We put a stick in your nose. It says you are sick. 
You don't feel sick, but we are the government. We are telling you, you are sick...
 

sometimes no stick is necessary to see that person is sick. Post or two in the thread suffices

I am not in my 40s. 

Lucky you! Wonder how old you really are. Perhaps you are only 19 as you clearly did not read all my post. Note the following - 

"By 2030, predicts a study published in April, colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in people aged 20 to 49."

Let me repeat again. I don't trust Americans, the American government or anyone involved in it. I am not American, and I couldn't give a warm soggy shit what anyone from that terrorist state has to say, especially "so called" Experts. 
The amount of processed food and junk that Americans eat, I wouldn't be surprised by sky high cancer rates.

I think that @gayinpattaya is the right guy to lead all Chinese tour groups in Pattaya.

You clearly don't bother to read any other medical journals published in other countries. Colo-rectal cancer is on the rise among the 20-49 age group in most countries. You should at least have a colonoscopy. That might finally get most of the shit out of your system!

Three ministries to meet Thursday to prepare for return of Chinese tourists

Senior officials of Thailand’s Public Health, Tourism and Sports and Transport ministries are scheduled to meet this Thursday to prepare for the arrival of Chinese tourists, expected to begin in the middle of this month.

The Chinese government has eased travel restrictions, effective January 8th, allowing Chinese citizens to travel out of the country again and allowing tourists to visit China.

Thai tourism-related officials said that, during the initial stage, not many Chinese tourists will visit Thailand, due to the limited number of flights between China and Thailand, and many Chinese citizens may have to renew passports which expired during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel restrictions were strictly enforced under China’s Zero Infection Policy.

About 50,000 arrivals from China are estimated in the first month and many are expected to travel overland and through the border crossing in Chiang Saen district of Thailand’snorthern province of Chiang Rai, or via the Lao-Chinese high speed train service to the north-eastern province of Nong Khai.

Then, with increased flights, the number of arrivals isexpected to rise to about 100,000 a month and, this year, total arrivals are forecast to be about 5 million, compared to 11 million a year pre-pandemic.

No special measures are to be imposed on Chinese tourists, as they will be treated like other foreign tourists, according to the recommendation of a technical sub-committee of the National Communicable Disease Committee.

Chinese tourists will, however, be required to present their COVID-19 vaccination certification, will be advised to wear face masks while travelling around Thailand and should take out health insurance coverage before leaving for Thailand.

Cambodia places no restrictions on China visitors

From Phnom Penh Post

PHNOM PENH – Cambodia will not follow in other countries’ footsteps in imposing any additional restrictions towards arrivals from mainland China, amid concerns that soaring Covid-19 cases there could drive the emergence of new and potentially more dangerous variants of the novel coronavirus, Prime Minister Hun Sen affirmed on January 2.

This comes as China moves to reopen to inbound and outbound tourism on January 8, while the Kingdom plans to capture pent-up travel demand, welcoming an estimated two million mainland Chinese visitors this year, according to the premier.

Hun Sen was speaking at a groundbreaking ceremony for a Mekong River bridge and connecting road in Kratie province that are due to be built in part with a concessional loan from the Chinese government.

“We’ve all seen the unfortunate but frightening propaganda about the Covid-19 epidemic in China. Those who will be strict when it comes to China, let them do so since that’d just benefit Cambodia,” he said.

“Let’s say that [a Chinese traveller] wants to go to some country, but it requires Chinese people to do this or that. Cambodia won’t have such requirements,” the premier explained, issuing an invitation for mainlanders to “come travel [to the Kingdom] as per normal”.
