seven, in Brazil the supporters of President Bolsonaro probably won't be wearing masks, much like many of the Trump supporters in the USA. President Bolsonaro is homo and trans phobic, so it is likely most of the Brazilian shemales are Bolsonaro non-supporters.

They are reviewing the mortality rates over the past years compared to the months that COVID-19 has been spreading recently. The rates are higher compared to previous years. This takes longer to compile and analyze - are all those additional deaths due to COVID-19? Probably not, but certainly a lot of them are. This is one area of data analysis that is not being discussed as much as it takes longer and happens months later.

Here's another video from Serena, being a "ladyboy construction worker" building up her garden in front of her house.

In the midst of the chaos that is associated with the Trump presidency, Congress has released its final report on the Boeing 737 Max. It is 238 pages long, but this Youtube video does a good job summarizing. For those Republican supporting forum members out there, I would like to know if you can continue to justify less government oversight and regulation of business, when things like this happen.

Mecca and Medina are not the same city. Mecca is the site of the Kaaba, which is the structure that houses the holy stone (thought to be a meteorite), that Muslim pilgrims circle 7 times counterclockwise for Hajj or Umrah.

Here's a good Youtube video outlining 7 tips on how to reduce the chance of catching COVID 19 during travel. This is from Dr. Mike Hansen, an internal medicine specialist, focusing on pulmonary and critical care.

Here is a study that was published in the Journal of American Medical Association about the risk of catching COVID-19 during a flight. This was also posted on the CNN website. I recently had to take 2 flights, one from an Arabian Gulf country to Montreal Canada (12 hours) and then 6 weeks later return from Montreal to the Arabian Gulf Country. The first flight was 100% full, and the return flight was 90% full. On the outward bound flight, all passengers had to wear face masks except when eating. On the inward bound flight, all passengers had to wear provided face shields and face masks. I opted to use my own N95 masks for both flights. No one on these flights contracted COVID 19. The cabin crew wore full length protective suits and hoods (almost like a biohazard suit) on the outbound flight, and on the inbound flight they wore a protective coveralls, face masks and either face shield or protective wrap around safety eye googles. The meal service was different as each item on the meal tray was now sealed. It used to be only the hot dish was wrapped in foil, the bun/bread was loose, and a slip cover was on the salad/dessert containers. I also adjusted the air stream so it was blowing just in front of me.

Here's a viewpoint from Chanya (post op ladyboy) and Warren her partner who is an Australian expat moved to Thailand.

Have you wondered what ladyboys do when they go back to the family farm? Here's a video from Youtube vlogger, Serena. She was working as a showgirl at the SImon Phuket Cabaret Show on Patong Beach. However, since the show closed in April, with no news of a reopening date, many of the performers have given up and moved back home, unable to afford rent. Serena's family farm is near Buriram, which is part of Isaan, northeastern Thailand.

Those who ignore history have a tendency to repeat the same mistakes. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 lasted about 2 years and had 4 waves. It was estimated to have infected 500 million people which was about 1/3 of the world's population and around 50 million deaths. There is more information about this on various websites, but the Center of Disease Control is one of the more reliable ones (unless you are a conspiracy theorist believer). It is instructional to look at what happened back then, particularly for those who think COVID-19 is just a "nasty flu" and should be allowed to run its course. Professor Kim Woo Joo infectious disease specialist from Korea University Guro Hospital has been interviewed a few times about COVID - 19. His insights about the disease are quite valuable. While the interviews are in Korean, the subtitles are in English, just click on the "CC" box to turn the subtitles on (will turn on a red underline).

