100 millions tested positive and many of those suffering from all kind of side effects months after. It's not just about deaths.

There's no chance it will go through now, but if Biden manages to do a good job in the next 4 years, Trump shouldn't be an issue. If the Democrats still want to ruin his chance to run in 4 years they still have 1 shot left, but that option most likely has to go through Supreme Court and we all know how that ends. Off course it's not over before the fat lady sings, but I don't think we'll see Trump in jail or having his chance removed to run in 4 years. What is most worrying is that Trump will most likely showcase this as a huge victory.

Wine are ridiculously expensive in Thailand. A wine I can buy here in Denmark for the equivalent of 200 baht is 750 baht in Thailand. Exact same brand and vintage. Just an ordinary drinking wine, nothing special. Even Peter Vella which I understand is Australian wine mixed with local Thai wines is priced way to high. They want us to drink Mont Clair all day long or what

Not sure how I feel about this. Mixed feelings. Is it smart letting in the private sector when there are a lack of vaccines worldwide?

I wouldn't even know what to do with so much money. Hmm, or maybe I do. Wait a minute... I could buy a local soccer club which I hate and turn their national soccer stadium into a kiddie minigolf course and have the players bring water and such to the kids. Yeah that's my plan. Now where do I buy a coupon

Until Pfizer steps up the production, it's understandable why some consider the 1 dose strategy if they can vaccinate 100 % more people at the cost of 4 - 35 % drop in reduction of getting covid-19. Not perfect, but overall it should still protect more people from getting hospitalized. We have quite a few examples of senior citizens here in Denmark that got covid-19 after their first shot (which is only natural since it's not 100 % plus takes time to develop anti bodies) , but none of them died yet from covid-19 as far as I know, so if the vaccine prevents seriously i

If we take a look at the fatalities it's positive, that the numbers are still so low. If the statistics followed the same curve prior to Dec 24 we would have witnessed approximately 137 deaths in total, but it's only at 73. Dec 24 total. 5829 cases. 60 deaths. Jan 24 total. 13500 cases. 73 deaths.

I think it gets ugly when drugs are priced way to high and the profit is not reasonable, but so far I'm not seeing that in any of the vaccines prices. I think all of them are within a very reasonable price range.

Here is a well explained article about mRNA vaccines. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/why-are-mrna-vaccines-so-exciting-2020121021599

We just have to wait and see what happens after tons of people has been vaccinated. Hopefully it wont mutate to much before that, and we're still able to bring it under control. If Manaus in Brazil is what we should expect to see in the future it's depressive. They thought they had herd immunity last year, but are having a major outbreak once again and people are getting sick a second time. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6527/329?utm_campaign=toc_sci-mag_2021-01-21&et_rid=714521026&et_cid=3638463 I cross my fingers the vaccines do

As far as I understand the senate has to vote twice if they want to remove Trumps possibility to run again. First they have to get the 2/3 of the votes for the impeachment and then a separate one that could ban him for good. Or did I misunderstand something?

Humans tend to forget pretty fast, and if the vaccines do the trick, we will return to normal within a reasonable amount of time. It's deadly and it's serious, and not to be joked about, but we will beat this thing, or at least learn to live with it.

I'm not so sure kids under a certain age should even wear masks.

What does your gut feeling tell you? Do you think enough Republicans will go against him?

Seems like the most busy place atm is fisherman village by the looks of various YouTubers living on Samui. The videos from Chaweng and Lamai are truly depressing to watch. A bit of life in Choeng Mon and Mae nam, but not much. Been to Samui 11 times if my memory serves me right, and I fear that returning next time will be a very different experience compared to the past. Atm I'm watching a vlogger that used to do Samui, but moved to KP for a few months, and the situation looks just as bad there. But I think KP actually would be a better place
