Recent trip to UK with Qatar air- A very sad, heartbreaking visit.
Virtually everyone that does not have health coverage through their job, is covered by a government plan. Almost 20% of the population is covered but Medicaid (welfare), and about another 20% are covered by Medicare (Social Security), that leaves about 60%. About 54% of people have heath insurance through their employer, so how many does that leave? The problem is that the government has made private health insurance unaffordable. The people that get hammered, are people with money and assets, that are self-employed, and do not buy insurance. These people are the ones that go bankrupt. But even then, you have to be provided medical care. And you can not have your primary residence or vehicle taken from you to cover medical bills. -

Health Covid Cases Spike in Thailand: 28,000 New Cases in Just Two Days
Cough just about finished. Stomach muscles feel like their torn. General body aches and pains only lasted a few hours. 400g of ibuprofen a couple of hours before sleep sorted that. Woke up this morning and all general aches and pains were gone. I'm about 90% good but my lungs are still not great. Tomorrow's day four. Now I have natural immunity to this variant so my next exposure I may not even notice. Natural herd immunity is growing rapidly with this variant which is down to it's rapid spread. This spike will be over soon.. -

90 day Non Imm application in the UK
Your place of accommodation will provide you with copy of TM30. Everyone should always check with their hotel etc that a TM30 will be made. As for the bank... A "certificate of residence" COR from immigration should be sufficient. If immigration or bank fuss about a lease show your month booking and you are still in process of choosing location. Is the accom in Bangkok -

Economy Vietnam Faces Tough U.S. Tariff Demands Amidst Complex Trade Dynamics
File photo for reference only In a dynamic trade negotiation update, Reuters has reported that the United States has set forth a series of stringent demands aimed at Vietnam, as part of an effort to curb its dependency on Chinese imports. This diplomatic tightrope walk involves Vietnam managing its relationships with both the U.S. and China, two major economic powers. According to the Reuters report, based on anonymous sources privy to the ongoing discussions, the U.S. has requested Vietnam to reduce its reliance on Chinese materials and enhance regulation of its production and supply chains. These demands are detailed in an annex to a framework prepared by U.S. negotiators, shared shortly after recent trade talks between the two nations. As Vietnam navigates these requests, it is particularly keen on mitigating the impact of a looming 46 percent tariff on its exports to the U.S., a significant threat given that 29 percent of its total exports, accounting for 30 percent of its GDP, head to the American market. A full imposition of this tariff could severely disrupt Vietnam’s export-driven economy. Vietnam has been one of the beneficiaries of trade dynamics during Donald Trump's first term, as multinational companies shifted bases to Vietnam to avoid Chinese tariffs. Consequently, Vietnam's trade surplus with the U.S. has soared. However, this rise in exports has paralleled increased imports from China, complicating the picture of its economic interdependence. Notably, U.S. trade officials have accused Vietnam of facilitating the re-routing of Chinese goods to circumvent tariffs. Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser, labelled Vietnam a "transshipment" hub, which he said functions almost as a Chinese "colony." To resist the U.S. pressure and avoid potentially severe repercussions, Vietnam has suggested measures to address its trade imbalance, including plans to purchase additional American goods such as liquefied natural gas and aircraft. Vietnamese companies are also negotiating a purchase of $2 billion in U.S. agricultural products, and Vietnam Airlines is nearing a deal for Boeing jets. Yet, Reuters sources indicate that these steps may fall short of satisfying U.S. negotiators. The demands from the U.S. pose a substantial challenge for Vietnam. Given its deep integration into Chinese supply chains, any attempt to disentangle could result in reduced U.S. exports, with far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences. It could also strain Vietnam's strategic relations with China, which relies on confidence that Vietnam will not align against it with Western powers. Therefore, while Vietnam is likely to address U.S. concerns over tariff evasion, making binding commitments about its economic relationship with China seems unlikely. Pushing these demands aggressively risks damaging U.S.-Vietnam relations, potentially curtailing the cooperative economic interactions that both nations currently enjoy.

Free Speech or Blasphemy? Court Conviction Sparks Outrage Over Koran Burning Case
Yeah that's why I fled South-West Sydney for Thailand. Hopefully this country never suffers from the mental degradation that has allowed Western countries to be flooded by people who despise their way of life and plan to replace it with their hateful ideology when the population hits critical mass. PS. I have spent a lot of time in Jakarta, Indonesia and a limited amount of time in Malaysia. So I've seen first-hand how awful it is. Prior to visiting those countries I knew almost nothing about Islam and had no pre-conceptions, in case any bleeding heart accuses me of racism or wherever their latest buzzword is.
