Two reasons for that.. 1. Transmissability of Flu is quite low compared to Covid so the chance of reinfection is high 2. Flu vaccine is well injecting you with a lower potent strain of the virus vs Pfizer/ Moderna which are actually just instructions of Rna of how to fight the virus with anti-bodies. And I seem to remember if you got bit by a rabid dog in the 80's, you'd need 14 injections where as now you need just 1. A tetnus booster used to be for 1 year in the 80's but now one is for a decade. Its not weird.. medicines and vaccines get better over time. There is talk about an Army vaccine that will help vs all variants and last a bit longer. So the current vaccines aren't bad, they're just the best we have for now. Also The vaccine is sort of like insurance rather than armor. Masks are the armor (well not cloth masks, they're useless, surgical masks are better but N95 masks are the best and we should all be using them. I mean most of us can afford to pay for plane fare to travel to LOS.. getting a box of 10 N95 shouldn't be hard on our budget. Just get a box and rotate through em.. don't wear what you wore yesterday again today).

Thanks Pdoggg. Was looking forward to using this system but its currently suspended. Hopefully back soon as they figure out Omicron doesn't look to be as deadly as other variants.

Omicron is really contagious and this whole pandemic can go 2 ways. 1. It infects enough people so we all have antibodies and we're all okay for a few months till China opens up again. 2. It infects enough people so that it mutates into a deadlier variant with the high transmissability and we're all fucked. Personally hoping for #1 as I just booked flights for May-June. I also hope (although I don't know for sure) that omicron anti-bodies last longer than a few months because I have a friend who passed away who survived the initial covid but got reinfected with delta and it killed him.

Good Job guys.. the Pfizer one is the way to go. Just plan on going easy for 2-3 days after the shots.

Felony assault

Yep me and my ladyboy mask up everywhere outside of home and wear gloves. We avoid public transporation as much as possible. She has asthma so it would be really bad for her. She wanted to return to Thailand this year but under the quarantine rules and stuff, its not really possible. She also wanted to buy a few things but is unsure with covid if the places are even open so we'll try next year. What really surprised me in this covid thing is how resourceful people can be when they try. We had a few problems where our bathroom had a few tiles fall off and reveal mold underneath and we didn't want to risk anyone coming in.. so we decided to DIY it. Yep you heard that right.. a ladyboy and me fixing our bathroom (tearing it all down, packing debree of sharp tiles into bags, taking it outside, then helping me cut and replace old pipes & valve then cut and install cement board, sheet rock, waterproofing, joint compound, paint, and then cut tiles to install, splash thinset and apply tile. Infact she and I bought a 28 foot ladder and I secure it at the bottom and she goes to the top and paints mold resistant paint outside below the gutter so we don't have mold again). Never would have thought that when we hooked up that she and I are capable of this but we didn't want to live in a mold infested house and had to fix it ourselves. Sure beats the ladyboys that just want the latest iphone every year and want to just look pretty, buy expensive stuff, show off on facebook and be generally lazy but maybe covid has forced us both to be active instead of just paying someone else to fix it.

BTW Have you gotten the vaccine in Thailand? And this delta variant is no joke.. it also seems to be more airborne.

The first 3 passed away during March- April of 2020. 1. The person who did my taxes 2. A person who my dad knew who worked in a shop at the counter of a store 3. One of the health care workers I knew Then it was pretty much a lot of people getting infected by no fatalaties. 4 & 5 in March of 2021.. 4. A bank teller in my bank. She was always nice to me 5. That bank teller's girlfriend.. they were 38 and 32.. #6 was August 2021 He had covid before and survived.. he was vaccinated but he seemed to have a cough that never really went away so long covid and secondary infection. It seems to have been the delta variant as I talked to him sunday and he was fine and he was gone on Saturday.

I would trust homeopathy more than this smoking garbage. I was playing volleyball with my ladyboy and she spiked so hard she ripped my rotator cuff when I tried to block and I didn't have money for surgery. It hurt a ton.. couldn't even lift my hand to pick up soap but then I tried homeopathic medicine (oral and a cream).. it healed it in a month. Good as new but still afraid of her spikes.

How bad has it gotten recently? I am over in New york.. which thankfully has a good % of vaccinated but regretfully a lot of unmaksed people now. One of these who I knew and met 2 weeks ago passed away from covid last saturday. So that makes 6 people I knew personally who passed away of COVID. Hopefully its nowhere that bad for you guys.

COVID?

Sorry to hear, but why did she go? Illness or..?

I for one am very surprised with Thailand's numbers given the numbers of Chinese bus tourists. We already know 50%+ infected are asymptomatic so something seems very off or covered up like with China showing only the numbers of those hospitalized vs truly infected.

It is a big deal because it means any immunity via a vaccine to it will most likely not be like measels/ mumps (entire lifetime) but for a much shorter duration so that means multiple vaccinations over time. Most people can do the lifetime vaccine but people are lazy and can't be bothered to do a vaccine every few months? And ofcourse you have anti vaxxers. So there will be dumbasses who are carriers for not just a few months but maybe for years like the flu.

There are now three known cases of patients contracting COVID-19 twice So much for immunity.

To be brutally honest.. Thai women age worse than ladyboys. Most thai women are past their sell by date at 35 and it sorta begins to be past sell by date at 32ish. Yet to see a 40 year old thai lady that gave me a hard on but a little makeup and a sexy dress and a ladyboy is a great companion. What puts me off most is attitude but it sounds like you won the lottery there. Congrats man!

The only thing that honestly makes a difference is their being able to afford hormones and makeup later on vs in their prime. The ones that can tend to look much better than the ones that don't obviously.

It sorta feels like the AIDS crisis except sped up.

https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-hells-kitchen-homeless-20200816-hvds2xmklzf2lmtsatfjbwipse-story.html COVID 19 has created another crisis.. homelessness since renters want rent and are evicting people unable to pay them.

They didn't seem to travel so would be interesting how they got it. Non symptomatic carrier?

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12354489 New Zealand relied on three types of measures to get rid of the virus: 1. Ongoing border controls to stop Covid-19 from entering the country 2. A lockdown and physical distancing to stop community transmission 3. Case-based controls using testing, contact tracing and quarantine. So how come other places can't do the same?

Lady this is a VIRUS. We have no cure. Our only way to contain it is to stop giving it to each other. Not that it will change her mind but she should read this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/12/us/30-year-old-covid-party-death.html A 30-year-old man who believed the coronavirus was a hoax and attended a “Covid party” died after being infected with the virus, according to the chief medical officer at a Texas hospital. The official, Dr. Jane Appleby of Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, said the man died after deliberately attending a gathering with an infected person to test whether the coronavirus was real. In her statements to news organizations, Dr. Appleby said the man had told his nurse that he attended a Covid party. Just before he died, she said the patient told his nurse: “I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not.” COVID is very real. I personally know 3 people who have died of it, 1 of it was a guy some of you might know if you met him in patts.. frequenter of lb scene but avoided forums like the plague named Mark.. 48 years old.. no pre existing conditions.. met him this february as my fav lb and his fav lb are friends so sometimes we'd get together. He was an investment banker. He's gone from COVID in less than a week. And obviously she's a lunatic who only cares about fanning the flames.

Are Thailand's COVID numbers too good to be true?
