Thailand makes Bloomberg’s list of ‘worst places to be’ for current phase of the pandemic


Recommended Posts

Thailand, along with several other South East Asian countries, have made Bloomberg’s list of worst places to be for the current phase of the pandemic which has been fueled by the spread of the Delta variant.

 

According to Bloomberg, “The bottom five in August’s Ranking are Southeast Asian economies, a region that’s emerged as the new virus epicenter with the world’s highest monthly death toll per capita: Thailand at No. 49, Vietnam at No. 50, Indonesia No. 51, the Philippines No. 52 and Malaysia in last place.”

Bloomberg gave the reason as follows: “[Thailand] dropped eight spots as it saw a delta-fueled resurgence in cases, followed by stringent restrictions over 40% of the population.”

 

 

My own commentary:

I’ll give credit where credit is due. At least Thailand’s worst days were better than some countries best days.

Let’s put the blame where it needs to be. Time for some group to get kicked out. Exile for them is almost too kind.

Widely gaining speed. Let’s see what unfolds at the latest No Confidence vote. Hopefully something gets stirred and severely shaken.

Hmmm some peeps have taken bullets to get this done!

Easy for westerners to criticise but this is not a democracy remember and demonstrating is frequently unsafe.
