What exactly is the problem that has become so unbearable for others here? For me, I can still go shopping, buy food, run my kids to school, dine out, drink beer with my mates, go to beach or a National Park, stay in a hotel, access unlimited high-speed internet and enjoy uncensored social media video chat with family and friends back home, bring money into the country, buy a condo, order stuff online, etc., etc.. Glad this country serves your needs so perfectly ...some of us currently stuck outside of thailand would like to return to our families, mates, condos and all the lovely same ways you exploit being a guest of the Kingdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who crave an actual life will be out lynching these fools and cowards who want to keep everything locked down forever.. All for the sake of a slightly worse than average flu. Was reading a post from a Swedish Doctor based in a major hospital there. He says the number of cases are reducing very steadily, his hospital rarely even sees a case any more. He is of the opinion that they are very close to herd immunity, and that other countries like the US where the case numbers were very high are probably close as well. In fact notice how the media now cites case numbers rather than deaths in many locales to try and keep the fear up. Cases are irrelevant as based on unreliable testing and that the recovery rate is close to 100%. However he suspects isolated lock down countries like Australia and New Zealand have very little herd immunity and that they will have to stay locked down for years if an effective vaccine doesn't appear. The vaccine Australia has already put a $250 million deposit (ka-ching) down on is hoping to attain 50% effectiveness. If so expect that doctor will be right. As to Thailand not sure where they would sit, however would expect they will go with a Chinese vaccine, lets see if compulsory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to say that the covid crisis will result in a more significant impact on the economy. Are we to believe that the post covid £ will be worth more than double what it is today?

sandyf Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 3 hours ago, TheFreqFlyer said: That's the thing. Countries can and do emerge from the rubble, so to speak. The longer the country remains closed, the longer this process will take and the harder it will be. You are quite right and history has shown how resilient Thailand can be. There is a bit more to it though than being closed, economic recovery is also dependent on how much debt has been accrued during the crisis. The Thai government has been much maligned over their control on the purse strings but other countries have dug a financial hole that will take generations to get over. The effect on the Thai economy pales into insignificance compared to some of the oil producers like Iraq that are almost totally dependent on one revenue source. Only time will tell how recovery gets implemented but I should imagine that countries around the world that were heavily dependent on tourism, or any other hard hit sector, will have learned a lesson and be reluctant to put things back as they were. Diversity will take on a whole new meaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me put 400k in a dodgy Thai bank, when I wanted that money in my UK bank. It made me cut short one holiday in Siem Reap (March), cancelled another holiday to Phnom Penh (April), and probably missed two holidays I would have had in Vietnam. But on the plus side ........ It's reduced my mortgage rate from 6.25% to 4.75%. Reduced my kids university fees from 16k to 12k, and my other kids Junior school 'extras' from 8k to 6k. Gave me enough money (saved from no holidays) to buy a real motorcycle at a bargain price (Thai sellers are desperate). And made my sideline girl very affordable, as she claims I'm her only customer left (apart from a guy in Oz who sends her money for 'phone sex'. tell her ill have phone sex with him and you'll save a few more quid.

Lets add that one to the list. - Done! ???? The virus comes from bats The origin of the virus may be bat soup It comes from Wuhan open air wet markets All Chinese wet markets should be closed immediately There is an intermediate animal vector

cancer patients Dying from cancer or heart disease is OK but not if you have Covid 19 Then it is horrible, Covid 19 deaths are horrible The hospitals must stand empty, waiting for the onslaught We will need thousands of new intensive care ventilators It’s all about flattening the curve It’s not about flattening the curve Social Distancing must be 1.5 meters (exactly) Staying Apart Keeps Us

It's my choice whether to pump obnoxious chemicals (as you call them, but I wouldn't) into my body, Your very quick to be so personal in your attack, not appreciated. I'm 75 years old, and there's obvious proof from many countries that older folks catch the virus more quickly and are much more likely to die. Plus I have a severe recurring COPD (bronchitis) condition (lung damage from my war service in Vietnam) which makes even more likely that if I catch the virus I will be very ill quickly and probably die. Plus in the past I have had pneumonia, again at my age making it more easy to get very sick quick from the virus and death more likely. So I'll take the vaccine. No further discussion thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
