Take a look at Herman Cain Awards on reddit.

There you can see that the young, healthy, with strong immune systems catch COVID and go to the hospital and often die.

It's the numerator, not the denominator, if 1/1000 or 1/1,000,000 if you are the 1....

OK, thank you for the update ????

The unvaccinated are significantly more likely to become seriously ill, hospitalized or die.

Do you mean the TINY MINORITY of high-risk unvaccinated folks with underlying HEALTH conditions are significantly more likely to become seriously ill, hospitalized, or die? Or, are you suggesting that anyone... whatever their age, weight, physical condition, and health status... are significantly more likely to become seriously ill, hospitalized, or die if they're unvaccinated? I've never quite understood the broad use of "The Unvaccinated," so I'm open to being educated.  

Thank you.

Thai Doctor Warns of New "Covid 22 Virus"

After everything people have gone through, one can't help wonder why headlines like this are matters of public interest. I mean, who decides it's a good idea to throw stuff like this out there for all to see? 
 

Other recent headlines have read: 
 

Warning of Potential African Swine Fever Spreading Across Thailand. 

And how about:
 

Poultry farmers in Thailand warned by WHO of the re-emergence of H5N6 bird flu. 

Heck, it wasn't long ago when NASA warned of a threat to earth posed by meteors. The list goes on... it does. 

Experts, if you're reading, please, <deleted> with your DOOM AND GLOOM until we actually need to run for them there hills. 
 

Thank you.

Is this satire? Where does it say the grandson deliberately killed his gran? It doesn't even say he knew he had Covid on his return from Phuket? The news just states matter of fact how the grandmother likely caught the virus.

Yes, that's right, but it's totally wrong and completely unnecessary. Leave the grieving grandson out of the story, that's what I say. They tried the "Don't Kill Grannie and GET VACCINATED' headline in the UK. It was soon dropped for obvious reasons.

...was thought to have contracted COVID-19 from her grandson

What an awful way to report an unfortunate situation. They could have just reported, "A bed-ridden 86-year-old woman who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease has died from Omicron variant." But instead, the news has blamed the grandson for killing his grannie. That's very insensitive. Perhaps there will be a follow-up story to say he was unvaccinated. Phew! You can just hear the anti-anti-COVID-vaxxer mob preparing their virtual lynching.

Singapore makes the unvaccinated pay for their hospital treatment which I think should be brought in here. The threat of having to sell their house to pay for treatment may concentrate the minds of antivaxers. Why should I  pay for treating them?

Where would you draw the line, Chang1?
 
For example, there are around 166,000 cancer deaths in the UK alone every 12 months (more than double the country's COVID-19 death rate). By the way, that's FROM cancer, not WITH it. And according to WHO, up to 50% of all cancer cases are preventable. 
 

Perhaps the clueless DIY Disaster Dads should also pay for orthopedic treatment for broken bones and amputations? And let's not forget all that costly care and treatment for preventable obesity, alcohol, and smoking-related illness. The list goes on… and on… and on. 
 

Heck, with your logic, only the fit and healthy would be entitled to medical treatment, but then, they wouldn't need it, would they.

The vaccination center at Promenada is gone - you might have found out by yourself.

There are a few walk-in places currently in CM, they operate a few days at a time, the largest is at Central Airport (aka Airport Plaza) I hear they are working this weekend. Second floor, in front of Uniqlo.

Thank you, arithai12 ????

The Wall of Chiang Mai is not accepting any new Registrations. So not sure if you have registered before or not. But your best bet would be to go to one of the vaccination centers, like Central Airport, and hand them your passport. A friend of mine, who was vaccinated in another country and thus has no Wall of Chiang Mai registration, just turned up and Central Airport and was given a booster and a new 13 digit number on the spot.

Thank you, Chesterburb1 ????

It's on your vaccination  certificate.  It's  matched to your passport  number so call the hospital who gave you the vaccination.

BUT REALLY!!?? You didn't make a copy of this very important  number.

Please see my previous response before making assumptions. Thank you.

You can't log on to mor prom without  the 13 digit number.

Fair enough, Hammer. Perhaps someone here can try to retrieve their number to see if the problem is widespread or local to me?

Aren't you supposed to type in your 13 digit ID number?

 

If you had previously booked online, you should have jotted down the number. Our vaccination cert also show the number.

I haven't been vaccinated yet due to a potential health (brain clotting) concern. However, I was given the all-clear yesterday. That's why I haven't got any saved data.

