200824 Football Northeast remains mostly unchanged

Even though T4 has been eliminated and teams integrated into T3, there seems to be no major change to the NE group lineup as had been hoped for earlier this year.

A few teams have gone missing and there was one addition: Ubon FC

Still no published game schedule. 
Expect training startup in September, games to start first weekend in October.
There could possibly still be some changes before the schedules are posted.

missing from the lineup Buriram B, Sisakhet FC, Nong Bua Phichay FC.
While most foreign players had remained in Thailand since the virus outbreak, foreign players entering the country must submit to a 14 day quarantine.
While some rules may be amended as needed, fans may be required to wear face masks OR face shields

200728 War of the FACEBOOK Fact Checkers

My original post on facebook was entitled "SNAKE OIL or cure."
Snake oil refers to a substance with no real medicinal value sold as a remedy for all diseases. 
With that title I was questioning the validity of the linked article:

COVID-19 No Vaccine Needed, There Is Already A Cure - NewsBlaze News

After receiving the 'False Information Found in Your Post" notice, I deleted the post.

Facebook fact checkers base their decision on "global health care experts."

I subsequently checked the publisher reliability

The doctor is continuing to make the news with his declared experiences

COVID patients defend Dr. Bartlett's 'silver bullet' medicine regimen | newswest9.com  published July 9

Such experiences can not be determined as fact based on less than a dozen cases, but should also not be completely ignored
