For reference sake, the sanctions are mostly in respect to transacting with Americans. They are intended to target the perpetrators of serious human rights abuse and corruption under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, and will prohibit UDG from conducting business with any U.S. citizen, and from using the U.S. financial system.
Union Development Group Co., Ltd. (UDG) is considered to be a part of the Chinese military industrial structure. It is linked to the construction of the not so secret military and naval base integrated with the Dara Sakor project.The Chinese are alleged to have gained control of the land through what human rights organizations and monitors termed as a corrupt seizure. The construction of a large military base in Cambodia presents a security threat to Vietnam and Thailand as well as other countries in the region.
In most countries, the blatant corruption that allowed protected wildlife and forest in Botum Sakor National Park to be turned over to the Chinese military would be questioned. The Chinese UDG is alleged to have falsified its registration (registering as as a Cambodian-owned company, headed by a Cambodian national) 3 years after taking the land in the deceitful manner, UDG changed back to being a Chinese-owned and operated company. Under Cambodian law, the land was to revert back to Cambodia.Much of the forest has been decimated due to logging for the Chinese market and by poaching of rare and endangered animals for the Chinese potion market. The Chinese have been active for the past 20 years in the destruction of the forest as they try to convert it to palm oil and other commercial growth. The widespread use of Chinese pesticides and herbicides has contaminated the soil and water.
Why are the Americans and others so upset? Well aside from the expansion of the Chinese military presence, the Cambodians collected monies from the west to protect the forest area. Some might say that in effect, the corrupt regime of the Chinese puppet state, ripped of western governments and charities by taking aid money only to allow the Chinese to violate the Cambodian farmers human rights and to build their military base.
What will it take to get the world to wake up to the Chinese government abuse of the environment and furthering of corruption in the region?

Do not under any circumstances self medicate.
The drug (hormone) referred to here is the medical abortion drug Mifepristone) aka RU-486 in the EU.
The prescribing maximum period is 9 weeks after the last menstruation. Sometimes it can be used up to 10 weeks. The later it is used, the more likely the patient will suffer complications.
This would be a 2nd trimester procedure and would require a surgical intervention. It is not a quick procedure and there can be complications. You need the care of an experienced physician in a hospital or equipped clinic environment and should under no circumstances try and do this at home using pills or potions purchased over the internet. If the self procedure is botched, you can kill the woman. The patient is the woman and her safety is the prime concern.

Actually it does. Survival outcomes are better for the wealthy. It is the same outcome as what we see with other critical care diseases;
- Wealth is a determining factor in general health characteristics such as nutrition, and care of chronic disease. Wealthy people will have their diabetes under control, but poor people often do not. Same for blood pressure etc.
- The wealthy are less likely to be exposed to crowded poorly ventilated living conditions and they will have access to clean water for proper sanitation.
The poor are most likely to be in situations where they are exposed. it is the poor person who drives the bus or who works at 7-11.
it is the poor person who has to work as the cleaner.
True, being rich won't protect you or save you from Covid19, but it makes one chances to avoid the disease better.
As in other aspects of life, it sucks to be poor.

Privacy and confidentiality do not appear to be taken seriously in Thailand.
- The MP should not have allowed his phone to be spied upon in this fashion. If he is sloppy in his private pleasures, how does he treat secret government information?
- It is a violation of privacy to spy on people in this manner, no matter how noble cause.

A symbolic move intended to gain political points. I expect that many older bajans will find it a rude gesture. The understanding has always been to leave the issue until the passing of HM. If this issue is not managed it could cost Barbados dearly.
- The UK is one of the largest sources of tourists
- The UK also provides aid and development money.
- Barbados was once a popular offshore insurance domicile for London market associated insurers.
If this turns into a brit bashing event, Barbados will bid adieu to its UK investment and tourism trade.

