have just returned from Big C, around 25% of Thai shoppers were not wearing masks inside the store. Of the remaining 75% a large number were wearing masks incorrectly, ie. providing hammocks for slack jaws!

Really.  What province?  Big C Lamphun is about 98% mask compliant.

There are serious doubts about efficacy of face masks and concerns of negative effects

The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

@Surelynot  Do  you know where I can get one of those?

There are other interviews with Fauci where he states that mask are useless against viruses, but this one also tells a little bit

Sweden has tried it for 13 months, had the highest death numbers in the world per 100,000 inhabitants

As Sweden is mentioned repeatedly I'll post this. No opinion, no conclusion, just data

Preliminary population statistics for Sweden

Why is everything on halt and without change since one week or so??

Boring speech but interesting content. And I like Klaus Schwab talking like "The Nazi" in an old movie

BTW do you remember the guys here in Thailand (80's) trying to sell "precious stones" on the beach? They did all kind of tests (fire, clapping pieces of wood together..etc) to proof the quality of their "jewels". Liked to watch it, didn't buy it

that will tell if a person has a viral load or not

depending on how many circles you run the test and it does not say anything about if a person gets sick or can pass on the virus.

Therefore the link to WHO

Talking about Thailand only:

There is an overall mortality of 0,00012% of the population (from the virus), a total infection rate of 0,04% and a mortality rate of 0,32% within this group

I, personally, can't see any reason for Thailand to shut down its economy and ruin the people

Up to you

Another interesting read

https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05

My point is that a PCR test is not made for detecting a real "infection".  But even thoug the world is closing down on basis of number of "infections"

I see you just picked out part of the article to try and make a point, but it would behoove you to read the whole article to obtain the main points of the peer review journals factual scientific points.

Thailand reports 172 new COVID-19 infections

However, for public health measures, another approach is needed. Testing to help slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 asks not whether someone has RNA in their nose from earlier infection, but whether they are infectious today. It is a net loss to the health, social, and economic wellbeing of communities if post-infectious individuals test positive and isolate for 10 days. In our view, current PCR testing is therefore not the appropriate gold standard for evaluating a SARS-CoV-2 public health test.

It certainly is possible to buy 999.9 Fine Silver bullion bars here in Thailand, been doing it for years, I also buy 24k gold (99.9% purity) from the same dealer. They are an Assay, who assess the purity of metals for the market, they have been in business for years and are trustworthy when it comes to purchase and sale of metals. I'm not on a commission with these guys, just my personal experience.

Hey DeepSea,

thanks for that. I live on Koh Phangan and we only have 4 or 5 gold dealers here. Not each of them is selling bars of any kind.

Silver they don't like. Could have bought Gold 24k (a bit more complicated...here), but decided to go with Thai Gold as it's easy to sell everywhere

Good luck

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me....tinfoil hatters

Next

Samui 500, but you can have as many as you want for that

Just an idea (I've seen that you know about silver in TH)

If you find a place where jewellers (silver smiths) buy their raw material? You would have to go down to 925 Sterling probably.

I did the same with Gold bars (965) as they are always traded at material value. (in this occasion I got aware of TH and silver)
