As the numbers here have never demanded for such extreme measures. 

Remembering the first full year of the COVID era [pre-vaccine] when Thailand was among one of the top list as to least number of documented infected/deaths. Whereas, throughout the U.S. and Europe [comparatives examples], the high numbers haven't changed dramatically whatsoever [vaccination or not] - surge after surge, repressed lockdown policy after another. This picture continues to be not so pretty. 

 

Yet, there is the continuous angst/critique, within this venue, that Thailand is/or will be doomed with high numbers - when it's truly not that bad.....compared to other supposed superior societies. 

 

Stones and glass houses come to mind. 

Remember how strict the regulations were when Thailand had so few deaths? Ya think that there might be a connection?

Also, Thailand may have had few deaths but not as few as the official statistics show
