Is covid a hoax
The majority of older taxi drivers I encounter still do not wear glasses. It likely explains why so many sit so far forward with their nose almost pressed up against the windscreen. Plenty of Thais wore masks before covid. Not as many as the Japanese, but it was quite common on trains and buses. -

Is covid a hoax
The main reason hospitals appeared empty was, unless you were really sick, why go to a place full of people sick with an easily transmittable illness? Keep in mind that even doctors with full PPE were getting sick and some even dying, from coming into contact with patients. I did need to go to a major hospital in Bangkok in early covid. All the entrances on each floor direct from the car parks were closed except one. The only other entrance was the main hospital entry. You had to complete a questionnaire and have your temperature checked before entering. This was long before covid tests. It was very quiet inside simply because most people didn't want to be even in the same building as anyone with covid. My wife has annual tests she put off for six months for this exact reason. You didn't see people in hospitals with covid because they were kept in isolation wards away from general visitors. In my mooban, five people I know of died from covid within three hundred meters of my house, three I knew well enough to say hello to. Two women in their fifties, and a sixty-year-old lady. They seemed outwardly healthy, but maybe they had some underlying chronic disease I wasn't aware of. A cousin of my wife also died; he was only forty years old, but he was type one diabetic and overweight. Try: Thailand + Covid + Carpark + Hospital This January, where I live in Bangkok, about half the people wore masks due to the PM 2.5 risk. I can remember it being the same in the months just before covid. It was one reason masks were in such short supply even from the very start of covid. I sometimes wonder if the people who deride ever wearing masks because they have healthy immune systems have spent much time in Thailand when dust levels are 100+ for days on end. In ten or twenty years' time, don't be surprised at the increase in people with COPD, due to not taking the simple precaution of wearing a mask when outside at certain times of the year, more so if they engaged in strenuous outdoor exercise. -

Just based on my great experience with Fujitsu General, thirty years ago.... I found this spec sheet for what is on offer from this brand in Thailand. IMHO, the specs are NOT as good as those of Panasonic. Panasonic has great engineering. However, my only problem with Panasonic has been poor execution during manufacture, and not very good customer service, and not very good tech support, and much downtime. So, you can compare these specs from the Fujitsu machine with the equivalent Panasonic machine, and you might see that Panasonic is still better. But, if the downtime is important, and the customer service feedback and response time is important, then even if the Panasonic machine is better, still one must think TWICE. I would consider a General...IF the quality were still the same as it once was....which is a Known UNKNOWN...for me, at this point.... NOTE: IF this is NOT a typo, then if the SEER on the Fujitsu is REALLY only 13.50.....then....NO WAY...Jose...would I ever buy this machine....(This SEER value published in this table MUST be a typo...surely ....!!!!)
