One shot person will curb Covid-19 more efficiently

because he'll be dead .. which quite oftens happens after getting shot .. 

Really the headline could've been framed a bit less leading ..

If it mentioned 'a shot in the arm' we'd still have to ask if it would make them left-handed.

Good morning from me. And good wishes to all the posters says me and Mr Owl.

 

He has many pictures to share with you once his holiday has ended in a couple of days; at 32 minutes past five in the afternoon I believe.

 

Mr Owl has asked me to post a picture for him. The note with the email said that he had finished cleaning out the furnace. I have no idea what became of the rubbish. But as Mr Owl would put it; 'watch this space.'.

I'm glad he's due to be out on parole at last.

My wife has just informed me that the village "wise woman" has died.She was 93 or thereabouts as elderly Thai people are somewhat hazy as to birthdays.

You say elderly Thai people are vague about birthdays.

I remember thirty years ago hardly any Thais could remember their birthday, as so few people celebrated them.They just weren't important.

It occurs to me (being cynical) birthday parties might be a foreign concept which have become popular in more recent years, especially when there's a 'sponsor' willing to pay.

“After receiving the vaccine, DDC and FDA will follow up by injecting patients for four weeks to ensure they don’t have side-effects.

How does injecting patients for four weeks ensure they don't have side effects?

I was more worried about the size of the needle required, needing that long just for one injection -'injecting patients for four weeks'

If they were cured, you can bet your bottom dollar they'd be on sale in the meat market.

Lovely pictures Mr Odysseus

 

Mr Owl has passed a couple pictures on to me for posting.

I'm assuming he sent them telepathically?

(from the link above)

"However, local residents also reported that a homeless man had been seen regularly using the back of the building as a shelter, where he was protected from wind and rain on three sides.

It is believed that the man, estimated to be 55-60 years old, may have inadvertently started the fire by leaving a candle or lit incense unattended."

Seems fairly unlikely to me that a single candle outside a shophouse (presumably concrete) could ignite the building so easily?

Perhaps he's an easy scapegoat.

Apologies, this month was 72 Baht, must have had an extra shower one week. Believe me now?

How come you have a hand-written bill?

All the PWA bills I've ever had are printed on a PWA headed bill, with multiple reference numbers for invoice number, account number, etc.

(from the link to Phuket News article)

"Quarantine at home (Home Quarantine) or a hotel (Hotel Quarantine) under the supervision of the communicable disease control officer for a period of 14 days."

Those required to quarantine appear to have the option to do so at home. There's no way this can be monitored 24/7.

As we have seen so many people disregard the rules for their own personal interests, this appears to be a really weak link if Phuket is seriously trying to prevent a covid outbreak.
