A very valid point.Originally Posted by Moses
Maybe (actually very unlikely) they have looked at the demonstrations around Europe. The police actually opened fire on protesters in Rotterdam the other day seriously injuring three. Just imagine if they had been killed.
Enough is enough. We have to just get on with it.
It’s not the “Spanish” Flu or Bubonic Plague ffs.
Agreed. Covid is now well down the list of causes of death in many countries.
Pneumonia or flu appear on death certificates more in the UK than covid & we abolished pretty much all restrictions 4 months ago.
With 89 million vaccine doses delivered, the Thai government should be doing the same.
Exactly! During the Plague, the death were lying in the streets.
For Covid, you have to test to see if someone is infected!

Over 5,000,000 people have died from Covid so far, but since they are dead, they cannot tell their side of the story.
During the Black Death/Bubonic Plague and the Spanish Flu there were no vaccines to stop the
spread and the deaths; consider ourselves lucky to be alive.
That's the official number as reported by hospitals around the world. There's news interviews out there for example, of folks who own property along the Ganges river in India who for a while there morning chore was to pickup all the dead bodies that floated up to their property during the night.
Another I remember is a girl / young lady in Bangkok pleading on Youtube that she is unable to find a hospital bed for her mother who had Covid. Kept calling all the hospitals everyday, and they always told her don't come because there's no room. She was fortunate enough that a volunteer organization dropped off a bottle of oxygen to their house, but they could only give her one canister because oxygen was in such high demand at the time.
Plus tons and tons of other stories like that.
I think it's pretty safe to say Covid has claimed more than 5 million lives. Not that it really matters any, because if the weather keeps going the way it has been in the past couple years, we're all in for a rude awakening.

With a vaccine, COVID makes hardly any difference to our odds of dying in the next year.
So get rid of all restrictions, so those who want to enjoy life may do so. Those who don't like it can still choose to hide at home, looking at pictures of body bags in trenches and finding other ways to be miserable.

I'm with you on that one. It's at the point that if you're too stupid to get the jab because you think Bill Gates wants to microchip you or whatever the
bullshit conspiracy theory of the day is, then it's kind of on you. I'd go as far as to put in laws saying if you're unvaccinated and end up in the hospital with Covid, then the medical bills are on you. Apparently, it's costing over $100k per-patient in Canada to treat someone with Covid, and the vast majority aren't vaccinated. Idiots.
Nonetheless, we as a society unfortunately seem to have to cater to the weakest link.
However, Matt, goji's stupidity is that of the ideologue - that vaccination makes no difference. See this article for a rebuttal - https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination
