You have anything to back up that statement? Seems like a convenient way to legitimize junk research intended only to support alt-right narrative.
Really, i did not know that, also i don't claim to be one. But going back to the subject peer reviews are meaningless and the worlds greatest scientists of the past did very well with OUT them.
I missed a word out, i hope my meaning is more clear now.

All alt-right sources or non peer reviewed nonsense. For each of these garbage "research" papers from dubious sources, there are 100 accredited papers that refute your alt right nonsense.
You are seriously using Epoch Times as a credible source? The only person you are fooling with this is yourself.
Peer reviews are meaningless.

The problem is that lockdown in Thailand means congregation of too many people in a small space. The good doctor is recognising that Thailand is a desperately poor country in which "lockdown" enforces close proximity. It has therefore achieved the opposite effect. The likes of myself and others, who can (and have) seriously locked down for 2 months, (viz not been out of my condo into the great metropolis of Bangkok), is not an option available to the majority of the Thai population, in Bangkok, or elsewhere. For the MoPH not to have recognised the reality of life of ordinary Thais speaks volumes. The economy has been substantially destroyed, and, along with a slow, (but improving vaccination rollout?) is the main reason Thailand's recovery will be slow and painful. The case numbers (if they are true) are relatively low, and the encouraging (if true) statistic, is that recoveries from infected persons are higher than new cases. Death numbers are also low. None of this is a cause for celebration, but a reality check, and a more pragmatic approach are certainly needed.
How did you eat and exercise for two months without leaving your apartment?

4 hours ago, NanLaew said:During the Group stages of the recent Euro football, three players, one player from the Scottish team and two from the English team, met up for a post-game chat in the tunnel as they were team mates at an EPL team. Subsequent routine Covid testing showed the Scots player was Covid-positive and he went into quarantine. The two English players tested Covid-negative but had to self-isolate but not quarantine from fellow team members even for training, until a second test came back negative.
Most people understood why the Scottish guy had to quarantine while others argued that all players from both teams, regardless of all yielding negative tests should have been self-isolating. The key to the decision was that the three players in question were in close proximity and chatting as a small group for more than 15 minutes. That exceeded the criteria for spreading the virus. Playing 90-minutes, even with goal celebrations (there were none) does not convey the same Covid transmission risks.
So, taking that criteria and applying it to your flawed 'local 7/11' argument, shopping there or at Tesco carries the same risk as 22 players doing 45-minutes each way in the open air. However, sitting in a small, air-conditioned room with your five biker buddies and a waitress is akin to having a 15-minute chat in the players tunnel.
This analogy brought to you by a hard-fought, goalless draw (again) at Wembley.
Has anyone notified covid to only strike after 15 minutes?

Your point being what, it's all lies and a conspiracy, surely your trolling.
If you fail to comprehend my point, i suggest you are trolling.
It is a perfectly relevant to question to ask.
And the answer is of great relevance with regard to analyzing the covid outbreak lockdown procedure.

14,260 cases and 119 deaths one would hope mask wearing and personal safety along with any bias would be set aside and people would do the right thing to help us out of a potential 3 month lockdown as has been recommended.
How many, if any at of the deaths attributed to covid were given a postmortem?

For me it is just showboating and being argumentative, and putting police in a difficult place.
Don't worry, no mask will be required in your own home ever....
Stop wailing about the rules and work with them. Hopefully then the sooner it will be rescinded.
"Work with them, you are a comedian".
I can't sit with friends and chat over a cold beer, but you can sit together and share somtam. Where is the science behind that idea?
Where is the PROOF of people walking without a mask in an open space transmitting covid?
Sitting in your car and wearing a mask is so comical, nearly as comical as being told to "work with them"!

No I mean Brexit. Banks are closing UK account holders in Europe because of the extra difficulties Brexit has caused them. It may be coincidence that tsb accounts will be closed in Thailand at the same time but having an account in Thailand with them for the last 15 years I doubt it.
You presume the European banks are closing because of Brexit or know?
The UK banks can be damn difficult for sure, they were a long time before Brexit.
Lets hope it does not become the norm for expats here, it would be a headache for sure.

To quote from the letter further ''This is because we are a UK only bank and when customers move overseas the increased legal and regulatory complexity and risk means it can be difficult for a UK bank to continue providing banking services.'' It is happening in Europe as well for other banks - BREXIT.!
Brexit! Don't you mean democracy? And since when has Thailand been a part of the EU?

The bike is fine,
but AFApK the trans-Issan/trans-North Thailand, ... ,
trail network you imagine
really doesn't exist.
Please prove papa wrong.
Please.
????
I meant riding the distance is possible.
I usually ride to a city or town with good food and drink, then take days out exploring. There tracks all over the place but connecting them up would be an issue, i am sure some people find them though. ????

Do you guys think such a bike would be a feasible transportation for a back country exploration from Pattaya into Issan, to the North and then South? I'd take trails wherever possible and avoid highways.
Here is a trip i managed on my CT125
Since this trip i have off road tyres and a larger rear sprocket to help with the steep off road tracks.
I'm sure 150BF would be better off road, just find a way to attach your baggage.

It's great fun riding the trails, personally i would not want to park up and fly to another area, find a rental, repeat etc.
If you have time just ride, take your time, find trails on route when you can. Or what i try to do is ride to a place with known trails, book in for a few day, then go out riding without carrying your baggage, then move on to the next place.
I have tried this on a Rally and CT125, the CT125 was for me much more fun because it very light and a fun bike.

You seem very sure of your stance, so go argue it where it really matters. I.E. put your money where your mouth is, go to the beaches and parks in Thailand where there are restrictions, and start drinking and taking your mask off.
EDIT: better yet, find a policeman in those places, walk right up to him, and do those things
I am sure 100% beer does not spread covid more than eating Somtam. Just because a policeman may or may not arrest does not alter the fact.

You really shouldn't be debating this with me. You should go to the beach/boardwalk in Pattaya, alcoholic drink in hand, and debate this with the cop who will be coming your way.
Did you write this? "Catching Covid and drinking often go together. You get rid of one, you get rid of the other to a large degree."
You did so i was replying to statement. -

No, drink has zero to do with it. People gathered together in a confined area maybe, weather drinking, eating somtam or shopping in Central.
People walking, jogging or swimming on the beach are not a health issue at all.

Why close the beaches? The police should just do their jobs, find a group who are drinking alcohol and make them pour their drinks into the sand,
all of the drinks, even the unopened ones have to be opened and poured out, then fine the drivers 1000 baht. Have the media take lots of pictures
to shame the drinkers, and make it known that there will be no tolerance and no exceptions. Closing the beaches is just stupid, especially when the country
is supposed to be planning to re open to tourists.
Geezer
So covid only attacks drinkers, an interesting if flawed analysis.

So its groups of people they want banned. Nothing to do with location. Strange as being outside hardly anyone catches covid,
It's about control and governments around the world showing they actually have not got a clue what to do. Especially after agreeing to the WHO method of no lockdowns, then ignoring it.
But is it ok for a family to sit together and share a plate of somtam? They will never stop that.What about groups of politicians with their Johnnie Walker Blue, is that ok?

you can do 90 day reports online , in person , at any immigration office or if far to the nearest immigration then at your local police station ! just make sure to get a receipt .
Do you mean due to covid you can do at any immigration office? I thought you had to report where you are registered.

If you make a police report, they go to court with the evidence, if the evidence is enough the courts issue a warrant. The next time they go anywhere in Thailand that requires them to prove identity they ping on the computer and get arrested.
