Thailand is a mess with a corrupt and incompetent government.
They relied on the Chinese for vaccines and they have weak protection from the Wuhan virus.
Now, because their corrupt gov’t officials brought the other variants from their sexcapades overseas back home, the people will be made to suffer.
They are not rebellious like Americans. If the government told them to wear 3 masks at a time, even when alone in their car, most of them would follow orders.
Thai people usually act very civilized in public. If you drop your wallet, you will probably get it back. Outside of tomboys, women trying to act like men is rare.
Very few people have been vaccinated due to a series of poor bets by the government, trying to go cheap. It will be 6 more months before the good vaccines are widely available. Their economy is now destroyed because of it, and continues to get worse. The government is now clamping down hard on "fake news", meaning news that embarrasses the government.
The corrupt and incompetent Biden administration would love for the American people to be as compliant, but that's not in American genetics, a country founded by rebels, heavily armed and distrustful of government. Further, the Democrats constant turning neighbor against neighbor, black against white, women against men, young against old, poor against rich, insures their plan is doomed to failure. They've got just about everybody Kung Fu fighting.
