Popular Post webfact Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 Picture: INN A battling health minister and DPM Anutin Charnvirakul came out all guns blazing yesterday when faced with a grilling by opposition MPs on the government's handling of the pandemic. INN quoted Anutin as saying that Thailand's response was as good as any country in the world. Everything that he and his excellent health services have done was for the benefit of the Thai people and others living in the country. He said that the vaccine program exemplified this and in response to questions about how long it will continue he pledged that the program will continue until Thailand is as safe as it can get. He reiterated that Thailand was being cautious in what age children received the vaccine; this was an example of the responsibility and standards shown by Thailand, he claimed. The comments come as his leader - PM Prayuth Chan-ocha - boasted of Thailand's economic prowess insisting that Thailand is better able to handle inflation and the rising cost of living than other countries. During Friday's general debate in the House opposition MPs blasted the government on several issues with the pandemic and the economy front and central.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) This clown would say or do anything, to deflect from his historic failure of the vax program, the highly selective shutdowns, the favoritism toward cronies, and the collapse of the economy and tourism. He does not have the humility, or the wisdom to acknowledge or even to see his own mistakes. That is part of what makes him so dangerous. The extent to which Anutin and Cha Cha have failed the nation is mind boggling. They will likely be subjects of classes at the university level, 100 years from now, entitled "Who was responsible for the collapse of the Thai economy in the 21st century?". Or "How did Thailand drop from 22nd in the world, to 89th in GDP, in 25 short years?". Edited February 19, 2022 by spidermike007 56 1 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 One side blasts the other, this is a common thing around the world, they are all the same, same s-h-i-t different smell, I say, always dividing, no one works in unity, except the general public when they have all had enough, Canada and a few others are examples, and of course once they raise their heads in peaceful protests, they go straight for their leaders to dismantle the protesters. Who will Thailand have next to govern them, one would hope it's better than this mob, in hindsight they would have probably been better off now with who was in power prior to the two previous two coups, just my opinion. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 1 hour ago, webfact said: battling health minister and DPM Anutin Charnvirakul came out all guns blazing yesterday Firing blanks no doubt. The trouble with blanks is that whilst they appear, to the firer, to be impressive fire and fury, to the " enemy forces" and anyone else observing they are just noises popping off in the distance. "Guns blazing" only works if they produce "effective enemy fire" on the recipients. That has the sound ( the supersonic crack of bullets passing close) and the sight of casualties falling. You don't get that with blanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post khunPer Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 When looking at facts - i.e. number of deaths with Covid-19 per million - is he actually fairly correct, even some may not appreciate it. Thailand has 322 deaths per million population as per today. Lets compare with death per million in some major Western countries... Canada: 940 France: 2.083 Germany: 1,445 Italy: 2,530 Sweden: 1,648 Switzerland: 1,498 UK: 2,342 USA: 2,868 and the World in average: 756 2 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Really ? Thailand is 146th in test per million ! I guess if you consider 146th as first place then he's right If tests per million had any significant value, then Denmark would be number one in the World, no other country comes near to the number of Danish's tests with 10,441,550 tests taken per million inhabitants; number two on the list is Italy with only 2,975,910 tests per million. For Denmark that number means that whole population have been tested more than 10 times, yet 10-20 percent of the population have never been near a test-site. So how well has Denmark then performed during the pandemic in the figure that matters, namely number of deaths per million? Denmark should be outstanding, if tests has major protection value, but unfortunately the fact is 730 death per million population. Note that Thailand - number 146 down the list in Covid-tests per million - has only 322 death per million population. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most things in Thailand it is all a lie designed to save face. Edited February 19, 2022 by tlcwaterfall 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
