    Cambodia & Phillipines started their rollout back in February, each with a donation of 600K doses from China.

    Indonesia and Laos are also getting large consignments from China.

    Thailand is not a lot different from their neighbours.

     

    They are in one way - Laos and Cambodia don't restrict foreign residents from getting the vaccine and provide it to them for free!

    How's that workin' out for ya?

    IMO they would be questioning our sanity on other grounds, long before they got to golf. They'd probably start with churches, mosques and synagogues.

    I presume they'd find it quaint and charming, similar to the way we find what children say so cute. "Oh look! They think they're the centre of the universe! Get a load of these creation myths, that's the best they could come up with? 555555!"

  3. As to the original post dilemma, I'd do the following:

    1. Explain COVID transmission by using the glitter analogy (if you have a kids party with glitter, how many adults at the party will end up with glitter on them?).
    2. Explain the likely impact of COVID on your Father-in-law and on herself if that comes to pass.

    3. As her if she understands that she is putting her Father in a situation of potential life risk and what she intends to do to prevent herself getting COVID and passing it on to him?

     

    Her answers will let you know if it's time for a new GF. Anyone willing to put their father at risk due to their selfish behaviour is not worth having as a partner because they don't care about others.

    Well JCauto, if you believe the numbers in Thailand, or Laos or actually anywhere in Asia,  well good luck to you.

      Thats all I can say, as I guess I am just not very naive.

    Geezer

     

    Yes, that's completely logical.

    "I don't believe anything from the government or anyone else despite those people sheeple being in jobs specifically to do this. I don't believe that trained professionals would simply report what they find, I think they're more likely to just make stuff up because, you know, that's how public health officials work and keep their positions for long careers - you'll find a dart board hidden behind every calendar in their offices. Therefore, I'm very clever because I can imagine myself knowing so much more from my seat on my morning throne, whereas you are naive."

    It is suppression of free speech and has been occurring all over the world with regards to reporting on Covid and criticism or open debate that questions the prevailing narrative from WHO and governments.

     

    There is a world of difference between fake news (stuff that's just made up without any grounding in fact) and a counter argument (views expressed on the basis of real data and experience that question another point of view), yet the latter is being brutally suppressed.

     

    I believe that open debate should be allowed and encouraged. The admonition to trust only the views presented by proponents of one course of action is both undemocratic and unscientific.

     

    Governments and agents of suppression will do well to remember that tuning out opposing viewpoints doesn't make them go away.

    Yes, we've gained SO MUCH from the uninformed whom you're inviting to the debate on an equal footing with experts. Examples abound...hydrochloroquine, masking up to protect others is the death of freedumb...what do you think about the credible reports that much of the anti-expert opinion has been generated by the Russians and Chinese as a means of destabilizing the Western countries who oppose them? Let 'em join the debate even though we know they're only interested in causing chaos?

    No, I've had a gutful of "debate" with internet experts. They bring nothing - NOTHING! - to the table and have no real interest in anything but gaining attention and being seen as "edgy". Tell me one thing - just one thing - that a non-expert has done to help the response to COVID.

    At least 10 killed so far (https://www.yahoo.com/news/police-boulder-colorado-respond-reports-215736342.html). 

    Of course we all want to know the motive.  But even more importantly in this day and age, what was the race of the killer. 

    This may have an impact on the outrage from certain quarters. 

    To be fair, I didn't know the race of the killer until it was reported that he was in handcuffs being led away by police. Then I knew he was a White male. Bad day?