Thank you G'kid.
I wonder if you would please share your thoughts about the future of inter. travel (perhaps also domestic travel), e.g. folks who have had the vaccination carrying some proof. Or perhaps that should be an easily accessible record in an always up to date very secure international database?
Or do you have some different thoughts on this?
Please share.
We are still some time away from mass vaccination.
If there is a viable vaccine, much will depend on what the protection period is for the vaccine. The protection period will determine travel guidelines & rules. If only good for a few months or a year, we may still see travel restriction. If it can be shown to be effective for several years, it will make life easier. I know that we will have a\some adverse reactions, which will delay any roll out.
We already know that the roll out will target health care workers and high risk patient groups, By the time it is available to the general traveling public, it could be the end of 2021. I expect that what we would see are requirements that parallel the need to have yellow fever vaccination proof. We also know that some countries are subject to polio vaccination evidence requirements.
At the very least, I can see some countries subject to tougher travel restrictions. For example, Afghanis and Pakistanis cannot enter some middle eastern countries without evidence of being vaccinated against polio.
I do have 2 concerns;
1. The potential treatment identified on this thread if it works would be a game changer. The concern is that we once had drugs that worked against many diseases and then they were handed out like candy and it facilitated the adaptation of the contagions, such that they became resistant. I could see a country like Thailand giving the drug out like they do with antibiotics now. Have a sniffle? Demand a cure? Here's a pill.
2. Thailand appears to be relying on the Chinese vaccine(s). I would be very hesitant to enter into a country which was using the Chinese products as we have no indication how they were created, or tested or even if they are effective. China is not a country given to transparency. I would also be concerned about counterfeit vaccines (and treatments). We see it now in Africa, and it kills.

A large number of comments on this thread provide examples of why foreigners should not be allowed in;
- use of the term "plandemic"
- claims that the infection will run its course
- references to "conspiracies"
All show that too many foreigners cannot be trusted to behave in a responsible manner. As a result, the majority of responsible respectful foreigners will suffer.

how about you and the others referencing the economic cost of the government policy, cost out your position?
- How much will the increase in infections cost Thailand if the borders reopen?
- How would Thailand handle/manage the increased number of infected?
- How would these tourists who become ill be managed?

It is easy to criticize, but just once, I would like to see a critic offer a cost benefit analysis to opening the borders.

There are some inconsistencies;
1. First Story states; an army general notified the family that the new conscript died at about 1.45am of a blood clot, preventing blood flow to the brain
2. Second story states: doctors at Bhumibol Hospital had diagnosed the conscript’s cause of death as being an irregular heartbeat and not due to any physical attack
Story 1 indicates a fatal ischemic stroke. It is most unusual for a 21 year old in good health to die in this manner.
Usually it occurs as a result of;
- Physical injury, e.g. head trauma
- Drug abuse
- Genetic predisposition and other unknown causes
- infections
- Inflammatory disease
If the deceased was not physically injured and there are no indications other family members experiencing sudden death in this manner, then one would wonder about Covid19. We know that the infection is an inflammatory illness and can give rise to blood clots in the infected,

The information, while available to the public was known and shared as early as last April. It was formally under review in May,
The amusing aspect, well at least it is amusing for me, is that the OP who is crowing about this, doesn't realize he was just recently criticizing the fundamental intellectual asset that allowed the possible treatment to be identified. I mention the timeline because it ties back to a key element of the Moderna potential vaccine. Forgive me if I gloat, but here's why;
- On another thread, the OP was accusing Dr. Fauci of owning "patents" related to a Covid19 vaccine and of standing to profit from the vaccine. Neither allegation was true, but is a core part of the campaign of deceit that anti vaccination proponents disseminate.
- Some may recall that the US government researchers had a key role in identifying and isolating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that Moderna is using as part of its vaccine. It is pertinent because the researchers here used a SARS-CoV2 spike protein to trap the antibody. This spike protein will also be used in the University of Pittsburgh vaccine candidate. The peer reviewed research was released in April.
- Aside from giving me a chortle at the thought of anti vaccination cultists having conniptions over the shared knowledge, it does underline the role that the US NIH and associated specialty research organizations have in the development of vaccines and treatments that benefit the world.
It may be additionally upsetting to the anti vaccination cultists because even though the U of Pitt is taking credit, this research was a shared effort with the University of Saskatchewan. U of Sask is the university where the agricultural department developed some of the corona virus vaccines that much of the world's farming community now depends upon. Also a substantial amount of the funding came from various Government of Canada agencies and funds for vaccine R&D, so perhaps this means that Dr. Fauci has cast a magical spell over the scientists in Canada.
On a more serious note, the time period coincides with the increased cyber attacks on researchers at the involved universities. The University of Saskatchewan was particularly targeted. The multiple cyber attackers were believed to have been Russian and Chinese in origin.
The results demonstrate the international co-operation that is allowing progress. There are longstanding ties to centers of excellence in the UK, EU, Canada and elsewhere and friendships made over the years. The ability to work relatively well together (human emotions aside) is a reason why the western free world is where it is and why we will be able to have confidence in the products that are being developed, unlike those of the secrecy cloaked Chinese and Russian products.

The EU will never admit Turkey. This would allow millions of migrants to enter unchecked.

The EU is given to bullying and dictating. What did the EU expect when it forced the UK into a corner? The critics were never in favour of Brexit so it is to be expected that they will opine negatively. This isn't the first time the EU has done this in its trade negotiations. One need only look at the blackmail and last minute brinkmanship that occurred during the CETA negotiations with Canada. It's a repeat of some of the tactics.
Not that the UK and its collection of twits doesn't share a large part in this mess. There is an arrogance in the UK government that assumes the world will fall over itself seeking a trade deal with the country. Aside from the economic migrants seeking entry, no one is really interested. The UK needs to look itself in the eye and realize that independence from Brussels and its dictates comes at a price. The people must pay that price or forever be subject to the the same issues that forced the Brexit in the first place.

I did not comment on the hydroxychloroquine report because there is nothing there. Two men screaming about something they do not understand is not a substitute for an actual study. Did you read the "study"?
It was authored by an orthopedic surgeon who now has a stem cell treatment in "regeneration" sideline. Someone who is trained in clinical medical research, i.e. has a Doctorate or a Masters of Clinical Research Science will understand that before conclusions can be made on the benefits of a drug, the underlying research must be reviewed. I don't doubt for a minute that the gentleman is a qualified orthopedic surgeon or that he is well educated, but wow, if I had done this type of report, my professors would have torn me apart and left my carcass to rot in front of the Dean's office as a warning to all who engaged in sloppy literature review.
The promoted article was a review of existing papers and reports, some of which were for discussion purposes, others which were peer reviewed. Not mentioned is that the clinical trials set up to specifically examine the use of the drug as a treatment included large numbers of patients and were exhaustive in their screening of patients, and follow up. These were studies such as the non biased double blind studies. All of these studies had NEGATIVE or no benefit conclusions. The smaller studies not subject to the more rigorous controls and oversight were more likely to report "positive" results. If a patient is not screened for Covid19 and is treated with the drug solely on the basis of potential exposure, the results will be biased to a positive outcome because there is a strong likelihood that the patient may not have been infected to start with. It also makes a difference if patients are asymptomatic at the start of the study. You will find that patients without symptoms were more likely to report positive outcomes.
Yes a review of papers can show certain results. It is when you get into the details that you see that the patient screenings and type of patients varied differently. There were 32 in hospital studies. Of the 32, the study author states 14 reported "good" results, 15 reported no improvement and 3 reported worse results. Well, what the author does not state is what the state of those the patients in the 14 studies was and how many patients were involved. His interpretation of "good' is subjective. Read the underlying papers and you will see why there were likely to be "positive" results.
There is absolutely no benefit to anyone to discourage the use of the drug. No one gains or benefits. And yet, we have its promoters cling to this as if it is a magical cure all and claim conspiracy when it is pointed out that multiple studies show that it is ineffective. If the drug had benefit it would be in wide use.
In contrast, Dexamethasone, a glucoocorticoid, was found to offer significant benefit to some patients. It is a readily available and low cost drug. None of the promoters of hydroxychloroquine acknowledge this. If there was a conspiracy to deny treatments, why then is Dexamethasone the go to product now? Why is one low cost generic favoured over another?
All drugs have the potential for adverse reactions and hydroxychoroquine has its own set of hazards, especially with patients with diagnosed and undiagnosed cardiac health issues. The drug presents serious risk of harm to too many people if administered as some want.

