Over 590 temples throughout Thailand are offering free cremation services for those who die from COVID-19, as the national death toll steadily rises, said Prime Minister’s Office Minister Anucha Nakasai Sunday.

 

These include 62 temples in Bangkok, 124 temples in and around the capital and 407 in the rest of the country.

Many temples in and around the capital are currently overwhelmed with cadavers waiting to be cremated and some crematoria have broken down or collapsed due to overheating.

I always thought these many temples served no real purpose in society but this is very commendable. Good for them.

[gargamon]

Yeah, and in the 2004 tsunami they were burning bodies, allegedly including foreigners, without keeping records...

Thats a relief.

And what about the other 29,500 temples? Will they be offering free funerals too?

Remember the forensic pathologist who said in a Aseannow published news story about people dying on the streets that those people who died of Covid are not communicable?  My statement was that that "expert" opinion would be completely ignored and that government regulations will be that respondents must dress in full HAZMAT suits and spray disinfectant everywhere. 

After 16 months of non-stop propaganda people are literally programmed. They can't be unprogrammed.  These fear producing scenes will keep showing up on the media as the media sees itself as the agencies which must promote unending fear - because fear makes money. Fear sells medical supplies and alcohol.  Fear sells PPE and vaccines.

This is right up there with corporate stores, businesses and government offices forcing people to put alcohol gel on their hands.  After 16 months people are programmed.  They can't be unprogrammed.  Programming creates fear and fear sells alcohol and disinfectants.  Even research published by the CDC show that infection via surface contact has a probability of 1 out of 10,000¹.  Don't let research get in the way.  Keep promoting fear.  Fear sells.

And regarding the article - watch "Official Covid Deaths" skyrocket as a typical Thai funeral costs between 100,000 to 200,000 THB even in 'poor' Thailand villages.  Suddenly everyone who dies will have "died of Covid."
Now add another 10,000 THB to the funeral in order to properly disinfect the temple area, the crematorium area, the view area, and acquiring Hazmat Suits for all participants including disinfecting the outside, and the inside of the 1800 degree Fahrenheit crematorium as you simply can't be too safe with the Covid plague.  It's common knowledge.  Everyone knows this now.  People are programmed.  They no longer can be unprogrammed.
 

^{1 Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) studies have been conducted to understand and characterize the relative risk of SARS-CoV-2 fomite transmission and evaluate the need for and effectiveness of prevention measures to reduce risk. Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection}

Hopefully you won't need that.
