First off, Thailand has about 65% of its population vaccinated. 73% have had at least one vaccination. That may not be quite enough, but it's certainly better than some developed nations.

And whatever the truth of your statement about Thailand being dirty and unhygenic, covid is not transmitted by unclean surfaces or by consumption of food. It is transmitted via respiration.

And finally, at least where I live in Thailand, the wearing of masks in public spaces is virtually universally practiced.  How does that compare to practices in the hygienic paradises in the West.

Utter nonsense where I live we have 7 infections brought in by an unvaccinated backpacker and we have not worn a mask for years just the occasinal 1 week many months ago and now for 1 week

I've had covid for the past few days, presumably omicron, as it's sweeping through Australia where I am at the moment. 

 

I've had a low fever on and off. The others symptoms are those of a heavy cold - stuffy nose, sore throat and a cough. 

Don't agree, most cases in Australia are still delta inNSW they had a few with just one dead I live in WA and we have just 7 cases and none is omnicron.

Maybe when they test the first sample provided they check it for the genomic qualities of Omicron etc...and return it within 24 hrs.  They are able to do this elsewhere, why not here.

Wrong even in OZ it takes longer than 24 hours

But you are still here, Steven ????

I reckon 2500 in the whole of Thailand is a lie just in Sydney and some other states there is about 4500

I guess the best option is leave your wife at home ????

I did fix my laptop and it is working OK now but I lost my spell checker any ideas ?

What gem?  The fact that most foreigners don't submit to 10 day quarantine in field hospitals? It'd a fact. They don't bother.

And you know all them do you?

Or wish to disappear for which ever reason

Yeah I wish some of the posters on here would disapear

Guys I got it fixed and no I didn't have a virus, I reset the whole lot and it's working like a charm now.

Thanks for all your suggestions

My laptop slowed down rapidly from one day to the other,never had any problems before so I am trying to de-frag it but even this takes days on end.

I can watch grass grow faster. Even when I type, the letters just hang in there. Trying to view a website it takes ages before it connects. Any ideas?

And what is a acceptable download speed? I run windows 10 and use Firefox as browser. I must mention I am in OZ and know nothing about computers 

so be gentle with me and use plain English.

Thanks in advance