16 hours ago, Antonymous said:Very interesting study with promising conclusions.
The surprising thing is that such studies get airtime at all in the face of overwhelming bias (and consequent censorship of other views) towards the prevailing narrative that vaccines are the only hope.
I trust that more of such findings will emerge before the world is forced into mandatory vaccination of an insufficiently tested serums.
And I hope to see more attention placed on remedies that have been suggested but then falsely reported in the media and ridiculed. For example did you see that there's a new, very encouraging report based on an analysis of all studies already conducted that shows that hydroxychloroquine is consistently effective against Covid-19? Big surprise huh.
You can watch this short Sky News Aus news report on it here before giving a knee jerk reaction:
https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6189052525001
"Sky News host Rowan Dean says the jury is in and says categorically “Hydroxychloroquine saves lives” and Australians must be given access to the drug. Mr Dean said Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly, along with his deputy Nick Coatsworth and Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen “stand condemned” for their continuous rejections of the drug. Mr Dean said “the jury says very clearly, if you look at all the studies … Hydroxychloroquine is consistently effective against COVID-19 when used early and in the right combination with other drugs."
In one statement you are critical of vaccines and "insufficiently tested serums", but then you offer your support for an unproven commercial product. The vaccines you dismiss will undergo rigorous clinical trials and research using proven scientific methods and yet here you want the world to embrace one company's product.
You claim the media does not provide access to the studies that matter. Well, how about reading the citations provided in the article? if you did you would see that they really do not offer definitive evidence.
Your double standard is offensive to anyone with common sense. The investigation is sponsored by the product manufacturer and has manufacturer participation. If a pharmaceutical manufacturer did this, you would probably be screaming of a big pharma conspiracy. Apparently it is ok if done by a Swiss multinational because it calls itself a "health products" company.
There is a reason why the study is focused on one company's product and not the active ingredient of the plant product itself.
- Echinaforce was initially promoted as means to protect against the common cold. Unfortunately, there wasn't really any clinical evidence to support the claim. Oh sure, there are a handful of papers that suggest that it helps, but a handful means little. The results are not repeated or proven multiple times. Maybe it can help. If so, it would require years of study.
-You are dismissive of vaccines which have thousands of supportive studies, but you want people to accept a product based upon a manufacturer's promotion? Seriously????
- What's changed since the last meta review of 2013? At that time, only 1 of 7 studies showed a reduction in duration of infection of upper respiratory tract infections when echinacea was used. One study and it is accepted as a cure.
- There are no significant studies that support the use of echinacea for the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections. However, there are 4 studies (cited in this article) that suggest that echinacea can reduce by 10% to 20% the risk for recurrent respiratory infections.
- Yes the product shows benefits in a lab setting. So too does bleach and UV light .
IMO, all that we have here is a company trying to repurpose one of its product to take advantage of the current Covid19 crisis. This nonsense has been circulating since March. I am certain there will be hundreds of gullible fools who will rush out to purchase the product in hopes of having a miracle prevention or a cure.
Not going to happen.

