We have had the common flu, another corona-virus, around for 200 years, even with vaccines we still get it. https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/11/05/covid-why-we-will-never-eradicate-coronavirus-15132 sure, however I was responding a post about eradication of this current mutant virus, and cited that there are studies (peer reviewed) stating at least 7 yrs for this dominant mutation, with vaccines which have a 60-95 % efficacy The "common" flu vaccine is a combination of generally 4 strains, and changes each year, althoug 2019-20 figures for infection are at an alltime low in high vaccine and social distancing adherent countries.

Popular Post skorp13 Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 Plenty of "entertainment workers still in Pattaya as my Line explodes but being out the other night it did look pretty grim. Hopefully as vaccines roll out and prove to be effective in the coming months things will change including vaccination passports and a valid reason to restrict quarantine measures. Lets just try to stay optimistic folks 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondeelove1 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Pattaya will recover, and probably much quicker than people are saying. Thai people are good at spotting any opportunity that makes a living.

I think you are right for the two week holiday gang......as much as we 'locals' see the horrors of air pollution, poor safety records, atrocious driving, corrupt police, scams.......etc.......your average holiday maker is totally oblivious to all that and only sees tropical beaches, bars and stunningly sexy women.

Jonathan Swift Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 18 hours ago, onebir said: To paraphrase another thread: Apparently it's "not falling" because while property's being sold at lower prices, it's only a small amount compared the stuff sitting unsold. (I kid you not.) To take it one step further, no one is going to lose money if they don't actually sell the properties. As such you can put any lunatic price on something if you know it's not going to sell. So as logic would have it, the price is 2022 price, not today's, so no worries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A courtyard of 3 buildings of 4 floors each. I'd say out of the rooms there, maybe 20% are actually occupied - at most. Typically these big rooms with air con, reasonable bathroom size and rear balcony cooking area, rent for 4,000 Baht per month. Ideal for two or more ladies to share. More luxury and expensive or poorly located places are just completely deserted. 20 hours ago, soi3eddie said: When I go to Pattaya these days (about once a month), I stay at a typical Thai apartment building just off third road.

The efficacy will be seen fairly soon in various countries, and cotonavirus type vaccines have been researched for several decades and approved in many countries for many decades. The 'isolation' and purification' of a corona virus has never been done, yet suddenly there are 'vaccines' available. I'll tell you why more healthy eating, VitD, VitF and zinc were never mentioned at the start. Because of pressure from Big Pharma (BP) and the doctors and scientists that have been bribed, bought and compromised by them. What is the point of having a healthy population (from a BP viewpoint)? Follow the money. Look who is to gain. Efficacy? You are pulling my toe. No-one knows what will happen down the line. Corona viruses have been researched for decades - as you say - but most were ditched when the animals died. These injections, have by-passed the animal studies. The ones taking the jab(s), are the Guinea Pigs in this. Please don't be fooled. These are experimental medicines. There is one poster on TVF that has studied Immunology, and worked in the science field for decades. I was there (Whitechapel Hospital) at the same time; my bag being Sport Science). I don't wish to break any TVForum rules so PM for the Scientific papers. And I am NOT saying 'don't have the jab', or c@v1d-19, is a hoax.

BusyB Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I find this quite heartbreaking. I've had some great times in Pattaya and am quite fond of the place - much prefer it to Phuket. I always found it more laid back and less venal when it came to the cash and still have (had basically) some good contacts and friends there.

Considering the amount of shade many of these posters like to cast on places like Pattaya and Phuket perhaps it's karma. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
