John Wayne?

good to know...never seen that addressed amid the tsunami of info on the web, thanks. Also good signs are disappearing. This kind of thing reminds me of Thoreau and his writing on civil disobedience. Seems many Thai's are on board with that, including some of the police.

how could you stop that :)

that woman should work for Fox

ok, here's my question...what's the proof of having an ATK within, what is it? 3 days? If you buy a test kit, run it and show positive do you have to carry the damn thing around with you for the next 3 days or what? Clearly any paper copy might be faked, but maybe they don't care? Take photo of it with your camera? but then who's to know that was YOUR test? As usual the regulation comes with many more questions than answers.

I wonder if they could swab deep in your throat with lady cock? Someone should check if that works on the test as well. More comfy than deep stab with cotton swab.

oh good the feet of the people will be safe from Covid :) what got me in that piece was... Although Omicron, which is believed to be 2-3 times more transmissible than Delta, has put pressure on hospitals in both countries, deaths and intensive care cases remain below previous peaks. In the UK, where the first Omicron case was discovered six weeks ago, the number of patients in mechanical ventilation beds is less than one-quarter of their January 2021 peak. In South Africa, where the variant was first discovered, excess deaths during its Omicron wave peaked at less than one-fifth of the toll suffered during the country’s Beta variant-fuelled wave in January last year. Paul Glasziou, the director of the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare at Bond University in Australia, has estimated the variant to be about one-third as deadly as Delta for people who are unvaccinated and less deadly than the flu for the vaccinated. I mean has NO ONE in gov there read this kind of thing???? did not know where to put this exactly but it's Covid related I think...

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/1/7/omicron-exposes-east-west-divide-on-living-with-covid Jayant Menon, a visiting senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, told Al Jazeera “overreacting” to the virus could no longer be justified at this stage of the pandemic. “Yet, we continue to see responses from governments that cannot be justified in any cost-benefit sense, even allowing for a broad margin of error,” Menon said. Asia’s cautious stance stands in contrast with countries such as the US, the UK and Australia, where record-breaking case numbers are fueling perceptions that tightly controlling the variant is either practically impossible or not worth the economic and social costs. In South Africa, where the variant was first discovered, excess deaths during its Omicron wave peaked at less than one-fifth of the toll suffered during the country’s Beta variant-fuelled wave in January last year. Paul Glasziou, the director of the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare at Bond University in Australia, has estimated the variant to be about one-third as deadly as Delta for people who are unvaccinated and less deadly than the flu for the vaccinated.

well, a Nation article (if you can call the snippet short blurbs on it an article) quotes Vichaiyut Hospital respiratory specialist Dr Manoon Leechawengongs as saying....The new virus strain also causes milder symptoms and is more like a normal cold... It easily infects the upper respiratory tract but rarely leads to dangerous lung infections. The Omicron surge will likely result in widespread infection of both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, leading to herd immunity that brings the pandemic to end, Manoon said. Booster jabs may be unnecessary in the future because Omicron infection will work as a live attenuated vaccine that boosts the immunity more effectively than any vaccine, he added. Believe we'll see if this is true soon. If so it'll pretty much make the I of antivaxers a moot point . Currently a running updated daily data site on the New York Times has 14 day change stats of 195% RISE in new cases while at the same time a DROP of deaths at 6%. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-cases.html Not sure about only vaxed having that low impact PigDog, search for death stats worldwide. I could only find one in Texas USA, who'd previously had Covid, possibly Delta, and has serious underlying conditions. UK had less than 50 last I looked and their growth of new cases is like the USA and Australia. I would think the hysteria mongering media would be shouting DEATH loudly if it was possible.

check out this guy starting at 10:20. Thai Bound is stuck in Bkk. a day before he was set to fly back to UK after 3 weeks in LOS he came up positive and all they did was call him and tell him to stay in his room. Interesting stuff, he's a bit hoarse but otherwise not put out but the other info is good too as he reports in Pattaya at the girly bars it's not even the C team on, as in NOT good lookin birds. But at Nana the only ones all up and down the street so he reports if that's your thing you'll be happy. :) Believes they are overwhelmed (as to why they never got back to him). One girl reported ALL the girls at the bar have it, and other mates in Patters say it's all over the place "rippin thru Pattaya" so we shall soon see if the experts are right and it's weakened to almost bad cold level and giving immunity after a short bout of it. I believe Campbell is dead on. with World new cases at around 174% increase, deaths are at -7%. Should know soon.

