General PayPal Cashandcheck has been given a kickin here for his handling of everything so if something works well we should probably recognise it.

IF something works well.
"Thailand's government is using green chiretta to treat people with asymptomatic or mild coronavirus infections, following a trial in prisons which found that 99% of those who consumed the plant recovered."
We should compare that with the base rate:
Considering the population as a whole, over 99% of people recover anyway & I suspect the average age in prisons would be lower, so increasing survival rates.
A little more information is needed to decide if this is reliable, or more bullshit, like the story last year where a Thai doctor claimed to have a very effective treatment after processing just a handful of patients.
If they have results for a reliable double blind trial, it might be worth considering.

It may well be BS - but it's a bit like issuing the troops with amulets - if the Thais believe it works, nothing else matters..
