Exactly my thoughts, what I like about Sweeney is that he doesn't hide what he's about. He's also quite witty, and is honest about his budget and expenses.

I'm not massively into the vlogs tbh, the novelty wore off fairly quickly after watching Kevin Thailand (RIP) and Geoff Carter's early stuff. Each to their own.

Ed Sweeney is one of the good ones. Along with Geoff Carters early videos, both good lads. I appreciate Ed's honest commentary, including his "this video is for men only" titles

to be honest I can't wait to see 50% or more of bars and gogos shut down. Call be a c**t or call me what you want, but the over saturation of shit bars definitely resulted in a lack of returning visitors to Pattaya.

complete and total travel ban. we're f***d lads. 1 AUD is 50 US cents.

Trust me this will not end until after the mass vaccinations are rolled out.....They have slowly taking people rights to opt out of vaccinations away for years now but its been going to slow.....But now they have a unprecedented opportunity to force the vaccination issue  world wide....A dream come true for those in power.....

without becoming an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy nut, it's not hard to see how this plays out. in australia, no jab no play. they wont let your kid go to school without being forced to have stuff injected into your kid.

then they also wont pay you (centrelink, welfare, family payments) if you dont forcefully get your child injected with god knows what... again, I've been vaccinated like everyone else I know has had done. But should the question be on WHY it's done this way worldwide and WHO benefits financially from this type of stuff the most rather than asking why you refuse to let someone stick a needle full of (something mysterious) into your kids body.

I'm for vaccination by the way. If it keeps other kids safe, sure why not. I'm just not so sure I'm for something that is forced or this heavily enforced.

FFS.

Either ethanol or isopropyl alcohol is the main active ingredient in hand sanitizer.

in 2017 the world wide production of ethanol was about 27 billion gallons (I guess US gallons) for the biofuel market with the US and Brazil producing about 85% of that.

In 2018 the US alone produced 520,000 metric tonnes of isopropyl alcohol.

I suspect that there's more than sufficient of either for hand sanitizers.

 

 

the korean so-chu makers have been giving it away to help with the spread of the virus

within the next few days, Australia is going to implement a complete lockdown. Bars, Restaurants and cafes closed. universities, schools, most work places. closed.

14 days at this stage. I may be wrong, I may be right. someones wife is an RN and all is not as it seems.

Looking at Wiki’s Canada page on # of infections, this sums up what everyone is scared about. The multiplier effect is rapidly happening, and it’s gone from a single case from a Chinese traveller, to now a bunch of community infections. 
Before looking at this chart, I thought “ pffffft, what’s the big deal”. 
 

Now these numbers scare the hell out of me

 

 

Trudeu is still allowing flights from China into Canada even still today. At great risk of offending the Chinese, he's putting all Canadians lives at risk. No one even wants to report about it.

4 planes from allover China arriving in the morning in Vancouver.

NYC to close all schools, all bars, all restaurants.

Another politician making an uninformed, ill advised, sure to cause more panic, announcement.

Angela Merkel estimates that 60% to 70% of the German population will contract the coronavirus

No report of how she came up with that estimate. My guess is she just pulled it out of her ample ass. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand how absurd that statement is.

Example: China, who seems to have gotten a handle on containing the outbreak in their country, currently has 80,788 total cases. That's out of a population estimated at 1.4 billion. Doing the math that's a paltry ‭0.00577% of the population. So how the hell can Merkel justify the assine statement of 60% to 70% of the German population will be infected.

I think it's only in her fantasy that the german people get it and mostly die off to be replaced. Did you see her on the news when someone handed her a german flag?

I think you are correct ...... " the powers that be " always try to find new ways to restrict our freedoms .... what little we seem to have left ...

I also believe that medical records will be "centralized" on line in some "cloud" available for anyone to hack ... and used against people traveling as well

that fear is already here in Australia - My Health Record, it allows ANY medical professionals, doctors, nurses, dentists, chemists, to see your history and everything that you've ever had done. The even worse news is that it was OPT OUT.... if you didn't opt out by a certain date it's too late they force create your record and its there for good and everyone has access to your shit online. Soon to become one of the biggest fuckups this government has ever done.

The AUD was down to 19.90 at the TT booths on Soi Bukow this afternoon...I was standing there when they changed the rates on the window from 19.90 to 20.10 about 3PM....

I can't even see tourists coming back for more of that. Prices going through the roof coupled with the 40% devaluation in the currency vs the strong baht. Cheaper to drink and f**k a Thai in Australia.

dont worry Australians are forced to "recycle" and its all a scam for the most part anyway

qantas have parked eight A380's at least until September, thats big money right there.

Local shop has security guarding the toilet rolls to prevent violence when a new pallet comes out on the floor.

I always thought I was a bit mental. Then all this started and I seem kinda normal compared to the rest of em

hello lads. Although I've completely given up on Thailand I did like the banter from some threads on the now defunct forum. Plus I like browsing the other places to visit sections 🙂
