I went to the driving range in the evening and took a beer from 7/11.... Felt a bit guilty putting it on the table...as everyone else was drinking coffee... Except they weren't, they were drinking beer out of plastic cups, served by the Thai shopkeepers at the range who would come out and fill the beakers at regular intervals. The range is owned by local bigwigs. Everyone knows what is going on. It's the same in bars and restos now. This is why I don't fear the alcohol ban being lifted. People are already drinking together. Everyone knows it, and if you don't, well, you're not really on the ball.

Vaccinated individuals are much less likely to be carriers, though certainly not impossible.
It is all a numbers game.
The passports also will have any test history, so "super spreaders" are less likely.
No guarantees.

If you don't get vaccinated, you're far more likely to get very sick and possibly die after infecting everyone around you with your nonsense. You don't want to live in fear of what? Multiple vaccination and having to wear a mask? How is that living in fear? You're doing what society has deemed the way to respond to a pandemic as determined by experts. Not what some idiot high school dropout wrote on the Internet, actual trained experts.
Or you can take horse dewormer. Thoughts and prayers.
Why do you sarcastically write "thoughts and prayers" ? I mean , who does that? I note that with your recycling of the tired "horse dewormer" meme you out yourself as someone who wishes to continue to deny the effectiveness of early treatment. Why would you do that when it has benefitted so many? Many vaccinated people are getting sick. Many experts disagree with the constant lockdowns. Characterising anyone who has an alternative viewpoint as a high-school dropout is silly, and demeans only yourself. In short, your post comes up short in many ways and is worthy only of contempt. You need to up your game.

Most people I know here in Thailand haven't had it... There is a lot of hype and unnecessary fear. This new tactic of vaxxing schoolchildren is a horror show and criminal in my eyes.

These guys are always gonna be safety first. Their job is to protect from Covid. However, it is not their job to assess the impacts of lockdowns and all the other measures. It is up to other people in Thailand to speak up to say "hey, we know you guys mean well, but... enough is enough... "... or whatever you wanna say. My point being, is that there is a wider picture, the health of and well-being of a "free" society, and who has got their finger on that pulse?

The Indian variant certainly needs to be taken seriously. Transmission rate is much faster than Covid.01 and will spread like wild fire with poor controls in place to manage it. I'm not sure this mob are going to be up to it. Could be time to bunker down for the onslaught. ????
nearly every doom-mongering prediction on here has not been realized, but I am not really surpised to see yet another one...

1 minute ago, WineOh said:4,000+ cases today.
Bit different from 5/10 cases that were being reported just a couple months ago, isn't it?
I'd say the floodgates are now open, and if not they are bursting at the seams.
there has been a "third ripple" bringing around 2000 cases per day, but this figure has been stable for a week or two now... I heard they are now closing the field hospitals in Chiang Mai because they are not needed. This is at odds with your assessment of the floodgates being opened. I don't think the 2500 prison cases can be reliably added to the figure for the general population, and even if you chose to, then that surely wouldn't have happened in a single day.

It was inevitable and oh so predictable.
There is no social distancing at all in Chonburi. Markets are crowded as normal with ridiculous amounts of people there. The market in Naklua was rammed with people last night and motorbikes lined up like sardines in a can.
I don't think the average Thai understands that going to these places is a health risk or maybe they don't care.
Oh well, we are about to witness a major crisis IMO.
another doom-monger.... why are people so fond of doom-mongering and hand-wringing?

I think he is suggesting many people die from the virus and as no mention of "large percentage" was made it seems you have misled yourself on this occasion and accused the poster of a misleading statement so perhaps a little chillout time is needed to re-read his post.
if someone says that many of the people who get the virus will die, this is misleading given the actual figures... I am perfectly chilled out, thank you.

They will survive two weeks in a hotel. Unlike many of those who get the virus.
unlike many of those who get the virus? are you suggesting that a large percentage of the people who get the virus actually end up dying? are you aware of the actual death % in Thailand? It's misleading statements like this that help generate so much controversy around the nature of C19.

I wonder how many years are you going to accept covering your face? seriously, I mean how many? if we don't have faces, we are not human, life is short... We need to protect life... but that assumes life is meaningful and worth living... cowering in our homes and covering our faces for years kinda diminishes what life is....

There is a reason we are treated to a non-stop flow of nonsense. The whole world-wide covid response is fully overblown and the narratives are being controlled very tightly by centralised organisations. When you try to control and suppress, sooner or later you end up with absurdity. I have no idea when any of this will cease, and what's to stop them pulling another corona out of their asses and repeating the whole shebang? A situation we all thought would last a few months is now clearly going to last more than one year and beyond... The possibility that this may go on for years without end does not sit well with me. How long will you, personally, tolerate the nonsense?

yeah this is interesting, I will follow and continue to explore possibilities --overall I have been impressed with Lazada in all my dealings with them, altho that has only involved my purchases (and returns) so far...

This is a very tough one.
I am not sure there is much you can do.
The only hope is that the Thais develop their awareness and adapt their social habits. Social behaviour here is generally very well-established and hard to change as you have probably noticed (I am not passing judgment here). Also, often the default tendency is to ignore anything that threatens the sabai of daily routine, especially if it might mean anything involving admitting a mistake/being inconvenienced etc. This probably sums up my own attitude too
That said, there are some super Thais who are flexible and considerate enough to meet-up and find a mutually agreeable way forwards.
I have seen some positive moves in the last 10 years - the Thais have improved their driving; cycling is now considered ok and not a sign of low class; some are now even aware of where they talk on the their phone and how loud it is for others.
I can only emphasise with you and wish you good luck.

Hmmm, this rain in Chiang Mai today snuck up from the South - an unusual pattern... Certainly feels and looks different from the normal localised storms - no thunder just a lot of rain over a very wide area...
-
Chiang Mai is strictly enforcing the curfew - police and officials are around bang on the button at midnight closing bars etc. !

Observation deck, why bother as you still won't be able to see anything through the smog and smoke.
there's plenty of visibility after a good rain shower
