As Delta variant is long gone. TCP tesg is not able to detect adverticed to say the least. Omicron have made the global population immun. Nation after natin iis opening up. Still Thailand still keep draconian measures irregardless of an endemic situation is well consolided in the society. This begs the question whay are you not opening up and let go of those draconian measures. Is there not any adult people left with a back  holding the head high any longer. Who long time are yoy going to keep this tyranical measures. One can fool the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time. It is time for adult people to put an end to this situation.