We all feel for a person who's legitimate business investment disintegrates. However, one must be delusional to expect a government bailout or substantive support for a restaurant business.
- Restaurants come and go. It is an industry segment characterized by instability.
- The restaurant is failing because there are no customers. Offering the restaurant a support payment just delays the inevitable collapse because customers will be in short supply for the next 3-6 months+.
- The business was an investment. Investments have risk. An investor cannot expect the general public to bail out a failed personal investment.
- Granting a lease payment deferral is a matter between the landlord and the tenant. The landlord has expenses to pay as well, including debt service. If the debt is not serviced, the financial institution cannot meet its obligation to pay interest or annuities to depositors and other customers.
- Restaurants are not long term social capital assets and are easily replaced depending upon market changes. Cooks, chefs, waiters are easily found and /or trained compared to skilled manufacturing workers, or R&D workers. If this was a business that provided employment for skilled labour, or contributed to the technological advancement of society as do high tech or R&D based operations, then yes a case could be made to support the intellectual capital investment.
Sorry to say, but this was a personal investment in a land where restaurants are everywhere. No one will miss a restaurant. Society will will suffer from the loss of a medical equipment manufacturer, or aerospace engineering firm, or even a cement producer.

I went to Bhutan in around 1982 and remember paying US$100 per day then.
However, the above link also states:
But that’s where I was totally wrong. In fact, your daily fee covers everything, and once you are in the country you do not pay a single penny.
Still, I'm not suggesting that Thailand copies the Bhutanese model exactly, only to be considered as a guide.
Use common sense. One can do alot of things when the number is small. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can be used. Look at the forum posts from the angry people lamenting Thailand's visa restrictions. Bhutan's requirements and laws are far stricter. Ask them if they would accept tougher visa rules. Thailand is easy street in comparison to Bhutan.

There is nothing suspicious. what do you define as a "recovery?
There are some who criticize, as seen here:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/18/health-experts-criticise-uk-failure-track-recovered-covid-19-cases
And there are others who believe that the Approach of the UK and some other countries not to record "recoveries" at this point is honest. Is one recovered if one develops a predisposition to heart attack and stroke due to the impact of the disease?
Yale medical school just released an eye opener of a study that supports the view that a SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasion,forces neurons to multiply, but doesn’t destroy them. Instead, this massive replication greatly inhibits the oxygen supplied to adjacent cells, causing them to wither and die. These results provide evidence for the neuroinvasive capacity of SARS-CoV-2, and an unexpected consequence of direct infection of neurons by SARS-CoV-2 according to the study.
this may account in large part for the brain fog many "recovered" patients report long after the virus is detectable. These people have not fully recovered. we won't know for probably a year or more who has recovered.
It's wonderful that you wish to criticize the UK, but Thailand will be relying on the knowledge and expertise of these farangs if it wishes to have a viable vaccine and treatments. To date, all of the medical knowledge available to Thailand is farang sourced, so I suggest that you exercise some restraint.

Instead Floyd's family and other tax payers in Minnesota will actually be funding the fired cops retirement pension when he starts to collect it.
The police officers here are subject to a collective agreement and pension fun regulations which protect their pensions.
- They come under the Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association pension agreement
- Chuavin, the principal accused, is eligible for his pension at age 50 valued at US $1.5 million+ over a 30-year period (COLA and top up payments are in addition)
- Minnesota is not a state that requires forfeiture of the pension. (The pension is paid in part by the employee, investment returns and mostly by employer contribution)
The family can bring civil damage litigation and a criminal conviction is almost a certain guarantee of a plaintiff winning the civil suit. The issue that arises is whether or not the pension could be seized in whole or in part. Only the federal government is allowed to do that (in part) for taxes. Also allowed is partial seizure for alimony and child support. If the accused declare bankruptcy, there will be nothing to seize.
Of interest will be who is obliged to pick up the legal fees of the accused. it will run into the millions. I expect the taxpayers will be paying this.

So, let's just confirm, you support the illegal destruction of protected forest lands, the eviction of poor farmers and the violation of undertakings not to militarize the region, so that the Chinese can build a large army and naval base. The "resort" is integrated into the much larger military installation.
