Good, instead of fudging numbers everyday, you have to do it twice a month.

Realising how trivial it has become in the great scheme of things, expect someone in power will be dropping masks next. Yeah right!

[jacko45k]

Even I have stopped looking at these numbers now... it is done, dusted, just the cobwebs to clean up. 

(And what did we learn from it all?)

So how about the masks, we wear them twice a month? Every other Friday?

Funny, fudging the numbers but still making foreigners apply on the willy wonka golden ticket scam pass  to get in

Phuket just dropped the mask mandate there, and BKK's new Governor is looking at doing it here as well.  The issue now isn't the reporting it is the fact that they will still use the virus as a reason to keep the emergency decree in place and the Thai pass.  As many countries have always had an application process for a tourist Visa, be it a Visa on arrival like you need to enter into Laos at a border crossing or even enter Vietnam, e-visa, Thailands Thai pass will stay as long as they believe it is necessary.  However, the Thai pass will not keep people in the country already from spreading the virus, much like a common cold, or the Flu has been spread in the past.

Never done and dusted, but has become more like the reporting which few look at for the Flu, Dengue fever etc....We will always have Covid cases, and people who are sick from having the virus should isolate themselves from others like they have in the past with the Flu, the common cold, yet it was only a fraction that were thoughtful of others and did it while many others went to work and so on, and without a mask as they coughed, spat and sneezed those germs across the buses, MRT/BTS, and even in Malls and shopping centers.

So why keep the restrictions if the cases are so low that there is only a need to report twice a month?? Let us get back to our normal life please,

I will tell you what I learned.  There are some cracking looking young nurses giving us or assisting the process for our free Pfizer vaccinations in Udon Thani.  I have only had three visits but it is a shame it will not be forever ????

Why do people get so annoyed about masks?

 

Should government ban condoms as well, since HIV is now endemic?

They have just reversed this decision and masks must still be worn.

Flip Flopping continues.  Someone must have had their rear end torn apart by a higher power.  This is starting to become and endemic issue, no not Covid, but the flip flopping.

What I learned is that getting 2 vaccines and one booster, saved my life. I contracted COVID, likely omicron and

took 9 days before finally testing negative with the rapid tests. I also have been to funerals of some of my friends,

and two family members who were much younger than me, but they did not want the vax, and now their wives are

widows. That is what I learned. Has any other posters lost someone close to them? One of my cousins who died, I was close 

to, and miss him now. I see posters on this forum who seem to be lucky people, but do not appreciate that they are still

living.  JUST SAYING..

I have learned many can be very self centered and inconsiderate of others I suppose.

Someone should tell that nut, what's his name, Anut something or rather, the real ugly so called health minister who isn't a Dr at all, but holds that portfolio.
