Fitter bar girls will get you off to a good start!

China already know the source of the virus, but will never acknowledge it. Better to leave the matter open and use conspiracy theories to deflect from the fact they were stocking up on supplies before they told the world about human to human transmission and allowed a third of Wuhan to escape and infect the world so they would not be the only ones to suffer. 

As the virus can only survive on a live host the obvious cure is suicide. I’m surprised the stable genius hasn’t put that out there?

A huge mistake to take photos of yourself in flagrante delicto ... unless of course you are Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, in which case they can be career enhancing! 

The particular setup shown here is well meaning but basically pointless, because if they are serving infected diners they will be passing it on to everyone that surrounds them. Best avoid restaurants until this episode passes, and stick to takeaway.

My niece in the UK works in the NHS as a pathologist, her job is to do the blood tests. Even SHE admits that she is NOT testing anyone for Covid-19. In fact she has been told she is NOT EVER going to be testing for Covid-19... IN FACT she doesn't even have the profile for Covid-19 and doubts that one even exists.

 

So what do you think of that?... She is a LIAR perhaps?

 

She even says that most people tested will provide a sample that will be positive for a coronavirus.... Bwahahahahaha

 

You lot are suckers.

How do you explain the slaughter in care homes? How does your niece? Is there an assassination squad paying them all a visit? 

The 1918 pandemic was also “only a flu” but it managed to kill millions of people between 18-30 years old. Many experienced doctors had never seen anything that could inflict such damage on the body. But it was, actually, only the flu.

I was unlucky enough to catch the Aussie flu that was kicking around just over two years ago. The symptoms started showing on the morning that I begun my journey to Thailand via the UK. By the time I arrived I was wrecked, and for days I couldn’t sleep for choking on my own phlegm. That was the first time I realised the flu can kill you. And I’m an avid gym goer and runner. It took around a month to clear my system.

Some flus are deadly ... and this one is worse than any we have seen.

Another point. The world is in lockdown. It’s not open. So you simply can’t compare the figures now to the common flu ... which circulates in an open society. The figures are low because of the lockdown. 

Pretty shocking ... I’ve met quite a lot of decent expats in Pattaya, but unfortunately it also attracts an assortment of scumbags.

This is incredibly sad to see. I’ve just read in the Guardian that London has a new tribe of people living on the streets ... workers from restaurants, cafes, cleaners who have all lost their jobs and have been turned out if shared accommodation. What’s happening in Thailand is tragic. 
 

My personal view is that we are reaching the point where the economy has to open up, and those who are in risk groups for the virus have to self isolate ... we will never achieve herd immunity if everyone is in isolation, so the young and fit need to acquire the virus, get through it, and make it safer for the rest of society. We have to accept that there will be a second wave or more but just deal with it without lockdown. There are no solutions to this crisis that doesn’t involve pain. 

If you like the city and spend the bulk of your time outside ... gym, coffee shops, restaurants, malls, etc then a condo is fine ... it’s a place to sleep, it’s secure, and it’s easily maintained. 
 

I like the countryside but I’d get bored in the sticks if I had to stay there too long, and a house is less secure if you travel regularly.

On balance, a house in my own country, but a condo in the Far East, where you have zero ownership rights.

Once this thing is passed it will be forgotten about and people will be back to their normal habits ... robotics, more online etc are already established trends. But we’re in for a terrible world economy for longer than people realise, whatever the Fed does. 

Same thing happened in 1918, the places that opened up suffered the most deaths.

Given that the obese are vulnerable let’s hope Oklahoma denizens are slim, fit, young, and diabetes free. Otherwise they’ll be clogging up the intensive care units.
 

I’m sympathetic to wanting to open up the economy but you need a plan in place to test and isolate to keep the numbers down. I guess Brian Kemp knows what he’s doing? Not.
