One of the largest private schools near swampy just went back to online classes due to Covid. I'm hosting a Christmas dinner at my place on the 25th, and will most likely be the last for months. Stock up on liquor. If I was a betting man, I'd put money on another lockdown this January. If you stock up, there won't be a booze ban. If you DON'T stock up . . .

That does not answer your statement that lockdowns did more bad than good. But OK, your values are clear.

Lockdowns are the way to go - but the problem with the UK is that it's being run by Bojo the Clown and Jacob Rees Mogg, the oversized sleepy cat. With chaps like these at the helm, no one is paying any attention.

 

The rules are far too wide ranging - wear a mask here, but not here and not when your with these people, but you must wear a mask there. Just tell people to put the damn things on their face every time they go out of the effin house!

 

I watched a BBC news clip - during the last lockdown - where people are walking around maskless, boasting about shopping for cookies - because cookies were essential to the tub of lard being interviewed. Here's what lockdown looks like in the UK. Even the BBC news guy on camera was maskless.

 

And people are wondering why the UK is doing so badly? Because it's a country run by fools and the plebs are no better. Sort it out for F+K sake.

Lockdowns did more damage than good? Seems they, together with other measures, more or less eliminated the virus here.

 

I do agree with you that with testing and 14 days quarantine in place the risk of importing contamination from the UK is really low.

 

It's going to be years before we know the full extent of the damage done by the lockdowns.  Lots of employees continue to draw paychecks from dead companies, many of them because of government stimulus that has to end eventually.  That leave millions with no income or access to food, shelter and clothing, much less medical care.

 

On the plus (?) side, according to Robert Reich, the billionaires in the USA could cut a check for $3,000 to every man, woman and child in the USA and still have more money than they had before the pandemic.  So "the economy" as a whole is recovering.  It's the people who are suffering.  That's the magnitude of the transfer of wealth due to Covid.  Is there any surprise that a lot of people are feeling a little conspiratorial?

Just a knee jerk reaction to the more infectious strain of the virus found in the UK. at least that's my guess. They just need some time to calm down.????

 

Exactly right. There's no way that this "new" and more infectious strain is going to ignore the UK's national borders any more than the original strain avoided  a whole slew of southeast Asia and the middle East as it hopped, skipped and jumped to Italy and Spain. It was publicly identified by the UK's Health Minister only late last week, but according to Al Jazeera, there was possibly a single case identified in the Netherlands maybe two weeks ago. Note that the Netherlands were the first nation to call a UK flight ban last Sunday morning. It's already out there and we can only hope that the recent Samut Sakhon cluster that has a similar 'discovery' time-line is only the common and garden variety and will be contained and burn out.

Continental Europe slammed the door on them.

And?????

Continental Europe doesn't have ASQ Hotels and quarantine procedures in place like Thailand.

Thai will still fly as they need the cash, so they'll fly anywhere that they are able to still pay for fuel. Interestingly EVA (BR068) did fly LHR-BKK on Sept 12 which was the first time since the 'teacher charters'. Didn't fly last Sunday.

but if they do that, wont they loose on all the money the ASQ's would make? 

There is no way the unelected "PM" and his soldiers will discontinue any of their many moneymakers, and the ASQ

is about the biggest with all the add ons.

It should not be up to Thailand, the UK should do as Saudi has just done, ban all flights in and out and close all ports!

It is all a bit strange, there was little said when a new strain was found in mink in Denmark and the US

 

A dozen farmworkers were also found to have been infected by the mutation, making it the first known example of animals catching the virus from humans and then passing it back. It hasn’t spread any further.

Outbreaks of the more widely-transmitted form of Covid-19 have been detected on mink farms in other parts of Europe, where cull orders have also been imposed, and in the U.S., where the Agriculture Department last week said it had found a positive case in a wild mink in Utah as part of a wildlife surveillance project around infected farms.

Don't you know that the EU has banned all flights from the UK. Thailand should obviously do the same

Not "obvious" at all.  There aren't many direct flights to Thailand from the UK and those that are running are mainly for repatriating Thais.

ban those thais too. how do anyone know if they got infected by the new strain during a massage or other services they were giving to brits. ????????

[tso310]

Just to say that cargo flights are still operating into the UK from the EU. The head of a air freight company was commenting on this on Sky News. Drugs and vaccines are arriving as normal.

How many people die every day from non-covid causes? Barely an upward blip in excess deaths and the MSM-induced panic/hysteria kicks into gear.

Very sad you post such nonsense.  Because of Covid, many hospital outpatient clinics are closed or doing emergency only. This means people who need surgery cannot access, people who need cancer care cannot get  fast treatment.  I think you are from USA, so here is example from your country, Avalere research was published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Clinical Cancer Informatics, showing a considerable drop in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment for Medicare beneficiaries as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. https://avalere.com/insights/covid-19-impacts-on-cancer-care

 

It is common sense that delayed care will result in negative outcome. You tell the person who needs  knee replacement surgery and must wait longer because of slow down in surgery that the pain and suffering is not important. And when that person knee gives way, and falls down  and breaks hip and then suffers serious infection, that too is not important.

 

How many more hundreds of thousands must suffer from an infection with long term impact that we still do not understand?

More than 3 million people died in 2020 – the deadliest year in US history

 

Final mortality data for this year will not be available for months. But preliminary numbers suggest that the United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019.

 

 

And as health experts in the US have said many times, these numbers are low due to lack of testing early on.

 

So much for MSM induced panic. ????
