Busy people next to K Bank on Soi Buakhao......

Slow progress on the new market next to Nirun. J Club is closed, but the pouring of a new concrete pad makes me wonder if something new in the location will be coming soon. Next door on Soi Love Inn, more planters going in. Xzyte Food Center progress update

Todays breakfast, sausage sandwich

I read yesterday that a second Chinese company has started stage 3 testing of a Covid 19 vaccine ........................................................in Pakistan! How is that for confidence in their own product? I also read that the Russian Government has agreed to pay "partial" compensation for any of their stage 3 guinea pigs who turn into xtras from the Walking Dead. Mad panic. Rush job. Political presure to launch. Corners cut? I forsee two or three years down the line a need for a vaccine to counteract the side effects of the covid 19 vaccine. 🙄 Personally, I think I will give it a miss and take my chances.

Not much traffic into the 7-11 entrance opposite Area 51..lol.... Phase 1-2 active in Soi Diamond a little more to happen....

Last night for dinner was Ahi Tuna Fish and Shrimp Fried Rice...

...went with Magna Carta and Tony! thxs Guys!

Most of the scientific / medical publications, who we thought we could trust for publizing only scientific evidence have discredited themselves since the beginning of this hysteria. Remeber The Lancet forecasting 500,000 death in the UK, the story condemning strongly Chroloquine which they recently retracted admitting it was based on unverifiable / invented data ? Besides that, who you think are their big advertisers ? Big pharma of course. The US CDC, is completely taken over by politicians and big pharma. We expect politicians to lie, but now if we can't even trust scientifics and researchers, we should really worry. As Pr Raoult (head of Marseille top hospital) said "this will be remembered as the biggest medical science scandal of the century"

Cliff, not read the whole thread but I remember you telling me you had True Visions via satellite. Shame, if you had it via internet (TrueID) you could have one of their streaming boxes that has Netflix built in. You would save money on the True bill as well. Thai Netflix does not need a VON and has everything with Thai subtitles, so the Mrs can watch with you. Or even better, just leave her watching Netflix and come down to Pattaya for a few drinks in the bar. *wink*

Lunch was a jacket spud with cheese and beans.

Well, I dont want to be in a car crash, so I should have sat in a car I don't want to be in a plane crash, so I should never have take a plane Etc etc ..... I spend 33 years on construction.sites, a rather high rate professional accident profession... I dont want to fall from 30m high, so I should never have climbed on a crane boom...

Dito, Never took any vaccine in the last 25 years,,can't see why I would start now. Now, if they invented one that prevents hangovers.... yep, maybe 😁😁😁

