U.S. Senate blocks constitutional challenge to Trump impeachment trial
Virt replied to webfact's topic in World News
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

Private sector gets the nod to import Covid-19 vaccine
Virt replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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

Israel: single Pfizer injection less effective than thought
Virt replied to cormanr7's topic in COVID-19: Coronavirus forum
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 -
Another Covid-19 patient dies as 198 new cases reported
Virt replied to rooster59's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Efficacy of vaccines may reduce after mass inoculation – Dr. Yong
Virt replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Efficacy of vaccines may reduce after mass inoculation – Dr. Yong
Virt replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 -
British PM says new variant may carry higher risk of death
Virt replied to rooster59's topic in World News
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.

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
