Golden chance to help
News, Postbag, Published on 11/05/2020
» Reading about the terrible plight of the people in the Klong Toey slum, I wonder why one of our super rich billionaires doesn't adopt this slum and make it his project to make life more tolerable and give these people a little hope, even if it is just until they are able to get back to work again. Not only would it be good karma for such a person, it would be good publicity and might help mitigate some of the negative feelings that some of us have towards the super rich.

Mass testing best
News, Postbag, Published on 21/03/2020
» The most effective and cheapest way of controlling the Covid-19 pandemic will be to conduct mass testing of the population, as urged by eminent French infectious diseases expert Dr Didier Raoult. He has pointed out that cheaply mass produced testing equipment is already available and is being used effectively in South Korea. Countries, including Thailand, should build up this mass testing capability as fast as it can and test as many people as possible. That way it will be possible to isolate only those who test positive and it also makes it possible to treat those who start showing symptoms early which boosts the chance of a favourable outcome for them. This will be far more effective than locking down entire populations of people who are not infected and causing a massive economic dislocation in the process. In Thailand's case, it may cost US$325 million (10.5 billion baht) to test the entire population, but that would be a drop in the bucket compared to the $8 billion cost of a 5% decline in GDP.

Fate is in our hands
News, Postbag, Published on 27/03/2020
» Re: "Govt to invoke emergency rule", (BP, March 25). The government has absolute power but it still lacks a clear and comprehensive strategy besides implementing a lockdown. We should follow South Korea, as "(it's) one of only two countries with large outbreaks, alongside China, to flatten the curve of new infections.
