I was there Friday waiting hours in line just to get a number and told to return today Monday, So back again for two hours and finally getting processed inside, but they'll keep my passport until tomorrow when I have to go back a third time. I pray that this sorry circus of an Immigration Office is not a reflection of how the country is organized and governed. Meanwhile, I hope I don't get stopped somewhere without my passport and proof of stay, stamps and signatures, getting arrested by some ignorant cop who doesn't speak English.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not many people partying in Naklua. Even during normal times you can find a deserted bar. Plenty of places are open in and around central and full of people partying it up big time so maybe show photos of those places for proper perspective. A cross section may be seeing more patrons, but what is the overall picture? I agree. Perhaps they could show Pattaya Tree Town, Soi Buakeow watering holes and the ghosts of others not so fortunate.

'If someone dies in circumstances involving an accident, violence or suspicious circumstances, the case is referred to a coroner for investigation. A post-mortem examination is carried out and usually an inquest is held. The Coroner's Court hears all the evidence and follows legal rules of evidence when deciding the causes of death. It is extremely unlikely that a coroner would find that someone was involved in a traffic accident, or was the victim of violence, because of having COVID-19 or a positive COVID-19 test -- so they would not mention COVID-19 on the death certificate. This applies to any death caused by an accident, violence, poisoning, or other external causes' https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/whetherthosewhohavediedfromacaraccidentwithcovid19willbecountedinonsstatistics This is from the UK but I can't imagine it's much different in the US. A similar approach is indeed taken in the USA --- See https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/how-are-covid-19-deaths-counted-it-s-complicated "For those who die — from a heart attack, for instance — the role of COVID-19 might never be determined unless there’s a reason to run a post-mortem test for the disease, Raja explains. As for those killed by traumas such as accidents and assaults, a test wouldn’t matter. “Whether or not you have COVID isn’t going to change your cause of death when you get hit by a car,” he says." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 5 hours ago, webfact said: They reported that operators feared that the Covid-19 numbers would increase again when Pattaya is designated as a "sandbox" from February 1st. Pattay operators have been screaming to re-open for the last 9 months, yet those that have opened legally or otherwise have proven protocols go out the window... so yes the numbers will definitely increase.?

They can't show pictures of sex workers as they do not officially exist IN LOS. Empty bars in Naklua prove that there is no prostitution on the Eastern Seaboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaibook Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Jingthing said: No they won't because they'll know the stats showing massive numbers of global deaths. Not sure about the world but in the UK some 700,000 people die every year. About 178,000 have died of covid according to official statistics. However, when asked specific questions this turns out to be people who have died with covid not from covid. Over teh tow years only 17,371 have died purely from covid. Not only that but the average age of people dying from/with covid is over 82 while the life expectancy in th eUK is around 81.5. Someone without a good grasp of statistics might say that covid allows people to live longer than the average! Also in British hospitals over 40% of patients with covid are being treated for conditions totally unrelated to covid and in London it is close to 60%. All in all the way the numbers have been communicated are purposefully to scare people into believing this virus will undermine civilisation and the uncivilised countries around the world and lead to as many or more deaths than Spanish flu. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 No doubt, we can only know the total number of people infected if they were tested properly. As long as there are people there will be infections. The hope is that deaths will decline as weaker variations come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common cold has not killed more than 5 million people in less than two years. Not really similar at all. More than 5 million people worldwide have died from Covid-19 less than two years after the novel pathogen was first documented, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-01/covid-deaths-top-5-million-even-as-vaccines-slash-fatality-rate And to be honest, we have to say that nobody really knows how many people died since the counting procedures change from country to country, change with the wind within a same country, do not distinguish between "from", "with", or even "without" Covid, and finally do not give us the demographics and prior conditions. This, without wanting to diminish the tragedy and drama of dying attached to a respirator without the touch of a loved one. But I will stop here as we are going off topic.

Facemasks are useless against viruses - especially how they are used in the public! Testing with PCR is useless because it cannot indicate infections (masic microbiology knowledge!). Studies show that there is no asymptomatic infection possible - study from China. Let the people train their immunity and give back freedom. All u say proves only what happened when using those measures ...... Only if those measures would not being taken could show us it was useful or not , so a useless comparison of yours as this second factor is unknown ...!

Oh yes it is, yes it is. NY state used to count as covid-19 death a person who died from injuries of a car crash, if he could not be attended to as doctors were involved with the (more lucrative for the hospital, sorry to say) Covid patients, even if said deceased was not tested for Covid. Belgium: all retirement home deaths were automatically classified as Covid, without testing. And so on. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
