    Default Thailand's Covid hit worst in region, say experts

    The kingdom's economic growth is likely to fall 7.8%, the biggest projected drop in the region, due to the impact of Covid-19 on the tourism and service sectors, according to the Asean+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (Amro).


    "Many countries are slipping into recession, depending on their economic structures and how successful they were in containing the virus." he said. "But even with the most successful countries, like Thailand, we estimate negative growth of 7.8% because its economy depends on (sex) tourism and services, which were hit very badly."

    Thailand has had 58 deaths and not one case in the last two months. I definitely do not trust the reporting in Laos, Cambodia or Burma. Vietnam is not renowned for openness and China never tells the truth.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Like it or not, the world's economies are all linked. When one is suffering (i.e. the U.S. currently), it affects them all.

    So why purposely tank the US economy?

    These are not experts. They are just guessing. They might as well burn Holy Seaweed.

    I have never seen her make sense yet. I have not seen all her posts, but this one certainly does not make sense.

    Your claim that our economy was deliberately tanked is a fallacy, therefore any discussion is now over. You may return to your nodding yes-men. lol
