    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I've been in Thailand since March and have no reason to doubt the official statistics. Any time there's even a hint of an outbreak it's all over the news and social media; there's no way they could be concealing the numbers. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/thailand/ Having...
