I hope you are not suggesting that politicians , are intelligent . The experiment was easy , most countries had a case by the end of Jan . But failed to even temp check incoming passengers . I mean have we got idiots running countries . No testing done really , Taiwan did great . I would bet the Thailand numbers came from 3 places . Europe , USA and returning overseas workers from South Korea and Ships . I mean genius , it’s not ANY politicians . Dumb and dumber .
Yes The Thai army government does NOT want foreigners , its worried about its civil unrest and it does not want it reported to the world from foreigners with in its borders . It wants to blame the economy on foreigners . Chinese for the virus and other foreigners , its an exercise in nationalism , always works if you can't have a good economy .
