Doesn't make sense as they could just as easily get it from grandson or anyone else in the household.

It's quite clearly environmental factors. Cambodia isn't on it's own, this whole region has had no where near the impact we've seen in Europe and North America:

Do you use the Tapatalk app on your cellphone? If you so, then just take a photo of your spreadsheet, then add the photo with the button to the right just on top of the keyboard.

Thanks. No I don't but
a) in brighter news, I've worked out how to use the quote function already and
b) I will have a go (in all probability tomorrow as I'm just turning in now) at taking a photo of my spreadsheet, and uploading the picture. :good:

errr, actually..."the button to the right just on top off the keyboard" ??? my keyboard or are you talking about an icon of a keyboard ?

I've actually gone to the trouble of completing the following process:

1. taken a photo of the spreadsheet.
2. uploaded it to facebook
3. downloaded it to my desktop.

Now just got to find that pesky button just above my keyboard !

The photo is surprisingly clear so I'm pretty excited about finding this button now.

Re: The Cambodian Coronavirus Exception ?

Cambodia has joined a small list of mostly Pacific Island nations with no official active coronavirus cases, but some question the numbers.
Updated 18 hours ago
By Jarni Blakkarly
Cambodia’s last coronavirus patient was discharged from a hospital in Phnom Penh on the weekend, meaning the country now officially has zero active patients with the disease.

The Southeast Asian country has reported a total of 122 coronavirus cases, but has officially recorded no deaths from the virus.

Cambodia joins a handful of countries declared coronavirus-free - most of them in the Pacific Islands - but Lee Morgenbesser, a senior lecturer at Griffith University who studies Cambodia, is sceptical about the government's figures.

“The government there has a documented history of lying and deception over a very long period of time,” he told SBS News.

“They have passed laws that make it a jailable offence to disprove the government when it comes to COVID-19. You aren’t going to get people coming out and saying the government is lying,” he added.

He said recent government crackdowns on free press and the opposition parties meant there was no alternative source of information coming out of the country to challenge the government’s narrative.

“There is a long history of lying to outside audiences and to other organisations. There are no checks and balances anymore, so there is no one to come out and challenge the lies,” he said.

He also noted the country had done an “insufficient” number of tests given its population size and cautioned against declaring the country COVID-free.

Cambodia's health ministry said on the weekend that 14,684 tests had been carried out since January among the country's 16 million people. In Australia, with a population of 25 million, more than one million tests have been conducted.

However, Associate Professor Peter Annear from Melbourne University said that statistics coming out of Cambodia were just as believable as any other country's.

He says the country likely owes its success to the fast and dramatic measures put in place by the government early in the pandemic.

"They shut down the borders to international tourists early, even though it is a large part of the economy. They also cancelled new year celebrations and limited travel between provinces," he said.

He also noted that 80 per cent of its population lived in rural areas so it was a lot less dense than many of the urban countries that had experienced major outbreaks.
