while i agree with your post about the covid giving debilitating conditions, but surely this condition is not confined just to Covid, is it ?

im guessing there are many other illnesses and diseases that give these conditions too,, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, etc, yet we only ever seem to mention the Covid one. 

...hmmm!  Sars Covid2 is a new virus found and has no precedent, so all has to be learnt about it by studying it closely.

This wave will burn out by the middle to end of January if not sooner. The virus just doesn't spread in Thailand like other places and it is not nearly as severe. They are having all of these infections now but watch in about 2 weeks the deaths will hardly tick up. The spread may continue at a moderate pace due to actual testing but watch the death numbers barely move. The weak in Thailand die, the weak in the West are kept alive with a pile of pills, so there are far, far more people who can be killed by this virus due to pre-existing conditions. 

 

Look what happened at the beginning of this pandemic in Thailand. Thailand shut down and millions of workers who lost their jobs were supposed to scatter across the country and bring the virus to every corner of Thailand and nothing much happened. If that initial pin headed move didn't crush Thailand with the virus a few hundred folks sneaking across the border bringing the virus with them won't either. 

 

Do you all really think this is the only tiny spike of the virus Thailand has experienced in the last 12 months? It has probably been going on the whole time but nobody noticed because there are so few severe cases in Thailand. No matter what the government does, mark my words, this will completely blow over in less than a month. Lockdown or not lockdown will make no difference, it will be gone shortly.

..i for one will not 'mark your words', as i doubt very much that your are virologist...its not about the deaths but more of the debilitating resulting conditions the sufferers have to bear.

Blah blah blah????   Who/what is all this about?  

Blah blah = My opinion and analysis of the history of the pandemic in Thailand.

WHO = World Health Organization. 

What is all this about = how this country hasn't done the right and proper thing by controlling its borders and those officials and other persons in authority.

Do you get it now?

TAT press ahead: Governor expects TEN MILLION foreign tourists in 3rd Quarter

 

REUTERS file photo for reference only

 

Thailand's Tourism Authority governor said he is pressing ahead with attracting ten million foreign tourists to visit the country.

 

Yutthasak Suphasorn said they wouldn't be coming until the third quarter of 2021 but then they would be here in their millions. 

 

That was the target.

 

And they would be spending a whopping 500 billion baht, he told Thai PBS. 

 

Even though there has been a new wave of Covid-19 infections he was anxious to stress that it was still all systems go to return Thailand to mass tourism. 

 

Even the New Year period was destined to be good, he said on Friday, with 2.7 million Thais expected to travel spending 17 billion baht in the process. 

 

The lack of lockdown would help along with clear guidelines of how to handle visits from tourists in tourism areas.

 

The upbeat message comes as Thaivisa reports today of complete obliteration of tourism at New Year in Rayong and a desolate Christmas on once thriving Koh Samui. 

 

In Rayong nearly 100% of seaside tours were cancelled and hotel bookings were down 80%.

 

Thaivisa notes that there appears a strong disconnect between reality on the ground and the pronouncements of the TAT governor.

 

Yutthasak was with the Digital Council of Thailand and health authorities on Christmas Day promoting an online platform for booking 14 day ASQ and ALQ quarantine facilities.

What a fiasco.  Does this have anything to do with Thailands contract with Astrazenica and the wanting to build there own lab as well to create a vaccine.  If there is a vaccine that works shouldn't everyone have the option to choose,

...i might checkout..Shopee and Lazada!

This is the Thai black market? Does the Government know that you have to place the order first before you get the vaccines?

...and do you think foreigners will be eligible to receive it...hmm!

Why talk about March now? If this accelerates, lockdown has to be implemented much sooner.

instead of 'plans to test', given incompetence, corruption and lying politicians here, give me 'has tested'

...let's face it..Thais like to 'dress up' strut about acting important..the bulk of these workers have no real idea of the practicalities involved with mass testing. Doctors, Nurses, Scientists and those other medically informed folk do; however they really need to get their act together with this. The gate is wide open and the horse has bolted..time to repair the fences (borders) and tighten up the whole illegal entry points..and hey, you may even see a reduction in the illegal human trafficking and drug movement.

Why has Anutin not been fired yet? He is so incompetent, has no experience in the field of health and just cannot help but put his foot in his mouth, nearly every time he opens it. He is the polar opposite of diplomatic. Not to mention being a racist. 

..cause he wants the big job.

...careless, reckless, ignorant...they have no idea what they're dealing with.

...as the Anutin Space Racket Rocket lifts off the pad and roars into the upper stratosphere; i hope they take a long hard look in the rear view mirror at the big mess below them.

So if you went to China you would take a dump in an airport lounge, or India at the side of the street. 

In LOS, do you sit in restaurants with your finger up your nose, do you double-park at the door of Tesco...?????

_...probably.

..i would safely say the 'farang' learnt to ride here..he had ample time to take evasive action or stop, thus avoiding the need to drop his bike and go berserk..he was no doubt in the right, but that doesn't heal a broken leg or repair the damage..I couldnt help think after seeing his helmet-cam, that he was out and about looking for an accident to happen, and it happened to him..he should be concentrating harder...i hope his injuries were only minor.

...you might be 'targeting 20,000' but i doubt if you will 'hit' many of them...after all you can't even patrol and keep your own borders under control...you may make up the numbers by illegal means.
