One of Thailand’s top virologists expects that by year’s end, nearly everyone will have Covid-19. Most people will have Covid within three years, like influenza. Yong Poovorawan, chief of Chulalongkorn University’s Clinical Virology Centre, predicted this using current and past data. Before the third Covid wave last year, he projected another wave or two and two years until herd immunity stopped the virus. Since most new infections are minor, scientists think most go undiscovered, and 2,000 to 3,000 daily hospitalizations suggest tens of thousands everyday. The daily death toll is 20 to 30. The first human-to-human transmission in Thailand occurred in a taxi driver in late January 2020. Coronavirus avoidance may be futile. Yesterday, the Ministry of Health reported 2,316 new Covid infections and 35 deaths. Dr. Yong believes medical care and immunizations kept death tolls down while the Coronavirus became less deadly, but the epidemic persisted longer. Epidemics like…

Right now, bars and clubs are required to close at 2 am. Phiphat is one of the few elected officials who openly backs a practice that is considered a “social sin.” Since their opinions are often disregarded by those who self-identify as devoted Buddhists because they are seen to contradict Thai “Buddhism society’s” moral norm, supporters have faced stigma. The minister claimed that his idea was consistent with foreign visitors’ lifestyles, notably those from Europe and the Middle East. According to the tourism minister, he will ask the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration to take into account permitting bars and pubs in popular tourist provinces to stay open until 4 a.m. on Thursday. The tourists want to drink more because the festivities are about to reach their climax and the venues are getting set to close. The 2 am closing, according to Phiphat, does not satisfy their needs. He predicted…
Somsak Thepsuthin, the minister of justice, sent his sincere sympathies to all 67-year-old victims and committed to providing each one with compensation in accordance with the Workmen’s Compensation Act. Yesterday’s fire tragedy was considered at a meeting of the Thai Ministry of Justice.

Unlike cigarettes, using an e-ganja electronic gadget does not produce any scent or smoke, which is one of its advantages. Either wealthy teens or high-ranking government employees are their greatest e-ganja customers, according to vendors in the northern province of Chiang Mai. According to media sources, smokers typically purchase e-ganja online for about 3,000 baht. Smokers can manage themselves and know their limitations thanks to the cannabis oil in e-ganja. E-ganja is a type of portable electronic gadget that mimics smoking, much like an e-cigarette. The e-ganja electronic device, however, uses cannabis oil in place of tobacco, unlike e-cigarettes. Since many people have allergies to bongs or ground cannabis wrapped in paper, e-ganja has grown in popularity. According to a business owner who spoke to the media, many sellers import e-ganja since it is well-liked even by officials of the government and has no smell or smoke. Nobody would be…
