I am also in that same situation, as I entered Thailand with a Non Imm O-A visa valid until Sept 22 2020.

Anybody's crystal ball can tell me the odds that I have to be able to do a border run before this Sept 20, allowing me another one year permission to stay.

I have been insured by BUPA-AETNA for 2 millions for quite a few years now...

No crystal ball (unfortunately) but imo chances are high that you will be able to do a border run before Sept 22.  And that would enable you to secure the full 2 years permission to stay an O-A Visa can provide you, by re-entering just before your O-A Visa validity expires. 

Please note that once your Visa validity has expired, you will need a Re-Entry permit to keep the permission to stay 'alive' in case you want to make a trip abroad during that 2nd year period.

I would say that odds are very good that you will be able to do it before September 20th unless there is a 2nd wave of infections.

Many thanks Ubonjoe. (This should make me sleep better, while crossing my fingers)

Many thanks for your reply. (Some wealth of knowledge that you have accumulated there...)
