I do hope at some point before the new year they will consider Non O retirement, elite visa holders, folks that have belongings, large amounts of money, condo owners or renters etc and have spent many years there.

The government will likely need to support taxpayers by offering bailouts.

 

Businesses will go to the wall, especially those that were over-leveraged, pay rents and are in debt.

Oh, sorry I forgot the millions of jobs in the "something"- industry...

My bad!

Thailand actually has the chance, right now, to stock up PPE, to prepare more ICU rooms, buy ventilators...so they COULD control an outbreak, however that may look like or where it may come from!

Why are we hearing only crickets from that front?
