Spot on! Great satirical article which made me laugh as it is so recognizable. The responses by the fictional interviewed Bangkokians are way over the top, but I am pretty sure that there are indeed Covid-lunatics that would wholeheartedly agree with the nonsense and air similar views. You will find them in droves on the AseanNow Covid sub-forum, only there they are more aggressive and want the 'irresponsible' unvaccinated non-maskers jailed, deported or dead...

Yes you’re right that the Covid Maxis lurk in Asean now forums - I only lasted 4 minutes when I made an account and posted some malinformation in there…

I see your close neighbours Vietnam are also going bonkers. Saw in the media- Vietnam blocks Telegram.

Bonkers with other neighbours too. Not sure what to make of it. Maybe a rally around the flag jobby, stirring up nationalism as the economy is not doing great… https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3043466/thai-military-prepared-for-high-level-operation-if-cambodia-border-row-escalates

There's a woman here in my tiny corner of Texas who wears a muzzle and, no lie, rubber dishwashing gloves. She seems nice, but it's not like the lizard people will show their true forms before they get green-lit by the mothership. They walk among us and for now it seems safer to keep pretending that their disguises are still working.

I love a good Lizard people comment in the morning! “They Live” - also a great movie :-)
