Good idea....it will work and you will open sooner than July!

Be closed a lot longer if they don't sort the vaccine programs out and get the 'promised' and 'ordered' doses

Procuring vaccines in a timely manner makes sense... everything else is a "finger in the dyke"

The Seychelles is the most vaccinated country in the world with 60%, according to this article they have more new cases on a per capita bases than India. They used AZ and Sinopharm vaccine's.  

 

Thailand I think will have continuing lockdowns / restrictions until the large majority of the country is vaccinated.

There are a hundred more unanswered questions, than there are answers, when it comes to Covid (chai dam mak mak 19). And so few have the facts. Nearly everything about the entire covid narrative is either inaccurate, or bent. And it is true, one of the centers of Covid in the US, LA county, is doing well. Cases are way, way down. And at a time when the area is opening back up, the infections and deaths are way down. Explanations from the peanut gallery?

According to Tracking COVID-19 in California - Coronavirus COVID-19 Response yesterday California had 2,471 new cases. Given where California has been thats a great result, but it's not 0.
