I've been stuck outside Thailand away form the wife for 16 months, BUT if they shut Thailand down until Jan 1 and inject what they can and open up without hoops 100% then I'm ok with the delay, at least we can plan.

we know, many landlords levy a surcharge on top of normal electricity costs charged by the power companies. I suppose, if this is part of the contract you sign up for, then all is fair, like love and war. 

You dummy. Only an idiot would sign whatever is in front of them without question

This is simple to answer. 

 

No one earlier said the numbers were fake, they were just incomplete due to lack of testing. 

 

In fact, testing is still very low.  What is generating the higher numbers are hospital walk-ins. But that means that new reported infections are largely symptomatic individuals. If the government tested more, there would be more reported asymptomatic cases. 

 

Nobody said they were fake? There have been hundreds of post screaming fake,! 

In the mind of a Thai basher good news reported is 100 % fake 

However if bad news is reported its 100 % true 

They are sad <deleted>

Thailand is not the relatively easy retirement country it was 20 years ago and if i was considering retiring here now I would reject the idea.  Having said that,OP is right, many of us have a wife/partner, assets, etc here and have maybe burned most of our bridges at home, so regardless of the political or Covid situation here - both of which are pretty dire - I suspect most of us will stay put, simply because it is too difficult to do otherwise.

Tell us what country is easy to retire to compared to 20 years ago?

Cramped plane? You must be joking.. I just flew in 30 seats on the plane taken and every one vaxed including a swab before boarding.
