Order a couple more then. If you end up with more than you need, flog them on eBay.

£180 the pair.

I booked and paid for the 2 & 8 day test kits a month ago. Am due to start quarantine in the UK on Friday. Still no sign of the kits.

More recent posts indicate at least phone calls are being made to check on those hibernating.

how do they know where you are when you answer the phone?

A big concern is the vaccination of those who have fought off the Covid Virus. If the consequent anti bodies were in my system, then I would need assurances - based upon scientific studies - that the vaccine would not attack them.

Son in law, hospital consultant in the UK, contracted Covid in October. Had the vaccine in January. Normal practice, people are advised to have the vaccine even if they have recovered from Covid.

He was known as the "Bikini Killer" in Thailand not The Serpent. Some of the murders were actually committed in Pattaya. His Indian partner was disposed of by him in Malasia, his body has never been found.

Although the police in Thailand had more than enough evidence to convict him , he evaded the courts by distributing the usual brown envelopes at quite a high level. Quelle surprise!

What does that mean in English?

Don't worry about it, its not a solution anyway. Just resets "Topics" a bit. Doesn't actually bring them up to date. A blind alley. Unbelievable that the techies can't sort such a basic problem out. Maybe they've been laid off.

Vitamin D deficiency is not rare and in some populations such as black Americans shockingly common. 

Its also common in Muslim women in the UK. A pretty sunless country and they have dark skin and when they venture out are completely covered apart from a small letterbox around the eyes.

However, neither you nor I are Muslim women living in the UK. Nature magazine is making you paranoid. Take a chill pill and enjoy life.

No. That's not true.

Yes. That's true. Don't be scammed by the brown rice brigade. A white person living in Thailand will undoubtedly produce enough Vitamin D. Likewise with Vitamin C. "A plate of somtam a day keeps the doctor away".

Pork pies at Siamsbury's are acceptable. Not frozen. Add chunky Branston and a side salad.

Just now, Jingthing said:

Very few people know if they're deficient or not.

That's because very few people are. Same with Vitamin C. people taking 10 times the recommended daily dose when they get as much as they need from food/drinks. Crazy people.

“There will be likely a need for a third dose somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual re-vaccination,” Albert Bourla said in an interview with CVS Health that aired on Thursday.

The link is behind a paywall. Nice try but no cigar.

It's on ALL the networks.  Just Google 'Pfizer CEO third dose' > just pick one of them.

You posted a quote, you need to provide a link.

Nowhere in the link does it mention the quote you posted.

Be careful with KLM and cheap prices. I flew back with them to the UK three weeks ago. Got hit with a 4,600 baht fee at the check in desk for checking in my 15kg bag.

Make sure check in baggage is included in the ticket price. I've never experienced this before on my long haul travels, but got caught out this time.

I payed the extra when I bought my ticket. 1200 baht.

The Merseyside Police failed to find the hooligans who attacked City's bus as they'll fail to find those who attacked Madrid's bus.

 

Do you actually think they want to find them? Get real.

 

I have no doubt the local plod are very happy with the attempts to rattle Liverpool's opponents as it's good for 'local morale' if the local team wins.

 

They needed to arrest the whole of the Kop. 

This gives a truer picture of the scale of the problem. Hundreds involved. Very scary for those in the coach.

By the time you return, two will not be enough.

 

And vaccines do not stop you getting the virus, they just lessen the symptoms.

AZ 89% effective at preventing infection. I did say, "Conspiracy theorists and amateur epidemiologists not welcome".

Not heard from @Jingthing for a while, hope he is okay.

Here's his latest vlog.

Very very likely.

 

But everyone is going to have catch the virus sometime anyway, so ..

I'll be getting my 2 shots before I return so no virus for me. Conspiracy theorists and amateur epidemiologists not welcome here thanks.

I think this time not so bad, ok the bars are closed I can live with that as long as I can get a beer

They've just announced that Phuket and Chonburi are now in red zones. No alcohol in restaurants. 7/11s closed 11pm-4am too.

Thanks for that. Love you too. Not going to LHR.

But, your're ok doing that?

first time wasn't a problem. Takeouts from local restaurants but got a bit stir crazy as the 2nd month progressed.

Just now, TaaSaparot said:

 

Why?

Age and multiple pre existing conditions. Also have a Covid test for international travel next Wednesday. Disaster if I test positive. Pattaya is wick with Covid.

Just now, Leaver said:

 

Incorrect.

 

For the past year there have been no TOURISTS.  The expats within Thailand are still customers, and quite a vulnerable demographic for covid.  

True. During the 1st lockdown I self isolated for 2 months. I am now self isolating again.
