zzaa09 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Mitigation protocol became quite lax to the point of indifference some months ago. Hence, the record-setting surges. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Simply because they are not specifically banned. Thats the whole problem with Thai lockdowns. Interpretation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I recall article maybe month or so ago stating that taxi drivers (2 or 4 wheel) were near front of the line in getting vax. Even an article about someone who had fake vest trying to get a shot. Did they all get jabs? Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post matador007 Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 Because people need to get around. You really think taxi's should stop operating ? Mind blowing you can even think and say this. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makro is now handing out gloves for those of you who like to play with the melons. I am sure this will help many as covid19 jumps on everything you touch. In the end when you take off the gloves the cashier picks the gloves up in his bare hands and throws them away. They are not there yet, maybe next week they will have a bin for the gloves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The government lost interest when they failed to make a decent amount of money out of enforcing the restrictions. I think Prayut and Anutin have now invested a lot of money in crematorium futures... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybe not in your citcle, but there were loads worldwide saying that, certainly not 'everyone' as quoted and most certainly not 'only antivaxxers', but Catoni is right, attitudes have changed..............more a kind of 'follow the herd thing/if he hasn't died, I'll give it a go then' approach......................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
