Govt dials in to 'reopen' from Planet CluelessAre Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and his team from another planet? The next day, Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow said the reopening in 120 days would start on July 1.Who on earth would "starting today" mean starting in two weeks? Reopening the country when the number of new infections still stands at more than 3,000 a day? But hey, it's just like the countdown for reopening the country in four months from today doesn't mean "today", but July 1. To jump ahead and set the goal for reopening the country when the vaccination drive remains extremely sketchy seems out of place.
