No because it's only foreigners that want amnesty. And that would prolong the medical necessity for the state of emergency. I'm fully aware that you face the same problem in your home countries where you can't get the pandemic under control. But Thailand has and was successful in that. So please stop blaming Thailand for Farang countries' failures. Do the maths and learn about the danger of exponential growth instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets add that one to the list. - Done! ???? The virus comes from bats The origin of the virus may be bat soup It comes from Wuhan open air wet markets All Chinese wet markets should be closed immediately There is an intermediate animal vector but we don’t know what it is No intermediate animal vector can be identified It is a bat virus from bats The origin of the virus may not be bat soup The virus cannot possibly be manmade and NO DISCUSSION of this can take place The virus is NOT a bioweapon and NO DISCUSSION of this can take place 500,000 could die in the UK — “Imperial College Experts” Millions will die in China The fatality rate is much higher than Influenza Lockdowns will work — we will flatten the Curve We must Flatten the Curve — to save our health system We are all in this together Staying Apart Keeps Us Together We must close our hospitals to save them We have to build emergency testing centers Mass graves are being dug We must stop all hospital treatments of other diseases All routine surgery must stop even for cancer patients Dying from cancer or heart disease is OK but not if you have Covid 19 Then it is horrible, Covid 19 deaths are horrible The hospitals must stand empty, waiting for the onslaught We will need thousands of new intensive care ventilators It’s all about flattening the curve It’s not about flattening the curve Social Distancing must be 1.5 meters (exactly) Staying Apart Keeps Us Together We are all at risk — everyone can die — even children You cannot sit on grass — dangerous You cannot picnic at a table — dangerous You cannot walk on sand — dangerous You cannot swim in the ocean — dangerous Beaches are dangerous Masks prevent you from spreading the virus Masks protect you from getting the virus It doesn’t matter what type of mask you wear It doesn’t matter how often you change your mask It doesn’t matter where you dispose of your mask Wear gloves Don’t wear gloves If you are walking, you must wear a mask If you are jogging, you do not need to wear a mask Death numbers don’t matter, only case numbers We will not tell you our definition of a “case” — never There will be ABSOLUTELY NO discussion of False Positive Tests There will be ABSOLUTELY NO discussion of False Negative Tests There will be ABSOLUTELY NO discussion of Test Accuracy There will be ABSOLUTELY NO discussion of PCR Tests versus Antibody Tests Rapid Antibody Tests will soon be available and will save the day Rapid Antibody Tests are of no use We don’t need thousands of new intensive care ventilators We have no idea for how long the virus is infectious A quarantine period of exactly 2 weeks is mandated and will stop the spread We are all in this together Staying Apart Keeps Us Together Hotel quarantines will be policed by untrained, unemployed people Borders must be closed but not for some special people Special people can be given permission to cross borders (especially if rich and famous) The Phone Tracking App must be downloaded and will be the ultimate weapon Everyone must download the Phone Tracking App At least 6 million must download the Phone Tracking App Forget the Phone Tracking App In Melbourne lockdown, you cannot shop more than exactly 5kms from home In Melbourne lockdown, you can walk for exactly 1 hour per day (and no more) Coffee Shops contain the Virus, Supermarkets do not Restaurants are dangerous Staying Apart Keeps Us Together BLM Protests are safe and OK Protests against lockdowns are a “serious threat and dangerous” Protests against lockdowns require massive police control and mass arrests Professional athletes (especially professional footballers) are not at risk The virus is not present on the grass on professional football fields Mandatory Influenza shots will help protect professional footballers Any footballer refusing a Flu shot is irresponsible and cannot play Highway signs — “Covid 19 — Get your Flu Shot” The Second Wave is coming Forget about flattening the curve A vaccine is coming within months The vaccine will be mandatory The vaccine will be as mandatory as possible The vaccine will not be mandatory (all three within minutes from the Prime Minister) Give Billions to vaccine developers and call them heroes The vaccine will save us all, it is our only hope The vaccine will be safe and effective The vaccine will be here before November The vaccine will be a cure A vaccine will be unlikely (after the Russian vaccine was announced) Hydroxychloroquine is a very safe drug, used by millions for decades Hydroxychloroquine is a safe effective treatment if used with Zinc in early stage disease Hydroxychloroquine is extremely dangerous and is now banned All discussion concerning Hydroxychloroquine is DANGEROUS All discussion concerning Hydroxychloroquine is FORBIDDEN No discussions of normal vaccine development periods are allowed No discussions concerning vaccine safety are allowed No discussions concerning vaccine effectiveness are allowed We are controlling the virus We don’t want to lose control of the virus We are not trying to eliminate the virus Our aim is to eliminate the virus You cannot leave Australia without special permission You cannot cross State borders without special permission All Doctors who challenge the official narrative should be ignored Those Doctors are clearly incompetent We want to keep you safe, the scientists are in charge We always act on scientific advice (carefully selected) You can always depend on us to signal our virtue We only take these grave decisions on the best scientific advice The Dreaded Second Wave is here The