Thats a quick spread, we need an update on the variant now? Phuket has a large muslim community, I suspect there are far more infections there waiting to be found from this.

Is this not a Boarding School where students are taught the Koran. If so the spread is caused by contractors and delivery guys Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So Phuket has at least 3 out of the 4 variants and has only given 1 jab to 70pc of it's population setting aside any incoming workforce and STILL wants to invite the world to 'Plague (free) Island' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
