn of course.

To normal? Definitely not this year as far as I am concerned. My "normal life" involves 6 or 7 weeks of family holidays during March/April and in October. March/April is gone and these morons are already planning to cancel the October holidays. Normality would also involve being able to enjoy a good meal in a cosy restaurant and be able to stroll around without choking  in a stupid mask drenched in sweat. Also wonder if we will ever be able again to enjoy couple of cold beers while watching near naked nymphets undulating within smelling distance. They may just grab the opportunity to keep those decadent venues closed forever.

Life will return to some semblance of normality once an effective vaccine is available and has been given to enough people.

That may happen this year if we're lucky, I hope so anyway, but it may be in 2021 or even later. Just keep in mind that even after decades of research they still haven't been able to find an effective vaccine against the AIDS virus.

Schools are closed till July. Normal won't be until schools are allow to open. I'm guessing it would be towards end of the year, but they can't open up the borders. Once they allow flights in without 14 day quarantine, the infection rates will go up again.

Never be the same again

I have long believed that there is a cure out there for every affliction on the face of the earth, but as long as healthcare is nearly 18% of GDP in the US (can't speak for other countries), these cures will continue to be suppressed for the long term interests of the big players in healthcare. Surely, researchers have known for years how to eradicate tooth decay, but just imagine the ramifications of putting the entire dental industry out of work overnight if such a cure were announced. Money is king and patients will continue to be expendable in order to maintain the status quo!

It is going to be a new "Normal" and we don't have a clue what it will be !  Will have to wait till next year at least.  Definitely don't want Thailand going back to what was normal 4 months ago !!

There is no vaccine against aids because pharma industry makes more money with expensive pills and other stuff what they can sell,same goes with cancer

Aids is hard to catch though.

The PTB will be seeking the tourist dollar or whatever at the earliest possible opportunity.

 

Not back to normal.don't think we will see that for along time, but open for business July,possibly earlier.

Too much pressure from the elites etc loosing money. 

Domestically a return to near normal within Thailand (I presume you mean't Thailand)

within end of June.But things will be different, still avoid shaking hands, keeping some distance 

in bars, (ensure their glasses are washed well) trains & a massage may not have the intimacy we are used too.

International flying will be a long time resuming as we know it with more expensive tickets

which I agree with as this flying halfway around the world for 12 days holiday is not helping our planet, low cost airlines will be a lot less available & remember where are you going to go ?

You will need to be careful for at least 2 years as I unfortunately see this corona monster

re emerging 

 

when smarter countries will explain it is really a hoax

 

swine flu 1976 : big scare, vaccine and many damaged and sued big pharma

AIDS : oh no every family would have a family member or at least friend with aids, never happened

sars : little cases

mers: little cases

ebola : dies to quickly

 

bird flu, another swine flu and now covid19

 

people, if you can, sites enough, 

 

compare DEATH rates in your country last year / month

 

with now ...

 

a slight increase, nothing worth of a pandemic, total lockdown / shutdown

 

panic / fear = control people, their lives, their livelyhoods

 

most people that died had already other serious conditions ... did they die OF corona or just with corona

 

big pharma owns the news in USA, the news outlets sell good now, with scare tactics

 

big pharma wants 400 BILLION dollar profits with just this one CORONA pandemic

 

people lose their heads and politicians, crooked or not, will sign away YOUR RIGHTS and freedom

there are new virus coming up its on the prediction vedic astrology .....there will be ongoing situation dealing with virus

I know of no one who able to look into the future without the aid of a tinfoil hat. Such requests are pointless except to feed the appetites of TVF magical soothsayers.

In that case, NEVER.

It is not a hoax.

Why would anyone post such ridiculous misinformation?

I get that nobody likes all the restrictions and there is no doubt governments throughout the world are likely to use this crisis to attack civil liberties permanently, but that doesn't make this virus a hoax.

June.

Vaccine for sexually transmitted diseases? i think the natural vaccine is how you behave and protect yourself. Anyway for HIV you can now live a normal life if you take the appropriate medication. The days when you died in in pain with your immune system trashed are gone. 

 

the vaccine for covid 19 is estimated another 12 months. It is getting ready for testing stages now.

 

good luck, be safe.

clouded brains

 

listen to people that compare death numbers of 2019,2018 with now

 

600.000 deaths of FLU every year, and not one country ever closed whatever

 

it is not more contagious or deadly, if you are healthy

 

if you have 1,2,3 chronic conditions, this might be a wake-up call

aids patients, having many multiple sex partners, have many STD also that goes with it

 

the many antibiotics for these

 

plus specially the "POPPERS" they took to facilitate their business destroyed indeed their IMMUNE SYSTEM and many died of things like the cold, pneumonia, etc...

 

Popper is a slang term given broadly to drugs of the chemical class called alkyl nitrites that are inhaled. Most widely sold products include the original isoamyl nitrite or isopentyl nitrite, and isopropyl nitrite. Isobutyl nitrite was also used until it was banned by the European Union. In some countries, to evade anti-drug laws, poppers are labelled or packaged as room deodorizers, leather polish, or tape head cleaner.

Popper use has a relaxation effect on involuntary smooth muscles, such as those in the throat and anus.^[1][2] It is used for practical purposes to facilitate anal sex by increasing blood flow and relaxing sphincter muscles,^[3] initially within the gay community.

More lies!

 

It is much more contagious than seasonal flu.

 

Overall stats so far show a much higher fatality rate than the usual seasonal flu (flus like 1918 excepted.

 

Yes of course the elderly and people with certain conditions have a higher risk of death.

 

You have the compassion of a paper clip. 

When people wake up and figure out this is just another 911 brought  to you by those who think they have the divine right to rule everyone and own anything including peoples well being.
