"People don't believe that he is telling the truth about the safety of the vaccine candidates," Biden asserted. "Therefore, they're not at all certain they're going to take the vaccine."
I was just chatting with a nice little old lady at the check line at my local grocery store. The conversation came up and she said she would not take the vaccine because she thought it might be dangerous to her. I had nothing to say back to her. It's her choice. She wants to wear a mask for the rest of her life and live in fear so be it.
BTW, none of this belongs in general reports forum, but some bm's can't control their loathing. There is a lot of that particular mental disorder going around in the USA at the moment. It is more prevalent than the pandemic.

Of course, half of that particularly worded message would only be true until October or November this year.

As you can see from the graph, Americans (and I'm sure Canada is included in the numbers) make up a very small percentage of the overall number of tourists to Thailand. Thailand will not chance getting a second wave of COVID to allow Americans in.

I would remind those waiting for a vaccine that there is already vaccine for influenza. But despite this tens of thousands die from it every year. Because vaccines for viruses are difficult to make. They're even more difficult to distribute.
The chief scientist of WHO just said:
If some of the vaccines in human clinical trials are effective, they should be available sometime next year.
Very optimistically, the timeline for the first doses would be the first half of 2021.
It is important to note that even with a successful vaccine, there will be a limited number of doses initially. We will not have eight or ten billion doses available to be able to vaccinate the whole world. We might have a few hundred million doses, meaning we would have to prioritize some sections of the population - such as front-line workers, health workers, social care workers and others who are at very high risk.
Thereafter, manufacturing can be scaled up, and more vaccine candidates tested. And hopefully, by 2022, we will be in a position to have many more vaccines available.
Small pox is as of yet the only virus that was ever eradicated by vaccine. It took 15 years.

But generally I am happy with my top 5 and look forward to being there as soon as possible. It is interesting to note that of my top 5 only BKK and Pattaya are up and running if only partially so. The rest of the destinations are still in shut down mode although I am sure you can find girls on the social media there. But there is no going out and having a good time on the town except in BKK / Pat (maybe Vegas). I envy you fuckin' assholes who are lucky enough to be in LOS at the present moment in history. Enjoy. You are in a unique position.

Posts: 280Really think thailand can hold out on tourists until 2022? Sure I understand the sentiment toward the american dumpster fire that trump has started, but reality being that with way things are going America will keep seeding the rest of world so if you open up to anyone you are risking it coming in. Sure I don't want to believe I will be locked out until 2022 so I am not impartial, but I also just can't Thailand, or even most counties, for a vaccine, I just think they will give up before then.

Posts: 6257If prices for girls were THE SAME everywhere which cities / countries would you be visiting the most to hobby? Based on girl's looks, service, attitude and the overall ease of hobbying.
I personally haven't included many cities like Prague / Budapest / London / Montreal / Toronto, etc with escorts only because imo not being able to see the girl before she appears at the door is not ease of hobbying.
Mine would be:
1. Dusseldorf / Frankfurt / Berlin.
2. Las Vegas
3. Switzerland
4. Tokyo / Osaka.
5. Bangkok / Pattaya.

And, no, this was one of the rare times he wasn't trying to be coarsely funny, dismissive, denigrating or insulting to a USA ally.
At least, I don't think he was.

I might be desperate enough to do that one. Is anyone considering some of the more reasonable ones?
My question is how to get a flight out of America?

The only changes seem to be foreigners with Certificates of Residence, Work Permit holders can now bring family in and a tweak to the terms to allow migrant labour from neighbouring countries in.
If anyone is considering the Elite Visa, be very careful by checking with the Embassy or Consulate that you'll be able to get a certificate of entry before you proceed. Thai Elite may be rather more interested in hitting sales targets than giving realistic guidance. THB 500 k to 2 million is quite a lot to be out of pocket if you cannot use the thing.

Corruption is rampant in both, but having never lived in Colombia I'm only guessing that the payoff game is slightly more predictable (and less dangerous) in the LOS than it is in Shakiralandia.
