it's not rocket science, the world has shown what needs to be done so there's little need for new or critical thinking which is good as most Thai's in authority ain' capable of that

 

Stop pussyfooting about and start enforcing the rules and start delivering on those vaccines you keep spouting off about and maybe, just maybe there might be an end to this, flip flopping and waffle will solve nothing...

Agreed.  Where's a guy like Stalin when you need him.  The world needs heavy hands to make the public fear and obey and this crisis would end in a matter of weeks!
"Flatten the curve" and your freedoms return. But see.  The public refused to obey there betters and here we are 18 months later in worse shape then ever.  The public needs an iron rod.  Like in Australia.  Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Ah yes, Stalin. A man so worthy that he was responsible for 20m deaths of his own people and the setting up of gulags.

I think Thailand is probably better off without him around, so perhaps you could keep him in Australia.
