  1. One thing is to get him oxymeter, so he can quickly monitor his oxygen level. Happy hypoxia is dangerous so early detection is crucial. Other than that, his young age will protect him, whats more important is for him to ensure he is not infecting others. Knowing when to seek help is also crucial. Im not sure how thailand is managing this but over here, those who are quarantine at home will have to update their symptoms daily on the app, and if experiencing things like difficulty breathing, and signs of blood clot (pain in legs, stomach, head etc), they need to go to emergency asap. Having oxymeter to know oxygen level is also helpful as anything below 95% require medical attention. But since the boy is young, i wont worry much on this. Also to be aware of is the long covid effect, which require doctor's check up from time to time after he is cured. Mental health is also crucial during this period, due to many reasons.

  3. My ass will be destroyed after this (eating spicy food 😉)
  4. Which one do you prefer, cherry or peach? 🍒 Or 🍑
  5. 7 days is more bearable option indeed. Make it 7 days in pattaya and i might be tempted to make effort to go, provided my own country allowed us to travel and returned without mandatory hotel quarantine.
  6. Watched it live but sadly not from the beginning. I think i started watched during the parades of B/F/P countries. Orders of countries is using Japanese alphabetical order. The pictogram and drone part were exceptional! Also lots of excitement when japan was using lots of anime/games music for the parade lol
  7. So will it goes to poorhub uncensored soon?
  8. Yup, during the asian crash in 98, even malaysia ringgit is higher value than thai baht. Our gov at that point pegged our ringgit to the US dollar at rm3.8 to 1 usd. However in 2016, oil crash hurt malaysia a lot, and thailand was spared. Covid wise, it wasnt as bad in the exchange, and i believe its also due to lack of foreign currency circulation as people arent travelling.
  9. I guess for this specific case, the bishop is using the apps inside his church office and his church owned residence, hence they are able to tie the phone to the app data that is made available for purchase. He is part of the team that were supposed to be in charge of sexual conduct issues for the church. For general public like us, i do think we dont need to worry about this kind of witch hunt.
  10. https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/pillar-investigates-usccb-gen-sec In case anyone is like me, dont have the subscription to washington post.
  11. Sputnik is still not approved by WHO although they expect approval by october. I wonder why it took too long to get approval when the trial efficicay is very high.
  12. I did a search and the first figure is up to may, but the second figure is for the whole 2020.
  13. We have seen significant reduction of hospitalization amongst 60 and older already, which was vaccinated during phase 2 (april). Hope the rest will follow suit. However delta variant is here as well, so might take a while to see reduction.
  14. Lots of internet troll out there, trying to say things that obviously wrong just to get some attention.
  15. An update to this, we are now 4.6mil second doses completed (14.3%) and are doing 400k doses daily now. The gov shift the vaccine doses to two most affected states, and aim to vaccinate all adult at least 1 dose by august 1st, after which walk in is allowed for people in these two states. 63% of adult have received their first dose in these two states.
  16. Why stoop to their level haha. Ignorance is bliss
  17. Its complacency. Thailand has been lucky to enjoy low infection rate for the most part of 2020, and able to bring down second waves pretty efficiently. I think we observe similar trend with taiwan and australia as well, where the goverment are able to contain the spread but fail to order their vaccine supplies. Now that delta variant wrecking havoc, turns out that their strategy or lack of strategy backfire. Ive said this before, that some countries will be ill-equiped to fight the spread simply because they have chosen to ward it off out of the countries from the get go, so their whole system to combat the virus have not been tested. Add incompetant and corrupt gov in that mix, you get what u see now in thailand.h Though my guess was a bit off since i thought that phuket sandbox might be the reason. Instead, its their lack of border control or possible some high so refusing to quarantine is the reason. Of course, any competant gov would see this mistake and start to impose strict lockdown, but instead, we saw songkran holiday was allowed. Its not the first we heard this though, it has been repeated over and over in many countries prior to this, when everyone is scrambling to learn about the virus and how to control it. It just that thai couldve learned from other countries mistake and avoid the current disaster. My country malaysia isnt doing any better in containing the virus though. And i dare to say due to similar reasons. We were doing well early on, get complacent, and thought we could control it even if we see some increases in the daily cases. Politicians kept saying they cant impose strict lockdown to save economy (mainly factories and construction) until its too late and our hospitals are hammered. The only thing that we did ok is vaccine acquisition. We are not the best and ordered enough supply early on, but we picked up early and start negotiating contracts and even join covax albeit a bit late. And it is due to our second waves, that started in october due to a state election resulted from power grabbing move by politicians there. And the current third wave right now, our minister managed to expedite some vaccines orders through further negotiation and of course some donations as well. Another move recently is to expedite vaccination in the two states that see high daily cases, (KL and Selangor). By August 1st, all adult is these two states will at least get their first dose, and any resident who have not receive their appointment yet or those without identification (illegal) can simply walk-in to get their vaccine. Hopefully cases will go down soon, as today daily cases are 12.9k with 6-7k are in these 2 states alone. We are vaccinating around 400k+ doses daily now, for a 32mil population country. Back to the topic, Malaysia is one of the country that is waiting for astrazeneca deliveries from thai factory. However, the delay will not affect us much for now as we have ordered i believe 30% more doses than required to vaccinate the whole population.
  18. Sadly im a user but we only have a choice between food panda that doesnt support civillian protests and grab that bought off uber and monopoly the market, increasing their rate by a lot after. Post lockdown, id definitely have a choice to ditch both of them
  19. Luckily so far, most variants while more contagious, are not directly more lethal. Of course if more people contracted the diseases, the death count increases. But i think the lambda variant in peru is raising a concern as peru were seeing increase in case and death. As long as people keep getting infected, mutations will carry on. We might need yearly shots of vaccine because of this.
  20. Sounds like a get rich money scam rather than insurance. With these around, no wonder covid cases in thailand cant go down hehe.
  21. Only for phuket model i believe. Coming in and quarantine 14days doesnt have to be vaccinated.
  22. Seems like all that time he is quarantined to keep himself from potentially spreading the virus into thailand, but instead he got the virus in thailand. How ironic.
  23. What kind of coverage they give if you get infected? Typically here for covid, its all pay and claim, so you wont make money off the insurance.
