Hazy booze ideas
Oped, Postbag, Published on 13/06/2020

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.

Thai racism again
Oped, Postbag, Published on 17/06/2020
» Great to see the letter from Jan Servaes, especially as his position with Unesco had been communication for sustainable social change. As he very politely pointed out Thailand appears to have no respect for the institution of marriage especially if one partner happens to be a non-Thai. At a time when Immigration is often stating that visitors and stayers need to have the correct visa it seems that they themselves don't wish to supply you the pertinent document.
