    I think you need to study up on what defines alcoholism and alcohol dependency. It's not black and white. Knew a brain surgeon who would have one shot of vodka every morning. That was it for the day. Had to have that shot though. 

    This could have been to reduce the shakes (not to be confused with Parkinson). One shot and the shakes go away. It is not alcohol dependency either. More like medication.

    China got a good look at what happens, figured out roughly which parts of the population would die, and decided that, on balance, they were okay with that.

    This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for China. America boomed in the 50's and 60's because they were the only advanced nation whose infrastructure had not been decimated during the war, making them the workshop of the world. China will now be the only country that can return to full production. The Western powers might want to but, because they are supposedly democracies, they cannot get the bodies past their citizens.

    So, until an effective vaccine can be mass produced and distributed to everyone, the West will remain paralyzed and China will manufacture their way to world dominance 20 or 30 years earlier than expected.


     

    Manufacture what to world dominance? There are no customers.

    In the Philippines Almost every security guard is packing at least a shotgun, and often much more.

    When you got to convenience store there, you always see armed guard(s) in the front of the stores.

     

    Seems to work well there, armed robberies are fairly rare.

    Exactly. I have not been in a few years but that's how it is. Nobody on an unlicensed motorbike with helmet on walks in. 

  4. The Problem is that I witnessed that some Thais (low income or non-VIP) with symptoms are not tested. They are sent home with a bag of pills and a Viral Pneumonia diagnostic. Then they are told to stay home for 14 days. No further action or follow up. How many stay home for two weeks. Maybe this is changing but it's too late. 

     

    They need to trace all those confirmed. Temperature testers are partially adequate but miss most carriers.

    It's a real show today.

     

    Big increases :

    - 20 new cases in South Korea (51 total)
    - 10 new cases in Japan (84 total)

     

    Those 2 countries along with Singapore are the real acid test.

     

    Because more developped than Thailand... And a little more serious about things....

     

    Especially Tokyo, because it has exactly the same weather than Wuhan.

    And pressure is huge with the Olympic games.

     

    Furthermore, but it's just a feeling, japanese like hygiene. And this virus must annoy/disturb them big times (more than the radioactive fumes from Fukushima....)

     

    Singapore is tropical. So there is still the idea of weather (warm) that could weaken the virus.

     

    -79 news cases on the ship... total 624.. At this stage, the whole thing is just grotesque... Let's say that all the 3700 passengers are infected.

    This idea of "quarantine" on a big ship... is just a disaster.

     

    Singapore + 3

    HK + 1

     

    Even... Iran has... 2 cases.

     

    But Thailand sou sou... 35. Since 2 days.

     

    The thing is... The official is right : "we don't hide new cases".

     

    They just do not look for them !

    ????

     

    Classic thai (white) lie.

     

    Anyway... In 2 weeks we will know for sure. If the exponential line continues... 

    Yep, with the food festival going on in Phuket town we should have a good idea if Thais are immune.
