I bet by next month the major private hospitals will have some vaccine program.

Hopefully, the good ones not from China.

If you`re talking next month then it`ll likely be the Sinovac (China) vaccine as nothing else is available, unless private hospitals have managed to get any other vaccines by themselves.

You`ll most likely have to wait to at least April/May/June for any other vaccines, if we`re going by Thailand`s own schedule. Things may of course change, but I doubt there will be anything else available to the public before April. Vaccines also has to go through an approval process.

Free tests for all Thais now. 
We have no cases in Phangnga, but they have been out testing a lot, not just the ones who ask to be tested but the are rounding up a lot in the fishing industry and testing them all.

Thats great. Haven't seen any of that here in Udon. I might of course be wrong so don't take my word for it. However, my wife has several nurse friends and none of them have ever seen any covid testing last I talked with them. Im with one of her nurse friends now actually and she has not heard of anything. Im assuming its nurses doing the testing or?

That is good news, hopefully that single case hasn’t spread it to anyone else. 

Hopefully not. Doesn't look like it but it might just as well be as no ones being tested.

Udon Thani has had 10 cases.

Yes but 9 of them were in January and February last year. We had one guy in our village, one of the very first outside China, a policeman that had attended the boxing arena in BKK. After that there were a few from a cockfight, in the neighbor district Ban Phue. AThere were a couple of cases in the City as well.

The last guy is from the shrimp market in Samut Sakhon two, three weeks ago.

Yes lets sacrifice all the healthcare workers with another vaccine scandal ????

Without them we can walk around on the streets stabbing each other with the AstraZaneca vaccine. Thrillingly exciting.

That's good news (Udon Thani). Hopefully it'll stay like that.

No. A national reporting system is not simple. If you think it is, you need to go help France. Their data is much worse than Thailand. It truth, almost all internet data is smoothed for at least one week to smooth out reporting delays.

 

French data jumping 100s of % almost daily.

 

Ok, I'll tell Norway that. "It's too complicated, slow down".

They have around the same daily numbers as Thailand. Frequently updates as cases comes in. 

Of course France struggles, it's well known they've been a mess for years, no one's surprised their healthcare system couldn't handle such a big outbreak, but why pick the worst examples? There are plenty of others you could've chosen. Plenty you could compare to Thailand's figures.

They have reporting procedures. This is how they work.

 

Lots of detailed information out there but it's all in Thai. If you could read Thai, you  would complain they release too much.

I know there is, and no its not all in Thai.

They can still easily organize better and publish today's numbers today. Wait until say 6PM. Any cases after that will be added tomorrow. Instead of having ALL cases added tomorrow. People want to know today. We're not in the 90's anymore.

Holiday on Friday, work on Saturday, holiday on Sunday lol

I pay 449.- for 250/250 (but I usually get around 350) from CAT. I don't experience any more throttling during nighttime if there's any, but I do experience slower speeds on sports streaming sites overseas (though that is most likely more limited by the other end's bandwidth distribution during high traffic). What's more confusing is the ridiculous routing. Its going all over the place before the connection ends up in Europe. Connecting to say a news website in Norway can take 3-4 seconds, while its less than a second anywhere outside of Europe. Youtube, Netflix, PlutoTV etc I have zero issues with, not even when watching 4k content.

The problem is not Myanmar workers, it's corrupt Thai officials and people smugglers. They don't care, as long as there is money to be had.

Don't forget the tens of thousands of companies all over Thailand that hire migrants, especially Burmese, do so for the cheap labour costs, with or without the help of officials and smugglers.

Years ago, pre-mobile era, when I first came to Thailand, TOT was know for such slow service (instalation of new landlines) it was know as the "Turtlephone Organization of Thailand."

5555 I didn't know that. But not surprising as the telecom and electricity industries in Thailand today aren't exactly known to get things done, if at all, let alone working, as one would expect from a country that consider itself as a 1st world country and a hotspot for the world's wealthiest people.

Aren't these two basically landline phone companies...anyone remember the last time they used a landline?

Most telecom companies began as landline phone companies decades ago. Some even far earlier, such as Dtac's parent company, Telenor began as a telegraph company in 1855 before the phone was introduced in Norway in 1878.

Dtac was founded in 1989. Pretty much before there were anything other than landline phones.

I would be interested if you could post the data of the Age distribution and this NOT on the number of cases (simply meaning you tested positive with the PCR-test), but on the number of people hospitalized with severe symptoms as well as those that died OF covid (and not WITH it).

I have seen statistics on the above (hence my statement) but cannot find them anymore otherwise I'd post them in response.

I grant you the younger and healthier you are the less likely "anything", but that`s very far from none. There are plenty of young and healthy people who get severely ill as well. In fact, I`ve read somewhere in Norwegian news a couple of months ago that around 20% of people under 30 has gotten permanent damage to one or more organs (lungs, brain, heart etc...). Take that with a grain of salt as covid hasn`t been around long enough to gather the data necessary to give a definite answer. What is known however, is that severe fatigue is the most common long term (3 months+) effects, which is the same with all SARS viruses. That`s the brain. Data from previous SARS outbreaks,40% has chronic fatigue symptoms 3,5 years later. Who knows what that actually does to you permanently. Same goes to lowered lung capacity which is the second most. There`s a lot of unknowns, but the actual scientific medical community is warning you that it is much worse than you think. Who do you want to believe? Them or the people who educate themselves reading a random youtube comment?

Sure, the top at WHO <deleted> up when they sucked up to China`s nonsense, that doesn`t mean the thousands of scientists working with WHO is like that. Be reasonable.
