    Just a note in passing concerning the US of A,  I wonder if there is another country in the world that has become so partisan with two political parties that are constantly opposing in totally bad faith concerning 100% of what the other party said, intelligent or stupid true or false everything that the opposing party says will be denigrated and ridiculed by the members of the other one!  It makes me sad for this country which was so magnificient and that I admired for a long time but that I no longer admire because I have the impression that politically it has become stupid (sorry) I find it sad and I hope that it will be able to change sooner than later! 

    They should rename the country to "The divided states of America"

    I went to Oz in early March went to doctor for check up. Not allowed in the door unless I was wearing a mask. (Admittedly they knew I was from Thailand but were also others wearing masks locals I presume)

    I went to the doctor a few days ago to get a new prescription and nobody

    worn a mask just social distance enforced

    Correct. 

     White Cristmas13 win POTY “Smart Foreigner of Today” award.

     

    Congratulations WC13!!!

     

    European also eat raw meat. Beef Tartare very popular one. 

     

    And Japanese sashimi.

     

    thank you Dr Yong for this important research. Chinese must cooking the bar also.

     

    wear a mask, wash your hand, social distance and cook the meat.

    It is outlawed where I live

     

    Is beef tartare dangerous?
    The dish, also known as “tiger meat,” or “steak tartare,” is dangerous because it is uncooked, meaning it can still contain harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness, which are only killed by cooking ground beef to 160 degrees F. Don't become a statistic this year. Raw meat is never safe to consume

    OK, so 'widespread' rumours (I haven't heard any of them) are circulating to the effect that pigs cattle and chicken are vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus. So this genius has debunked the so-called "widespread" rumours, at the same time emphasising the need to cook all meets in order that any virus in the meat should be killed.

     

    Am I the only one that sees a contradiction in terms here? Pigs cattle and chicken are not vulnerable COVID-19, but just in case they are, please cook all the meat.

     

    Another gem.

    Tell that Thais up north and Laotians who eat Larb which includes raw meat

    The origin of the Spanish flu is contested, and very likely started in China. 

     

     

    You want cooperation yet China has been the least cooperative and least transparent throughout this whole ordeal. 

    While it's unlikely that the “Spanish Fluoriginated in Spain, scientists are still unsure of its source. France, China and Britain have all been suggested as the potential birthplace of the virus, as has the United States, where the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas on March 11, 1918

    Low population density, the threat of huge fines, lockdown, closed to foreigners, island nations...Not really to do with masks there. No need to compare Asia to Europe anyway. 

    But doctor Yinn can compere Thailand to Europe

    Would appreciate if you could you give a bit more detailed information on your exact symptoms and procedures that were done and meds etc..either here or on PM. Thanks.

    Well my symptoms were, sore feet, and muscles cramps in my legs and feet difficult to walk for

    a long distance,but as I mentioned no problems in my upper body just my legs and feet.

    I had vascular surgery done to increase the blood flow in my legs. There is 2 types of muscular

    surgery I think and I know of, create a bypass with a new artery or just get it cleaned out

    by injecting a tool(don't no the medical term) in to your artery. The surgery did not take to long

    but you can not walk for a while (maybe 3 days) But as I said I only had this problem with my

    legs because my blood flow in my upper body was normal. I am not a doctor I am just replying

    to you because I had similar symptoms. Read this

     
    What are symptoms of vascular problems?
    Symptoms
    • Painful cramping in one or both of your hips, thighs or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs (claudication)
    • Leg numbness or weakness.
    • Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side.
    • Sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't heal.

    Absolutely 100% right, I have given up arguing with all the so called self appointed experts on Thai Visa who think they know best. They cant get past their own prejudice opinion about Thailand. Some are bitter about having to go home and the rest are unhappy about being over here. I know exactly where I would rather be during this crisis and its over here. Never have I felt that the virus has taken hold in a major way in Thailand because of the heat and humidity. This together with mask wearing, Thais not being tactile people, temperature checks and hand sanitiser everywhere.

     
     
     
    What is the normal temperature of India?
    Temperatures average around 32–40 °C (90–104 °F) in most of the interior.

    I did not know you lived in Australia. Strange how things differ so much in Europe and the US things are bad. I speak often with my parents and clients and they all confirm almost no masks, no hand washing no temperature checks nothing. No wonder it goes wrong. 

     

    Strange that the no mask thing works in OZ and not in Europe. Then again how does it work in the more populated parts of your country. I mean the fact that your country has a lot of space and not many inhabitants per KM2 works in your favor of course. In the boonies of Thailand the infections are low but in BKK its higher. So that is something too.

     

    Anyway given how bad it goes in Europe and the US and the fact that they dont adhere as strictly to things as in this country i conclude its the masks and washing of hands that have an impact. Then again other things might play a role in it too.


    Where are you now in Australia or Thailand.. because if you were here you would see how disciplined that Thais are. At least in my area. Totally different form in the Netherlands for instance. 

    I am in Australia now but I lived in Thailand for many years and maybe in your area

    people behave, if you are on Facebook you will find most Thais don't follow the rules.

    I get live shows every day where Thais trowing parties and no social distance adhered.

    Yes I do follow the rules over here, I keep my distance and I have hand sanitizer i my 

    car which I use when I go shopping and I guess most Australian do the same.

    Most states easing the restrictions now. But the lock down did not affect me to much

    since I am separated from my Thai wife for 4 years now and live alone and don't go 

    out at all. So I am OK.

    Nice problem is you don't know if someone one has corvid. So using a mask is always sensible. Its just that those European and US governments did not have enough masks so they tried to find ways to get the masks they had to the people who needed it the most.

     

    Also I dont know if you noticed it but in Thailand if i enter a 711 or Makro i need to wear a mask and am directly given hand cleaning agent to clean my hands. Something Europe and the US are not doing.

     

    So yes Thailand is doing it a lot better, its time we give Thailand some credit. But the bunch of OAP's on this forum would rather die. 

     

    Does the government keep the numbers low... YES for sure. But given that there are no overflowing hospitals or shortages on intensive care beds its not as bad as in Europe or the US.

     

    Could other factors play a role.. sure, but again the measures i mentioned about masks and hand cleaning are not done in Europe but they are in Thailand.

    As you know I live in Australia and nobody wears a mask and we have hardly any active

    cases now, the only ones we have are related to cruise liners and overseas travelers.

    And most cases we have are not even Australians.
