Mississippi - 70% of poison control calls, relate to people, taking Ivermectin purchased from feed stores and ingested to fight the Covid virus, because Fox told them to.

 

good

Amazing lack of Ivermectin loons here. Other Thai forums are stuffed with them and their mad conspiracy theories 

shame on you all

Fully vaccinated Biontec/ Johnson et al -customers also die, but very very few. Some also die from being vaccinated with whatever. Looking at the whole picture these events are meaningless. Hundred-thousands would die without vaccine.

I do not care whether Sinovac is great or not, I am only trying to support facts within an increasing jungle of  lies and rumours and misunderstandings. To be sure whether or not something does a good job or not needs throwing a wide net to catch reality. Details matter.

Bloomberg.com :

" Indonesia found that Sinovac Biotech Ltd.’s Covid-19 vaccine was less effective at protecting against death and severe illness in April to June, compared with the previous three months.

The shots prevented 79% of deaths and 53% of hospitalization in April to June, compared with 95% and 74%, respectively, in January to March, Siti Nadia Tarmizi, spokeswoman for the government’s Covid-19 task force, said in a briefing on Friday. She didn’t give a reason for the drop in the vaccine’s effectiveness. "

 

Where do your read that it is ineffective against the Delta-strain? I do also believe ( after having read a lot of comments) that it is less effective, but still much better than nothing.

people just want it easy, don’t they?

they see that 51% figure and hold on to that, not understanding what that figure means, how it was calculated and when it was conducted etc 

Same with Pfizer Vs AZ

Pfizer must be “better” than AZ due to those initial efficacy figures from 2020

Used to be a regular in Eden a decade and a half  ago. But as the years went by, the girls got more “professional” and worse looking and the whole places got that boiler room vibe.

Daisy Dream Is an arse licking place, is it?

Saw him in Bourban St a few months ago, everyone made a big fuss of him and i got the impression this was a rare outing. 
 

89 is a good innings 

I am off there in a couple of weeks. I wanted to go to Vientiane really and sit by the Mekong in a beergarden drinking BeerLao

do they have this kind of place in Nong Khai?

This forum was a great resource for me when I first moved here in 2007. I always get a vague nostalgic thrill when I log on here, remembering those times.

living in Huai Kwang in a 22m studio, 3,900 a month and walking every night down Asoke to Nana or cowboy 

I only knew two Thai dishes, so lived off Kra Pow moo 3 times a day from the condo cafe. (The Tom Yum was terrible there)

might go for a walk down there this week 

*sigh*

The last few months police make everything close

Not places like Tulip, which has been open for about 5 weeks 

It’s very closed at the moment, one of the neighbours said “police make close”

seems a bit strange

Gentlemen, my confidence in public statements of the wise Thai government is virtually endless. I am therefore still worried about the numbers that are available from Johns Hopkins saying 29 new infections yesterday totalling 2800 alltogether.

Does anybody know about the secret that keeps numbers ridiculously low in the kingdom? Burning joss-sticks?

Good personal hygiene, hot climate, healthy population, less virulent strain 

and Thais aren’t constantly slobbering over each other like Italians

Hajj to Mecca will be even more so. 

Well it won’t happen until the borders are open.

Probably not very interesting at all.

unless you mean something else?

Ramadan should be interesting this year

I think they will probably stay at home praying, like they normally do?

Looks like the remains of the tourism industry. 

Bangkok as a nightlife destination is well and truly finished, isn’t it? 
 

Where can you go for a daytime drink and pool now? 

- 29 new confirmed #COVID19 cases (2,672 total)
- 96 more discharged (1,593)
- 3 more deaths (46)
 

so how will they go about loosening the restrictions?

Provence by Provence, keeping the borders closed. Getting the internal economy open again?

QPP RIP

Won’t be long before all the restaurants are closed in Pattaya. Police are already doing the rounds and closing places at random.
there is one beer bar near to me that is operating almost completely in plain sight, they aren’t even pretending to serve food 

Incredible the amount of “restaurants” that have sprung up in the last few hours

i swear they weren’t serving food 3 hours ago 

Gym says it’s closing tonight. Massage parlours closed as of a few days ago

”restaurants” all still open 

That would be 19th, then.

i think is more of a case that the police haven’t made the rounds yet to tell people to close

Prayut devolved power to order closures elsewhere to provincial level. 

Chonburi provincial government has ordered closure of all entertainment venues 18-31 March 31st, 2020.  Pattaya go sleep now. 

Bars are still open this afternoon, I guess they are claiming that are restaurants?

but everything is open as of this afternoon 

But quieter tonight in Pattaya, feels like there has been some kind of change in the last few hours

Noticed a few bars and restaurants didn’t open up today  

I went for a dump in Pattaya City hospital this morning (emergency measure due to oysters last night)

I was surprised how quiet it was. You would never know there was a pandemic going on 

Pattaya is quiet,  but not dead by any means. 
 

Windmill was packed last night as was Billabong 

Are there no hidden geniuses in some back room in a small pub (like the old Belgian Dog) cranking out strangely good burgers? 
 

I don’t half feel nostalgic for bars like Big Mango this week
