  1. And it wasn't some SMS for discount or similar, where your "friend" got a discount for sharing the phone number? Bluetooth and Wifi won't get your phone number.
  2. Numbers will spike. Mortality probably less so. Eventually everyone will catch it, and hopefully this will be over... until the next one comes around. Probably already brewing in some bat or laboratory somewhere...
  3. That's who Thailand aims for? Super wealthy, retired drug junkies? Amazing Thailand indeed...
  4. Did you do TM30 reporting for him?
  5. OK, so those testing positive no longer need to report it and can move around the rest of population without any restrictions whatsoever, as well, rather than threatening those with positive ATK tests who don't report to Health Ministry? Got my answer at the end of the linked article: Although the government has eased some of the preventive measures to help facilitate their daily lives, people must continue to take care and protect themselves strictly according to public health measures and the Covid-19 alert level. Yeah, right!
  6. Moved from 4 to 5 people in the lift at the same time. Aircons in lobby are now on, rather than opened windows and fans blowing the air away. The thermal camera station at entrance is no longer manned and most residents walk around it without checking for fever. The number of people increased in the shared facilities, but still require booking, which now moved from physical book and tickets at lobby to Urbanice app. Opening times for shared facilities extended to 6 am-10pm. Other restrictions remain. We still have 2-3 cases of COVID per day, many now allowed to quarantine in condo, but not allowed to leave room. Juristic staff will deliver mail/packages, food deliveries, etc. to room, and remove trash from in front of the room twice a day.
  7. What is PCR and how is it different from real time RT–PCR? RT–PCR is a variation of PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. The two techniques use the same process except that RT–PCR has an added step of reverse transcription of RNA to DNA, or RT, to allow for amplification. This means PCR is used for pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, that already contain DNA for amplification, while RT–PCR is used for those containing RNA that needs to be transcribed to DNA for amplification. Both techniques can be performed in ‘real time’, which means results are visible almost immediately, while when used ‘conventionally’, results are only visible at the end of the reaction. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/how-is-the-covid-19-virus-detected-using-real-time-rt-pcr Corona viruses have a single RNA, and need to be reverse transcribed first, to create a DNA needed for amplification. Hence for COVID test to have any meaning, it would need to be RT-PCR and not PCR only.
  8. I thought it usually goes the other way around? When supply goes down, the prices go up, no?
  9. I downloaded SSO Connect app, and entered my SSO number and password that was registered on their website: https://www.sso.go.th/wpr/main/login Shows menu where I can see all payments going back decades. Doesn't show the QR code like yours, though, in any of the menus. That's on iOS. Just total paid in, along with last month payment, and icons for various health services, as well as payment details page and one where you can make payment. The settings page is all inactive. Overall, a very poorly written app. Explains 2 star rating in AppStore.