I believe that guy knows his stuff and hits proper scientific sources, big on peer reviewed data, etc. I hope he's right, the damage done by the over reaction and misinformed LOS gov has been fatal to probably thousands of small businesses. Seems many either closed for good (while the big boys UPGRADED, hmmm). I believe the lockdown and restrictions have done more harm than the disease. Very sad. An end to all this soon would bring shouts of joy from the world.

I was wondering about that...so this IS a new location and yeah that corner layout is best I agree. Best for breezes and also watching the street AND for those walking along to see the bar and drop in for a few. Hope I can visit it.

The first thing *I* noticed was that the pavement, curbing and sidewalk surfaces all look trashed ages ago. IF they thought it was re-opening full tilt (and not being all re-purposed) I'd think at least redo ALL that crumbling, patched crappy public thoroughfare. lord knows there has been ample time. MANY other businesses around LOS seem to have used this time to upgrade. Looks like they're gonna khao san road the whole stretch
-
might it be possible to operate like bars in North Carolina and other states do and serve only mixers? Ya bring your own bottle and they charge for the ice and mixers. Get some food served nightly. It's a restaurant :) Maybe outside area or big fans moving air and social distance inside?

I always wonder where Pocky is and what she's doing, lil bundle of energy would be good for Emmy's bar.

first, dump the khaki color, very bad. Second better shorts...those look like cheapies and fit is boring as a burlap sack. I'd say go with the bikini but that would end in disaster.

no, only trying to explain what may be a misunderstanding

will do on the video, tho it's not likely I will risk falling into their sticky spider web tourist trap. Bangkok Air flies I believe that's the one but it's at like 4 in the afternoon after getting INTO Swampy just before midnight. No one has discussed what rules are for transit like this. Can you just go to the specific airline you are continuing on with? Will you have to sit and wait at the gate for 16 hours? it's stuff like this that is gonna mess with Cambodia's nice new entry regs. Having to pay many hundreds for PCR tests, prebooked lux hotel, etc. JUST SO I can travel onward is well....it's fucked up. (If you don't think they have figured this out in Thailand, think again, they'd LOVE to CAPTURE tourists passing thru and fleece them before releasing them).

seems a LOT of people WANT to live in a hysterical state. Constantly viewing "information" and keeping on top of any and all developments will do NOTHING but twist their brains in a knot. It won't keep them safe or tell them how to avoid an airborne virus. All I want to hear is death rates and hospital populations. NEW CASES is bullshit. You want low new cases? STOP TESTING. BINGO!!!! we have NO new cases. OMG! we have 500 more cases this week than last week (never mind that those 500 more were as nothing in last years peak). Media is just jerking people around because if more people are watching ad revenues go UP. Keep em dialed in, watching and worried so they'll see every ad we show :)))

she don't really show the weapon of ass destruction. I'd give it a try if it was the coat hook. (only one way that's goin down the throat with that curve). Now if she spewed a load like Molly I'd pay airfare.

it's GETTING ***TO** Cambodia that's the problem. Flight from here to Bkk...$1000+....layover waiting for a short hop flight to Cambo going out of Snooky? over 12 hours as I recall. IF you could magically get to DM the price would be cut in half but the wait time still 12-18 if I recall right. Or I could go with another option, thru Inchon at $3000+ face it, it's NOT really open if you have to throw mega bux at it to get there. And then be in Cambodia? omg. Would be happy to sit and wait for a flight outta Swampy, but not the better part of a day. Is there a "quarantine/transit" lounge? Would I be able to get one of those overpriced capsule "rooms" at Swampy then come up for air and hop the flight to Cambo? doubtful. Seems it's rigged to make it easier and cheaper for you to jump thru Thai Master's hoops and cross your fingers. If I tested positive I'd tell em to get fucked if they wanted money from me for a 14 day stay at a hospital living on congee and water. IF (and this is a HUGE an LAUGHABLE if) they wanted tourists (aside from the wealthy ones they are sure they can get in the future) they would PICK UP COST of 14 day quarantine as something like .06% of incoming fliers test Pos. The more I see how they rig this whole experience the more I DETEST the current military elitist rulers. What they're doing to Pataya is nothing short of a slow execution. But hey, drink away if you're in Bkk and other places.

oh, so Merica ia term of affection...sorry my bad, that slang reminds me of those that would say Merikin in a not so nice snarky, put down kinda way....carry on.
