Let's see how they brush the inevitably soon increasing numbers under the carpet

Yes how interesting.  We have huge concerts announced but people cannot gather if they wish to advance their democratic rights.  There is a lot more to Covid then simply health issues.  Wake up people.

No testing of Thai folk and the testing of foreigners cannot be publicized as there will be a Hospital and Media gag order?

Seems like what is needed is a world leading hitman nicknamed "Covid". Could solve a lot of problems here.

It seems like they want a law repealing because they dont like it. Great, I'd like several laws repealing because I'm not a fan, easy!

P would be out of place at a high class hotel anyway, doubt he would understand what the set of 5 knives/forks + 3 spoons were actually used for, most Elite here don't understand Western standards of dining etiquette.
