As for the Pattaya side, Deputy Mayor Ronnakit Ekkasingh stated that by August the city should be “well along” their plan to vaccinate 70% of the local population and that Pattaya should be ready for a visit of this nature.

It's a well known fact that many 'hostesses' have returned to their villages during the Covid lull. Even during normal times, thousands are bused in to meet the demands of Cobra Gold. How many Cobra Gold 'hostesses' will be amongst the vaccinated 70% of the local population?

If you look at all the illnesses that were said to lead to people's deaths, you'll see that they are all the result of the typical Thai diet. In other words, they were all preventable. But hey, don't touch my food.

Well looking at numbers only then the diets in USA,Europe etc, must be really crap

They add in all these alleged contributing factors to make themselves feel better and pretend that science knows something I think. They don't want to simply say "died of Covid". The world is filled with cases of deaths of perfectly healthy people, as well as teens and children whose health is pristine.

If their diets consist of lots of sugar and salt, in nearly everything then, yes, their diets are crap. I wasn't looking "at numbers only," I was looking at deaths reported from preventable diseases that were exacerbated by Covid-19.
