Just a thought.

Sorry to quote myself, but I now see that 1,500 Covid cases are being shipped out of Bangkok to the provinces by a special train.

I think the draconian measures we have put into place, that are crushing peoples live, causing a massive rise in suicides, ruining our economy, causing worldwide investors to flee the nation, and destroying millions of families, "might be working". We do not really know. It will take some time.
