Popular Post steven100 Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2020 well so much for social distancing against the COVID virus, so much for taking safe hygiene precautions such as masks and sanitizers. I expect a spike in virus transmission cases in a week or two then further extend to keep borders & airplanes out. It'll be their own fault. The organizers were told and didn't listen so it's their own fault if students get sick and/or the virus spike in the coming days which I suspect will be the case. imo 1 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To monitor a peaceful student protest .... a bit heavy handed one would say? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more accurate statement would have been 8.500 police stationed at 14 sites in Bangkok to intimidate student protesters. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