Download mor chana app, register with passport number.  Everything should be tracked in single location so if it recognises you by passport number when you look at your certificates on the app you should see your ID number there.

 

Note I have a pink ID card number, that is not the number I was allocated on the vaccine certificate, it was a new allocated number.

Thank you, Bangel72 ????

Good afternoon, Chiang Mai.
 

I can't seem to recall my COVID-19 Vaccination 13-digit ID number. Am I missing something here? I have tried different web browsers, but the space where the number should be is always blank.

OK, thank you, everybody. I just wanted to confirm, that's all. Appreciate all the responses.
 

Happy New Year.

Hi, Folks.

Can someone please confirm that this is the Promenada Mall where the COVID Vaccination Centre is?

Promenada Chiang Mai

Thank you in advance,

I've never seen a longer line just to get into the Makro HD parking lot at around 1:00PM today- traffic was backed up to the intersection.

Yes, this is what I mean. As others have stated, it's always busy at this time of year, but this year seems extreme. I saw similar traffic ques yesterday at around the same time, so I didn't bother going in. But it wasn't much different at 10 am this morning. There certainly doesn't seem to be any fear of the coronavirus. Still, that may be a good thing now... all things considered.

Hi, folks. 
 

You may want to give Makro Mae Hia a miss today if you're worried about coronavirus. I was there at around 10 am, and it was packed and getting busier all the time. Seriously, it was like a gigantic Petri dish. Parking is also bumper-to-bumper. And few were social distancing inside; it would have been difficult anyway due to the numbers. It might quieten down later in the day, but my guess it's going to get even busier, at least until early evening.

What one sided narrative are you referring to? All media reported widely on the narrative expressed by Dr Angelique  Coetzee where she was saying it’s nothing to worry about. However is she right or wrong? That’s yet to be evidenced fully. All media has reported the findings of the studies carried out in South Africa.

 

The media has also reported on the studies of other countries such a UK and on WHO statements.

 

Do you really think there is a concerted effort to bury real studies coming out about Omicron? It’s highly transmissible, it may well be less severe but it may also overwhelm some countries putting the health service at risk, even if it does not they still need to plan for that. 
 

That’s as far as I know and as far as has been reported. What makes you think there is more deliberately being hidden by YouTube or any other media channel?

I give up!

You’re not going to find many real expert virologists or epidemiologists with their own YouTube channel, they are far to busy with their work in this pandemic. Producing a channel is timing consuming and a full time job. it also creates a conflict of interest on the money to be made from youtube. 
 

If they appear on youtube it’s normally through a third party interview.

Correctamundo! It's the regular news channels they've already appeared on posting... no... pushing.... what's already been aired. They're all over YouTube, so that the message doesn't get lost. But the poor sods who oppose these views (I'm talking about other experts, no some radom vlogger) get canceled for daring to disagree. I don't understand why no one can see what's been happening.

Look, if there are opposing views from equally qualified experts, we should be allowed to hear them on the same platforms. It's so wrong to block them from public media. How the heck is the layperson supposed to make well-informed decisions when they're only fed one-sided narratives. Geesh!

Of course that’s not true.

 

There is debate right now about the severity of Omicron. You are just not paying attention.

Wrong! It's not a debate; it's the same old names with the same old faces spouting the same old line. 
 

"We just haven't got enough data yet to know for sure..." nods everyone outside of SA, irrespective of what they might think.

We are far from God's Chosen Ones. As a human race we are doomed anyway. Our extinction will be brought upon us by our own doing. Google the Fermi Paradox and the theory of life destroying itself.

But I believe everything happens for a reason and if it's our time, perhaps it might come very soon.

Well, 99.9 percent of all species that have existed on planet Earth are now extinct, why not us? Once nature has had enough of any living organism, she has a way of removing it. We might be intelligent, but can't outsmart the natural order of things. Hell, we can't even stop a light breeze from blowing. Where's the good lord above when you need her!!!

Hahaha lol ???? I had to laugh, but it's not really funny. 
 

I mean, imagine if there was such a thing as an Earth Doctor. How would it view this pleasure-seeking race known as Homosapien? That's right, we'd be labeled as an aggressive cancer. After all, we destroy everything we touch and have no place at all in the fine balance of nature. 
 

Heck, if we're really God's chosen ones, all I can say is that Lucifer's got some serious competition on his hands. See, the truth is... as a species... you know... we ain't very nice, we're just not.
 

But hey, I might have got it all completely wrong… it happens. In which case, someone wiser than I should correct me.
