With respect Tricky it doesn’t ‘put things into perspective’ at all...it just provides a different, slightly irrelevant perspective which says more about Thai driving habits than it does about anything to do with Coronavirus.

These ‘few thousand’ deaths you mention are in the region of 42,000 now I believe, so rather more than ‘a few’ and while there are so many deaths despite lockdown how many more do you think there would have been had the country not gone into partial ‘shut down’?

I don’t think things have been handled well. I do think we have suffered from a lack of leadership and that the British and U.S. governments - as the figures would appear to support - have been particularly ineffectual, but the lockdown was necessary.
