But there wasn't even a first spread according to the "government" figures, just 58 deaths and no local transmission for 100 days, borders closed (tightly undone) only those returning from "dirty foreign" country's have been found "infected"

I guess Thai people are safe then. 

On the ball these guys speed of a thousand leaping gazelles, cat like I tell you, wonder what Dr Yong thinks about it, I find I struggle to sleep until I have heard his daily opinion on all things medical....

No danger of a mask shortage then, sounds familiar, I'm sure someone in government said something similar about 6 or 7 months ago, just weeks before the great mask shortage of 2020.

And how many of those are of the actual medical grade needed at the covid wards, instead of the flimsy paper flaps locals wear under their chin, if at all?

Safety first. Personal note: Fully stock the beer wall.

Any guesses as to how much more this would be for farang as opposed to thais ?

No need for an alert when you lay it on by the bucket full!
