The claim that teachers over 50 will be permanently banned is a supposition based on taking a statement out of context. Here's the more likely explanation. The Ministry of Education statement quoted was made on Tuesday afternoon, after HE stated schools in rural areas with low infections should be a...

It seems that the original centres will only be offering 2nd. shots from tomorrow, but 1st. shots will be given at the new centres opening then. Two workmates went for a 2nd. shot at the BKK1 centre, separately, on Friday. They were both told 1st. shots were no longer available and one of them was e...

Is anyone aware of a centre in PP that is still giving Astazenica shots to people over 60? I tried 2 of the newly opened centres and one had Sinovac only, while the other had Sinovac and Sinocham. Both these Chinese vaccines have now been approved by the WHO. They say there is no evidence yet that t...

I went shopping at 3 supermarkets in Chbar Ampov yesterday. Two of them had taken down the signs saying alcohol sales were banned. I asked a worker at one of them if I could buy booze and, after checking with other staff, he said it was now allowed. Obviously, some outlets were getting in early. Cer...

The announcement by the PP Governor was certainly designed to modify the original edict. It seems there was a surge of traffic trying to enter or leave the capital, but they were blocked at the usual places.

According to the Khmer Times, all travel restrictions have been lifted, except for the Red Zone areas of Phnom Penh and Takhmao, so it does involve a major change of policy. I live just outside the PP city boundaries, close to Nat. Rd. 1, and there has been a huge increase in traffic in the past hour.

The explanation of a leg ulcer makes a lot more sense. Gary sometimes had difficulty walking, particularly on the stairs at work. He told us it was a genetic condition that he had inherited and knew how to treat. It probably explains why he couldn't walk or get out of bed in his final days. Thanks f...

I mentioned the death of Barry Moss to Gary and he said he did not know him. Gary wasn't a member of either forum and only heard of items in them through me. There was another slightly strange thing that happened after the doctor and attendants from Sunrise Hospital refused to transport Gary. Frank ...

Thanks for the inquiry, cruefox. Gary and the friend who found him, Frank, watched the Spurs game at Score Bar last Saturday night, as they were both fans. Frank said he appeared quite healthy and was looking forward to teaching again. Things obviously changed rapidly the next day. The ambulance tha...

The poster John Bingham is referring to is either myself or springrain, though springrain stopped working at our school 7 years ago, while I remain Head of the Secondary School, which is where Gary worked. The friend who found him was a fellow British teacher who also works at our Secondary School. ...
