IHME projects 3 billion new COVID-19 cases by February

Says it all.

Great. So one can aspire to be among the 4.9 billion globally who won't get it by February 2022.

 

Re the IMHE model info linked above:

 

“Sure, this (IMHE model) is a potential outcome,” said Julie Swann, professor at North Carolina State University who studies pandemic modeling and health systems. “How certain am I that this is the outcome? Not certain at all.”

Thailand is effectively closed as of now because of the statement made to stop T & G

Nobody is going to trust coming to Thailand, and on Day 7 have PCR test that could be positive, and then confined to an expensive Quarantine Facility

Isn't insurance that covers possible quarantine a requirement? I get confused by all the changes.

Can you explain to me the logic of "mucking about" on a motor bike with a mask, or travelling with your wife in a car and having to wear a mask?

 

Also explain how the doctor is going to enforce not speaking to your family while having a meal at home at your own dinner table?

 

I can understand the logic of having to wear one in supermarkets etc, but really...?

Its in the supermarket and malls near me that  i see only 95% of the farangs not wearing masks. Obviously not in home or in cars.

Must be different in your neck of the woods then - here nearly everyone wears a mask in a shop, and in large supermarkets like Macro there is even a security guard at the entrance to remind you!

Having said that, there are many smaller shops where the staff do not bother with masks, and 95% of them are Thais!

That surprises me, I use only Big-CX, but would not say so many are not wearing masks or not wearing them properly. I might agree that of those not wearing masks, or not wearing them properly, 95% are falang.

Around Jomtien Complex it is a rarity to see a farang wearing a mask , sadly. A lot of them seem to be tourists staying in hotels or such there.

What became 'temporary' in March 2020 has stretched to 2 years. Hopefully, this 'temporary' is really temporary.

Only 3 days before the big review on the 4th....what's the word?

 

Open everything back up and let omicron rip as the latest flu to gain immunity is my vote ????
