The Thai Rice Exporters Association and Loom Soom Subdistrict Administrative Organisation handed out over 3,000 bags of rice to villagers in Kanchanaburi's Loom Soom subdistrict on Friday (July 31).

 

 

Anek Laothamatas, Action Coalition for Thailand (ACT) Party executive committee chief, presided over the activity, saying he was pleased to relieve the villagers' sufferings from the Covid-19 impact.

 

"I would like to ask everyone to take care of their health until a Covid-19 medicine or vaccine is found," he said.

 

He added that as a member of the ruling coalition government, they would put in their best efforts to take care of everyone's health and life.

 

"Meanwhile, we are ready to cooperate with the government to help economic recovery because the people's quality of life is very important," he added.

without intervention world wide its believed that 10's of millions will starve due to economics, but with many countries at each others throats the disadvantaged will suffer a terrible fate with the inability to form a global effort..

"I would like to ask everyone to take care of their health until a Covid-19 medicine or vaccine is found," he said.

 

NOT organising an event at which hundreds of people are crammed shoulder to shoulder would be a good start.

They are expected to survive on rice? 

"I would like to ask everyone to take care of their health until a Covid-19 medicine or vaccine is found," he said.

 

Those who are interested in taking care of their health would be more interested in whole-grain rice (or brown rice) than white rice which is deficient in nutrients and fiber.

Not just the rice bags then? Bags of rice.The

 

Is no one social distancing? I can see people who are not other not wearing a facemask, or not wearing it correctly.

For once - nice to see a "red" shirt among the crowd (seated, left side).

Another deceiving title 

Terrible that it's come to this and worse to come with the ongoing lockdown.
