It looks like there is a roof terrace one floor below the balcony.

 

 

We don't know what happened- but some basic reasoning can glean that if he were set on murdering her, she'd have gone over the other railing. It's his home- he knows which railing drops 7 floors vs 1.

Interestingly, in all the "suicides" over the years, the Thai suicide helpers have never once made such a mistake...

Please enlighten me: how do you know, you were right?

Thailand has totally insuficient test results!

The numbers make no sense and if you were as clever as you pretend to be, you should know it!

Well, if this virus were even a fraction of what people like you make it out to be, the hospital beds would be full and the death toll exponentially higher.

Ya know, you're actually allowed to use your own brain to employ some deductive reasoning. Everything you think doesn't have to come from propaganda- though that's clearly your default setting, and the toggle switch has gone missing.

succinctly dead on.

Of course, implicit in your response is the fact that their version of history is revisionist history.

She should have told him: I love you and I don't care about money or diamonds.

Come to Thailand and visit me.

 

Or is it possible that money was more important to her than the love of her life?

Cynic!

I sounds like a lovely love story.

These conmen are usually Thai women paired up with farang counterparts.

So a Thai woman conned another Thai. Lol

For your sake, I hope this is sarcasm.

hint: "usually... paired up with farang", ahhhh, no. This is clearly a Nigerian operation to anyone paying attention for the past 15+ years...

Even if this has been pointed out to you before and you are just living up to your username: car accidents, chocking on food, being shot in the face and drowning in your swimming pool are NOT CONTAGIOUS!

See the difference and why your post makes 0,0% sense?

In a 6 year study (the most comprehensive I could find that didn't include pneumonia from other causes), seasonal flu deaths in Thailand averaged 2708 per year. That's 226 per month.

Based upon your logic, because of this CONTAGIOUS disease, Thailand should be locked down pretty much 24/7/365. Right?!!?!?

Or does that lock down only apply when your handlers convince you that it's a pandemic and you need autocrats to protect you and direct every aspect of life?

But, yeah, it's me who makes 0% sense...

Please! Extend it.  Hopefully when the Thai economy totally implodes it drags the THB down with it.

Finally something I can get behind!

You mean research from inforwars.com? Seems like the site where you most likely get your news since you won't believe anything from the "authority" figures that I supposedly worship.

 

BTW, congrats on your 10th post ????

 

I anoint you king of the non-answers.

Well done.

There were plenty of tourists arriving in the first half of March, many taking advantage of cheap flights and packages from Europe and Russians who already had bookings were reluctant to cancel.

 

Nothing to dispute in these figures.

Spoken by someone who apparently was not staying in a hotel anywhere in Thailand during said period.

I was (been in many Thai hotels every day since 02 January--- well, except for my 1 day VR to Laos).  The only thing propping them up at that time were the Chinese who refused to go back to China. The only actual arrivals were refugees from hotels that were closed (this has actually provided some very favourable hotel arbitrage opportunities for those stuck here).

That arrivals # is pure fantasy produced from a particular orifice that also, depending on the day, expels something that either ends up in the loo or in a policy/press release.

So what have you done to help others less fortunate than you?

Instead of mocking me, get up off your a++e and do something.

woosh.

Now heres a thought, what about all members on here now they are saving money not buying beer, dipping their pockets, and giving some poor Thai people a bit of food, you know just like the Thai man did for farangs.

I did that, milled about 12-14 kilos of rice, wife handed out to a few poor people.

Come on you lot, get up of your backsides and do your bit, help poor folk.

Virtue signalling at its finest.

Everyone who does something kind doesn't feel the need to post about it. It's what you do when nobody's looking that really defines one's character- something that's completely lost in the narcissistic world of today.

Love the range of those kilo's of rice. Personally, I'd have gone with a narrower range- a 2 kilo difference seems rather wide...

the thread title is the title of the paper.

 

The study's actual conclusion was:

 

"In summary, despite a reported antiviral activity of chloroquine against COVID-19 in vitro, we
found no evidence of a strong antiviral activity or clinical benefit of the combination of
hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of our hospitalized patients with
severe COVID-19. Ongoing randomized clinical trials with hydroxychloroquine should provide
a definitive answer regarding the alleged efficacy of this combination and will assess its safety."

 

(bold is mine).

 

All the studies to date have been very small and lacked a control group. The evidence so far is at best very mixed but proper studies are underway which will give a clear answer.

 

It is certainly premature at best (and dangerously inaccurate at worst) to advertise or promote this as a treatment now.

Sincere question for you...

Given the dearth of alternate therapies, and given the decades of low risk profile of both drugs... if you were in a higher risk group (older, underlying conditions, etc) AND you were positive for the coronavirus, would you not take it?

From my reading, if you are in the group that decline quickly, waiting is (literally) a deadly choice. Alternatively, taking these 2 drugs is decidedly NOT a deadly choice. Several treating doctors have noted the the efficacy of the drug combo is much greater with early treatment. Anecdotal, sure. But time isn't on your side to wait for trials if you're in the situation I've laid out.

I genuinely cannot see where, confronted with such a reality, the phrase "what have you got to lose" is incorrect or reckless.

If the 2 drugs were very dangerous... ok, there is at least an argument. But we're talking about drugs with decades of use by billions of people. When there is no known cure and you're in a high risk group, it seems the decision to withhold (or even advise against their use) is irresponsible.
