TheJournal.ie - FactCheck: Did the creator of PCR tests say they don't work for Covid-19?

Well no George.

Mulis died last year before the C19 was released.

Milus said technique could not diagnose ANY virus.

At any time, about 70 trillion virus are in/on a human.

A lot of hand-waving going on.

Nothing behind the curtain folks.

Do as you are told.

At the moment I have some friends in Pattaya on holiday they can drive out as it stands today, best to get out of there if they can, 

Getting out was easy, getting in was a bit more difficult, but not that hard.

 

The bigger worry is if they shut down airports, bus terminals and highways so you can't get back to your province.  I think that happened in Phuket, right?

But so far Pattaya is not shut down, the last time as far as I know, apart from essential services, no one could leave or enter Pattaya.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

This had nothing to do with entering Pattaya. After restaurants and bars were closed people bought the booze at supermarkets and were drinking together with others on the beach, in front of the shops and at other places. So no masks and no social distancing. That was stopped with the alcohol ban.

Just wondering .... when will the Thai Health Authority RELEASE HCQ for OTC sales ??? plus I don't mind REGENERON if the price is " affordable "  like : below B. 1,000.- ???

HCQ itself is only B. 750.- but the " test & lab.svc " plus doctor's & nurse's FEES in any hospital can jack up your " Farang Cost " to B. 10,000.-  ......

Please, don't recommend HCQ for CV19.  It's been proven not to work and actually may cause more harm.

 

Regeneron is massively expensive and impossible to get here.

Pattaya is in shutdown, which applies to businesses and some public places.

 

Pattaya isnt in lockdown yet, which applies to people and travel etc.

Yep they first closed the island off then we had lockdowns upon lockdowns in every tamboon 

At the moment they are not allowing the Burmese to leave Phuket

I have also got songs made in to different playlists, can you back them all up on some sort of exterior hard drive like you do with movies? The input is different.

I had a friend go back during the last lock down.  They were checked a few times along the way, but no biggie according to them.  Jomtien to CM....

I am referring to what happened the last time, as far as I understand, there were road blocks in and out of Pattaya, I do stand to be corrected though.

There certainly were road blocks going in... I went through them, but don't recall any going out. They didn't really last all that long.

Yes, totally blocked off.  You have to prove you lived inside the lock down area, or couldn't get in.  Though one time we went by, nary a soul manning the checkpoint.  You could just drive through.  I think it was around lunch...go figure...

Got it. That hasn't happened yet, though maybe 2 weeks into the new year that might come as well, since after new year migrations, the numbers are certainly going to go up dramatically.

 

So let's enjoy the holidays and freedom of movement. It ain't gonna last long.

There was some form you had to fill in and show I recall. And you only had to show you were local, not necessarily living in the centre ... perhaps all Banglamung.

Yes, that's where I was getting mixed up, traffic were allowed to leave but not enter.

I have business in Pattaya in about two weeks, hope I can get in then.

[Peterw42]

I just checked with my wife and my usual travel restrictions are still in place. I cant travel from jomtien to pattaya alone at night, 2-3 gentlemen's clubs in Jomtien are also on the restricted travel list

For safety reasons it makes sense

if the 7\11 are the only shops open all night long

in deserted and dark streets, they are most exposed

to attacks and robbery, not only for the money they have

but also for the alcool and cigarettes stocks.

Unfortunately few examples of it in the past before the curfew went in effect

Yes, the crime rate, not just in Thailand, must be well up, if someone is seen committing or in the vicinity of a crime and wearing a mask which is not uncommon in these times, no witnesses are going to be able to point them out, so it is going to be very hard for the police to charge them.

In short, if someone is committing a crime and has a mask on, he/she is unlikely to be charged unless caught in the act, or leaves some sort of evidence behind. I wonder why we never seem to see any reports on this.

It's these idiotic statements that just prolong this pandemic. It amazes me that people will ignore mainstream media but get all their "knowledge" from memes, qanon and other nonsensical alt-right websites.

mainstream media is full of it