The reports of what COVID-19 is doing when preventative measures are not implemented shows it has a great impact on economic activity than most people would imagine. Staff sick percentages between 30-40% causes major problems to companies, and worse problems for essential service workers, like police, fire, ambulance, health care workers, etc. People who are affected evenly mildly with COVID 19 are off for at least 2 weeks, and sometimes up to months if severely affected. In the US alone one organization has tracked at least 900 health care workers having died from COVID 19. When hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID 19 patients, patients with other problems face delays in treatment - which can also lead to more numbers dying. They won't be included in the COVID-19 statistics since they died from untreated medical problems. As far as rushing vaccines to production - Russia is the first country to skip the phase 3 requirement of clinical trials - this important step is to test the vaccine in a larger population, around 10,000 plus to determine how prevalent and serious side effects are. In countries that have strong regulations, skipping this step would definitely lead to huge multimillion dollar lawsuits of negligence, unless they pass "no fault" legislation like the US Republican senate is proposing to shield corporations and governments from such lawsuits.

Here is a good post from Sciencealert.com. So for those who don't believe masks work - you can try this experiment yourself to see what happens. The masks tested. (Fischer et al., Science Advances, 2020) "The fundamental question is, how well does a specific mask type prevent droplets from spreading," lead researcher and molecular imaging specialist Martin Fischer says in a press Q&A. The question is particularly relevant in the coronavirus pandemic, given many people have taken to buying fabric masks online, or making their own masks at home. While the general consensus from experts is that all of these kinds of loose-fitting masks should help reduce COVID-19 transmission – which is why face coverings are mandated in many places around the world right now – most of the mask testing to date has been done on things like surgical masks and fitted N95 masks, and not on loose fabric masks or face coverings. "Surgical masks are commonly worn by medical personnel and have received a fair amount of testing in clinical settings," Fischer says. "But as far as we know, there was no quick, easy, and cost-effective way to demonstrate the effectiveness of such a wide variety of other mask types." To fill that void, Fischer and his team devised an easy-to-make, inexpensive laser experiment, which can be used to test how different kinds of masks block tiny droplets that come out of people's mouths when they speak. In the experimental setup, a lens turns an optical laser into a sheet of light. This light sheet, shone through a dark enclosure (made up of cardboard sheets and duct tape), reveals when droplets pass through it, with the results being filmed by a mobile phone camera. In experiments, people would speak toward the sheet of light, saying the phrase "Stay healthy, people", while wearing 14 different kinds of face masks and coverings. "We confirmed that when people speak, small droplets get expelled, so disease can be spread by talking, without coughing or sneezing," Fischer says. "We could also see that some face coverings performed much better than others in blocking expelled particles." The results showed that fitted N95 masks blocked the greatest amount of droplets released by the person speaking, followed by surgical masks, then masks made with polypropylene. However, all sorts of other masks, including cotton masks and even knitted ones, showed an ability to block droplets, as did a valved version of the N95 mask, which didn't score as well as the fitted N95 mask due to its exhaust valve. "These valves are closed when breathing in, but can open when speaking, hence letting out unfiltered air," Fischer says. "In other words, they do a great job of protecting the wearer from the outside environment, but a bad job of protecting others from the wearer, and it is the second role that is the important one to reduce COVID-19 spread." Most surprising, however, were the results at the bottom of the table. In terms of blocking droplets, bandanas were among the less effective, but worst of all is wearing a neck fleece, which the researchers found is actually worse than not wearing any kind of facial covering. A schematic of the experimental setup. (Fischer et al., Science Advances, 2020) That sounds counter-intuitive – and likely warrants further examination – but the researchers think the neck fleece actually makes droplets proliferate in the air. "Common sense would dictate that wearing anything is better than wearing nothing – this was not the case here," Fischer says. "We observed that the number of droplets increased when the speaker put on the neck fleece. We believe that the material of our fleece breaks down large droplets emitted during speaking into several smaller ones. This could make wearing such a mask counterproductive, since smaller droplets have an easier time being carried away by air currents and endangering nearby persons." Of course, the researchers are eager to emphasise that the focus of the study is actually the low-cost testing method they developed, not their own test results of which masks are the most and least effective – as the same kind of testing could be conducted more robustly and more systematically than in the proof-of-concept study here. That said, their own testing is certainly food for thought, highlighting again that not every mask is equal, and if you really want to protect other people and help to reduce the spread of coronavirus, you really need to think about what you're putting on your face. The findings are reported in Science Advances.

