Lockdowns don't work. Too bad Thailand is still messing around with them. Must let the virus run its course. Anything else is just a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

Learn to LIVE with it. Like we already do with numerous other viruses and diseases that we haven't locked-down so much as a 7-Eleven for. π
