I would try to restart my PC. After that I would download and open in the Adobe software and use FILL AND SIGN feature to enter the text and then print. Hope that works.

I was using z FREE VPN and yesterday it was closed down.  www.ustvgo.tv

 

Can anyone recommend another VPN? 

 

Doesn't have to be free, but has to include CNBC as I trade stocks on the NYSE

 

Thanks

Question on trading... I am on my way to Thailand next week... Do you have to use a VPN to login to your trading software? If so, what platform do you use? I have multiple accounts Think Or Swim(TDA), Active Trader(fidelity) and StreetSmart Edge(Schwab) and also WeBull and was wondering if I needed it or not. Thanks,

Well that was easy. I emailed Pacific Cross with the request and received the document in a couple of hours and it was in my mail this morning(US). Now uploaded to the link they provided. So I should have my visa soon.

Same topic... Different question. I am in the US and currently sent all docs to DC for a retirement visa. I have Pacific Cross for the year and AXA for 30 days COVID insurance. I just received a email from the Embassy:

• A: Please upload the Foreign Insurance Certificate have to be sign by 3 officers of the Insurance Company as soon as possible.

I thought Pacific Cross and AXA are Thai companies since they are on the approved list. I emailed to see if this is a mistake and maybe they don't realize they are on the list. I also emailed my contact at Pacific to see if I can get the document they are asking for.

Any thoughts?

What are the dimensions? The weight is not as important. The reason I ask is if it will fit in the USPS box then there is a set fee for shipping under a set weight. I would check with USPS online you can put the address and dimensions/weight to see what it will be. The last box I mailed USA to Sakon Nakhon was 65USD and arrived in 3 weeks.

@Billpro785 This is helpful to me too. I am retiring now and in the process of selling everything(Highlands county, FL) and want to get out of here by the end of March. I will be out of MCO also and did see the test clinic but didn't know it was that easy, thanks for the run down. I haven't thought about going through Europe instead of the other way through Korea on Delta flights. I may still try to go through Delta because I am a diamond member and wanted to use my miles to get most of the way there via business class and pay the rest of the way from Incheon, Korea cash. Thanks for the details

Why is that a problem?  

The US government will not look at studies that have been done with existing drugs to use for treating and reducing the symptoms of the virus. That is a problem. So people are dying because the symptoms are not treated.

There's a big difference between anecdotal reports and scientifically conducted clinical trials.

 

If you don't like the U.S. CDC, then maybe you'll like the WHO and its international clinical trial better:

 

https://www.who.int/news/item/15-10-2020-solidarity-therapeutics-trial-produces-conclusive-evidence-on-the-effectiveness-of-repurposed-drugs-for-covid-19-in-record-time

 

Oct. 15, 2020

...

"Interim results from the Solidarity Therapeutics Trial, coordinated by the World Health Organization, indicate that remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon regimens appeared to have little or no effect on 28-day mortality or the in-hospital course of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients.

The study, which spans more than 30 countries, looked at the effects of these treatments on overall mortality, initiation of ventilation, and duration of hospital stay in hospitalized patients. Other uses of the drugs, for example in treatment of patients in the community or for prevention, would have to be examined using different trials."

 

 

I know you are trying to be helpful. You have to read this. There have been studies by doctors that have data about this being used for prevention and it works. The problem is they don't want to see that data. So they put out a statement here and is read just like you read it and point to it not working. And it doesn't work if you get so sick you are in the hospital. It works if you take it before or even when you first get the virus it helps.

Still no answer to my question.

Sept. 4, 2020 from the U.S. CDC:

 

"Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are approved to treat autoimmune diseases and to prevent and treat malaria. Earlier this year, they were widely reported to be of potential benefit in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19; however, current data indicate that the potential benefits of these drugs do not outweigh their risks."

...

"Following reports of cardiac and other adverse events in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 (2), on April 24, 2020, FDA issued a caution against its use^† and on June 15, rescinded its EUA for hydroxychloroquine from the Strategic National Stockpile.^§ Following the FDA’s issuance of caution and EUA rescindment, on May 12 and June 16, the federal COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel issued recommendations against the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to treat COVID-19; the panel also noted that at that time no medication could be recommended for COVID-19 pre- or postexposure prophylaxis outside the setting of a clinical trial."

To me this means nothing because the rest of the world that is using these are succeeding. The reason the US CDC doesn't want a treatment is because if there is a treatment then emergency use can not be given to a vaccine. Like I said before, there is a reason the US is at the top of the deaths list and India is way down that list and it is because they are treating with these antivirals. 

My question is still the same, can we buy these in Thailand?

I have taken hydroxy before for months in the Army. We all did on deployments and there were no problems. If you look into the statements by the CDC it is referencing over the recommended dose as well. 

I will add, I know people who had the virus and were in very bad condition and found a doctor to prescribe the hydroxy and felt better within 24 hours of taking it.

there is also anti-viral Tamiflu, used by thai doctors in January in cocktail of other anti-virals to successfully treat several patients. 

Also anti-parasitic ivermectin (can be used as malaria prophylaxis) , but also has anti-viral properties (used experimentally for dengue, zika, chikungunya and other tropical).

Another anti-parasitic niclosamide is promising and at clinical trials

 

Yes treatment is key if a vaccine is not available and will help get countries through with minimum deaths. India used them successfully. The US(I am here unfortunately) is not treating and we are 12th on the list of deaths per pop. India is not locked down and claims herd possibly reached as their cases are reducing because of treatment and prophylaxis of their population. Unfortunately I feel the US is not using it and push a vaccine for political reasons and greed.

QUESTION: Is Ivermectin and/or hydroxycloroquine available in Thailand now? I am in the works of selling everything and plan to retire in Thailand in March and am wondering if I can get better access than I can here in the US.

Thanks in advance
