The possible upsides to Covid infection

» There's always a first time for everyone. After three years of living life virus free, I got Covid-19 from a friend after attending a concert recently. However, to my surprise, my first experience wasn't all that terrible. I felt mildly ill, with fever and body aches, but no sore throat or a lung infection. Fortunately, I was able to look after myself at home and the symptoms only lasted a week.

» I was a little hesitant before going into Pistol, a music biographical drama miniseries, as I wasn't that convinced how the filmmaker is ever going to pull off such a story. The Sex Pistols was no doubt an important group in rock music history, having so much influence on the 70s UK punk movement as well as DIY and indie rock music a few decades later. However, their career was rather short, lasting a little over two years. Most of the news while they were active was rather negative with coverage focused more on scandals caused by the band members' behaviour than the actual music.
Alien threat returns

» Over the past few years, it's been amazing to see Chris Pratt's transition to a mega action star from a small role as Andy, a goofy boyfriend in the sitcom Parks And Recreation, to more sci-fi and action roles like Peter Quill/Star-Lord in The Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise, a mysterious mechanical engineer in space thriller Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence or dinosaur researcher Owen Grady in the Jurassic World franchise. Now Pratt is using his skills to play a military scientist with daddy issues who goes against time on a mission to save the world from an alien invasion in The Tomorrow War. Although lacking an original idea, with parts of the story derived from many past sci-fi hits, The Tomorrow War is still an enjoyable action-adventure with adrenaline-fuelled chase sequences.
The Covid conundrum
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 26/04/2021
» From the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Thailand has been a relative success story with low infection rates. However, a third wave is now hitting hard and ruining the hopes of people just as the country was gearing up for a rebound. Despite the increase in cases with over 1,000 plus infections being reported for several days and 120 deaths, there's no sign that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his government will announce a nationwide lockdown. Some members of the opposition suspect that the government may be facing financial problems and that there is a possibility that public debt has surpassed 60%, which means there is not enough cash to pay subsidies like the last lockdown. So, it's almost as if we've been told by the government that this time around, it's every man for himself.
