Interesting article I read this AM, concerning China and its Scientists, they seem to be closing in on a pill that can activate certain parts of the immune system, delaying the onset of this virus by possible a few weeks , allowing time for the body to produce its own anti-bodies to fight the bug.
How this will work out is anyone's guess, but it appears that the Antibody thing is the way forward.

It probably only works on windows, it gives no information on my iPad

If you want to return make sure item 1 under has been rescinded (it’s still in force today)
And the work permit exception is no longer valid.

These are the restrictions on the site I provided for good old Thai

Thailand

Your iPad then needs upgrading if you wish to continue and give up to date information to readers

It doesn’t.

My iPad is running the latest iOS, safari and chrome versions.

It’s the common problem of organisations building sites that don’t work on non Micro$oft platforms.

Have to wonder about the Russians
how they have peaked now with a low death rate
lost 40 health workers alone in deepest darkest Dagestan
Just 2 news articles from RT

[Whistler]

If the Russian figures are BS, Belarus has taken it to a dizzier height. 32,000 cases but only reported 179 deaths. Dr's ordered to mark cause of death as stubbed toes, nasal infection, tummy ache and bee stings.

[noosard]

Testing the healthy gives positive results as well
sorry should be good results, as positve is bad

[Khun Paul]

The problem has always been IF there was an underlying health condition that this VIRUS attached itself to. Like if you suffer from a sever respiratory disease and catch Covid 19, you are more liable to die, now is the cause of DEATH Civid 19 or the fact that the underlying health condition worsened because of Covid .
The fatalities in this case are hastened by Covid, they were going to occur in any event possible not as quick, but still happen. Like the Old people in homes whose life was fairly sedentary and any illness that attacked the respiratory system would make the end sooner rather than later, like the FLU, but no-one worries about those fatalities do they .
They do not shut down the country for FLU yet it kills each and every year without fail thousands worldwide , maybe not as visibly as this Virus does but still kills tens of thousands each and every year. Why do we not have a lock down for the FLU season, in fact why not 4 months oif the year do not work and schooling but work our arses off 8 months of the year and rest the other four , each and every year so that FLU can also be beaten , Never going to happen .

1. there is a vaccine for seasonal flu

2. CV-19 transmits far more easily than seasonal flu

3. the mortality rate for CV-19 is far higher than seasonal flu.

[mickojak]

in fact why not 4 months oif the year do not work and schooling but work our arses off 8 months of the year and rest the other four

It's worth considering, although I think 4 months is too long.

The environmental impact (improvement) from coronavirus shut down, has been massive, worldwide.
Certainly, the world shutting down for 4-6 weeks a year is feasable?

Or, maybe, we could just go back to having weekends off again?
Nah, that'll never happen.

Plus 3, still not too bad!

[pal52]

Plus 3, still not too bad!

The bad part is that 1 was a German man who traveled from Bangkok to Chaiyapum where it looks like he picked up the virus.
He also visited a shopping mall before returning to Bangkok.
Hopefully he drove to Chaiyapum and did not use public transport.

Another was a old man suffering from cancer who went for a haircut in Bangkok & picked up the virus.

The other was in Quarantine the same as the last cases found.

Lets hope there is not a lot more infections from these cases or it will be time to get the beer stocks up again.
