  1. Yes, I know about the increased risk associated with HIV and TB, in connection. And prisons are problematic, as well, for representing reservoirs for TB, as you also know.
  2. I have no plans to visit the UK, in the future. Asia is not far better. Also, if I wished to visit such a hodgepodge-multicultural land, then I would truly consider myself CRAZY. I prefer more homogeneous societies, and always have. Homogeneous societies are far more stable and less contentious. This is why I live in a place with ZERO other people and outsider groups, such as Farang in this 99.99-percent locale of mine. This is the way I like it. If I want to see Indians, then I go to India. Africans? I go to Africa. Lions and Tigers? I go to either the word-class zoos, or several high-quality preserves, which are now under threat. The world is changing, and I do not like the changes; the changes are not positive in nature. The world as I once knew it, a very good world, has been destroyed. And we can see that we are experiencing the final days of humanity. This is my privilege for living so long, into this present decade. It's the same all over the world, wherever you go. Therefore, I do as as Savoy Brown sings: I just like back, and unwind..... It's really the only way, these days... Just LIE FLAT....
  3. We must maintain contact with the enemy and consolidate our forces for a future engagement. We are fighting a losing battle without an effective vaccine. Therefore, we must invest heavily in arming ourselves with the vaccine, while using more effective strategies than are being used today, which do not work. We should also try to topple governments which are not much more democratic, because this is just one part of a more effective strategy. Prisons in Russia should be fumigated and staffed with intelligent health workers. There is much that can be done, and, unfortunately, here in this short comment, I have not the space to elucidate the totality of my thoughts about this Topic.
  4. Good strategy. Very reinforcing.
  5. As Chomsky always says (or said before his most recent stroke): You can read about it. All the information is available on the internet. Or, maybe listen to Gates and his foundation. He is pushing the vaccine route to reduce illness and improve health around the world. We need much more work and investment on vaccines. Problem is that once you have a vaccine, then long-term drug therapy is no-longer needed. Vaccines can be subsidized by the government, and then people are far less likely to become cash cows for Phara Companies, once vaccinated. Trying to treat long-term illness like TB through drug therapy is a losing battle which wastes resources, year after year.
  6. Good and Motivating Topic. Used to be able to fast walk 24 kilometers a couple times a week.... Before the pandemic. Now, need to re-start. But how? Overcoming inertia is difficult upon restart. Still, I think, if the smoke pollution increases significantly, then this might be enough to get me out walking again...and... I hope so. I have several boxes of premium respirators. And, if the smoke begins in earnest, then I will don a mask and begin walking again, maybe starting at 5 kilometers, initially. Unfortunately, it seems that the smoky season is late this year. But, during the past two days things have been starting to really pick up around here with readings of about 185, or so. When it gets to PM2.5 readings of around 200 or more...then... THIS is the thing that will motivate me the MOST. I will look out and see the smoke, and then put on my 3M respirators, and walk for hours. The blacker the outside of my masks become, then the more I like it. It's sort of like putting on snow-chains on tires before heading out in a blizzard... Extremely challenging, exciting, and very motivating. Then, after the smoke clears in July, I will be back to my old walking regimen, and I will try to never again fall off the wagon... Great Topic, by the way....
  7. Gone are the days of Charles Dickens,... Obviously.
  8. I am ready. I think I will soon enjoy being one.
  9. Well, I must admit... You certainly do SOUND bored.
  10. YES...! Reminds me of the great song: Political Science....Randy Newman....
  11. Treating TB is a FOOLS ERRAND. I just hope you do not think this is a good strategy. Also, whatever Trump does, despite what you might like to believe, will... NOT affect the outcome much, if at all. What is needed is a vaccine for TB. TB drugs are gradually and surely losing their efficacy. Stay informed on this topic, is my advice. And then, donate your money to the most promising VACCINE RESEARCH Projects you can find. And, no need to thank me for this VERY SOUND ADVICE....
  12. I say... Tough Luck for the Europeans, these days. They already made their decisions, years ago. And, they have now chosen to be overrun with migrants from North Africa, Continental Africa, China, India, and other countries whose cultures and allegiance are unaligned with what once was Western Europe, plus the UK. They already cast their votes to be overrun. Now is the time for them to reap the rewards of their foolhardiness. Thankfully, America and Canada still stand united ! We will soon have a land mass that includes the USA, Canada, and Greenland...under one Government of Trump. If Greenland refuses to submit, or Denmark does not listen, then we will just ask Elon to buy up Greenland, parcel by parcel, and donate everything to.... The American People. Things are achanging, now. There is a NEW Sheriff in Town....folks....!!!!!
  13. And then.... Mars Attacks !!!
  14. Now you know why I have, during my many years in Thailand, not set one toe in the water at one of Thailand's beaches. And, I also don't want to be assaulted by one of those hot young women wearing virtually NOTHING on local beaches. Who knows, I might be overpowered if I were to be assaulted by about ten of them, all at once.
  15. I think NOT. I believe he has been trying to find some way out of his predicament for quite some time, including an Elite Visa. But, one assumes, nothing he had hoped for has panned out. So, then...Divorce is his most recent consideration. Not a good situation. Have a Good One...!
  16. Correct, one might think at first glance. However, maybe this is fact. If so, follow advice. Being locked up here is not an option.
  17. So now, we are talking about The Carbon Cycle? We seem to be covering almost EVERYTHING in this Topic. This is why my Topics are just so.... Stupendous. Right?
  18. Sure, they probably have a following of FOOLS. Fools are willing to pay a lot for nothing.
  19. There are always... Worms, obviously.
  20. IMHO, and the US Army's opinion... These tests say a LOT. Only necessary to read the tons of data available on the Internet. If you are saying that: The average citizen of PNG, living in the jungle, is smarter than the top undergrads at HARVARD, then you may be correct. There is a very wellknown Harvard prof that argues this point. And, he may be right.
  21. What you probably do not know, however, is that I often intentionally misspell words in order to provide you with welcome diversion during hours when you might not be playing golf.
  22. SAT: So, as I say, at least in The Summer of 69, the SAT was essentially an IQ test.
  23. The SAT is, essentially, an iQ test, which is something that most people do know. Care to post your SAT scores? Or, you might not have taken them, depending on what school system you were in, and where you were intending to study at university. The scores pre-1973 are not equivalent to those of later tests. Also, the earlier SATs were open-ended... Still, the SAT is an IQ test.
