internationalism 6936 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 there would be national lockdown, rather later, then sooner, but it would be necessary. Locking bangkok and neighbouring provinces it's already 25% of population, so large part. But as they are wealthy they would travel to the other provinces for partying, booz supplies. Also to escape virus and work online from provincial hotels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
