Another reason why Oxford vaccine (perhaps others) was so quick and also effective is it has basically been in development for years (possible decade(s)) for such a scenario. It's not a last minute, rush to get it out thing.
..Scientists were aware of Corona virus variants back in 2004 and went to China in a field study..it was predicted by her in a medical paper that the Corona virus would be a hug problem in years to come..no-one took her serious and no drug company was prpeared to outlay the funds to develop a vaccine.
My reference is: Professor Vincent Racianello in This Week in Virology, YouTube Podcast series.

...agree..he's young, single, no ties (but sharing on a meagre salary of AU$10000 per month), with both feet in paradise...he is better off than a lot of us retirees here!
If its that urgent, he could, borrow the money, by a small yacht and island-hop his way home..what an adventure that would be!
..sorry, should read AU$1,000.

Thailand's Covid-19 situation 'not a cause for concern yet'
By The Nation
Thailand's Covid-19 situation is not severe, an infectious disease expert at MedPark Hospital, said on Sunday.
Asst Prof Mondej Sookpranee said the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Johns Hopkins (JHU) evaluate the situation in each country once they receive information.
According to WHO, Thailand's number of Covid-19 cases from December 14 to January 14 and 24-hour average were 7,025 and 271 respectively, accounting for an infection rate of 10.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively per 100,000 population.
Meanwhile, JHU said the country's number of Covid-19 cases in the past 30 days and 24-hour average were 7,189 and 459 respectively, accounting for an infection rate per 100,000 population of 10.4 per cent and 0.7 per cent respectively.
"Both organisations have evaluated Thailand in "not high burden and not growing" countries, thanks to people's cooperation to contain the spread of the virus", Mondej said.
He urged Thais to continue following the government's Covid-19 prevention measures.

Despite some animals are living and eaten here, the population eating it, never died of it, nor get infected a lot. I think I spent more time than you will ever be capable of doing in what you call ' up country' areas.... Never got sick eating there.... I would also add that if the local food was that dangerous to eat,you mentioned rats, but didn't mention to eat, there wouldn't be any locals left since long....The regions you mention, like China, are used to wearing masks long before it was ever mentioned in Western world; I think it is YOU who should protect yourself more. Maybe you forgot, or are not aware, horses are also food in large parts of Europe.....Not Wikipedia source, experience.....
..i listen and adhere to proven Western medical information concerning bacterium, viruses, parasites and fungi..happy travels.

..Warorot, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Mae Sai, Sankamphaeng, Mae On, Phrae, Nan, Pua, Chompoo and i would safely say almost every day market of every large town in every province..Ive seen them ..eels, frogs, crabs, both salt and freshwater, insects, fishes, shrimp both sea and fresh, pork, chicken, all unfrigerated or cooled, just sitting there in buckets or basins of water or no water thrashing about, or trussed up in their death throws in a stinking market with flies being squatted on the meat they're crawling on, then flicked off. These are the markets your everyday low income earner has to go to. Are you a RimPing man!
Not your fault if you haven't gotten out and about to experience it.
Out in the countryside you see the grey and the white herons and cranes that fly in from Vietnam (the declared origins of the Mers and Sars viruses)..these graceful flying things bring and spread all sorts of disease.
Then of course there are rats, turtles, snakes, dogs, rogue elephants, protected barking deer, leopard etc that are eaten as well in these areas. Most are hallowed creatures, but when it suits them the people still eat them.
Up country, that's outside the snugly urban area are caves and jungle where the wild bat lives. These are essential in most parts of the world for the pollination of flowers on crops and trees and plants so as the world has on ongoing supply of fresh fruit and vegetables and cereal crops.
However one bat, the commonly known 'horse-shoe bat' appears to be the culprit in spreading Sars-CoVi-2 virus.
YouTube has a lot of interesting videos on these markets with one BBC crew filming them not that long ago.
Wikepedia has a lot of good references.
Another good reference is the WHO, called the World Health Organization, they have a lot of data and even statistics on the number of cases of each member country, including deaths, yes 'jomtienisgood' humans have died, didn't you know how filthy humanity is and just how the other (more than half) live?
We are lucky in our Westernization we eat freshly prepared foods that have been certified and strictly controlled.
Don't you think it time China, Thailand and all the other countries urgently stopped these dangerous practices?
You had best make sure you wear a mask, eye protection, disposable gloves, safe distance yourself from the rest of humanity, as it appears your know nothing.
Keep safe.

