They know there is going to be some unpleasant experiences before they master it, but if they don't take the plunge, when stormy waters hit the economy, they will be a fish out of water or a government out of its depth. They cannot win every time. Either they accept some increase in cases or the economy suffers and stagnates. They need to put it some regulations such as face masks in flight, social distancing where possible, temperature checks, personal hand washing and people being aware of surroundings and large groups. You cannot isolate a nation forever and they won't be able to get all the previous preferential deals with the West as they have had for many years as emerging economies, as the West has been harder hit than Asia, and will not be able to subsidise goods and services like they have done in the past. A balance has to be reached between economics and safety. And which is the priority of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Married, common law or de facto. Surely they cannot expect them to continue financially supporting them (where the government promises have failed) and be denied any hope of returning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumarianson Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) How come this Thai senior doctor with a very negative fearful opinion is listened to and a senior Consultant in the UK' NHS' system' voice is stifled when he said that COVID is not a virus and is not what it is said to be? He said that it is not as contageous nor serious as the flu. So why is his word stopped from being published or seen on You Tube? It does not fit the narrative. What is truly going on? In a country where no more than 60 people in total, all with underlying conditions were labelled as dying from COVID and no cases at all for over a month do they deprive a nation of its living? Just in case you havn' t surmised it by now, this is tyranny bought with your own unrealistc fears in order to control you. Any professional with a decenting voice is silenced when they stray from the narrative. Only a country of sheeple would shackle themselves in this way. "Question everything, especially those who would rule over you". History bears out the fact that unquestioned power leads to totalatarian rule and suffering. When yoi cannot question a narritive not produce evidence to the contrary without it being sensored, then you have to question the sensors!

They should extend the amnesty for current tourists here for another few months as the ones here are guaranteed to be Covid-free and the only source of foreign tourist dollars. When opening up they should only make a travel bubble with countries with low or no local Covid transmissions. Especially don't let the Yanks, Brazilians or others with huge Covid numbers in until the end of 2021 at the minimum, that would be plain stupidity any country in the world did that. "...for current tourists here for another few months as the ones here are guaranteed to be Covid-free and the only source of foreign tourist dollars...."

The specific details that I outlined regarding Trump's actions are absolute FACT! - The travel restrictions; shut down of the economy; nationwide testing; massive manufacture and distribution of testing equipment and PPE; construction of temporary hospital facilities - ALL of these things are FACTS. All initiated and managed by the Trump administration, at a cost of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of American tax dollars. If you want to criticize Trump, fine. But have the ethical decency to acknowledge the facts before launching such criticism. Waiter...I'll have what he is having!

Anna Rak Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 British Gov to remove 14 day quarantine to certain countries from 6 July and allow corridors on a traffic light system and Thailand along with some other countries is in the green zone. It was my understanding that this would only be allowed if they had an reciprocal agreement with the countries concerned, so the doors maybe opening.

The U.K. does not have a reciprocal agreement with Thailand if they did my OAP would be increased each year you have also failed to mention the $100,000 insurance policy stating you are covered for Covid 19 plus the medical certificate requirement no older than 72 hours before you depart stating you are Covid 19 free of the infection .

Popular Post Expat Tom Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well, I assume that the good doctor lives in a nice home in a gated community. He probably drives a Benz and eats well. In fact, he has probably never gone hungry a day in his life. He enjoys luxuries that most Thais only see on the internet. It is quite well for him to condemn thousands of his country men to poverty and hunger. Why bring all of those nasty tourists back? "Because, Doc, my family is hungry and we have no money"!!!! ....Something you have never had to worry about and certainly don't face now....right Doc? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
