Government still plays the virus blame gameAlmost three weeks after the first Covid infection in a Samut Sakhon seafood market was detected, the government still plays the blame game, with migrant workers as a convenient target. During the first outbreak, Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul called the deadly virus just a type of flu. The government asked Thais to avoid travelling to and from Samut Sakhon unless necessary. Obviously, the government applied the wrong approach in dealing with migrants in Samut Sakhon. It's not a secret that almost all the services we receive these days are provided by migrant workers.