Australia's current death rate is greater than 3% Australia's current recovered rate, about 90% (depending upon your definition of "recovered". Weeks and months after the onset of acute COVID-19, people continue to suffer. Paul Garner, a professor of epidemiology at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK, wrote on the 95th day after the onset of symptoms that “I am unable to be out of bed for more than three hours at a stretch, my arms and legs are permanently fizzing as if injected with Szechuan peppercorns, I have ringing in the ears, intermittent brain fog, palpitations, and dramatic mood swings.” Other people also describe similar complaints. 78 of 100 patients in an observational cohort study who had recovered from COVID-19 had abnormal findings on cardiovascular MRI (median of 71 days after diagnosis) and 36 of those reported dyspnoea (breathing difficulty) and unusual fatigue. We are seeing patients in clinics dedicated to COVID-19 convalescents, and for some of these patients the return to their former health trajectory is slow and painful. These patients are not only those recovering from the severe form of the acute disease (ie, post intensive care syndrome), but also those who had mild and moderate disease. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30701-5/fulltext CDC is actively working to learn more about the whole range of short- and long-term health effects associated with COVID-19. As the pandemic unfolds, we are learning that many organs besides the lungs are affected by COVID-19 and there are many ways the infection can affect someone’s health. One of the health effects that CDC is closely watching and working to understand relates to COVID-19 and the heart. Heart conditions associated with COVID-19 include inflammation and damage to the heart muscle itself, known as myocarditis, or inflammation of the covering of the heart, known as pericarditis. These conditions can occur by themselves or in combination. Heart damage may be an important part of severe disease and death from COVID-19, especially in older people with underlying illness. Heart damage like this might also explain some frequently reported long-term symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and heart palpitations. The risk of heart damage may not be limited to older and middle-aged adults. For example, young adults with COVID-19, including athletes, can also suffer from myocarditis. Severe heart damage has occurred in young, healthy people, but is rare. There may be more cases of mild effects of COVID-19 on the heart that can be diagnosed with special imaging tests, including in younger people with mild or minimal symptoms; however, the long-term significance of these mild effects on the heart are unknown. CDC will continue to assess and provide updates as new data emerge. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects.html From ‘brain fog’ to heart damage, COVID-19’s lingering problems alarm scientists By Jennifer Couzin-Frankel Jul. 31, 2020 , 1:30 PM Athena Akrami’s neuroscience lab reopened last month without her. Life for the 38-year-old is a pale shadow of what it was before 17 March, the day she first experienced symptoms of the novel coronavirus. At University College London (UCL), Akrami’s students probe how the brain organizes memories to support learning, but at home, she struggles to think clearly and battles joint and muscle pain. “I used to go to the gym three times a week,” Akrami says. Now, “My physical activity is bed to couch, maybe couch to kitchen.” Her early symptoms were textbook for COVID-19: a fever and cough, followed by shortness of breath, chest pain, and extreme fatigue. For weeks, she struggled to heal at home. But rather than ebb with time, Akrami’s symptoms waxed and waned without ever going away. She’s had just 3 weeks since March when her body temperature was normal. “Everybody talks about a binary situation, you either get it mild and recover quickly, or you get really sick and wind up in the ICU,” says Akrami, who falls into neither category. Thousands echo her story in online COVID-19 support groups. Outpatient clinics for survivors are springing up, and some are already overburdened. Akrami has been waiting more than 4 weeks to be seen at one of them, despite a referral from her general practitioner. The list of lingering maladies from COVID-19 is longer and more varied than most doctors could have imagined. Ongoing problems include fatigue, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, achy joints, foggy thinking, a persistent loss of sense of smell, and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-damage-covid-19-s-lingering-problems-alarm-scientists Coronavirus may increase risk of neurological conditions including Parkinson’s disease https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/the-third-wave-of-the-covid19-pandemic-we-need-to-be-concerned-about/news-story/903b1d87ba46aee54c7ee32a7d04d146 And the list goes on and on...

reckon,the main thing is how many people infected?how many fully regovered?personally I believe that deaths while tragic are not the main thing,survial is the most important heard last night that 99% of those that infected only have a very mild case. and 99.7% of the world population that have had the Wuhan Virus and survived. cause the looney left keep on about the deaths and not those who have survived the virus. think I heard that 83 is the average age of the dead worldwide goverments are not telling us how many died because of the virus,or have the virus along side of some other problem that would have killed them anyway. I understand in my case,either my heart or demetia is going to get me in the end,or could be the number 9 bus going up the high street. one way the other iam going to be brown bread. and if it happens to-morrow,i have had a good life,met some great blokes over the years and banged some beautiful women a couple of Playboy/Penthouse pussies of the month and even a miss Philippnes. only problem is I can only remember half of them,the blokes that was regular mongers in both PI and LOS,who have the craic and made a day go better by being in their company. and even the loons on this forum get me going when the hammer looks the best option,i log on here and what ever shit is floating around in my head is gone, and if I ever get back to Pattaya I will buy you all a beer yes a big bucket of beer and all the straws we need to go around May you all be in heaven a week before the devil knows your gone. May the rains fall gently on your fields. May you always have a few coins in your pocket for a pint. regards grayray

Confucius says. "It's OK." Lots of outdoor dining open. Museums & Zoo open with reservations. Shopping open in some places. Nice weather in October. I haven't been downtown since April. No reason to go. If you're looking for suggestions of "local" spots to check out let me know. There's some great little hidden stairways to get your heart rates up. I know your Mrs. likes to work out. Some good little restaurants for take away picnics, too. . . .

Wifey asked me yesterday if we can go back to SFO soon, walk around and was it safer now? @lazarus I told her I would ask the franchise?

Feeling more autumnal today ..

Yea, that's why i did the Advanced. I did my first wreck dive of Pattaya in January, loved it, though it was just 22m. So wanted to get Advanced, dive deeper wrecks. And yea, once in the water, it's magical, such a stress reliever as you say.

It was an easier process for NASA to put a man on the moon FFS!
