The process could have been much more gradual, with a slower shift from mass forced lockdowns to more flexible policies. Instead, it has effectively thrown caution to the wind.

» Re: "ATK answer," (PostBag, Feb 23). Khun Burin Kantabutra has always proposed many novel ideas in the Post. However, I beg to politely differ with his suggestion in "ATK answer" for a disease which is already basically everywhere in the kingdom.
