Popular Post Airalee Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Thai people I know aren’t so much panicking over Covid as they are to the constant shutdowns of their businesses leaving them with no way to have an income. They all seem to be aware that the symptoms are usually mild and most of those that I know live healthy lifestyles and don’t have the same comorbidities that the Thaivisa bar brigade have so they don’t live in fear of the virus. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I've very little time for the Thai government, but I can't find much to criticise about their handling of the current wave. Everybody seemed to be expecting more lockdowns, school closures and alcohol bans, but common sense seems to be prevailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Malaysia is bracing for Omicron infection to reach 30,000 by March and Singapore been forewarned of 'few times' more than 3,000 cases in October. We have to be vigilant, get vaccinated and follow science. Keep safe folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokReady Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The choice to not restrict anything around new year's, then bring in restrictions now, has a bit of a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" feel to it. I don't think anyone can really moan about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nattaya09 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Great time to break the news that the actual case number is probably 10x higher. Then leverage the renewed panic into reviving your fading vax rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
