Thai Government Sets up New Department to Battle Climate Change
nobodysfriend replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes , the regular bla bla is always very reassuring ... Much too late . Let's face it : Climate is rapidly changing . ( Just ignore the deniers , it's a fact ) . To save it , radical change needs to be done now ! Politicians all over the world are unable and/or unwilling to do that . Consequences ? Accelerating a unavoidable dystopian future . 2050 ? That is 28 yrs in the future . What will happen by then , nobody knows . But it will be too late . -

Time for Immigration to create a new easy visa to attract those ' stay all winter ' long term tourists then . A 6 month stay without paperwork , just a criminal background check would certainly facilitate their decision to stay ( and spend ...) 6 winter month here .- 44 replies

Health Ministry Highlights Medical Tourism Potential
nobodysfriend replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes , medical treatment in a quality hospital in Thailand is expensive . That says it all ... strengthen the national economy ... I went to BKK Hospital for a minor health problem , consulted a doctor who told me that he will need to do an operation on me urgently . I refused , I know that they need to make money for the hospital and they do not really care for the patient's well being ... Took some pills from a Pharmacy , everything was ok again within a few days ... With an ( unnecessary ) operation , there might have been complications and more problems coming up ... I understand , they need to make money , but that is no way ... -
----> " Viral ends up being the written equivalent of a Rorschach test: you can read into it what you like. Those inclined to conspiracy theories will find plenty to say “told you so”. If, like me, you are on the fence, you will likely stay there. And those who disavow the lab leak scenario might judge the book one big nothing-burger that fails to convince " ...---< I read this interesting review of the book , but , of course , there was no evidence delivered for neither theory .

The authors of the interim report do not claim to have definitively solved the mystery of COVID-19’s origin. “The lack of transparency from government and public health officials in the [People’s Republic of China] with respect to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 prevents reaching a more definitive conclusion,” <--- Again , no evidence ... only conclusions ... Anyway , there won't be any hard evidence that comes to light after 3 yrs have passed .... Believe what you want . The conclusions of the zoonotic transmission would be that harmful , potentially deadly viruses that are present in some wild animals can become a threat to humanity by transmission to humans .

https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/origins-of-sars-cov-2 There has been a lot of evidence up to this point that the seafood market [in Wuhan] was the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2, but these recent reports are the death knell for any alternative theories. The reason why people thought that it wasn’t the market was because the Wuhan Virology Institute—a laboratory where scientists study coronaviruses—is in the same city. People thought that it came from [that] lab. But the evidence shows that the market was definitely the culprit, just as in 2003, when a live animal market led to the emergence of SARS—a smaller pandemic, but nonetheless very concerning.
