  1. You said it was false. You prove it. As said, I would not trust anything the Chinese said. The very fact you have a nation reporting it has the same level of Covid infections per million as the remote Marshall and Soloman Islands is testimony to how specious their numbers are.
  2. Nope you are right, and I have no reports of any in North Korea either. I have read reports of dramatic multi million decreases in cell phone accounts in China but I am sure it was just people who had 2 or 3 phones and were reducing the amount of cell phone accounts they have. But I am sure those reports are not nearly as accurate as the official Chinese figures that have its rate of Covid lower than the Marshall Islands. Truly an amazing feat for a country that has the vaccine reported to be the least effective and 10 cites with populations in excess of 10 million people. Are you interested in any bridges. I have several in New York, San Francisco, and London for sale.
  3. LOL and do you have any evidence to contradict that. No I thought not. Let see, these were the same people who told the world that human to human transmission of the virus was not possible. I believe the "official" Chinese figures about as much as I trust those emails from the Nigerian Prince telling me I have inherited a fortune. I put those with North Korea who announced that it has zero Covid cases. Now if you really believe that the China figures a nation of over 1 billion people with crowded cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongging all with more that 25 million people and somehow despite having the world least effective vaccine has a Covid infection rate lower than the Marshall islands. I can see why you would trust their figures out of Wuhan.
  4. I wonder if there were scientists back in 1984 that predicted a cure for HIV also? That is 37 years ago and still no vaccine to prevent it, nor medicine to cure it. The CDC announced the major routes of transmission for HIV in 1984. The cause of the virus was identified the following year. By 1996, a “cocktail” of drugs that halted the progression of the HIV virus before it developed into AIDS was being used to treat patients. These antiretrovirals prolong life, but they are not a cure.
  5. Have you considered social distancing when sharing the toilet?
  6. Now lets see, the businesses are suffering and failing because they are closed or severely impacted by Covid and the answer is to relax credit standards and guarantee more money. How about getting some vaccines, inoculating the people and let these businesses start to earn a living again?
  7. Ah thank you. Perhaps that is what he was muttering about not having a valid passport. I know I told him that I have an old passport with a 10 year visa stamped in it for China. Two years ago they merely asked me to show the old passport with the visa along with my current one.
  8. I have a neighbor from Belgium who tends to get things mixed up and is a bit paranoid about everything dealing with immigration. He just returned from Belgium and while there got a new passport. He has an O=A Visa from Belgium. He was under the impression he needed to get the O-A Visa transferred to his new passport. He went to Jomtien immigration and they told him he needed to go to the Belgium Embassy in Bangkok to transfer. They of course are closed due to Covid. He mailed his new passport to them and supposedly they transferred it to the new passport. I found this strange since I would think it would be the Thai government that would be issuing the visa. Anyway they sent him some official paper regarding the transfer via email He went to Jomtien immigration to "register" his new passport number. At first they were reluctant to accept it due to the paper being a copy. Maybe just me, but I think he went through a lot of effort with no real purpose. I would think that the visa in his old passport still would apply and he would just apply for another extension in November when his current one expires showing both his old passport with the visa and his new one. Am I correct?
  9. That is so very true. I have a friend who contracted Covid. She said she was very tired and vomited repeatedly for two weeks. Never lost her sense of smell or taste.
  10. What is a Wuhan style lockdown. Announcing that you have contained the Covid 19 and misrepresenting how many people were actually infected?
  11. Did anyone ever read the warning labels on drugs even over the counter ones. This is a vaccine and vaccine often have side effects. She could have been allergic to it or as suggested her high blood pressure may have contributed to her death. This is the warning label on aspirin. Aspirin may cause serious side effects including: ringing in your ears, confusion, hallucinations, rapid breathing, seizure (convulsions), severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, fever lasting over 3 days, and swelling or pain lasting over 10 days
  12. There are decisions and consequences. You seem to be so concerned over getting Covid. Obviously not concerned enough to go through the inconvenience of traveling back to the USA. That speaks volumes about how genuine your concern is versus the hassle of having to travel back. PS. even getting the vaccine has risks and is no certainty of being 100% protected. Your actions or should I say lack of them show you are more concerned about cost and convenience.
  13. I guess they would have been OK if they just were having sex and not drinking alcohol. To the best of my knowledge having sex was not banned. But perhaps you can't do it at restaurants or during curfew hours.
  14. LOL This should be a short course. If your business is closed and you are not taking in any money you are broke.
