Yeah, yes and no. Living in western, modern and great country where robber has rights too. So killing robber causes you probation or jail back here, which does not matter if its life threatening situation or not. Like we say criminals have more rights than ordinary people and police only job is cleaning bodies afterwards. Weird thinking that all people must have equal rights, whatever they are bad individuals or good. So who is abusing the system... Hard to make "world is happy place and we need to respect everyone" people to understand that they are cause for these problems.

Right, checked some local news, and surprisingly...all were tested when arriving (this means all berry pickers, Thailand, Ukraine etc.). No infections. Took company bus, and travelled to the housing where they did additional testing after a while (during these couple of days they did not leave housing) and guess what, tens of them were tested positive (not people who were helping except company boss several days later). So now under quarantine and most of them back to negative (one of company which hired them). Of course business down and seems to be that officials are giving hard times to companies when checking them and requesting improvements. Of course who to blame, they knew risks and airport testing is not telling the truth. Berry pickers? Knowing that in the right conditions they could earn 3-4 times yearly income in Thailand, anyone would take a risk for that. Anyway seems to be that many of them are back to work earning by doing hard work. I would not go there, knowing how many bugs are awaiting fresh blood ????

Numbers from corporates and governments having own interests are always massaged more or less. Its question of face or billions of dollars sales and share value. Millions of deaths are not the first thing to be considered even it sounds cruel, that have been seen multiple times. Independent studies would do it, but of course, is there any left as corruption seems to be everywhere nowadays. Most likely only way to remove this cancer would be harsh (final) punishment in countries where possible, corporate not protected by government and banning deliveries where it is. So meaning when it causes by purpose thousands of unnecessary deaths or billions of dollars wasted money. Going to happen...naah...too many money men and politicians involved.

Ou my, could not stop laughing at all ????. Its going to be hard to beat this one. Definitely land of smiles, or maybe better land of laughs ????.

Thailand needs to speed up vaccinations. India variant hit here hard few weeks back, like my home town x10 cases compared beginning of the year. But hospitalised and died numbers are at the same level than before. People just don't get the serious symptoms so much anymore. And new cases are mainly 20-29, who most active and not really listening. Vaccination levels are 70% 1st and 35% both, so that's what Thailand needs to achieve fast.
