Good morning boys and girls. It's another Tuesday in Thailand, February 8, and those of you behind us will catch up and have a Tuesday pretty soon.
THAILAND ECONOMY TOURISM
Thai 'government' officials on Monday were trying to arrange meetings with Chinese government or Communist officials to discuss the idea of a "travel bubble" to unleash Chinese visitors and tourists on Thailand.
An agreement with Thailand would determine the number of people allowed in the exchange, including protocols for visas, travel and insurance, said junta spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana.
He said China has agreed to discuss the "tourist exchange" but he refused to provide details.

CORONAVIRUS ASEAN
I think we can boil this down to a single sentence, using s scientific terms.
The performances of ASEAN including Thailand have in battling the Chinese Covid-19 coronavirus have been, in purely scientific terms, piss-poor.
For example, take Malaysia. Please.

And spreading Covid infections in China itself continue to soar. Now, Beijing has locked down Baise city, on the border of Vietnam. There's a full Lockdown in the city of 3.6 million, including a total ban on trave, in or out.
City residents are "allowed" to go out at certain times to shop for food.

ANALYSIS: TRUE
'Omicron could be the undoing of Xi Jinping
Omicron entered China mainly through the port city of Tianjin, which is 30 minutes by high-speed rail to Beijing.
City-wide lockdowns are unlikely to work against a variant as infectious as Omicron. This is evident in Hong Kong where the Omicron outbreak looks increasingly serious.

Thailand health authorities give the bad news
County in the midst of the 5th major coronavirus outbreak in only 103 weeks
The country registered 12 more Covid-19 fatalities and 10,470 new cases during the previous 24 hours, the Public Health Ministry announced on Monday morning.
This compared with the 20 coronavirus-related fatalities and 10,879 new cases reported on Sunday morning.
Sumanee Wacharasin, the comely hazard communication director of the Department of Disease Control, said in the afternoon briefing that the 12 new fatalities were between the ages of 38 and 88.
All the fatalities were elderly people with underlying diseases and 75% of them were either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, she said.
"New daily cases exceed 10,000 for the third consecutive day... The caseloads rise as earlier expected and the situation remain controllable," Dr Sumanee said.

By Friday, promise the small band of people fighting Thailand's battle against the Chinese Covid-19 novel virus, there will be new, slacker lockdown rules.
Except that it's complicated.
In any case, the junta's official virus fighting agency, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, aks CCSA, aims to open a whole new policy within a week.
No surprise, its official motto will be "Learn to Live with Covid".

One-day report
The Chon Buri province Public Health Office reported a far-too-regular day on Monday:
545 Downwards arrow confirmed cases, 322 probable cases and one death from the Chinese novel virus.
Statistics will come later from Pattaya and other places within the province of how many cases were local and how many imported by tourists.
In all, as of Monday night, Chon Buri has 4,694 Covid-19 patients under Lockdown or other forms of medical care.
The Phuket health office reported Monday that it had 557 new cases of Chinese Covid-19 on the island province - 436 locally transmitted and 121 carried in by foreign tourists and visitors.
Political cartoonist Stephff showed graphically that the real targets of the Prayut 'government' are independent media and civil society organisations.

Khemawat Farm
Police on Monday raided a tourist-friendly "farm" in northern Pichet province, and found illegal water monitors and macaques.
The monitors were mostly bound and tied, forced into mesh bags and ready for export from the remote farm.
Police of the National Resources and Environmental Crime Division, swarmed the former pig farm.
Pol Maj Gen Mana said the farm owner was suspected of exporting the animals to Laos and Cambodia for onward sale. Apparently gourmets in Vietnam and China invite the animals to dinner - and eat them.

His Royal Highness Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, will visit Thailand once the government finishes the roadmap to restarting bilateral cooperation between the two kingdoms, according to the Thai junta's 'foreign affairs minister', Don Pramudwinai.
The roadmap will prioritise cooperation in certain areas, in particular energy and labour, Mr Don said on Monday.

Time running out for junta 'government' before next poll
The days of a single party's rule and strong executive arm, last seen during the rise of the now-defunct Thai Rak Thai Party and the Thaksin Shinawatra government, are not likely to return.
On the contrary, the next election will see further fragmentation of political parties, platforms and ideologies. The Thaksin-no Thaksin dichotomy that has gripped elections for over a decade is giving way to the more pungent Prayut-No Prayut choice.

Fine. If you force us to leave, we promise we will never come back to make deliveries.

Bruce Heyman, who was Barack Obama's ambassador to Canada appeared totally out of it.
He suggested the U.S. groups Antifa and BLM keep their mitts off the Great White North.
"Under no circumstances should any group in the USA fund disruptive activities in Canada. Period. Full stop," he tweeted and stopped.

Yi, who gave up her U.S. citizenship to become a Chinese citizen so she could compete for the communist government’s genocide Olympics, finished with the lowest score for the entire event in Beijing on Saturday.

Outbreak of stupidity discovered in Winnipeg, which is a town in Canada.
Dave Zegarac, a known radical far-left anarchist ran his jeep into four (or more) supporters of the Canadian truckers' protest.
Winnipeg police are treating it as a standard, totally non-violent hit-and-run, no hate-crime allowed and don't pay any attention to the CCTV records of Dave's brave attempt to stop the insurrection.

Just out of curiosity...
How many Canadians have ever in their entire lives seen an insurrection? Been close to one? Anywhere?
How many? 15? 22? Insert your guess: _______

Yep, I did say "moronic".
But to me, there's a takeaway. Justin's stoopid idea to attack, demonize, beat, shackle and imprison truckers is just another large pile of proof that the 2020/21 riots and violence by Antifa and BLM were state-sponsored violence.
The trucker convoys are the only reason why U.S.A. political power holders up to (and including) the president demand that EVERY vehicle sold in the U.S.A. after 2024 must be equipped with a remote controlled kill switch.
Held and controlled by the same people who are currently unable to control the spread of an imported virus.
