When will this list of low risk countries be revealed? Aside from the paymaster generals China.

Strange how in China aside from Public holidays the minimum annual leave entitlement is only 5 days, so how and why are these Chinese coming here? Nothing to do with tourism thats a fact.

So as we understand that during the 14 days quarantine there will be guard positioned thought out the hotel and outside the hotel to prevent them " tourists" from wondering off and mingling among themselves? and them tourists actually signed up for that and paid money?...

Quarantine for the millionaires will no doubt be in high end luxury villas with a steady stream appointments being set up with real estate agents to snap up all the land and property that is going for a fraction of the price. This is sickening and all being allowed by corrupt officials.

Disgusting, some secret deals obviously being done here between Thai officials and these Chinese wealthy. Land and property prices are now easy pickings for this crowd. Not only have they unleashed this devastating virus they are now beginning to cash in on the suffering of those who have fallen victim to their virus, while the Thai officials sit back and take their cut.

Promising, some way to go for clinical studies but anything like this that has potential, should be explored, especially as its from a world renowned institution.

The photographs were published on an English-language website called The Land Destroyer Report, which poses as a news outlet to disseminate stories alleging US influence in Thailand. The stories are regularly cited by right-wing Thai media to support their claims of “foreign meddling” in Thailand’s affairs.

The Land Destroyer Report and AltRightNews are Russian funded propaganda sites overflowing with fake news and blatant lies, unfortunately they are still getting the attention they crave from Thai Ultra Right movements. all as planned.

Pointless comment. This guy has a job. It is those rendered unemployed by Covid who cannot pay for food, mortgages, other domestic loans, meds for the elderly, costs associated with school for the kids etc.

So why make a pointless response

New infections of coronavirus in the UK are now growing as fast as they were at the beginning of April, according to Telegraphanalysis.

After a spate of continuous decline in May and June, new cases of coronavirus began to tick up again in July - around when pubs and restaurants re-opened on so-called 'Super Saturday' on the 4th.

Unless you're trying to live in a bubble like Thailand and have your economy and peoples lives wrecked (20% increase in suicide in Thailand in the lockdown period) then the only way is to gradually open up and manage the risk. Developed countries have the ability to cope without overflowing hospitals now, new treatments together with a host of other factors mean death rates are now nowhere near the early stages of this pandemic.

September 13, 2020

Lets face it, nobody wants to go to a government hospital for 2 weeks minimum in quarantine if you test positive and have little symptoms. Its a strong incentive to not get a test and just hope you'll be ok if you think you have it. Self medicate unless you get severe symptoms.

September 13, 2020

Great news, can do no more than keep fingers crossed now.

Good news, trials back on.

Oxford University and AstraZeneca are resuming their mass coronavirus vaccine trial in the UK after a review concluded following a week long pause over safety concerns.

There have been a few documented cases of a far longer incubation period than 14 days in some other countries so its possible he did bring it over with him, seeing as out of over 1000 players and staff tested that he was the only one testing positive then this seems likely to me but obviously its possible he caught it here to.

The Public Health Ministry is holding a press briefing at 5pm today regards a Thai league footballer with Covid 19.

This has just been announced.

Having read up on it a bit, I do find this a little worrying. Transverse Myelitis has been associated with vaccines before although its rare it does appear to be an underlying problem for vaccine developers. Discovering what caused Transverse Myelitis is a complex procedure that needs to eliminate many other possible disorders that could cause it.

The Astrazenca/Oxford vaccine is to be delivered via nasal spray rather than syringe. Coincidentally there is another nasal spray vaccine that caused the same problems:

August 2010

Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis Following Vaccination With Nasal Attenuated Novel Influenza A(H1N1) Vaccine https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/800879

Here's a few other snippets of information on Transverse Myelitis:

Causes of transverse myelitis include infections, immune system disorders, and other disorders that may damage or destroy myelin, the fatty white insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers.

There is no cure for transverse myelitis. Treatments to prevent or minimize permanent neurological deficits include corticosteroid and other medications that suppress the immune system, plasmapheresis (removal of proteins from the blood), or antiviral medications.

Transverse myelitis is often a onetime illness. But for some people, transverse myelitis is an early symptom of another serious disease of the nervous system. One such disease is multiple sclerosis (MS).

What is the prognosis? Most people with transverse myelitis have at least partial recovery, with most recovery taking place within the first 3 months after the attack. For some people, recovery may continue for up to 2 years (and in some cases, longer).

He's making his first address, tweeted just now by WHO Thailand

"While we are waiting for the vaccine we must keep out guard high and gradually re-open our economies." - Anutin Charnvirakul, Minister of Public Health, Thailand

Sickening is the only word I have for his appointment.

Study? You mean google sites that agree with my viewpoint so I can come back here and spout the nonsense I found?

The Flu virus is given to at-risk groups, not everyone - because while everyone can get flu, they are not really at risk.

Spanish Flu was much worse than COVID, yet it came and went, just as this will.

Descendants of the 1918 influenza virus still circulate today, and current seasonal influenza vaccines provide some protection against the 1918 virus.

AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine trial ON HOLD after adverse reaction of UK participant

https://www.rt.com/news/500207-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-hold/

Out of all the dozens of international media outlets that are running this today, you had to link to the Russia Today website

Seeing as this occurred in a patient in the UK here's a UK press report https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/astrazeneca-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-pause-hold-b420761.html

BBC also reported that the pause will probably only be for a few days.

September 9, 2020

This is actually the second pause of human trials on this vaccine, the first one was due to a patients illness but after investigation it was ruled unrelated to the vaccine. This case is again a single case from 1000's and the pause is described as an abundance of caution. It also proves that the trials data monitoring of patients is doing its job well.

Interesting article. However, it doesn't particularly support your claim about who financed his campaign.

I never actually pointed out who I suspect the other donors were apart from the stated African countries as I have no idea, may be you're referring to a separate post?

"Six members of the man’s family were tested with five found to have traces of the virus. A total of 156 people who came into contact with the individual during his visit to the Criminal Court are to be observed for a total of 14 days despite testing negative to infection."

This means he probably got it from one of his family members

Possible but of course he could also have been the one infected first at one of the clubs he works at then passed it on to his family?
