Common Side Effects from Moderna Vaccine.

The most commonly reported side effects, which typically lasted several days, were pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes in the same arm as the injection, nausea and vomiting, and fever. Of note, more people experienced these side effects after the second dose than after the first dose, so it is important for vaccination providers and recipients to expect that there may be some side effects after either dose, but even more so after the second dose.

This info is from the US FDA .

I had no reaction to the first shot. But I did have an elevated temp for a few hours and my lower back bothered me for nearly a day. That being said the "experts" are saying that those with the strongest reactions are those that have the strongest initial immune system. The logic is that the immune system is fighting the vaccine that it perceives as the virus building the needed antibodies. If you have COVID near you...get the shots if you can.

The official daily new case count is certainly going in the right direction.

And the unofficial case count is? More importantly what's the real trend?  I'm not comfortable with any of the numbers being accurate that I am seeing.

At least they are doing something. Europe and the States waited to react and still haven't figured it out yet. 

Since the cause of this fluctuation isn't permanent you can expect dramatic movement (as dramatic as it gets when dealing with currencies) swings as economies shrink and bounce back.

Wouldn't be easier to suspend everyone and start again?

It would sure save a lot of time. But then what to do with those who replace the current rascals?

Yep, tourist are flocking to Pattaya for all the opportunities to observe the wonderful nature and cultural aspects of the area. All is well.

Police enforcing the law on the super rich....kinda like the fox guarding the chicken coup!

maybe less corruption & extortion

Oh, I bet you'll still be handing over cash if you look like you have a little more than they feel you should. After all that is a serious crime that needs attention from those charged with upholding the law! No other crime required to receive your fair share of abuse.

Two evils...pick one! Both corrupt. 

Well...they wanted to be known for something besides prostitution. Sounds like they found the silver bullet.

Seems like there may be bigger problems regarding the core issue than just the spelling. The word on the Worlds Sex Capital is out and it isn't changing!

Korean craftsmanship...I wouldn't want to be in that cockpit! 

So rather than investigating and dramatically (possibly) starting to improve the image of the police they very publicly demonstrate that if you don't play along you will be punished. Another black mark on a very dark surface.

Oh Big Brother, what big teeth you have! Government can't monitor what they can't see...better get everyone on line as soon as possible! 

Maybe actions will speak louder than indoctrination. Show the care for the country and its people and a stronger more favorable response will be forthcoming. Show a stronger concern for power and wealth through corrupt and shady actions and people will respond by rejecting the military and those who oversee the country. Thai's may be somewhat apathetic and more concerned with their own daily lives than the bigger national picture...but they are not stupid. 

Glad to see this. How Thailand runs their country is only Thailand's business and the U.S. will never fully understand all of the factors that shape Thailand"s political environment. If an improved relationship will benefit both parties it surely should be cultivated. In this case it appears that both parties have something to offer each in several types of partnerships. 

No problem...just increase taxes!

Must have picked the location so there was plenty of sand in which to bury their heads!

Does it seem like taxes are being placed on everything? Even breathing may be taxed next. Must be warming up to but another sub?

Thailand is a beautiful place for filming but the constant money grab and old boy networks will make the probability of keeping cost in line will be low enough that film makers will avoid coming here to film. Until the root of the problem is solved bringing in foreign industry will be a challenge. Low wages are more than offset by other "expenses".

She has had 5000 opportunities but not converted one prospect to marriage

 

Me thinks she needs the coaching

Not so sure she wants to be married. Just access to the cash! A new form of prostitution. Probably getting old, losing her looks, so now she needs to leverage her ass(etts) by giving classes (for pay) on how to be a high end call girl.

How else can the submarine be protected? 

His mistake was to steal from Thais as well as foreigners. Otherwise his actions would probably been ignored as foreigners could only apply limited pressure on a lethargic police force (unless of course the price was right).

Not sure if the low visibility of the police is abad or good thing. When they become visible it is usually to abuse those they are supposed to be there to protect.

Well....I guess there is no aspect of living our lives that the government shouldn't be intimately involved in. After all we are all ignorant beast that can't make an intelligent decision or control our animalistic instincts.
