Taiwanese Man Jumps to Death From Quarantine Hotel
Re: Taiwanese Man Jumps to Death From Quarantine Hotel
We're forgetting the headline of the thread, 32 years of age is too young to die in any situation, but to jump too your death because of the effects of drugs just seems a waste.
I actually wrote on another thread about the situation and the country wanting to open up to the tourist trade.
Firstly I would think that the country needs to consider opening all what is closed now, and undue all or most restrictions that are in force. That is obviously apart from the common sense ones, such has the 3 do's in the aid of prevention of stopping the continued spread of the virus.
But with all this said, transport, hotels and restaurants are the minimum needs of the tourist, and all need to be in place in a near to normal operational practice. Then there is the places to be fully operational to entice the tourist to come here in the first place, such has the major site's and attractions, like Angkor Park, along with museum's and art galleries. Last numbers had shown Chinese tourists were of the largest number of visitors to the Kingdom, but then there was the ever growing attractions of the many casinos in the country, but even many of those are closed or still in a unfinished building situation. Yes, China's tourists bring the higher revenue, but the larger groups also attract the larger spread of Covid19.

Always "hope" but never "expect".

That said, Knowing my luck, I’ll be in quarantine when they end it all. But that’s the lottery right now.

'Decision to be made in two weeks'. If after Pchum Ben ... bla bla bla bla.... Fill in the conditions about cases and deaths
Major difference.
With 95% of the schools still closed, loads of venues still closed, most venues serving beer in coffee mugs there's no way Cambodia will open in two weeks time. At least as far as I think.
But.... It's great they're finally thinking about an exit strategy. Kudos for that.
Don't be so quick to pour piss on a bit of optimism.
I'm hoping for an opening too, haven't seen my family for 23 months now, so it's about time. It's just I don't think a visit is worth a 2 x 14 days quarantine plus multiple overpriced tests.
Re: Taiwanese Man Jumps to Death From Quarantine Hotel
I am trying to figure out why someone preparing to commit suicide would leave a fair amount of cash for police and hotel staff to seize. A couple weeks ago another guy left $1800 cash in his room when he committed suicide (allegedly - see post below).

Wouldn't someone who was planning to kill himself want to go out and have a last hurrah, maybe to buy another bag of ice, another chance or two at a gambling venue, night with a bar girl, or whatever else fits their fancy? Or is that just how an ordinary, not deranged and troubled person would think?
Or, is the cash left behind considered to be an insurance policy/contingency plan in case their attempts fail, so they'd have some time and money to plan whether they want to try again?

Just read the article half the people died were fully vaccinated, not good odds being vaccinated with the Chinese stuff

No, very successful people with huge resources commit suicide too. Robin Williams and Steve Jobs for example.The Judge wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:21 pm I am trying to figure out why someone preparing to commit suicide would leave a fair amount of cash for police and hotel staff to seize.

Re: Taiwanese Man Jumps to Death From Quarantine Hotel
In this case, it is a "quarantine hotel", so hopefully the inmates are not allowed to go outside the hotel and get methed-up in a casino with a hooker.The Judge wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:21 pm I am trying to figure out why someone preparing to commit suicide would leave a fair amount of cash for police and hotel staff to seize.

Re: Taiwanese Man Jumps to Death From Quarantine Hotel
My cynical mind's first thought was it was not the money the suicide left. It was the money the first responder left. I doubt I'm the only one.The Judge wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:21 pm I am trying to figure out why someone preparing to commit suicide would leave a fair amount of cash for police and hotel staff to seize.

Robin Williams committed suicide because he was in the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease and was severely depressed over it.
