wacky covid cures

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Something about injecting disinfectant and bright lights... :stir:

There was the egg one. Good stuff there. Straight from the mouth of a two day old baby.

Of course smoking weed. It cures Everything, right... :roll:

There was the semen drinking lady. I'm still trying to figure out how to convince the opposite sex of the truth in that one.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Cambodia's special weapon against COVID-19 : Ting Mong

Story of Fighting COVID-19: Cambodia's scarecrows ease the mind
In Siem Reap, capital of northwest Cambodia's Siem Reap province, people make scarecrows, known as Ting Mong, to protect themselves against COVID-19. They are generally made of straw and branches and dressed in old clothing.

Maden, a Siem Reap local, said he has seen such a traditional practice ever since his childhood, which is to bolster the belief that Cambodians can survive out of the diseases.

The head monk at the Wat Bo Buddhist Pagoda in Siem Reap said that this practice has been around for at least a hundred years and is used to ward off evil spirits, illnesses and diseases, such as leprosy in the past. But it only provides people with emotional comfort during difficult times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic they are experiencing now. Maden said making a Ting Mong makes people feel happy and protected. It's a feeling of peace.

I noticed these when driving down Highway 6 a couple of days ago and wondered why I had not noticed them before. Had no idea they were related to coronavirus. They work as well as anything I suppose.
