I am a bit woozy this morning, but this is my advise to our Supreme Commander:

1. stop talking about and helping tourism industry, it is accounted for 20% of GDP at good times. you move all vaccines and resources to tourist sandboxes, airlines, hotels, restaurants, airports and left businesses, schools and factories exposed (closed as of today).

2. you spent too much money on sandboxes already, even with all TAT fantastic tourism numbers, you may not break even.

bonus point: legalize marijuana and this will free 80% of prison population, which you cry about being overcrowded

need a drink, oh no, i am getting a jab today...

This Government's 'whak a mole' approach to stopping covid really isn't working.. they have had 18 months of watching the world of what does and doesn't work but they still can't figure that out!

They are finally leaning some sense.

Six months ago there would be a curfew. Self quarantine. Malls shut. Transport stopped. No looking out of windows. Dog rounded up and caged. Cats locked out of homes. Moles whacked, as Malc Thai states ??????

Now they have decided to live with the risk. And the risk of death is small, only 2%, Those are people who are already sick.
