    Up to 2g of vit C can be taken daily as a food supplement, to boost narural intake and improve immune system. 
    Higher doses and by injection can be prescribed by doctor, rather during treatment, than as prevention. 
    as prevention it would have to be given every day, as this vitamin doesn't accumulate in the body for long. Doses for injection in thailand are only 500mg, so anything bigger would be given as a drip. 
    but punishing clinics for false claims is stupid and counterproductive, just a show of power by authorities. Making a statement by this anti-fake news centre only propagates this treatment. Only very few people would otherwise heard of it. 

    vit C is such dose is harmless, as exess will be removed from the body

    Prevention of what? A normal diet provides enough vitamin C, anything more is excreted with urine, not causing stones by the way. There is no evidence for an effect, whatever that may be, on the immune system.

    They were more or less forced into this. And with elections coming up it won't affect anything too much. Most parties think this will help them with the voters (governing parties because they are taking responsibility, opposition parties since they forced them out), IMO looks like the biggest party, VVD, will gain most from this with some of the opposition in the ropes already due to infighting.

    The civil servants were just following the rules, i.e. the laws, and so far will not be prosecuted. As for politicians everyone as a law maker is responsible but also not prosecutable. And accountable, hence resignation of the whole government.

  3. As treasurer of an association I have a lot of experience with receiving money. The info on the bank transaction page of the receiver is useless (apart from date and amount). Even when you go to the bank as a receiver they sometimes cannot find out who sent the money. The info you get as a receiver depends on the bank and type of transfer (e.g. PromptPay). Even then as a sender you cannot rely on the receiver getting any information. So, as a sender, always inform the receiver by SMS or email separately. Or forward the email you may get after a transaction.

  4. As said you need an account where it is clear how much money can be retrieved instantly. So not an investment fund that fluctuates. I have Citibank, they have no bankbook (neither has SCB by the way). I used to go the day before and on the same day get some money from an ATM and keep the slip. That was accepted. Now you can make an appointment on-line for Chaeng Wattana, so I have time to go to the bank first on the same day.

  5. As a surgeon sometimes performing difficult operations I  can confirm that face masks and glasses are not a good combination. You can treat your glasses with a substance that prevents condense, also I just tried to adapt my breathing and blowing out down. Good face masks have a metal strap to bend over the nose, sometimes we even used a piece of tape to close off the upper part. But it has been a life long struggle.
