Boris Johnson Questions the Effectiveness of 'Medieval' Lockdowns in Covid Fight
Hard to say how little value or meaning I place in Boris Johnson's contrarian memoir musings on the COVID pandemic, especially considering he had always been a reluctant figure for the UK's on-again, off-again measures aimed at protecting the public from COVID, and ended up losing his job in part because of his COVID-era misdeeds. In case anyone needs any reminders: "In the Partygate scandal it was found that numerous parties had been held at 10 Downing Street during national COVID-19 lockdowns, and COVID-19 social distancing laws were breached by 83 individuals, including Johnson, who in April 2022 was issued with a fixed penalty notice. The publishing of the Sue Gray report in May 2022 and a widespread sense of dissatisfaction led in June 2022 to a vote of confidence in his leadership amongst Conservative MPs, which he won. In July 2022, revelations over his appointment of Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip of the party while knowing of allegations of sexual misconduct against him led to a mass resignation of members of his government and to Johnson announcing his resignation as prime minister." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson# Then as to the specifics of Johnson's role in the COVID response: "The COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a serious crisis within the first few months of Johnson's second term.[414] Johnson's non-attendance of five COBR briefings during the early months and the failure of the UK government to prepare for and control the outbreak has been criticised.[415][416][417] The UK was among the last major[clarification needed] European states to close schools, ban public events and order a lockdown.[418][419] This response is thought by some scientists to have contributed to the UK's high death toll from COVID-19, which as of January 2021 was among the highest in the world.[420 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson#COVID-19_pandemic "Johnson, who contracted the coronavirus himself, was blamed by many scientists for acting too slowly to stop the initial spread in the spring. As Reuters reported earlier this year, behind this tragedy lay a failure to spot the infection as it arrived, to stamp it out with an early lockdown and to implement effective tracing and isolation of cases, as pioneered in Asia and used to effect in Germany." ... Now, an investigation by Reuters has exposed how lessons from the first wave were not learned, and why England once again was forced into a drastic lockdown. New measures were put in place – a rapid increase in testing capacity, for example. But the government’s failure to share full data on the disease’s spread with local authorities and the public gave a false impression of success. This concealed what one health expert called an “iceberg” of infection and led to a relaxation of social restrictions too soon in some places." https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/health-coronavirus-britain-newwave/ Scientists turn on Boris Johnson over UK’s coronavirus response Top adviser says the country’s death toll could have been halved if it had gone into lockdown one week earlier. June 10, 2020 ... "The U.K. government is facing mounting criticism over its handling of the pandemic, specifically that lockdown measures were imposed too late, that testing and protective equipment for medical staff were not widely available quickly enough, and that the government failed to protect vulnerable residents of care homes." https://www.politico.eu/article/scientists-turn-on-boris-johnson-over-uks-coronavirus-response-covid-19/ And then to top it off, Johnson in the above Daily Telegraph report channels Donald Trump in "his belief that Covid-19 likely originated from a laboratory leak in China, rather than from a wildlife market" -- which is contrary to what most researchers in the field are reported to believe, and contrary to what continuing scientific research has suggested, though the issue continues to be debated on both sides without a clear resolution. COVID pandemic started in Wuhan market animals after all, suggests latest study The finding comes from a reanalysis of genomic data. 20 September 2024 "The hunt for the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic has new leads. Researchers have identified half a dozen animal species that could have passed SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, to people, by reanalysing genomes collected from an animal market in Wuhan, China1. The study establishes the presence of animals and the virus at the market, although it does not confirm whether the animals themselves were infected with the virus. Many of the earliest cases of COVID-19 were linked to the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, and so it became a focus in the search for the pandemic’s origin. The study, published in Cell today, is the latest in a series of analyses of the market samples. The researchers argue that their reanalysis adds more weight to the market being the site of the first spillover events, in which animals with the virus infected people, sparking the pandemic. This expands on a preliminary analysis on a subset of the China CDC data, which the same team published in March 2023." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03026-9 Virologists and epidemiologists back natural origin for COVID-19, survey suggests First large scientific opinion poll about “lab leak” causes fresh furor on social media 6 Feb 2024 No scientific dispute has ever been resolved by an opinion poll, and plenty of famous researchers have been on the wrong side of scientific history. But a group of risk experts has found a new angle on one of the most hotly contested science issues of our time—where the SARS-CoV-2 virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic came from—by conducting what it calls the first systematic survey of scientific opinion on the matter. The report, posted online on Friday, suggests virologists and other scientists with relevant expertise favor the view that the pandemic began when a natural virus jumped from an animal to a human, not because of an accident in a research lab studying or manipulating coronaviruses. The survey, like every other morsel of information around the pandemic’s origin, triggered a fierce debate on social media, where the report was both praised as “an important global survey” and panned as a “fake study.” https://www.science.org/content/article/virologists-and-epidemiologists-back-natural-origin-covid-19-survey-suggests The OP report based on an article from the long COVID skeptic Daily Telegraph newspaper includes the following dubious comment on the lab leak issue: "This theory, long championed by figures like Donald Trump, has gained more credibility over time, with the FBI recently stating that it believes the virus most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab." Of course, what the same OP report here does NOT report is the following more meaningful contribution on the subject: US intelligence report on COVID-19 origins rejects some points raised by lab leak theory proponents June 24, 2023 "WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials released an intelligence report Friday that rejected some points raised by those who argue COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab, instead reiterating that American spy agencies remain divided over how the pandemic began. ... Four agencies still believe the virus was transferred from animals to humans, and two agencies — the Energy Department and the FBI — believe the virus leaked from a lab. The CIA and another agency have not made an assessment." [emphasis added] https://apnews.com/article/covid19-united-states-intelligence-china-23dcbde0be5638556739b564ece97027 -

