If sliced bread is sold out, buy cake instead.

Makes for a great breakfast with a few sausage patties in between two slices of a nice frosted cake, and covered in syrup.  You'll have enough calories to last a few days in between meals that way.

No vaccine (fully) stops virus transfer, it just stops people getting very sick (unless it is from the CCP then it does not a lot of anything against most of the Greek alphabet). So following your logic Thailand is doomed to be shut forever...

So obviously false it's not even worth mentioning vaccines against polio, measles, smallpox etc. Oops I just did.

Yes I should have written as below but I thought as this was about AZ and Covid it was a little superfluous (in reality just laziness from me but as I am in Thailand I have to protect my face!)

I should have thought you might have meant that.

I am in danger from my stacks of empties, it would not be out of place in Northern China. Don't get the scavenger trucks coming up the road lately.

And neither embarrassed, nor remorseful.

 

Though I did get tired of eating sardines on crackers, long after the all clear sounded.

Chicken doesn't have a long shelf life....

Who said it was just chicken?

 

From the OP link to full article

 

“At a mall, in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district, many shelves are empty, lacking items such as instant noodles, canned fish, snacks, boxed milk and meat. At a convenience store, in Bang Khen district, sausages and other ready-made food, including sweets, are at a low volume as well.”

People need excuses to elevate prices in inflationary environment most of the time.

Any small disruption to the food supply chain in Thailand ( and elsewhere ) leads to potential price gouging and profiteering.

A short while ago the price of cooking Gas that the Street Vendors use was increased by about 15 Baht on a 8 Kg Bottle. ( I think )

So, the vendors tried to increase the meal price by 5 baht per Meal.

Gouging and Profiteering, as maybe upwards of 50 meals can be cooked off the Gas Bottle.

It all backfired, as the punters refused to pay the increases, and voted with their feet.

The prices soon came back down.

Its hard to find chicken thighs and pork tenderloin the last week in upper Sakon Nakhon.

 

I woke up early the next morning and bought a lot to fill one of refrigerators.  I left a few kilograms for the common folk though.
