Just a thought but isn't it winter in Sweden now ? isn't that normally the time when hospitals are stretched to their limits ?

P.S. have you seen all the new development just north of The Ambassador?
Nope can't say I've noticed anything near the Pinnacle though if it can't be seen from the Sukhumvit road I wouldn't have seen it.

unless you are right on the beach that has got to be pretty true anywhere...
Do you remember the VT7 debacle ? there was a very long thread in this forum somewhere about it
in essence they "re-defined" where the shore line was measured from so that the condo could be built less than 100 meters from the old shoreline.

are prices higher in the franchised sub-post offices than they are in the main branches?
Yes that's how they make a bit of profit for themselves, the customer gets the "convenience" of not having to go all the way to the main post office.

There is a huge new project starting next to the Ambassador, ICON SIAM.
Not that I've really had a good look but I've seen no progress on that site when driving past since they put up the big white hoardings ...its nearer to the Ocean Marina than Ambassador nearly opposite the spur road leading to motorway 7

Most of the covid infection deaths have been from farang countries.
Quite a few where elderly in care homes mistakes where made there for sure.
I asked the esteemed Thaivisa POTY 2020 winner how many elderly Thais
live in care homes but she had no information,my guess is not many ?
Also the countries worst hit may have had mild winters the year before
meaning that there where more elderly/at risk people for the virus to claim.
Thailand is warm and lots of people live a more "outside lifesytle" doors and windows open all day lots of intense UV light to kill viruses and produce vitamin D
There has been suggestions of a DNA difference in those worst effected.
Also a suggestion that exposure to previous viruses like SARS (covid 1) could have provide immunity.

Very true but we both know why mass testing will most certainly not happen , the results might prove to be inconvenient !
I don't think mass testing will help anything anyway as most people don't die from the WuFlu a lot don't even know they have/had it as the symptoms where mild ( yes there have been people who died)
of course if someone turns up at hospital with severe symptoms then a test for COVID would be appropriate
testing everyone in the world just doesn't make sense especially with the "false negatives" and "false positives"
due to testing errors...unless you want to collect everyone's DNA..I'm sure there are governments and companies that would love to have all that juicy information...to "keep you safe" of course. !

I hope someone does a study into exactly why Thailand has apparently suffered so few infections/deaths from COVID-19
I very much hope so too, incredible when there where millions of Chinese tourists including 7000 directly from Wuhan at the start of the year.
One thing that may have helped a bit was that there where many people wearing face masks at that time due to the extremely bad air pollution.

Its easy...if it comes from a government source then its "real" anywhere else it could be fake or maybe not
but anyway they are saying "trust only us we are the only true news source"

Well it just so happens that the minimum wage is around 300 baht per day so it doesn't surprise me that the large majority are spending less than 300 baht per day simply because they do not have any more to spend on food let alone the mortgage,car/bike repayments,electricity,mobile phone,clothing etc etc.....

I believe its going to be the "temporary" office for the Sukhumvit road widening project you can see they are laying new drainages/sewage pipes and a new water main then one more lane may be both ways.
I'll try to remember to get a good ( higher resolution) photo of the sign in the OP above this afternoon then all should become clear ( cause it will be readable
)
