You don’t seem to be able to grasp the consequences of an epidemic. Thailand has been fortunate in slowing down the infection rate. But, if the virus gets out of control, the death rate would far exceed deaths from the flu.

 

Remember, in the year 1372, there were people in Europe saying “the Black Death, what’s the big deal? It’s only killed 10,000 people....” before it wiped out a third of the population of Europe.

What he doesn't understand is that there were no mask wearing mandates, social distancing, or lockdowns during the past flu epidemics. As the virtual disappearance of influenza durinig this pandemic shows, Had such measures been taken, there would have been virtually no deaths from flu. Apart from the 1918 Spanish Flu, no flu epidemic has killed nearly as many people as has the current pandemic.

There you go again, using the word IF

400 in 17 months is not a epidemic , it is such a small number that it would, without the hype, go completely unnoticed

Let me guess:

 

you complain about lockdowns, travel restrictions, face masks, etc.

 

then you complain that the virus is no big deal, because only 400 people died.

 

You seem to have a problem with causality.

Agreed.  They're trying to keep from becoming like India.  Which had things under control...until they didn't.  Just like Brazil.  The US.  Etc, etc, etc.

 

Right now, better safe than sorry.

yup

Just like Thailand, had it under control, until they didn't, yet still so few deaths from Covid as to be almost immaterial compared to the daily death rate 

but what was the number of deaths last year in India, compared to Thailand ?

what is the number of deaths this year in India  compared to Thailand ?

What is the population of India compared to Thailand ?  77 million, compared to 1.35 billion ?

India is vastly under reporting cases and deaths. Most countries admit their numbers are low.

The lockdowns create very very few problems for me, and most "rich" falangs, unlike the millions of Thais who are losing their livelihoods and struggling to survive, 

And yes, while sad for the individuals and families,  the 400 deaths are no big deal when looking at the overall number of deaths each day/year in Thailand

And there you go again, not acknowledging that the reason that the numbers are so small is because of the strict measures taken to contain it.

what strict measures ?

people still cross the porous borders , people still do not social distance, people still do not wear masks properly, people still meet at parties and drink

Measures, yes, strict ? Only if you want to follow the rules

You complain about the restrictions but claim they don’t exist.
