I think this is the first time in history that there’s been political pressure, at least of this magnitude, to push to get a vaccine out before it’s proven safe.

perhaps..... it was just on the news that the major vaccine makers are going to have a presentation to give pushback against the Trump administration’s pressure to bring it out early. Let’s see what they say

My estimate is January at the earliest, and then it’ll need a few months to see how safe and effective it is in the general population. Medication recalls are not uncommon post- release

What is the proposed special visa for long-staying travelers in Thailand and how might it impact current expats?

still thinking about Cambodia, even though you got a pay for that quarantine if anybody on your flight test positive, and I think it’s a slam dunk the government will find somebody positive. And I don’t think I’ll find anything there that will replace Chiang Mai But this being a Covid refugee is getting old

That would be a positive outcome for many. Unfortunately, I’ll give you all kinds of odds that America won’t reciprocate to save it’s life

Dude, people have been eyeing and discussing and throwing out all kinds of different options and really, almost nothing is materializing from them. It’s just Clickbait from the Bangkok post and other papers in Thailand. If this kind of stuff helps keep you lubricated, all the more power to you

Will quarantine be required for foreigners traveling to Thailand in November?

@Positively ******

some people have posted that they’ve done that, I don’t know if they’re telling the truth. Six people flying from Cambodia, possibly could be cheaper than doing a US$20,000 state if the Phuket Option was used. Who knows?
