Great post.

Sounds like we are in agreement. And to put things in perspective; Boris in the UK was telling everyone it was perfectly safe to shake hands in the middle of the pandemic as well, little after he caught covid himself, and in other parts of Europe they insisted for many months that wearing the mask wouldn't help the spread either. In summary, leaders globally have failed to contain this fcukin thing.

No president would have been able to stop covid in the US. He could have done a better job in containing it no doubt, but the US population with all its "underlying morbidities" and massive gap between the rich and poor is almost perfectly suited for this horrible virus to spread I'm sorry to say.

2021 off to a grand start aye.

For what it's worth I don't recall him badmouthing you or your Mrs either mate. Anyway, the thread was about farming not VPI lol. Id got for hemp if I were the OP 🙂

Cactus John on Cowboy..

I thought they took quite a balanced approach actually. Sure Trump got some bashing but so did Biden. I gave it the thumbs up on Netflix.

Probably through third party apps making your PC's OS similar to that of your phone and tablet, which is apparently what the new generation prefers.

I just saw this post come by on social media. I wasn't aware but apparently migrant workers get a pink ID card instead of a nonB visa.

Keep it to covid FFS.

So there's a UK variant, South African variant, and there already doubts about the effectiveness of the vaccines. its rather doubtful the virus won't mutate further isn't it? What's the answer going to be? Get jabs every year, every 6 months or worse?

No surprise after last night's announcement. The market doesn't like surprises.

If they are Thai citizens they have a right to go home.

Oh FFS 😂😂😂😂

No change for me. Been working from home full time since March and expect it will drag on for most of the year. I was looking forward to traveling across the region but the recent outbreak rules that out for the foreseeable future, even in Thailand. I'm lucky to have my family with me to keep me sane and not work around the clock everyday, and so far we can still go out in weekends to the beach etc. Even if that stops we can keep ourselves company indoors. For those suffering from depression no matter how light; don't be afraid to ask for support gents. It's a serious condition and your friends won't always recognise it but trust on them to be there and help you though these tough times.

Another win in the bag in the H2H. Next week will be tough with many teams not playing..

Typically private hospitals/clinics provide this testing service for people that require a negative test eg for travel. I went to one in Holland before coming here and they also stated clearly not to go there if you had symptoms. There are (should be?) dedicated test facilities for those experiencing symptoms and likely to be infected with covid.

Best to ask the Thai Embassy in the UK, but right now Thais can still return home from the UK so they better hurry up...

Chonburi 35 new cases have accumulated 340 in high-risk locations.An investigation is underway. It will be announced as a public warning the following evening. 35 new cases 📍 Bang Lamung District 15 cases 📍 Sriracha District 14 cases 📍 Phanat Nikhom District 3 cases 📍 Rayong 3 cases 340 cumulative cases 📍 Bang Lamung District 197 cases - 1 death, Thai woman aged 47 years 📍 Sriracha District 90 cases 📍 Mueang District 23 cases 📍 Sattahip District 10 cases 📍 Ban Bueng District 6 cases 📍 Phanat Nikhom District 4 cases 📍 Rayong 10 persons

That's sad. A true institution gone...

Correct. Thailand reported 745 new confirmed cases, 16 from people on repatriation flights and in state quarantine centers, 577 from active finding tests among migrant workers, and 152 from local transmission; with 0 deaths reported; the total remains at 8,439 infections, and 65 deaths. They just announced one more fatality though so that 0 you see here is incorrect.

Shouldn't be up drinking until 3 am at your age Tommy!

Two announcements shortly after each other with the last one being from PR Thai government. Am I missing something or do the numbers not add up?
