Ok here's a link, couldn't be bothered to look it up earlier :

 

 

Source here : https://reason.com/2020/05/15/whats-the-herd-immunity-threshold-for-the-covid-19-coronavirus/

 

The actual sources for the various arguments on the page are linked on the above page, mainly this one :

They're incorporating reality into the pure math model, some people simple don't interact with others so much so not everyone is equal when it comes to R numbers and this is the difference.

Not according to some very recent research I've read.

Uncited research you have read is, after all, remarkably useful to us in this context.

Of course I am apparently likened to a trolling drunken poster or Leslie Nielsen as a detective, so just so that those of you can continue in your beliefs as smart <deleted> a little education for those who would like facts and where to find them.  Of course the majority of this is for the State Side and Canada.

Cocaine

Cocaine is most commonly snorted, but crack-cocaine can also be smoked or injected. This recreational drug is highly addictive.

• The average cost of cocaine ranges from $100-120 per gram.
• A typical “line” of cocaine is 50 milligrams, yielding 20 uses from a single gram.
• The effects of cocaine last approximately 30 minutes.
• For a heavy user, cocaine addiction can cost over $120 per day.

 

But then what do I know.....go look yourself folks.  I could provide you with what DEA used for prices....

Street Drug Prices

• Amphetamine 10 mg $5
• Cocaine 1 gram $45
• Marijuana 1 gram $10
• Mushrooms 3.5 grams $25
• Oxycodone 60 mg $8
• Valium 7 mg $7
• Heroin 0.10 grams $25
• Ecstacy 100 mg $15
• Methamphetamines 20 mg $30

 

The DEA also has a useful page about the most commonly abused drugs. This is just another reference that shows what the illicit drugs are and how they are used. We also have a page on street drugs that you may find helpful.

And finally, here is a PDF file that is a 2009 street drug price list from the greater Toronto area in Canada. The numbers may be different in your area depending upon where you live.

Below is a list of the DEA drug seizures.

Nice copy pasta, alas none of it relavent to se asia or thailand unless toronto has relocated.

Then of course, it is also 10 year old information.

Please tell me that those prices are incorrect...... 5000 for 1g?

It would need to be insanely high quality to retail for that as a single which usually go for 2500 -3000, maybe 3500 max if outside bangkok.

5k is completely unrealistic especially given the that it was the rate for almost 3/4 of an ounce.

The fact that the report also indicates more was found at the guys apartment in pill form is equally unlikely.

So the report doesnt make much sense.

My sister-in-law had a couple of them done when she worked in Phuket about a decade ago, they are still illegal, cost was about 2,000-3,000 each time back then if memory serves me correctly, but I suppose it depends on who is doing them and where.

 

She asked my wife to help her out and she declined, her reason being that she knows better when having sex to wear a condom, and to take the pill, after all she was making money, but chose to drink it and take yabba dabba doo, her mistake, not my wife's, she is hard, but fair and I agreed with her, so the big sister paid for it twice, did her sister learn from it, well she now has a 2 year old, father being the x boy friend is in jail for a decade because he got busted dealing in yabba dabba doo.

 

If she is a friend and you lend her money, will this be the only time, I say that with respect.

 

Sometimes you got to be hard, or people don't learn, different if it was a life death situation, and I know you said you no jokes, so I have gone in the opposite direction as you didn't say no preaching ????

 

Epicly irrelavent.

Thanks so much.

Interesting, but nothing unusual on TV, a person asks a serious question about a topic and what is the result?  First, some make a "joke" even though the person seeking the information asks for no "jokes" as they are making a serious request.  Second, there are those who provide an "I think" idea without providing any thing useful.  Third. there are those who present "out of date" information such as "about 10 years ago".  Fourth, putting up information that is irrelevant such as "I know somebody who had an abortion but don't know how much it cost".  Then there are those who specify information, such as a clinic location but not knowing if the place actually exists as it "used to be located at".

 

Why bother to post if you do not or cannot answer the question or provide current information and I do not mean things such as "it is illegal" although one person did post about a new law recently introduced but not yet active.

 

Why not put yourself in the original poster's position and answer the question as requested or, to quote an old expression from back home - LEAVE IT OUT, if you know what that means.

'nuf sed.

If you have not figured out that thaivisa is the primary of entertainment for a large number of the dying, dull, diesenfranchised, defeated, depressed or just plain drunk thailand hangers on, I am afraid you will only continue to be disappointed.

It's illegal unless she was raped..there are underground places  that any bargirl would know about.

And wishing them upon a woman is tantamount to cruelty.

While technically illegal, it is very much discretionary.

Are you not shocked with Thailand completely shut down, that the baht has not moved at all?

Why would I be shocked? 

Is it news that the thai baht is tethered to usd?

Has china's currency collapsed?

Is everyone else not in the same boat?

Beyond the emerging markets, please show me another currency that has faltered significantly ( beyond the pound, which has its own issues).

I do admit I havent been following the markets, but nor have I been intentionally blind.

you dont know what you are talking about and have never had a sixpack.

sixpack requires extremely low fat, situps isnt going to give you those, its extreme diet or chemicals that does it.

i have been buffed from bodybuilding and i have had a sixpack, not simultaneously tho, the sixpack only ever came after many months on dnp, i was weaker then ever with next to no muscles when i sported a sixpack

 

I suppose I should be grateful its not a dick pick.

Forget you are not on r/gonewild for a moment there?

But thanks for sharing.

Preferring Asian women is easy, when that is all you can get. Be real about it. Why are you in Thailand in the first place? The temples? Trashy Beaches?

 

There is no 20 year old beach barbie hottie going to go out with a 50 - 60 year old no matter what, unless perhaps you have $100 million.

 

You have no choice.

 

 

 

 

The baht is incredibly stable.

But yes, white women is a problem at beach parties, especially when they insist on a photo...????

 

 

However, numerous native also attends the rituel dances????, especially on neighboring Samui...????????

 

If you are on samui or phangan to pick up thai girls, you really are scraping the barrel.

no, the gut is all about fat and nothing to do with sixpack,

as nature would have it, we accumulate inner fat with age,

it cant even be safely surgically removed,

the alternatives are constant energy deficit or intermittent drugs that burns it away

Nonsense, visceral fat increses with age, the gut can be worked off.

Diet and exercise.

Russian celebrities are they, well I have never heard of any of them.

And yet the same comment again.

Let me clear it up for you.

They. Are. Russian. Celebrities.

Are you russian? If not, why would you have heard of them?

More to the point, why would you make an effort to even respond?

Lavish international holidays.

Like crossing the channel to france.

i had the black hole with coated uv lamps for the living room in my house which always has mosquitos. 

i found it very effective, there would always be a significant number of mosquitons in the tray.

the coated uv creates co2 which draws mosquitoes, the fan sucks them in and then deescalates them.

alas the fan died after a couple of years and i have not yet bothered replacing it.

A lot of folks here have been lashing out at Dr. Poovorawan for handing out unnecessary advice on the grounds that they haven't heard the rumour.

 

I wonder how many of those critics have ventured outside their 4 walls these last 2 months and heard any gossip at all. Just because you haven't heard the rumour, it doesn't mean it's not out there. Besides which, most rumours of this nature that spread among the Thai community rarely reach the ears of the falang community anyway.

 

This rumour is out there for sure, my wife has heard about it. She doesn't believe it, but many people do, so kudos to Dr. Poovorawan for bringing this matter to the public's attention.

 

And kudos to @Yinn for supporting him.

more to the point, those that wouldn't have been privy to the rumours even had they ventured outside or their wives had not taken the trouble to translate.
