  1. The most lovely Pam, currently based at home in Vientiane, received 2 Sino-something several weeks ago and now thinks she is going to die from Covid any minute. Like with Astra-Zeneca many people now are afraid from touching Sino-something which is a big nonsense. Doing nothing means a much bigger risk than Sino.. or AZ.
  2. I am saying it is far better than nothing if you can´t get the best. The BuBi laboratories are currently buzy developing a vaccine against messing up penalties. The instruction manual comes in English.
  3. Sir, if with utmost respect I may once again clarify what these percentage-numbers could mean: " If a vaccine’s efficacy rate is 80% it doesn’t mean 20 out of every 100 people who get the jab will get a symptomatic case of Covid-19. Instead it means there will be 80% fewer such cases compared with the control group. So if , say, 1% of a control group of 1,000 unvaccinated people develops Covid-19 over a certain number of months, that means 10 people will get ill. With an efficacy rate of 80%, only 2 people should get sick." Just for the record, the BuBi- mantra. Somebody might put it on my gravestone. There is a billion Covid-studies on the market which try to explain all sort of things. Before one looks at the result one should carefully read what the study intends to find out based on what. Again, just for the record. And as we are talking, the following adds some details: " Why did the rate drop? A vaccine efficacy's rate is calculated by comparing the number of COVID-19 infections among trial volunteers who received the vaccine versus the cases among volunteers in the placebo group. In the Brazil trial, 85 participants injected with Sinovac's vaccine developed COVID-19 infections compared to 167 who developed infections in the placebo group, creating an efficacy rate of just above 50%. At Tuesday’s press conference, Palácios said Sinovac’s relatively low efficacy rate of 50% was due to its more rigorous standard for what counts as an infection among trial volunteers. The Butantan Institute said it included six types of cases in its results: asymptomatic, very mild, mild, two levels of moderate, and severe. (The Brazilian authorities stressed that the public should focus on the vaccine's 100% efficacy in protecting against severe cases of COVID-19.) Western vaccine makers generally included only mild, moderate, and severe categories, and companies like Pfizer are doing additional studies to see if the vaccine will prevent asymptomatic cases. " ( Stolen from FORTUNE ) As to the 2 persons getting an infection after Sinovac and one more dying: vaccination does not give 100 protection, see above. Further it would have to be investigated why No 3 died. A businessfriend of mine sadly died from the virus these days and months after 2 shots Biontec. Means what? No easy. Based on these facts(?) the Sino-something should still contribute to protection from this virus. In particular prevent the worst cases.
  4. That Covid19-thing is a never ending tragedy as long as not maybe 80 % of all people received 2 shots or possibly 3. The choice until that has been achieved is either to kill the economy or your people. The Netherlands waived all restrictions 2 weeks ago and now numbers are exploding. The same will happen in the UK after July 19th. Many men seem to think that low numbers mean the virus is dead but it just sits behind the tree and waits for a victim. I do not follow the Thai tourist opening schemes any more, pure phantasies. Instead of buying Chinese submarines the Thai government should buy trainloads of their Sinovac vaccines, it is good enough to block off the worst as long as they cannot get anything better in volume. People who insist on not being vaccinated should be paying for hospital treatment themselves if they catch the Covid. Generally speaking, too many idiots everywhere.
  5. Analysing Cav´s post again there might be a possibility that Cav thinks milk prices go up with crude oil prices because milk is made by Exxon et al. Kind of white diesel.
  6. Try to explain the relation between Biden, the Democrats and high fuel- and milk-prices. ( You won´t be able to, but I am just asking) A gallon in Germany would cost you average 6,72 USD by the way, more in France. The following will show the influence of President Trump´s presence on milk prices https://www.statista.com/statistics/236854/retail-price-of-milk-in-the-united-states/
  7. Sir, nothing could ever stop me from supporting the General´s unselfish efforts to reestablish tourism. I have therefore deeply thought and may now introduce the Bangkok fuckbox scheme. Vaccinated tourists holding proper insurance and cash could spend 5 days quarantine in Nana Hotel with daily excursion over the road into Nanaplaza strictly accompanied by qualified nurses selected by the Thai Tourist authority and the owner of Happy Girls Massage. The quarantine can voluntarily be expanded over a period of another 5 days if the tourist wishes so. What do you think? I am sure it will attract a lot of people, myself included.