This was published in the Bangkok Post Aug 6, 2020 This was proposed before the civil unrest of 2006. Unfortunately due to the many changes of government and the coup, this legislation never passed into law, as each new session meant starting it from the beginning again. Hopefully this time it will be passed in October, as the government cabinet has approved it.

Here is a video of this year's national draft and some lbs who were exempt. The lb in the white dress is quite glamorous and was a Miss Tiffany Universe contestant.

There still needs to be more investigation. There was a patient in France who was found to have been infected by COVID 19 - with his doctor estimating he was exposed sometime between Dec 14 - 22, which was four days before WHO's China country office was notified of pneumonia of unknown causes being detected in Wuhan. The patient had not been outside France prior to his infection - two of his children did contract COVID 19, but his wife did not show symptoms. Interestingly his wife worked at a supermarket near Charles De Gaulle Airport and it is speculated that she might have been exposed to an overseas visitor and became an asymptomatic carrier. This story was on BBC World News, May 5, 2020. The same article also reported that a post mortem examination of a patient in California showed that the first COVID 19 related death in the US happened a month earlier than thought. it is easy to speculate and point fingers before all the facts are known. I think it will take a while before we know the whole story of where COVID-19 came from and where it started.

The theory that China manufactured COVID 19 is a widely circulating conspiracy theory. One thing that the propagators of this theory cannot explain is if the whole world is brought to economic ruin - then so is China's economy. What is the point of making this "bio-weapon" if it disrupts their own economy too? Yes, China was late in reporting that COVID 19 is able to spread human - to human by around a month or so. Yes, they did try to suppress the information at the early stages as the higher levels of bureaucracy tried to save "face", but going on to say this was a deliberate bio-weapon is a leap too far, particularly when scientists from so many different countries have come to the conclusion it is not man made.

Note that there is a life threatening interaction with "Poppers" - amyl nitrate and erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra, Levitra, Cialis. This will cause severe low blood pressure to the extent that the circulatory system will collapse and no longer pump blood through your body. This will lead to certain death unless you get immediate treatment. There has been speculation a large number of unknown deaths of older males in Thailand are caused by this deadly combination. Unsuspecting customers do not get proper counseling from the street vendor who sells the generic "Viagra" and poppers or the pharmacist may not inform unless asked. Poppers are illegal in Thailand except for medical reasons.

They are also tracking the flights that carry freight, as well as the flights that the pilots are doing without passengers to keep their pilot's license active.

Herd immunity only occurs when around 70% plus of the population has had the infection. There are some indications that COVID-19 does not cause the immune system to develop long term immunity - antibodies are fading after a few months, and some people are testing positive more than once after recovering from the initial infection. There has to be more research done to confirm this - but if COVID 19 persists and returns seasonally like the flu, the only protection will be a seasonal vaccine, just like the flu vaccines.

There could be something missing in the translation if she actually means improper use of face masks - if she meant that, she is correct. The proper use of face masks definitely will reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The questions should be how did an Egyptian soldier get into Thailand as there has been a ban on international arrivals for a few months, and then why wasn't he monitored during quarantine?

If you check out some of her other videos she seems to have a pretty good sense of humor, she has a boyfriend, and has a Bachelor of Education degree. Yes, she is definitely cute!

None of the articles I read about her specify she is postop. There is one article that hints of it. One other thing is that she does not appear to have gone for breast implants - or if she did they are on the small end of the spectrum.

This Swedish postop TG, Mathilda Hogberg has some good Youtube videos explaining SRS, and hormone effects and SRS myths. Her SRS story Q&A about SRS Myths about SRS In the past there have been posts about srs that have been inaccurate, so hopefully this will educate some. While I know most forum members are preop fans, there are a few who like postops too.

Some history making here as she is the first transgender model featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions Good to see positive news about transgenders in the media.
