  1. Probably over 99 percent of people claiming medical reasons are faking it which of course hurts the small number of people with legitimate reasons. If you really have a problem I would not worry about letters in Thailand. Can't you tolerate a flimsy one layer cloth mask?
  2. You'll be denied entry to most places.
  3. I think its opening up to SRRV visa applicants though. Tourists not far behind.
  4. OK. A boatload. I was just surprised people were taking it seriously.
  5. The OP's story has a tinge of inauthenticity.
  6. Yep. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
  7. At least so far I don't think Fluvoxamine has become fashionable to stock up on like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Why is that? In my opinion, Fluvoxamine in such a short course is safe and probably works. Fluvoxamine has happily avoided any political baggage unlike those others because of the likes of Bolsanaro and he who is better off never named became much more about culture wars than science and medicine. The latter excites people. Happily, I don't think Fluvoxamine will join that club.
  8. Americans used to say light in the loafers. That cracks me up.
  9. No idea but I don't want to find out. Obviously though we pay for everything. I have seen the teams arrive at my condo in the Covid space suits to literally come and take people away. Maybe they were very sick. More likely not.
  10. Temperature monitoring to enter my condo for example. Could be contact traced. Authorities have been known to isolate housing blocks with outbreaks. Many ways.
  11. Well here was the dose used in one study anyway. 100 mg twice a day.
  12. Probably not. Especially when people are afraid of being tested as being positive even without symptoms can lead to medical incarceration. Of course in western countries you'd need a scrip for antidepressants.
  13. For Covid it's a very short treatment. I seriously doubt there would psychological effects.
  14. I agree of course that people should get vaccinated.
  15. Right. I don’t care what people think. The way they are locking up low symptom and no symptom positives to me is something out of dystopian science fiction. You can't trust the official numbers. The disincentives for getting tested are great. Note I wasn't interested in the meds that have been promoted by right wingers. This one unlike those seems like it really works and there isn't a downside. Hilariously this one doesn’t have the political baggage of those others. As someone that is vaccinated and yes I do want an eventual booster I think my odds of having a serious case if infected are low already but if I can help the odds a little more, why not?
  16. My impression is that the government here has considered 70 per cent good enough. I see no evidence they're even trying for higher. Keep in mind there are anti vaxxers here too.
  17. Don't have a cow but based on the encouraging findings I would like to buy a supply of fluvoxamine in case I start to develop Covid symptoms. Why? Well I'm vaccinated but understand that I still might become infected and I think becoming infected with Covid in Thailand has become criminalized so I would prefer to try to treat it discreetly at home without even being tested. So the 64,000 baht questions I have are is fluvoxamine available in Thailand, is it sold without scrip at regular pharmacies, and if not named fluvoxamine is it available under another brand name? https://khn.org/morning-breakout/widely-accessible-antidepressant-may-cut-danger-of-developing-severe-covid/
  18. Yeah, 90 percent should be the goal and that's the entire population not only registered locally. Fourth months out should still provide good protection against hospitalization and death. That's the important part, protection against infection is secondary.
  19. It's not the best way to tax, not even close, but as long as we're into U.S. tax policies, the only reason the democrats are trying to do this is that their hands are tied in reversing the absurdly massive trump tax break for the rich that should have never happened in the first place. "Conservatives" whine about deficits when they're out of power, but when they're in power they support such horribly fiscally irresponsible tax breaks for the rich. So they want their cake and eat it too. Sooner or later, somethings gotta give. Now the republicans can demonize the democrats for more scary (to the rich) sounding creative measures, when the perverted truth is they're the side that has (mostly) created this mess.
