Each customer can only stay in the shop for 2 hours? It’s just as scientifically-garbage as the “you must wear masks in a restaurant except when eating”, which so many stupid governments are now mandating.

Viruses spread, and you staying in a shop for 2 hours and not 2 hours and 10 minutes, or you wearing a mask when you’re not shoving food in your face at a restaurant, isn’t protecting you from anything.

Then again, neither are these dirty face diapers most of the population is wearing. Diapers that are supposed to be changed every 15-30 minutes and are never supposed to be worn once damp. Impossible in a country like Thailand. So…no wonder the virus spreads.

Personally, I’m loving the panic going on with Covid from governments around the world. We’re stocked up with food for 6 months, rarely leave our house grounds because there is no point, and so we’re socking money away like you wouldn’t believe.

By the time the Thai government has finished bankrupting its economy and pushing half of its population to homelessness and starvation, I’ll have enough money to be able to afford half of Bangkok 🙂
