Tomorrow is the big day, so I was told, thousands of red shirts will come to Bangkok and thousands of soldiers will wait for them.

The red shirts, you know, are pretty nasty people, prone to violence, they can burn Bangkok to the ground, so we'd better be careful.

The yellow shirts, on the other hand, are pretty nice people, we have no problem letting them seize the government house and the airport, after all, in between nice people, we have to help each others.

Well, I am a foreigner, and have yellow shirt friends and red shirt friends, and for me they're not very different, they all love Thailand and they all have the utmost...

Nous en sommes maintenant à environ 10000 personnes infectées et un peu moins de 100 morts. Mais le Ministère de la Santé pense qu'il y a plus d'un demi-million  de cas en Thailande.

Et parlant du Ministère de la Santé, un des derniers cas recensés est celui de l'ancienne Ministre de la Santé, celle du gouvernement Thaksin. Madame l'ancienne Ministre, Sudarat Keyuraphan, a été testée positive pour le virus H1N1 et est maintenant soignée à l'hôpital Bumrungrad à Bangkok. Au Tamiflu. Elle accuse le gouvernement actuel de ne pas faire suffisamment pour combattre la contagion galopante en Thailande, mais étant dans l'opposition, elle le faisait...

I mean one of the last "elected" Thai Health Minister, from 2002 to 2005, not the present one , not yet anyway.

Sudarat Keyuraphan is treated at the Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok with Tamiflu after tests confirmed she has the H1N1 virus.

She, of course, thinks that the present government does not do enough for containing the spread of the virus, which anyway she was probably also saying before being infected.

And it makes me wonder how so many Thai people get infected in the first place, I mean adult Thai people. We are told in Europe to not kiss the friends we meet, not even shake hands with them in order to limit the spread...

I have been trying to be zen about it up to now. People are paranoid about this new flu, I'm not, I know better, this is a mild flu that kills very few people. I'm from Europe, I'm used to it, nothing special, silly Thai people.

But well, now, if officially there about 9000 cases of people infected by the flu and 65 dead, half-officially, according to the Thai Health Authorities, more than 500,000 could have contracted the H1N1 virus in Thailand. Not that it surprises me that much, 90% of the people infected probably do not go to hospital, nor are they tested for the H1N1 virus (so maybe the number of people infected is far more than 500,000...).

The Thai Prime Minister, Khun Abhisit, has been on twitter for quite some time twitter.com/PM_Abhisit

As of today he has 1,933 followers and he follows 13 people.

I have news for him, an old "friend" of him is now on twitter also, i.e. Khun Thaksin twitter.com/thaksinlive

He still does not follow anybody but has 1,277 followers. I suggest Khun Abhisit as the first one to add to his list of people to follow.

And may I suggest...
