Get a hobby. 

 

What's the point though?

That's a good point. A hobby for the sake of a hobby is just killing time. If you need to kill time, what is the point? That would be like treating time as an enemy.

 

Thaivisa is a good distraction though - my posting frequency has increased 10 fold, much to the disappointment of my many sparring partners on here LOL

so true mate. whats the point in staying home all day in front of a computer screen?

I'm missing golf and swimming. My GF lives not far away, so we can visit one another when either or both are in the mood for some humpy rumpy.

I spend time on Thai Visa, talk to friends on the phone. I sit on my online share trading account like a crow on a rubbish bin, looking for juicy scraps. Every problem is an opportunity.

I've taken on an exercise regime Pilotman doesn't like, working in terms of keeping reasonably fit. Who knows, the flexibility section may result in me getting more distance on my drives.

I have plenty of music and film media to keep me entertained. I go shopping every day, Chiang Rai is not locked down. Alternate alcohol-free days with alcohol days.

I guess the ones who will come out better when this is over are those who are comfortable in their own skins, and have self-discipline.

I trust you do not confuse quantity with quality.

In my village in Isan (not Grimsby) it's all very easy, I go out when I want to, people have stopped wearing their masks now that the novelty has worn off and if I want I can go out for a stroll around the market town 17 km away, doesn't seem to be any restrictions, the town is emptier than usual but there are still people (with masks) around and Tesco's is still busy although less so.

No, but you probably do, judging by your post count in the short time you're been on here.

Unfortunately different countries are taking different measures with CV.

 

Thailand is taking some drastic action and if you look a the numbers reported, more people get killed on the highways each year.

 

So what is the cause for this drastic action? Maybe the numbers being reported aren't true?

 

The government can make this out to be the worst thing to ever hit Thailand, appropriate a 1.2 trillion CV budget, and every politician and general will ride off into the sunset with millions of US dollars.

 

The media isn't helping either and has brainwashed the uneducated into believing the sky is falling?????

 

Here in the US, more deaths and reported cases than anywhere in the world. But with 380,000,000 people those deaths are nothing but a tiny decimal place, well below cancer and others.

 

Some areas of the US have no CV, other large cities have it worse like New York.

 

I think we have had 18 positive cases where I live in a county of 600,000 people. 

 

99% of the businesses are open.

 

Lots of food.

 

Gas is going lower every day.

 

First round of government $1,200 stimulus checks going out.

 

Get to work from home, which is the best thing ever. No more having to sit in 10 meetings a day for no apparent reason.

 

People in general are keeping their social distance and just seem to be behaving nice than ever.

 

I am sure different people with different circumstances are taking it hard.

 

I personally would not want to be in Thailand, trusting the current gov't to make the best decisions for the people. 

 

 

IMO you are living in a fool's paradise. The US has more COVID-19 infections than any other country, by a factor of three. Every city in America with a low tax base and decayed infrastructure is going to be hit, and you have plenty of them. Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago plus many more. New York is just the entree. You think lines of people queueing up at gun shops is a positive sign? A medical system that has been geared to profit for decades?

I am what your immigration bureaucrats quaintly term an alien. I couldn't get into the USA anyway. Having said that, America is the last place on earth I would want to be now.

I’m still in Oz, and I think like that sometimes, until I’m halfway though the stuff...

Well, if I look at the approval ratio, I'd say other posters consider my posts to be better quality than yours.

What's with this short time BS? How long do I have to be here before fossils decide I am sufficiently atrophied?

maybe, but the sea is dark, muddy, cold and uninviting. It looks like it exists in 1955, when I used to visit as a kid,  and is mighty depressing. It was then too, bar the fish and chips and ice cream.
