It's not fake news at all- smokers are far less represented in covid illness than one would have thought- this appears an absolute fact.  And it's not just one population studied.

 

So, we have to ask why that it is! 

They died already, lung cancer etc, before reaching the risk age for Covid 19.

I wish that those who keep going on about it is not too bad were given their own island to play on. Of course they will get no expert medical attention as they have shown on here that they know more than all the doctors so they can heal themselves. Then we can let Darwin run it's course and thin the herd. One good thing would be that the average IQ of TVF users would be raised.

Excellent Idea!

But don't forget that Elon Musk is putting satellites all around the globe for full internet coverage, so we will continue to be online ???? 

Also, since bars and gyms and restaurants will be open there, most of the Thais might join us there, especially the lovely girls from your favorite (now closed) bar.

These cheap chemicals are required to produce food at a price everyone can afford.

How you would all scream, if they were all banned, food became scarce and prices rose x10.

This is the propaganda message of the producers of these poisons. Nevertheless it is nonsense.

And for my part I accept to pay more for poison free food, if needed.

It's not based on poisons if you Know Anything about Farming you wouldn't talk like that. give people a break before mouthing off. If used correctly there's no problem.

If that would be the case they would not be banned in many countries. For example the farmer in the EU can read and do read, so they should be able to use them correctly. Nevertheless, banned!

Better to die of cancer age 65 than of hunger age 8.

So you admit that these poisons cause cancer and you can get cancer from them at 65. Thanks.

Nevertheless I disagree, I neither want to die from Hunger at 8, nor from cancer at 65. Nobody has to.

As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health. 

What a BS, what do they gain from publishing the data and facts they see?
Nothing. Why then accusing them of it. 
Just another attempt to silence critical voices. When you're running out of facts, then accuse them of "personal financial interests".

I think the numbers they report are quite clear. But what these numbers say might not fit in some political agendas. Apparently that is why some attack and try to silence them.

Why doesn't he come up with a Cheaper/same cost  Replacement Before they ban the Chemicals? So All the people who use those chemicals have to suffer (as in extra cost) .Why didn't they start years ago to come up with a Replacement? 

There is something fundamentally wrong if farming is based on dangerous poisons and poisoning people.

These dangerous poisons are forbidden in most civilized countries, it is overdue that Thailand follows.

The agricultural chemicals to be banned are paraquat, glyphosate and chlorpyrifos.

 

Anutin said that even though the chemicals make farming cheaper, people’s health is more important.

Good! At least this decision is good for Thailand, good for the people!

in Sweden, with new cases increasing every day and a death rate MUCH higher than in neighbouring countries that are in lockdown

wishful thinking?

"new cases increasing every day" is simply what happens if you test, and if you understand that Sweden is just letting the process towards herd immunity run faster than in the lockdown countries. It's not about avoiding the spread anymore, it's simply about the speed.

And as bonus Sweden will have not destroyed its economy as much as the lockdown countries.

There's been no credible scientific evidence or consensus, AFAIK, thus far that people who have been infected with CV are subsequently immune from catching it again at some later point. The presence of antibodies does not equal immunity.

Nevertheless, with all the Coronaviruses we know, that is what happens, you get them, and when your immune system handled it you have acquired immunity for a while, about a year usually.

It is much more likely that with this Coronavirus it will be the same, than that this virus is totally different.

Not doctors. A doctor said that.

If you would have given them a chance and watched it you would have noticed that they were indeed 2 doctors presenting. (And not just 2 doctors but 2 ER doctors, working every day at the Covid front.) 
So "doctors" was definitely correct.

They did not punish them at all. They just warned them not to repeat it and then they were released. 

Now that's good news!

Flattening the curve is about adjusting the infection rate to keep the hospitals running at full capacity.

Many hospitals around the globe are not only empty, but they have to fire doctors and nurses. Patients with the need for medical care are not getting it, all is blocked for the Covid patients, which are mostly not coming.
Absolutely no benefit of these flattening attempts except destroying besides the economy now also the healthcare systems.

Are lockdowns worth their costs?
Absolutely not!

There is also criticism of the Stanford antibody testing in California (you mentioned)

Of course, and it is good that such studies are reviewed by others (as long as they are knowledgeable in that field).

Nevertheless, with other Antibody studies in Germany and New York showing even much higher percentages it looks as if the Stanford study is not far off the truth.

I don't think the virus has been spreading in Thiland and unnoticed, not given the very low infection and death rates here.

There were no test in December and January, even February, so how can you know that there was a very low infection rate at that time?

I suspect a lot of the testing for the virus is sold/done by the private hospitals checking to see if someone has Covid-19 -- so they can transfer them over to the public hospital (don't want contaminated people affecting the profitability). 

You "suspect" - do you have any source that such tests have been done by private hospitals, and if so, already in January or February, or may be March?

As far as I know such tests were not available in Thailand or Cambodia at that time in private Hospitals in January and February, and most still don't have them.

It's one hypothesis, but the only way to prove it is to basically test a fairly large population sample for coronavirus antibodies. Given an antibody test is costing farangs 8000 baht, not something that will be happening soon.

Are such antibody tests available in Thailand or Cambodia?

Well, if you die of pneumonia that is triggered by coronavirus, according to this guy the cause of death should be listed as pneumonia. BS.

That is not what he is saying. Listen again.

Nobody cycling up there can have Covid-19, they need to breath uninhibited. And they all will have good lungs, which means good chances to survive even a heavy Virus attack. Snitches, go home and let them exercise!
