...........sub-district chiefs, village heads, sub-district health officials, sub-district inspectors, assistant village heads and finally, if there is anything left..................... to the territorial defense volunteers...............who are probably the only ones at any serious risk

To continue with Will's points: no money for nurses? doctors? staff? you know, those that came face to face with real life patients....

The other batch getting snouts in the trough... disgusting but expected.

Utterly greedy and disgusting... 

 

'Pigs at the trough’.... that really is all that this is about....

You've been paying attention I see.

Now I understand why police don't visit the many 'restaurants' that have sprung up on Soi Sex Pattaya - there's no allowance for them.

No issue with front-line health-care workers, especially the 1 million village health care providers, getting a booster.

 

 

 

Hazard pay for the headman? Some of these others: sub-district chiefs, village heads, sub-district inspectors, assistant village heads and territorial defense volunteers? Nope.
