Six of them had caught Covid-19 from infected family members, two from friends and colleagues, two from infected visitors to entertainment places and two others from infected people who cared for bed-ridden patients.

Eight cases died within 7-21 days after infection was confirmed, five in 1-4 days and two before the test results were returned positive.

So we're to blame.

Nothing to do with the PM insisting on Songkran, or absolutely no rush to vaccinate the population. What about the authorities turning a blind eye to late night opening or gambling dens? I could go on, but realise it was all my own fault.
