Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Horatio;2545151]Here's some info saying hospital gets more money if covid.

https://www.aha.org/advisory/2020-04-16-coronavirus-update-cms-releases-guidance-implementing-cares-act-provisions[/QUOTE]I partially agree with that, however, the hospitals aren't getting an automatic 35 K for every patient that dies of Covid.

The extra money is an add on to MEDICARE and meant for the care of Covid 19 patients.

Falsifying documentation to obtain additional Medicare payments is a crime that very few, if any reputable hospitals or administrators are willing to risk.

Would you risk prison time by stealing money for your boss?

To put a blanket statement out there that hospitals have a $35 K incentive to report every patient death as COVID is very misleading (something you would hear in a Trump rally).

A hospital might get away with an honest mistake here and there without paying too great a penalty. But a cursory review and investigation of records and interviews of patients or the dead patients' surviving family would easily turn up the hundreds of thousands of falsified "Cause of Death" or reasons for treatment documentation required to significantly skew the data. The worldwide lawsuits, fines, firings, career destruction, hospital or clinic closures and jailtime that followed would be horrendous.

Yes, that includes falsely claiming a motorcycle accident death of someone who also happened to be infected with coronavirus as "Covid-related." Ok, if someone died from a motocycle accident because there were no doctors or operating rooms available to deal with them due to overwhelming cases of Covid-19 in a particular hospital, that death could be considered "Covid-related." But not as an official Cause of Death.

Another simple Google Search would also reveal loads of reports on the number of people who here hospitalized and/or died of "the flu" during and since 2020, fully attributed to "the flu" and nothing else. It is far from zero. In the USA alone there were tens of thousands of them.

To be sure, the number was reduced by about 30-50% from some previous years in the new normal world of mask wearing and social distancing. But there is no reason whatever to suspect there has been wholesale falsifying of cases of "the flu" in order to purposely inflate cases of Covid-19 right up to today.

Penrith, England. March 25: Charles Hope from Carlisle receives the AstraZeneca / Oxford University Covid-19 vaccine at the Penrith Auction Mart Vaccination Centre on March 25,2021 in Penrith, England. Nearly 29 million people have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in the UK, with more than 2.5 million having received a second dose. (Photo by Ian Forsyth / Getty Images).

A scientist has warned new COVID variants 'could reinfect people every two to four years'. (Getty).

COVID-19 mutations could reinfect people "every two to four years", a leading expert has warned.

Professor Paul Hunter said we should expect new variants to emerge but they would not necessarily lead to serious illness in patients.

Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, said it was important we keep an eye on the mutations as "it's been very difficult to predict exactly what will happen with coronaviruses."

[QUOTE=SinfullyKorean;2544714]When you say something like "I don't believe what's being reported. Gov't is using it to manipulate", there's no more point in even arguing with you because you will believe what you want to believe. There is nothing that will convince you otherwise because you don't believe in what's being reported. So you'll just go with your gut feeling without any kind of evidence. Any evidence provided to you to prove otherwise will be dismissed as fake evidence. So yea, let's just move on.[/QUOTE]Therein lies the rub. Why the necessity to be argumentative with someone who has a different opinion? Please consider the possibility of civil discourse next time.

Maybe North Korea provides us the best CoVid era model for society. Zero reported cases there. They must be excellent hand washers! Sure there is not a lot of food or electricity, but their citizens are living in the most safe and orderly society on earth.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2542361]...
Breaking news, though, is one of the better looking girls in that complex who informed me she only hustles LDs and never barfines or goes with a customer Lined me out of the blue yesterday and asked if I am free Sunday, her day/night off, to meet. No discussion of date vs ST, money, sex or no sex or anything like that but just her day off and she wants to hang with me. I'll update here after.

But even if this one turns out great that's only a 16% success rate for me getting what I need sexually from those newish Soi 7 Bar Complex girls. Which is a piss poor rate, imo.[/QUOTE]I never did meet that better looking girl in the Soi 7 bar complex on her day off. I canceled the day before because I'd gotten an offer I could not refuse from an even better looking, sexier girl that involved a couple of days lounging around, relaxing, eating, drinking, no hassle real fucking and fully complete sucking at the beach (otherwise boring Koh Samet).

But I did stop to see the previous girl I'd cancelled with at her Soi 7 bar last night about 9pm in response to several Line messages about how much she missed me, please come see her, blah blah.

One minute in after buying her a LD she started grilling me about who was this or that girl she saw me walking with before the Koh Samet trip, And how so very tired and sleepy she was right now. So I stood up, paid my bill, thanked her for her time and told her to Line me again sometime when she is not tired, not sleepy and free to meet privately.

SL.[/QUOTE]Best guess.

Anyone found infected with Covid was executed and body burned. Follow up tracing means anyone in contact with infected also quietly executed and bodies burned. No more virus spreading so nothing to report. No bodies, no evidence, no Covid cases to report. Simple solution for a country like and. Korea.

Any idea if the big soapies like La Belle and Poseidon, or even the smaller ones like honey bee, Bangkok passion etc have reopened in Bangkok?

I had some of best experience at these places. My last visit was in Dec 2019 right before Covid came to ruin the party.

OK Thailand experts: when will a vaccinated monger can start visiting Bangkok? Without isolation upon arrival.

[QUOTE=MaxPayload;2545750]OK Thailand experts: when will a vaccinated monger can start visiting Bangkok? Without isolation upon arrival.[/QUOTE]These dates are subject to 70% of the region's residents being vaccinated:

July 1 for Phuket.

Oct 1 for 5 other regions (Krabi, Phangnga, Koh Samui, Chonburi (Pattaya) and Chiang Mai).

My estimate: 2022 Jan for the rest of Thailand once those 6 regions show they've opened safely.

1. 70% of residents need to be vaccinated before a region opens up.

2. If they see a surge, they will most assuredly close up / require quarantine again.

3. If CDC changes their travel guidelines, things might open up sooner.

Things are changing pretty rapidly. Just until a few weeks ago (even now), the mandatory quarantine period was 14 days. Starting April 1, it's supposed to be 10 days (regardless of vaccination). And some articles said Thailand will require 7 days quarantine for vaccinated tourists.

[QUOTE=MaxPayload;2545750]OK Thailand experts: when will a vaccinated monger can start visiting Bangkok? Without isolation upon arrival.[/QUOTE]Yep, the quarantine really sucks.

It's so much better to be back in the states shoveling snow and watching Youporn, than to go through 2 weeks of quarantine.

Next is Astronauts will be let in to revive the economy.

For us Pervs I'm looking earliest Jan. 2022.

I will not travel to any country that requires quarantine.

In all honesty, the two weeks imprisoned in the hotel wasn't very enjoyable. The first 10 days weren't so bad, since I had a lot of work to catch up on. However, the final 5 nights were a drag. I felt like a kid waiting on Christmas.

Would I do it all over again? Absolutely, but that's just me. However, for someone who cannot stay long term and are chained to a physical office or assembly line, with only 3 or 4 weeks vacation a year, it would be a different story.
