Additionally, one has to wonder how many may have been even sick for a longer time when patients were sent away and untested because hospitals lacked room and tests. 1500 people die every day in Thailand. This virus is merely culling the old and sick. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you survive should you become infected and not end up with long covid either. Tell that to the family of the 29 year old e-sports gamer who died yesterday. Tell them he was culled because he was obese. Edited April 25, 2021 by ThailandRyan 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you did not see this: A surprise in today's COVID deaths -- eight of the eleven are in the 20s to 40s age group, though most had various preexisting conditions including obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Most of the fatalities lately have been in their 60s to 80s.. A government spokeswoman added that the final fatality on the list was a young woman from Bangkok who was 25 week pregnant upon her death 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see similar drops in confirmed cases on the weekend in reported confirmed numbers of other countries. Thanks. good to see someone’s brain is working. Most western countries are turning around their tests in under 24hrs. Thailand is saying up to 4 days to get results. We really don’t know what day the current positive tests were done on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, its heartbreaking not only for those suffering seriously but also for the economic damage its doing to so many people now and in the future. Watching this helplessly is all we can do, the powers that be appear to have relinquished control to provincial governors instead and washed their hands of the lockdown decisions that are needed now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 Online petition seeks Anutin's exit as Public Health Minister over Covid-19 crisis An online group, "MorJaMaiThon" [Doctors can’t stand anymore], has launched a campaign demanding the resignation of Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. "The campaign, "Call for Minister of Public Health to resign due to the failure to resolve the Covid-19 outbreak", was launched at midnight on Friday on Change.org. Within a few hours -- as of 9.30am on April 25 -- the campaign had drawn more than 45,000 supporters. The campaigners stated that over the past one year, the Covid-19 outbreak had proved Anutin did not have enough capacity to control the spread of the virus through proper policy-making, resource management, vaccine procurement, or building confidence among medical personnel."

Selfish attitudes like yours is why this pandemic has got so out of control. The idea of staying locked in my home has nothing to do with fear and everything to do with the costs required for living in a civilised society that works TOGETHER to overcome adversities. I am super low risk but will gladly give up a few social freedoms if it means I am not responsible for spreading this horrendous virus and putting others at risk.
