Game over
Covid-19 is not a vascular disease. You have sent us an article published in the media that talks about a study from San Diego University which supposedly affirms that “covid-19 is not a respiratory but a vascular disease”. This is FALSE. As the World Health Organisation has explained, most of the infections affect the respiratory system, although they can also have implications in other organs. The study cited by the article does not deny such a thing, but rather deepens into how SARS-CoV2 affects the circulatory system. Covid-19 is is an infectious respiratory disease that can manifest itself in multiple ways, but in most people it causes mild to moderate respiratory symptoms, according to organisations such as the Spanish Ministry of Health and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition to affecting the respiratory system, the coronavirus has implications for other systems, including the cardiovascular one. This has been detected before. What the paper in question provides are details of how it reaches the blood vessels. In other words, this is "additional, concomitant, non-exclusive data", that is, it is not intended to convey the idea that covid-19 is a vascular disease, but rather to emphasise "the very systemic and multi-organ involvement that covid-19 produces", he concludes. "In the paper they highlight how the vessels are disrupted, endothelial dysfunction is documented, but this does not give it an aetiological exclusivity (this is not solely the cause of the disease) nor is it the only mechanism responsible for many of the covid symptoms," says Cequier, who believes that saying that the conclusion is that it is a vascular disease is "a bit of a superficial interpretation". Why is it not exclusively vascular? Vascular diseases are those in which the arteries or veins are affected and, in most cases, also the blood flows, either by blockage or weakening of the vessels or by damage to the valves in the veins. Although covid-19 sometimes affects the heart and circulatory system with thrombi, it is not a vascular disease. If it were, says Cequier, "it would cause acute myocardial infarctions, or many arterial embolism, both of which are rare in covid," he argues. What is more common is that through the whole inflammatory cascade that takes place after an infection and is a consequence of the immune system, "very diffuse" damage is produced and ends up affecting the heart, which can lead to "an alteration of the coagulation system" and, therefore, to "an increased risk of thrombi formation, which is associated in turn with thromboembolism", concludes the cardiologist. https://www.verificat.cat/en/covid-19-is-not-a-vascular-disease/ -

Illegal Foreign Guide Assaults Chinese Tourist at Jewelry Store
Yes thanks for that, I just googled it before, not sure who receives the fee though. And one criteria is knowing Thai history as written by them no doubt. -

Transfer car from my company to me - Is there a way to avoid or reduce VAT?
Nope, the very last one bites the dust - that is the whole idea of VAT. The final end user, beneficiary, whatever you want to call it, pays the tax on all the "value addition" since creation, import etc. The only accounting advantage could be that, if the friend has a company and books the car(s) as assets, then he can also mark 7% VAT as input tax. As a private individual there is no avoidance or possibility of refund (unless the cars would get exported for good). The VAT always* applies and can a positive or negative amount. 500 = purchased new by the first buyer 35 = VAT of 7% added on the above 535 = price paid by first buyer The 35 go, in this example, as input VAT into the seller's tax listing to be net balanced by the end of each month and result in settling a payment or enjoying a tax credit (for the next month) 100 = is the price the above article gets sold on (i.e. a loss of 400) 7 = VAT of 7% added on the above 107 = price paid by the second buyer (or revenue for the seller, i.e. the first buyer) This results in a tax credit of 28 to the benefit of the first buyer. *the VAT applies only to products, on which something has been done; fresh unprocessed meat or veggies are VAT-free, a sausage or a plate of cooked veggies in a restaurant are subject to VAT. To complicate matters; if you give it away free of charge (say, a hotel gives you a lucky draw award of a free suite with breakfast), then the 7% of the walk-in price still applies. If you have a restaurant and offer free drinks (i.e because you goofed up in the kitchen), then the revenue department is not accepting that. With non-measurable units (i.e. a glass of house wine) or a scoop of ice cream out of the two kilogrammes pail - no issue as the revenue department will never find out. But if you offer a round of beer in stubbies, you give away 10 stubbies with zero revenue which you initially bought. A physical stock control would reveal, that the stock is 10 bottles short of the sales figure. Having had restaurants, I usually just threw in a few boxes of beer on a just-in-case-basis, which happened years later. There were still stock deviations in the individual product listing (buying two cases of Heineken to cover 7 Singha, 12 Leo, 15 San Miguel Light, 9 Asahi and 3 Tiger). As you can see, there are still two stubbies too many in the stock and my accountant explained, that this happens often as staff open the wrong bottles at times. -

I Love Donald Trump
Sadly, there are some people in this world, who, unfortunately have severe mental problems, and can even become dangerous if they ever, in life, find themselves in any sort of position of power. trump is one of them, and his best way to handle this person, would be in a place where he can receive proper mental health treatment. Perhaps a secure room, in a hospital that specializes in this area of mental health would be ideal for him. A doctor, with the help of some well trained nurses, could, pick him up from his residence, put him gently into a straight jacket, give him a warm drink, and take him, by ambulance to said hospital. He will probably need life time treatment, so best to leave him there in capable hands. Oh, and give him some kiddy toys to play with, something to keep his mind occupied.- 1

Gun permit, licens
I don´t think so. Might be about the last sentence, but that was just deserved sarcasm. You go on about a gun, as it seems to be very important for you. Must be that you feel unsecure not having one in Thailand. Then, better pick up the sticks and run to Mexico. You can probably get a gun in Colombia as well, and there you might also have a need for it. 😉 Regarding killing your pet? Was that why you needed a gun?- 1
