This can't be true? We have been told on a quite a few occasions that the government have it under control.

I'm not sure which one is a contender for fake news now.

Yep, markets closed, masks required if two or more people are in the car together.  No swimming in the ocean, quarantines for those exposed.  

Oh but hold my beer while we set up places to get you vaccinated.  I am sure glad that Covid can't spread in any of these centers while waiting to get vaccinated.

It was like this at MTT immigration when making a 90 day in person report in April 2021.

Kill the economy, close all entertainment, force mask wearing - then suggest that if Thais want their freedom and lives back to take a jab.  Coming in the next couple of months.  Problem, reaction, solution with a carrot and a stick.
Until then - maximum pressure on the plebs.

It fascinates me that golf courses and large shopping malls are open for business as usual (decorated with hydrogels and QR codes) while vendors living off marginal profits in fresh markets are punished. 

 

It looks like a very selective virus. Exclusive and posh I would dare say. It seems more like something installed in the lower echelons of society than in anyone's immune system. Interesting.