  8. I have analysed this breakthrough on the way back to fully functioning tourism. I count 26 official- or semi-official individuals looking at arriving passengers. There should be more in the background, maybe somebody could contact the phuket authorities to verify the real number. They have even chosen one military person although after thorough evaluation seem to have selected a representative of lesser hight not to frighten incoming tourists. Possibly a general moved to inactive post after having been caught in a corruption scandal. ( Personal guessing). One person is spreading his arms to prevent tourists from running into the officials and causing turbulence. Two backup persons point into a certain direction to prevent tourists getting lost in the airport. Unidentified falang with flipflops and without luggage disregards Covid19 minimum distance without being immediately put in quarantine. ( Tall individual right side of tourist 1 in the queue). I apologize in advance if I overlooked anything of significance.
  9. Yes, fully vaccinated, and with what? Mekong whittky? Adding all national forecasts for this year you may arrive at a 2 years production if nothing goes tecnically wrong, and then you have to bring it to Lek and Tip in the woods.
  10. Because of Brexit. India considered as British territory once control has been fully brought back under Viceroy Paul I (Gascoigne), here walking ashore near Bombay naval base. Red bellybag contains nomination docs.
  11. Reading my morning newspaper I came about this: Australia obviously succeeded in keeping the infection rate very low following drastic measures. Further I read that just about 5 % of the population received a vaccination so far. So I thought WTF do these people think where they are living? Lock up Australia for ever to keep the virus out???? The day in future they open the borders that virus will have days of pure joy hitting all the unprotected individuals. Says the hairless oracle-monk and prospects are bad. He ain´t wanking or what do you think?
  12. A great football festival at the right place. And how a game depends on things happening within a fraction of a second. Talking about Müller missing the target by about 1 meter. ( 3 feet +)
  13. Wrong, Sir. It stops the infection at a very high percentage which then depends on the vaccine which is used. It does prevent people from becoming very sick at almost 100 %. For an evaluation of the Jakarta-spread one would have to know the total number of Sinovac-customers in Indonesia or Jakarta. 350 infected doctors would be insignificant between for example 10.000.000 vaccinated. Some vaccinated still get the Covid anyway. It ain´t all that easy.
  14. Gentlemen, I am currently spending summer holidays in Portugal. A country that has been successfully fighting the virus over the last 6 months by implementing strict rules how to behave in public. Successfully, to repeat it. As per tomorrow Friday the city of Lisbon shall be cut off from any traffic in- and out due to a sudden dramatic increase of the new Delta-version of the virus. Bad news for people thinking it shall be over soon . It won´t. Tell this Khun Prayut (?) if you see him .
  15. https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/medizin/corona-news-am-donnerstag-die-wichtigsten-entwicklungen-zu-sars-cov-2-und-covid-19-a-52c30e14-5adc-4a29-9bd0-9da90584ac8b Sorry this is German only. It says 350 Indonesian doctors have caught the virus although fully treated by Chinese Sinovac.
  16. Since January this is about the 25th announcement that tourism soon shall break loose due to another unbeatable idea of the authorities. Although this time it originates from the center of general (sic!) wisdom. Problem beeing that the virus in whichever new version does not know about it and just proceeds marching on wherever it can. Nuff said.
  17. Sir, which is what I wanted to say. Would I be a black American I would be full of rage , either in prison for something or dead.
  18. To my opinion he is trying to play a role as a super patriot to adjust for the colour of his skin. No success here I believe because the people from the right would still not invite him for Christmas dinner. He would be better off to join the ranks of his bretheren and scream that black lives matter day and night. Enough to do here if you watch the Republicans weakening the voting possibilities in certain areas of certain states. A criminal act if you ask me. Alternatively he could establish himself as a deeply religious preacherman, then buy a Learjet and a goldchain.
  19. Sir, I have been trading with them Chinese for an estimated period of 30 years, here comes my summary: on an individual basis they can be as nice or bad as any other human being as long as everything goes smoothly. As soon as it comes to accepting responsibility for anything having gone wrong and having to pay a price for it you can totally forget expecting any sort of honest behaviour. No idea where this comes from but it is a Mainland China cultural thing, the Taiwanese are a totally different breed. Believing any statement of the official Chinese side has a similar value like believing anything that Trump says. Nuff said.
  20. All that Trump admirers can manage is copying links to braindead nonsense-superspreaders.
  21. Due to some spare time I checked who Cav´s latest hero Allyn Root is. Another heavily brain-damaged individual as it looks, he thinks as follows: " In 2014, he described Obama as a "Manchurian candidate", possibly hired by the Bilderberg Group to destroy the United States and "kill all of us". Except Cavanami I guess.
  22. Of course he would, look at the great Senator Cruz. Donald so to say called his wife a useless bitch and Cruz thanked Donald for his unbiased judgement.
  23. If somebody would try a cheat-list with President Trump Mr Khunsanuk would have to apply for more bandwidth.
