@5: if one wants to include bangkok in the sandbox scheme, then most or all bangkok residents should be vaccinated until the start of the scheme. are health authorities up to that big task and will there be enough vaccine doses available until then?
also, you’d have to check bangkok residents travelling to provinces without vaccinated people. phuket is relatively easy in this respect…
sure they aren’t – it was a rather rhetorical question…
lockdowns/semi-lockdowns/other restrictions: now the first scare arrived already; the clusters in the ekkamai/thonglor pubs – 1 week BEFORE songkrahn. so maybe we won’t even have to wait that long!
Just imagine how paranoid a specific percentage of the world population is going to be of germs when they start traveling. Which pharma name should we buy………..
There is a big trial going to happen in Nuremburg and it is being prosecuted by the same lawyer that brought down VW for fraud Dr. Reiner Fuellmich – he was offered over 100 million EU to go away and did not – he has recruited 1000’s of lawyers around the World and 1000’s of medical opinions to expose this hoax for what it is! = not my words but this is what is happening in the highest court in the World – most of those accused will be called to give testimony and be cross examined, Google, FB, Twitter, DAVOS heads, politicians, Gates, doctors etc. – at least we will finally know the truth. However, the psychological damages done to people and especially kids will be hard to undo. The financial damages will take generations to pay off, if ever. The Nuremburg code specifically states that drug experiments on human cannot take place and as the vax is still in trials and as it is generically modified nano lipid you cannot be forced to take it. This is not a conspiracy theory and is going to take place in Nuremburg soon. However in the meantime the vax program will be rolled out to open up some areas, but as history has show there will be more infections (same as the seasonal flu) however the media has scared everyone into believing that we’re all going to die and this is far from the truth – Keep up the good blog and I read it every monday

No they’re not.
