Thailand's make-believe Ramadan cease-fire lasts less than two weeks
Yes, kiddies, the weekend is here, and you'll have two days to figure out all the things you have been doing wrong.
To make it simpler, it is Saturday, April 16, 2022. And all the coronavirus rules that Thailand's junta can think of are still in force.
THAILAND DEEP SOUTH WAR
The Ramadan cease-fire in Thailand's deep South lasted less than two weeks.
Two bombs went off in Pattani province. They killed one bystander and wounded three EOD specialists.
The biggest news of that violence was that local people and police believe the bombs were the work of PULO - the Pattani United Liberation Organisation - which hasn't been seen for several years.
Thailand's oldest, most feeble and dying Demorat Party has had some recent problems.
Deputy party leader Prinn Panitchpakdi faces multiple charges of kiddie-fiddling and sexual abuse of minors.
"No, No, No!" he insists, totally false and made-up. Didn't happen.
On Friday, he resigned from the Democrats in order to have more time to face and deny his accusers and their helpers.
Several people believe him.

The Case of the Junta That Couldn't Figure Out the Declining Tourism
The mystery deepens.
The sad case of Friday:
20,289 new cases of diagnosed Covid-19
119 deaths

The above occurred as the toll of Covid-19 cases throughout the world passed 500 million.

This is so sad that it hurts.
EVERY (alleged) doctor and scientist in Thailand agrees that Songkran and water-splashing cause coronavirus.
Every one of them, no exceptions.

Water fights persist amid infection fears
Military-appointed 'prime minister' Prayut is concerned about the risk of new infection clusters as a result of such violations.
Many people disregarding mask rules, survey finds
The alleged 'survey' was by the junta's ministry of public health
People are noticing some disregard for mask-wearing rules in tourist areas during the Songkran holiday, prompting the Department of Health to remind the public that the kingdom’s Covid-19 prevention measures are still in place.
The country that invented the Covid-19 coronavirus has no idea what to do about the spreading Covid-19 coronavirus.

TRUE STORY HEALTH
Girl oozes blood out of her eyes
Surat Thani: The parents of a 7-year-old girl are pleading for help after their daughter began developing mysterious symptoms linked to hematohidrosis, a rare condition characterised by blood oozing from intact skin.
Pimpakarn Khotphakdi, 27, said her daughter was in good health, but developed dark purple spots on her skin and sweated blood on April 7.
(And then again and again.)
The likely cause is a rare 'condition' (not disease) called "blood sweat". Look it up, but a patient with Hematidrosis appears to sweat blood, even when the patient has no cuts.

And the Fed is lying through its teeth by claiming it is raising interest rates "to curtail growth".

CORONAVIRUS U.S.A.
(Well, now the U.S.A., then everywhere.)
Local health administrations, U.S. state authorities and the federal C.D.C. all are considering whether to issue orders for mandatory anti-coronavirus booster shots.
No one has spilt the beans to Thailand's CCSA, but it won't be long.

NEW YORK POST COLUMN: ‘Censorship is free speech’ is the establishment’s Orwellian line on Elon Musk’s Twitter crusade. “‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ is the motto of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. It may sound like a warning, but more and more it seems like a summary of the left’s aspirations to control debate and shut down any opposition.”
The editor especially liked the end.