Medicare v Private Health Insurance - Different strategies - Are you covered?
I have Medibank private health cover as if I don't have it I need to pay tax surcharge. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it if I don't have to pay the surcharge. The public health system seems adequate for non-elective treatments. For Thailand I have travel insurance with unlimited medical cover and evacuation, the current one is 9 months. -

Thai Airways Files Restructuring Plan: Eyes 2025 Relisting
Thai Airways International (THAI) will submit its restructuring plan to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on Monday. This move is crucial for the airline's exit from business rehabilitation, a process it has been navigating for the past four years. Chai Eamsiri, the airline's President, described the submission as the first step in revamping the organisation. The 2,000-page document encompasses business plans and aircraft procurement, aimed at restoring investor confidence post-rehabilitation. "We are confident it will bolster investors' confidence," Eamsiri said on Saturday. Most creditors have already shown support for the rehabilitation plan. The airline's restructuring strategy focuses on increasing investor confidence through an extensive capital restructuring, maintaining a strong cash flow, and potentially appointing a new committee if there is a change in shareholders. The plan includes converting debt into equity, offering shares to pre-rehabilitation shareholders, employees, and through private placements, expected in December. Following these steps, a formal request to exit the rehabilitation plan will be filed with the Central Bankruptcy Court after February. The airline aims to resume trading its shares by the second quarter of next year. Trading in THAI shares was suspended in May 2021 due to negative equity and compliance issues. The company was given until 2025 to address these challenges. Thai Airways had previously filed for bankruptcy protection, with a court-approved rehabilitation plan in place since October 2022. Total liabilities stood at 200 billion baht as of September 2020. As a part of its rehabilitation strategy, the airline has halved its workforce to around 10,000 and reduced its fleet from roughly 100 aircraft to 64. The company also capitalised on sales of aircraft and other assets, including its THAI Catering food division, reported Bangkok Post. Financial performance has shown improvement. In the first half of 2024, THAI reported a net profit of 2.7 billion baht, with revenue hitting 89.9 billion baht, a 14% increase compared to the previous year. Thai Airways remains optimistic that its meticulous planning and restructuring will help it exit from rehabilitation and mark a robust return to financial health.

Any benefits in antibiotics
Not sex related, but I used Amoxycillin, over the counter in Thailand, many times, to cure pain from an infected (cracked) tooth. In the end it was too late. An extraction and implant was the answer. High cost but all good now. -

Horrible Offensive Trump Commercial
Your attempt at sarcasm does you no credit. I have never claimed such as you likely know very well, and there was nothing in the post you quoted to support that false claim. Had Sessions not been a <deleted>, there is no telling what Trump may have been able to achieve. Trump should have sacked him the same day the <deleted> recused himself. -
