Popular Post darksidedog Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 More good news. Given we were told 14 days plus another 14 were needed for it to be considered all clear, we should be able to go to the pub for a beer early next week then, unless of course the government back flips again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiwrath Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Appalling that the government keep a certain segment of society closed, for their own agenda, If their overall figures are to be believed, leaving a hell of a lot of people without work. Surely, many Thai citizens are now seeing through this regime, and, hopefully, an unrigged election would bring a "normal" normal back to Thailand.

Why does the caption underneath the photo need to tell us all this? Keep you in the loop mate. On another point why is Reuters so determined to stick with the historical cases instead of those currently under treatment? Does this mean I can go and see my dogs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Bender Rodriguez said: they can, they just have to do thai style stop testing With over an average of 500 -1,000 COVID deaths per week and twice that many hospitalizations, that wouldn't make much difference in the US. There is no masking as epidemic large enough to produce those sort of numbers. What aggressive testing mainly does is make the asymotomatic and mild cases more visible.

Wish you were right, but Thailand has a history of being ruled by the military. so if a normal government took over they would be looking over their shoulders wondering when the next coup is going to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
