Oh goody CM is down from yesterday from the factory and the market cluster in San Sai with the factory having 31. These numbers have to seriously be BS and have to be way way more than that. I even read CM airport had 75 but it didn't say actually when.

Worrying but I think they can.

Just follow the Chinese method of reporting case numbers and deaths.

[LoongFred]

The data is new cases / day.

The north is pretty good, in general.

That hiding bodies - rumour is about as truthful as gun shot victims (all two of them per year, now supposedly dozens of people) lining up outside an Oklahoma rural hospital, wearing winter clothes in August, because Ivermectin overdose cases supposedly are overwhelming the said hospital!

Take your pick. But probably all fake news.

Remember. … for news sites, stations etc … if it bleeds it leads. They have to make a profit somehow to keep themselves alive, and relevant. They don’t care how much truth is in the story …. Just like movies, based on a true story ie based. They only make it for entertainment and to sell bums on seats or advertising. They don’t care if a large portion is fake or not. By the time they are found out they have made their money.

Like many things, but there might be some truth or merit in it. What is I own is something is massively wrong on the number count

But so hard to decide. Or find out. Especially if we have to rely on google or Wikipedia.

Discussions like this right or wrong provide enlightenment to all parties. Well I know I definitely have learnt something new.

I’m envious to find out. But you can get green Fanta that is owned by Coca Cola.

No, really. It was originally green from the leaves.

You keep learning new things today

I wonder if like today, they thought of it as a health drink.

[BIGGLES]

Does anyone think that Thailand  might be in a similar position as India was in a couple of months or so ago?

As I recall, the deaths there got so bad, they were running out of fire wood to do cremations, and bodies were left floating down the Gangees.

Poor devil's, they were totally unprepared and got swamped.

India couldn't hide it.

Anyone see any similarities?

[Bob20]

No, they won't float all the way to the Ganges...

But on a serious point, if the country opens up without high degree of vaccination, we will see something similar to Songkran again. It's not that foreigners bring the virus here, it's simply people moving the virus around the country, spreading it.

[Bob20]

Oh... great...
