    Yes, I suspect it's a combination of humidity and temperature.

     

    For example, do you know just how humid it is in Wuhan?

     

    Wuhan :

    Bangkok :

    Not much difference, eh. Of course the temperature is very different.

     

    Perhaps 'absolute humidity' plays a part.

     

    So I think we're looking at humidity plus temperature.

     

    Humidity plays a big part because the main transmission vector of the virus is by aerosols, not by droplets, not by touching things. Unfortunately health organizations are scared of this because they think people will also be more scared of what is essentially an airborne virus

    I made the mistake of investing in this place, I'm here but I cant leave as I cant return, so a version of events, it means I cant work or visit a family member who's ill.

    In the future when this lifts i will sell up and leave. I do actually own 100% my property it's just the markets slow right now.

     

    The problems the govt reaction on all levels, the lack of any rights for foreign people even if u r married or have children, have invested in a business that provides tech and employment, I feel this gov is more incompetent nationalistic and corrupt than others, even Thai's as shown by the demos have had enough and are saying what they think for possibly the first time, fascists usually pull the nationalistic card as a last ditch attempt to stay in the game.

     

    I do feel it's time EU/USA/UK/Japan pulled the rug from under them, this gov is looking to China as a blueprint to stay in control ad infinitum as has Cambodia and Laos. Obviously that's not in ours or most Thai's interest. We see EU and USA has taken a hard stance on Putin poisoning his enemies and a soft tack on China who have millions in the camps, so looking for moral guidance in that direction is not hopeful but unlike Russia and China, Thailand is heavily reliant on the EU thru Japan set of countries for just about everything, it's in those countries best interest to safeguard their citizens rights and also help the thais to throw off this fascist shroud.

     

    Leadership should come from the USA but they've always used Thai's fascism or ignored it, see the military govs during Vietnam war and the previous reaction to govt massacres. USA is going thru a political quagmire the last god knows how many yrs with Bush, Obama, Trump and now this election fiasco so a lack of competent leadership once again, so it looks like people must make their own minds up so when the cuffs come off IMO I think we will see westerners and their businesses leave in large numbers to be replaced by greed control IE PRC unless Thais can push the status quo out the door.

    What China’s struggles with a Thai railway say about the Belt and Road

    I would genuinely like to know what benefits you see. Many flights of 5000 baht or less and a flight time of 110 minutes are on offer already.

    I would enjoy the journey, but after the fun trip my next trips for business or holidays would be by air. Transporting goods does not need to be done by high speed trains. Many Chinese tourists have very short holidays and want to be somewhere in the quickest way i.e. fly.

    Mostly personal, love long train journeys, love Laos and South West China so all good for me and others like me.

    Thailand to make, supply AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine

    tedros has claimed that herd immunity wont happen and a yank has had a dose of covid twice so look s  like antibodies dont last long

    You cannot base that idea on a single case who tested positive twice just a month apart, meaning he likely never got rid of it. Covid19 is nothing special anti-bodies will last as long as they do for normal coronaviruses, so about a year

    High-speed railway project set to take off, EIA on rail tracks in Ayutthaya okayed

    Laos broke ground in 2013 on their portion of the railway, have bored 75 tunnels and are on target to start to open in 2021. Thailand is miles behind, and will hold up the project for years to come. The railway is supposed to go to Singapore, so the Bangkok-Padang Besar stretch has to be built as well.

     

    I don't think many of us will be alive to see it let alone use it

    The Thai people will pay heavily for this foolishness.

    It is easy to get into debt with the promise of shinny new trains, but when the bill needs paying, those who borrowed will be long gone.

    No good can come of this.

    Eventually, the debt will not be paid and a port or other asset will be handed over, its happened 100 times.

     

    Debt contrary to most opinions is how Britain expanded its empire in the 18th/19th century, China is doing the same today, but is refraining from direct control over countries, instead settling for economic control.

    So yes that is the risk, but the benefits of a regular train service between Kunming and Bangkok is quite exciting. It will still go wrong at some point though, no doubt

    On the face of it this is very good news for Thailand, but like all things in Thailand, probably not what it seems. So just where is this vaccine supposed to be made?

    There is the GPO factory in Saraburi which was planned in 2007 supposed to open in 2013, but delayed until 2017 and is capable of producing 2 million doses of vaccine per year. 

    So if that is the govt plan, then it is going to take quite a while to vaccinate even half the population.

    Wonder who will be first in line?

     

    Study shows Fah Talai Jone may kill Covid-19, but can offer no protection

    Timely. I became quite ill on Wednesday evening, with headache, fever, and nausea. No sore throat. I don't know what the problem actually was. With fever mounting continuously, by yesterday afternoon I remembered I had bought a bottle of Fah ta lai Jone capsules right before the lockdown. Took four of them after dinner and in less than 90 minutes the fever seemed to break. Took three more at bedtime last night. Woke up and no fever. Coincidence. Could be. Might be just having worked through the illness, whatever it was. Don't care. Next time, I'll take at the first sign of fever.

    I think that its where it does help, reducing fever symptoms quite quickly
