May the magnanimous and saintly Angela Merkel lead this fight with valour and dedication as shown by Putin and his government.

Today, I highlight one report from the Bangkok Post, three reports from BBC News and attach three photos I took at Suvarnabhumi Airport:

Thailand reports 188 new coronavirus cases, brings total to nearly 600

Thailand reported 188 new coronavirus infections on Sunday, its largest daily increase, taking the total to 599 cases, a senior Public Health Ministry official said.
The majority of the new infections are connected to a previous cluster of cases from Lumpini boxing stadium, ministry spokesman Taweesin Wisanuyothin told a news conference adding one patient had recovered.
"Most of the new cases were found in Bangkok and were among young people who continue to have social activities, which can lead to more infections," Dr Taweesin said urging the public to stay home.
There has been one death in Thailand.

And from BBC News . . .
And below I attach three photos I took at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Saturday morning, which was, as expected, looking very quiet. My temperature was tested at one of the entrances to the airport before I was admitted. As my temperature was normal a blue stick on dot was placed on my right upper arm.
It was the quickest I had ever made my way through check-in, security and passport control. At passport control my finger prints were once again checked on an electronics device.
During the second leg of my flight back to the UK a flight attendant told several passengers near me that Emirates will stop flying into my local airport on Monday, so another good reason that I am pleased I took the decision to cut short my holiday in Thailand.

And with yesterday’s announcement of further closures in Bangkok (see list below) I am now happy to be back at home rather than stranded in a rented apartment in Bangkok with very little to do.

Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Come on punters, do your job here! Grab a bunch of young and cute guys, and convince them to stay home with you.
Ok, very poor taste I will admit. I'm doing my job though, and this social distance thing will be happening for a good 6 months, so settle in.

And you're writing this from a Canadian provincial jail I assume. Out of touch as always. All about yourself as always.

The result is that life is returning to normal with restaurants open and supermarket shelves groaning with goods and produce. People are even swimming in the lake such is the balmyness of the weather. Outside, mask wearing is becoming less common. Only mass gatherings are prohibited so nightclubs are still closed.
Aww, that's lovely. Should we send the mainland Chinese a thank you card?

Oh, don't even start. You'll get the old people all worked up again...
Yes, I say "watched" and not "listened to".
