A bit repetitive and boring constantly rolling out the 1 or 2 in quarantine that test positive.

 

That is the whole point of quarantine and ASQ hotels to identify and prevent these people who have caught the virus from getting into the community.

 

Do they want a drum roll and a round of applause for doing the exact job and identifying the reason that quarantine was put in place for?

 

Meanwhile, no strategy is put in place to speed up quarantine procedures to get the economy functioning again except trotting out the tired old line of travel bubbles with bloody China, asnd China does not want its nationals going abroad and is encouraging them very strongly to holiday in China.

 

What part of the memo have the buffaloes in power in Thailand not received?

Yes. Otherwise its a thankless yet very necessary task.
