And do you have some credible source of information about the WHO that provides any actual, factual, real-world basis for your lack of trust?

 

Absolutely, my own personal research and opinion.  I'm guessing forming one's own personal opinion is still allowed in this forum 😉

Meet the new strain. Same as the old strain 

I have zero confidence nor trust in anything WHO puts out.

I wasn't sure where specifically to post so here it goes.

A coworker suggested this app, DofuStream, to watch some US sports...the app I downloaded has access to NFL, MLB, NCAAF, NBA, NHL.

I am currently working in Japan (temporarily) and was able to watch US college football via the app.  The Google Play store has different options for Dofu but the icon I downloaded looks like this 

No VPN needed.  

~ 25 comments so far and not one mention saying it's Trump's fault....has to be a record for AN.

Hi, I tried doing this today but the instructions contradict each other. It says you must enter your name as in the ICAO line in your passport. In the passport it is surname first followed by first name. However in the application itself it says first name then last name. So I tried it the first way with the ICAO line. I went to payment and my payment was rejected. Do you recall how you entered your name on the actual application? It just contradicts itself? Thanks.

Another thing, you didn't specify what country your passport is from but check the website to determine what is required for your country.

I recall entering First, middle, last name on the application. What payment method did you use?  I used Payoo and was approved the same day.  Not sure if it was the issue but if you entered Last name then first name, I'm guessing your application didn't match your name of your credit card?  Maybe try paying again or use another method to pay.  Good luck

Not everyone will be able to register on that site.

It requires an identity check that refers to a US credit report.

I set up an account for my Thai wife using the login.gov link and it didn't ask me anything about a US credit report.

This is the link I used for the wife and I.  Of course she has a Thai passport so she didn't need a visa.

Careful because many links will say "evisa" but they will charge you to do what you can easily do on your own.

It's not me, it's a Thai friend who worked in the US for about 12 years, paid into SS, now living back in Thailand but is turning 62 and wants to collect his SS.  I am recommending he go to the US Embassy and talk to a Social Security Advisor, if there is one.  Thanks.  

I would suggest the first step is to have your friend go to https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/.  Have them register for an account to verify they have at least 40 credits.  Not saying it's the case with your friend, but my wife had a friend who discovered she is not eligible for SS because most of her working years, she was being paid under the table so she won't qualify.  Good luck.

Not endorsing this website since I have never used them. I did a quick web search and found this link.  Hope it can be of some help to your situation.

Ah, NY Times...such a credible source ????

The wife and I visited Da Nang back in October.  I used the ATM (with US debit card) without any issues.  Advise to make a conversion cheat sheet because you will have a few million viet dong in your wallet and the mental math drove me crazy.  Current exchange is approx 23600 to $1.  If I recall correctly, some vendors will drop the last three zeros when giving you the price.  I thought the prices for food, beer, tours were reasonably cheap...even at our hotel lounge.  IMO, a must see when visiting Da Nang is the Ba Na Hills (suggest a Google search).  I'm sure your hotel Guest Relations person can arrange everything to include a driver.  It's an all day trip and you will do plenty of walking once you get to the top (you take a long cable car ride to the top of the mountain).  Again, the prices for food and drinks were quiet cheap inside the park.  Although our hotel advise against it, we ate seafood platter at the night market (the tail end of the Dragon Bridge)...lobsters, shellfish, etc and 4 beers for about $35 .  We didn't have any issues (we often eat street food in Chiang Mai) but if you have a sensitive digestion system, you may reconsider. Good luck and safe travels

They should appoint Anutin...he's adept at inflating numbers. Under his tutelage,  I'm sure he will announce 1200 more psychiatrists by June of 2023.

Riding on the back of a motorbike always feels weird to me as a man. I’m basically grinding the guy and am usually afraid of getting wood and how awkward that may feel for the both of us.

Hopefully you "reach your destination" and give the grindee of your woodwork a decent tip. 

check Agoda (dot) com.  You can choose your preferences (i.e. gym, pool, max price, location, etc).

Suggest Dr. Jirayu Reungyos at Chiang Mai Ram Hospital.