second wave is dangerous Nothing is our fault, nothing Staying Apart Keeps Us Together We will not discuss co-morbid diseases as a cause of death We will continue to label all deaths as Covid deaths We will not discuss the fact that 94% of “Covid” deaths are from co-morbid diseases We will continue to emphasize “case” numbers and not death numbers We will not define what a “case” is — Never — Case numbers are paramount We will never compare death numbers of Covid 19 versus Influenza death rates No comparisons between Covid and Influenza epidemics will be tolerated You can rely on us to generate maximum panic and fear That is our solemn promise to keep you safe We care for you, this is not about politics We are virtuous, caring, taking medical advice, in control The second wave is not so dangerous That is all — apologies to MASH and Animal Farm/George Orwell We are all in this together Staying Apart Keeps Us Together. There will be a second and 3rd and you get the message, lots of waves until we have subdued the masses and can control them with ease. Did you really take the time to write that or just cut and paste, anyway could not be bothered to read it all, heard it all before, only one country wins out of this China, the country that let it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And none were being addressed. That is part of my point. They say they want rich tourists. What sacrifices are the ministers willing to make, to get them? Rich tourists like to spend money when they travel. And they cannot do that here, as they do not like getting taken for a ride. Most wealthy people are smart with their money. Thailand could be making a fortune on a 25% luxury tax. Instead of the 100% or more, which discourages most people from buying. How many people do you see in the luxury stores here? They are almost always completely empty. Inane. Beyond inane. Are they addressing critical issues, like the air and water quality, traffic safety, public transportation on the southern islands, rapid rail transport, and the lack of law enforcement? No. Nothing, and I mean less than zero is being done. So, as a result of this gross negligence, they are only able to attract primarily lower to middle income Indian and Chinese tourists. The Western tourists have abandoned Thailand for the most part. A fraction of the number that used to come here, return. Quantity over quality is never a good thing, unless you are selling one dollar items at a swap meet. It just lowers the quality of the experience for all. There is no such thing as rich tourist lol. What a f joke. My brothers rich owns 3 mill in New watches and he buys copy shirts sometimes. His rich from hard work smarts and would not give away his money to Prayut and the dwarfs. He would buy genuine nothing from Asia nor would anyone else with a brain. He can buy at home safely. Prayut a dreamer lost.

How does anyone know? It could wind up very quickly. Australia is looking like its well on the path to an end of it all. Do you expect places like Australia will just sit on their heels for years on end, ruining the economy? watching suicides go through the roof.. just for the หell of it?.. And if Covid free in the next month or so? It seemed the Aus prime minister was snapping out of it for a moment, but it seems he has crawled back into his box again. maybe told to "belt it" from international power entities? Anyway, the doom and gloom negativity and BS on here and other places is just incredible. I really dont understand what people get out of it. Yes, we have "sad sacks" in Australia who have never been on a plane, so of course they are jealous of anyone who actually has A LIFE!! They wouldnt mind if the world is locked down for xx years. doesnt effect them! But even people who were actually once travellers themselves, saying no travel for 6months..1, 2 years????? I've even read idiots on here claiming there will be no international travel for 5 years. How anyone can come to these conclusions is beyond me. Heres my prediction: There will be mass rioting everywhere in the world if this BS is allowed to go on for another 3 months.... The people who crave an actual life will be out lynching these fools and cowards who want to keep everything locked down forever.. All for the sake of a slightly worse than average flu. I have a friend in Thailand (Brit) who is going to the USA for a few months holiday, says that there are no restrictions on movement between the two countries provided he has not been to Europe recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussienam Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 State of Emergency October, November, December, January 2021, February, March, April, ... No way it will end 2021. Second, third waves, the virus is not going anywhere. It is here to stay. We can hide under the blankets as long as we like, but COVID19 is too widespread to ever be eradicated. Plus the many mutations. Question is how to live with it for possibly many years. It won't vanish like magic. Doesn't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10baht Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 What part of Thailand's extended SoE has created the biggest personal problem for the noisome farang squatters herein? What exactly is the problem that has become so unbearable for others here? For me, I can still go shopping, buy food, run my kids to school, dine out, drink beer with my mates, go to beach or a National Park, stay in a hotel, access unlimited high-speed internet and enjoy uncensored social media video chat with family and friends back home, bring money into the country, buy a condo, order stuff online, etc., etc... You are an idiot, there are people who had their long term visas expire while not being able to return to their homes in Thailand. My wife and I for 2 , and we have been living in Thailand for 8 great years. We just happened to be on vacation when the <deleted> hit the fan, MATE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
