200329 I'm a medical 'super high risk'

Back in early January I came down with what I considered a serious case of bronchitis.  

During a few days of high fever I locked my gates and turned my regular visitors away.  The fever dissapeared but the chest pains continued, persisting over the past two months.

The main problem I still have is mouth breathing while I sleep.   It's causing dry throat and is not helping getting rid of bronchitis symptoms. 

Add to that a lifelong history ear infections since age 7.  The ear infection has been permanent over the past two years.  

I am immune to antibiotics.  I have to clear my ear passage a few times a day.

The ears are connected to the sinus. I have to take daily medicine to clear my sinus.

How I am still alive is beyond my comprehension.

Potatoes now selling for 40 baht a kilo

1967 I survived on a huge bag of potatoes and a handful of seasonings.  

I had just started a job as bellman in a hotel.  I did get lunch at the hotel.  But that was only five days per week.  

It's amazing the different ways you can serve potatoes.  
From soups to pancakes to fries.

Of course this time around I have my cupboards filled with a greater variety of foods.  

I no longer go to shops.  I let other people do the shopping for me. I use disinfectant on all items brought to my house.  Including the mailbox.

Alcohol and disinfectant sprays are all out of stock at local markets. These items are standard in my house, so I do have a limited supply on hand.

Some rain, some sunshine and some social distancing

Last night that 22:10 thunder which turned on all my motion detector lights sounded more like a a major bomb explosion reminiscent to my RVN days .

TODAY: Possible thunderstorm scattered rain is in the forecast thru this morning. Afternoon feels like temperature may reach as high as 38
Did not hear of any public announcement, 
just two facebook announcements



Noticed a few establishments had not gotten the word as of last night.
Still allowed a group of kids to use my pool yesterday. Did check the chlorine level and kept my distance. Posted the 'Pool Closed' sign mid afternoon. Also had some visitors late afternoon. That was yesterday.  Today I'll hang up the 'No visitors' sign.

Scattered thunderstorms 
most likely Thursday and Friday.
Can not guarantee accuracy on this one
Japanese doctors recommend ... drink water ... wash the virus and let stomach acid do the rest 

 "every 15 mins at least. WHY? Even if the virus gets into your mouth...drinking water or other liquids will WASH them down through your oesophagus and into the stomach. Once there in tummy...your stomach ACID will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly...the virus can enter your windpipes and into the LUNGS. That's very dangerous."

Extreme Heat Friday
Real Feel 109 F / 43 C
101 F / 38 C in the shade

Keep a cool head. Heat rises.

Eat small meals. Eating creates body heat

Swamp coolers aren't all that effective during high humidity

 A damp cloth over a fan does help cool things down. Don't let water drip onto the motor

Limit alcohol drinking. It acts as an diuretic when you need all the liquid to keep cool.

'Water with alcohol wipes' create a immediate, but temporary cooling effect

NET TV update

📺
USTVNOW No longer offers 5 free channels as they had previously done. The choice of 23 channels offered for $29 is 'meager,' (to put it politely).

Tried  IPTV for a year with thousands of channels advertised.  I found it frequently not reliable and decided not to renew

Using HD PRIME , lately they've been having problems maintaining some of the local programming.
Otherwise my prefered choice for price and quality 380B monthly for TV


AIS TV is changing their programming this month.  Seems like offering a bit less for a lesser price. Not a bad choice for the price

USTVGO the freebie is blocked unless you use a proxy

Live feeds should be a standard for all Sakon Nakhon FC away games.


After yesterday's loss in Surin 4-1, Sakon Nakhon FC sank to 4th place in the league.  The sinking will continue today with four games pending later this afternoon.
Mister Popular is in a three way tie for second best scorer in the T4NE league for the moment. Here's the translation

Unfortunately there was no live feed of the game. Live feeds should be a standard for all away games.  It can't be that costly to create a team esprit de corps.

Buriram hosts Sakon Nakhon next weekend.

Hopefully there'll be some winning lineup changes
