Covid-19 News & Updates

Just one mistake. 27 dead. The other figures reflect worldometers exactly.

Sorry. But I was more interested in the Hua Hin numbers. National figures are widely available elsewhere.

Sorry HHinner, I was just nit-picking. I'm bored so take no notice. I sat in the garden this morning watching a beetle being dissected by ants and taken off to their nest.
Beginning to empathise with cows:

1st cow: What are you doing today?
2nd cow: Just standing in a field, how about you?
1st cow: The same, standing in a field. What are you doing tomorrow?
2nd cow: Probably standing in a field. You?
1st cow: Standing in a field.

Get my drift?

Trying to understand why the Thais I know are pretty casual about the virus, when the deaths are now approx 30
Thats in a country where 60-70 traffic accidents deaths every day is accepted as normal.

You've answered your own question, surely? If the Thai general public are not bothered about that level of road deaths daily, why would 30 virus deaths over the last couple of months be a matter of concern?

Having said that, those Thais I'm still in touch with are taking it very seriously.

[HHTel]

The road fatalities have reduced drastically, sometimes in single figures. Ironically, this virus has indirectly saved more lives than it's taken. (Thailand only)

Shitty news tonight where news given of 2 friends passing within an hour of each other. One in his early 60's with a heart condition, but we were exchanging jokes via Email and WhatsApp this very morning.... Rushed into hospital lunchtime and died within hours.
Another in his mid 40's with no underlying symptoms - had been suffering for a few days and hospitalised, but again - very quick end which nobody was expecting - devastating news.

Brings everything very close to home.....

Take care and keep well everyone.
