Flash Flood Claims Lives of Two Tourists at Wang Lung Waterfall
Two domestic tourists from Phuket lost their lives on October 11, due to a sudden flash flood at Wang Lung Waterfall in Thon Hong Subdistrict, Phrom Khiri District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The tragedy unfolded in the afternoon as a group of five friends gathered to attend a wedding and rented a resort nearby. According to witnesses, the group decided to take a dip in the waterfall, unaware of the rapidly changing weather conditions that led to the unexpected surge of water. As they were enjoying their time, a sudden rush of water overwhelmed the area, sweeping two of the tourists away. Local authorities and rescue teams were quickly mobilised to search for the missing individuals. The bodies of the two tourists were later recovered, while the other three managed to escape to safety. This incident has cast a shadow over what was intended to be a joyful occasion, highlighting the potential dangers of natural attractions, especially during periods of heavy rainfall. Officials are urging visitors to exercise caution and stay informed about weather conditions when enjoying outdoor activities. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to this devastating event. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-12 -

Thai High-Risk Groups Urged to Get Covid-19 Boosters
Medical experts in Thailand are advising high-risk groups to receive boosters for Covid-19, given a recent surge in cases and fatalities. This push comes in light of new data revealing approximately 700,000 infections and 205 Covid-related deaths in 2023, positioning Thailand as having the highest infection and death rates for Covid-19 in Southeast Asia. Assoc Prof Dr Piroon Mootsikapun, President of the Infectious Diseases Association of Thailand, highlighted that the current wave of Covid-19 is hitting the nation harder than any other country in the region. Most concerning are the fatalities in the so-called 608 high-risk group, which includes those aged 60 and older, individuals with chronic health conditions, and pregnant women. Dr Piroon emphasised the severity of Covid-19 compared to influenza, pointing out that the infection rate and death toll are significantly higher. "Of the Covid-19 fatalities, 80-90% were in the 608 risk group," he noted. Prof Dr Sasisopin Kiertiburanakul, from the Royal College of Physicians of Thailand, echoed the call for vaccinations, stressing the importance of boosters in preventing severe illness. The current booster shots are reported to offer 60-70% effectiveness in reducing hospitalisations and deaths among the most vulnerable. Reports of Long Covid, which can affect other organs and significantly impact health post-recovery, were found in 15% of Covid-19 patients. Given this, the boosters gain added importance. Community advocates, like Tanapol Dokkaew from the Kidney Friends Association of Thailand, are urging the government to ensure a steady supply of vaccines, particularly for high-risk individuals. “Covid-19 is here to stay, so booster shots are crucial, especially for the 608 group,” he commented, urging continued vigilance amidst increasing complacency, reported Bangkok Post.

German Politician Calls for Ban on Greta Thunberg Over Pro-Palestinian Protest Involvement
Yes, Greta, strange person, should be banned. Also introduce a law allowing people to run over those far left protestors (Greta's friends) blocking roadways. People need to get to work to earn a wage to feed their families. -

The news team need to update these reports as and when. unlike many reports which are never updated. This is a good example: Bentley driver 'was on drugs’ The Bentley driver involved in an expressway collision that left eight people injured on Sunday was found to have narcotic substances in his system, police said on Friday, citing the results of a blood test. The Bentley driver initially tried to hail a taxi to leave the scene but was stopped by first responders, who said he appeared intoxicated. He declined to blow into a breathalyser at the scene, claiming the impact of an airbag after the crash had left him with chest pains. -

Honeymoon Period Over for Kamala Harris Polls Show Tight Race
With trump being devils incarnate, and democrats having unlimited funds and the media on their side, its understandably frustrating to see news like this. Trump should have no chance, and yet kamala needs to be propped up to appear like a suitable candidate. What can one say about this, other than it is what it is -
