  1. 10.30 am, after a stop at the supermarket, time for a small brunch with the Miss Planned to get a haircut, but the good boy is off to the jungle 🙄🙄🙄
  2. Sad state of affairs, even if "la perfide Albion" is a bit our historical opponent, you sure don't deserve this. The press and UK government should maybe have stayed a bit more low profile about this new version of C19 and not dramatazing it as they did, which left little choice to other governments but to react in order to "protect their population" Again all a bit overdone in panic IMO. What's next ? A Naval blocade ? Well, at least that would be Brexit sorted !
  3. If I had any it would be those.... FFS, showing off a mask collection.....
  4. Exactly my point... I don't.
  5. Deeply anti Myanmar biaised article (idem for the 2 previous ones btw) in BKK Post. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2038439/samut-sakhon-covid-cases-to-keep-rising Same shit happened in SGP, where construction workers are kept / lodged in slavery like conditions. Not surprising a virus will spread like a wildfire in that kind of environment. Now, as @Escomentionned the vast majority of workers are Myanmar, but what about the customers / buyers in that market ? They are obviously Thai, no ? And very likely coming from different cities and provinces. So we can reasonnably expect some.of those buyers having been infected and brought the thing back to their shops and home towns ? But, anyway let's put some barbered wire around the workers camp, and as mentionned by another genius minister "Situation 'back to normal' within 4 weeks" Again, wait till Thailand start to do some serious mass testing and you'll see the problem....
  6. Probably better in a radio shack, than on a construction site ... Believe me.
  7. Sure mate, sure.... Look the list posted by Esco....Thailand beats France obviously. If you read upside down, as you obviously do. Idiot ! Get sober before posting...
  8. And there we go, the end of the Thai Covid miracle.... Anyway, nice piece of P.R., Tommy !
  9. Lunch at the beach cantine with the Miss. Two glasses of wine only as I went to the dentist 3 days ago to have some cutting done, and I am under antibiotics....
  10. At the beach cantine for lunch... As you can see from the table configurations, life goes on normally here ! Sunday is the day expat families usually meet up for lunch at the beach.
  11. Remove private hospitals and clinics which most ordinary people can not afford. Consider only the (free) public hospitals, things will sure look very different, specially in rural areas.
  12. OK, a few stats for those who are able to read and interpret them. FRANCE : Total deaths since 01/03/20 Data behind the chart, date 07/12/20 2020 2019 2018 Variation 2020 vs 2019 : + 25.898 (+ 16%) Variation 2020 vs 2018 : + 29.186 (+ 18,5%) Those variations are definitively significative, no doubt. Evolution of deaths by age 2020 vs 2019. Self explanatory. Risk is not significative up to 49y, very limited from 50 to 64, clearly much higher risk after that U.K : (Data ONS) Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) Look at non Covid vs Covid death..... Looking up the raw data behind is a bit a pain, can't be bothered to do it.
  13. What a load of ridiculous bollock..... OK, considering what time it is in UK, I will disregard this post ....
  14. Common sense As long no mass testing is done, the "official" numbers mean ZERO, NADA, ZILCH !
  15. Quite the opposite IMO ! It means the numbers are B.S.
  16. Yes, I know... But still, blame mainly the migrants ...... Now go test all test all schools in Samut Sakhon, and see the result ?
  17. That's exactly the problem ...... But, ok, lets not turn this in an another US politic thread ! Back to topic.
  18. A few months ago I posted what I found hilarious, a Belgian minister proposing.to postpone Christmas till summer 2021. Sort of Belgian joke. Now guess what ? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/christmas-covid-postpone-easter-robert-jenrick-b334409.html?amp Government minister today told families to consider postponing festive get-togethers, saying: "Easter can be the new Christmas. https://amp.independent.ie/irish-news/postpone-christmas-until-june-summer-solstice-says-dr-scally-39870688.html Postpone Christmas until June summer solstice, says Dr Scally FFS, the whole world is walking on it's head. Stupidity has become the new standard ...... Again, moving here was my best idea in the last 10 years ! All Europe has gone crazy.
  19. A mod should keep a certain distance / neutrality and sure NOT get deeply involved in the political section.... Basic 101. Same as a cop or a judge can have a political opinion but he leaves it at home when he put on his uniform !
  20. Only for Americans.... Logic, as they are a deeply, bitterly divided biparty society, and have been taughed since long that Rep must hate Dem and vice versa. Hence ANY difference of point of view on ANY subject will be brought back to that and degenerate. Even good old Mangobollocks had that virus ! Sad state of affairs, pretty well explained in a few documentaries. Search Youtube "America, a deeply divided society" It has gone as bad as religious extremisme....
  21. Well, well, well....as I said, with a bit more testing they will discover more cases .... Of course, as usual blame a good part of the responsabilities on : "A majority of the new cases are migrant workers, according to Opas." Anyway, Thai government numbers....to be taken with a large pinch of salt...
  22. NYT number also indicate 1,79 % To be digged in.... But not on my phone ! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html