Whaow.... Thailand is one of the only counties in the world with a close to zero rate of infected. Where did you get your info??? Reading the rest of your poetry I wonder if you have ever been anywhere in Asia or get your wisdom out of some magazine.
What!...have a look around you..every market here has wildlife, crustaceans from the jungles, fields etc, the same bat genre, the same herons and cranes that carry the bird flu viruses. Thailand is very compliant but have done very little testing..go figure!

We will be the last to be vaccinated unless we get it through private hospitals paying through the nose for it and that way the Government doesn't have to consider buying vaccines for us dirty farang as Anutin called us .
..i contacted AETNA Health Insurance (Chiang Mai) two weeks ago; they assured me they would be accessing the programme for their insured here..no other details available as yet as to cost, certification, locations etc. They may have been lying too!

...agreed!...what tourist in their right mind would want to visit a country more or less next door to the origins of the virus; a country who is home to billions of bats, Mers carriers, Sars carriers etc. etc.
IMHO opinion until Asia gets its act together with food habits, presentation, markets and general food hygiene, its going to continue, as is the real risk of further new viruses emerging and more potent variants of existing known viruses.

The constant repetition of insulting state sponsored schemes to rid tourists of money just becomes tiresome.
Thailand is seriously hurting due to the absence of international tourist yet complete imbeciles are still trying to figure out ways to scheme more money from the very people it wants to attract.
So often I’m astonished by the outrageously flawed mindset of those in positions who come up with this stuff.
When I read news such as this I draw the opinion that Thailand doesn’t deserve tourists, but sadly it is the general population who would be hurt, while those in positions of power dream up more schemes from which to graft and skim funds.
..next they will re-introduce the old 'departure tax' as well.

Not just any company. Agreement is with a company (Siam Biotech?) and AZ and not with Thai govt. A company needs to be set up for it. You can"t just hand contracts to any company. There is a big difference between making aspirins and making a vaccine. Did you know this?
..and guess whom owns SiamBiotech.

frustrating isn't it?...BUT...it's never going to be 'over' until they develop a vaccine to knock out all Corona viruses..and that is years away!..even with the current Sars-Covi-2 vaccinations you will still need to wear a mask and safe distance until at least 70% of us have been vaccinated..sorry to 'rain on your parade'.

Todays e mail, from May7th, yesterday. My parents got their forms to sign up for vaccinations, this month. Yes they are elderly. yet,... My brother's family will get theirs by mid february. They will have a follow up shot a month after the first inoculation. So it is cranking right along.
It would be nice if Thailand had a greater sense of urgency.
...so, only Thai Citizens are going to be vaccinated..foreigners/aliens have to arrange their own..??

So today's total of new cases is going to top 1,000 for the first time. Might even top 1,500 if it's been a bad day in the provinces.
Mr Prayut, this is not something to be proud of. Listen to your experts in the CCSA, for goodness sake. Get your finger out and fix it!

No lockdown in Samut Sakhon, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat: PM
REUTERS FILE photo for reference only
Thailand’s Prime Minister on Tuesday confirmed there is no lockdown in Samut Sakhon, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat.
The clarification comes after Deputy Public Health Minister and MP for Rayong province, Satit Pitutacha, posted on Facebook on Monday evening, thanking the PM for approving the proposal to lockdown the aforementioned provinces.
However, on Tuesday morning, the PM said no lockdown is in place in the five provinces or anywhere else in Thailand, TNA MCOT reported.
This was reiterated by Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin during the daily COVID-19 briefing.
Dr Taweesin said that while the provinces were operating at the “highest and intensifying level of control”, no lockdown was in place.
Late on Monday, Chonburi governor Phakthorn Thianchai announced a number of provincial restrictions aimed at helping to limit the spread of the virus.

Cambodian-Vietnamese border has been tightened as a new coronavirus variant was detected in Vietnam, with anyone entering the Kingdom to be quarantined.
Ros Pharith, deputy governor of Svay Rieng province, said today regarding travel restrictions on the Cambodian Vietnam border, authorities have implemented strict measures to prevent illegal crossing of Cambodian and Vietnamese migrant workers.
“We have tightened the border since COVID-19 outbreak in Cambodia and at the border, if people are coming in and out, we need to have them quarantined for 14 days,” Pharith said.
...a 'variant' is not a 'strain'..which one is it?...more scaremongering.
