Prohibition extended till the end of April

The somewhat expected news was made public early wednesday afternoon. Alcoholics will have to either deal with withdrawal or find sources.  

Not a major problem for me.  I drink an occasional beer when I have an upset stomach. It relaxes the muscles. One beer is usually sufficient. Replacement medicines have undesirable side effects.

Most businesses will most likely get the ok to reopen by May 1.  

That will most likely happen because the Thai government has limited funds and may need to borrow money for further benefit payments.

Numbers

Looked at WHO and EURONEWS. They did not have identical numbers. The purpose of this chart is a visualization  of three categories. Total of this chart is 1,195,322

Saturday mostly sunny and hot

Alone again. Usually on weekends I have dozens of visitors using my pool. That's what I miss the most.
Military call up 
delayed
British embassy  overloaded by duplicate requests

Potatoes now selling for 40 baht a kilo

1967 I survived on a huge bag of potatoes and a handful of seasonings.  

I had just started a job as bellman in a hotel.  I did get lunch at the hotel.  But that was only five days per week.  

It's amazing the different ways you can serve potatoes.  
From soups to pancakes to fries.

Of course this time around I have my cupboards filled with a greater variety of foods.  

I no longer go to shops.  I let other people do the shopping for me. I use disinfectant on all items brought to my house.  Including the mailbox.

Alcohol and disinfectant sprays are all out of stock at local markets. These items are standard in my house, so I do have a limited supply on hand.
