Well...................... "There are only three possible explanations then for the settlement: Either he was lying in that response - and remembered her well Or he genuinely had no recollection - and was adamant they hadn't met - only for his memory subsequently to be jogged Or that he maintains his innocence, but feels the weight of legal and public opinion against him now make settling the easier option, albeit without accepting any liability." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60407806 I'll speculate with the first response, he was lying.

I'll go with the facts...................... "it didn't happen" even though there was a photo of him with his arm round her in Ghislaine Maxwell's house on the same night....lol

So the hospitals were never full in the Delta wave, those photos of patients lined up in beds outside were fake, those dying at home because of lack of medical facilities was just an illusion?

Actually he said "It didn't happen." If I was a Prince on a London night out then head to a house in Belgravia, which just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell's house with her in the background and a blonde young girl with me with my arm round her, yes I probably would remember, he does remember he did not sweat in the nightclub..............

In the infamous interview with Emily Maitlis on the BBC, Prince Andrew denied ever meeting her despite the photo of him with his arm round her, that interview said it all, total liar. Prince Andrew's statement seems to contradict answers he gave me - Emily Maitlis https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60407806

Unfortunately the damage has already been done with the double tap Test and Go. Its going to take a lot more than doing away with the second test now to get any good numbers of real tourists to come. What a complete mess they've made of this entry system. Tourists Returning to Thailand Find Closed Bars, Empty Streets The country’s attempt to jump-start tourism may be hurt by the absence of the very businesses foreign visitors come for. Thailand’s strict travel regulations, such as requirements to take multiple Covid tests and provide proof of medical insurance with at least $50,000 coverage, will also limit the type of people who come. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-16/pandemic-has-thailand-s-tourists-returning-to-closed-bars-and-empty-streets

UK and US yes but I would do as you preach and check the statistical reports from South Africa, first country in the world to detect Omicron and deaths still on the up

You'll find it unrealistic to find any study giving absolute proof as the parameters don't allow it, so the best a study can do is provide statistical probabilities. Seeing as you asked however, this one published in Nature two days ago and fully peer reviewed. mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies more effective than natural immunity in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 and its high affinity variants https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-06629-2 Published 16th Feb 2022

Yes thanks,

No need to count Google is your friend, its gone up now anyway

Austria and Sweden too, I'm pretty sure it won't be too long before the US goes down the same route as hospitalizations are decreasing rapidly and most of them are the unvaccinated by choice.

Back to bubble and seal and let herd immunity develop within the sites...........thought we saw the end of this last year..sad

Having those opinions I think you should also add that this is because of vaccines and particularly the boosters that is rendering Omicron far less deadly. While the actual variant is less virulent it still has teeth and according to a SA study is only about 25% less virulent than than Delta. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/coronavirus/1642185622-south-african-study-suggests-omicron-less-severe-even-for-unvaccinated https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.12.22269148v1

While they are busy doing that Omicron is happily spreading throughout the Thai community and cares not what factories they check for migrants.

Not reported much in MSM? You've just given a link to the main Reuters report which through its news agency distribution network reaches over 2,000 publishers and 600 broadcasters each day...lol. Just put this in Google and see how many results you get "We'll all be dead before FDA releases full COVID vaccine record, plaintiffs say" about 487,000 results

No particularly scientific and lacks variables but as a straight forward comparison using ourworldindata 7 day rolling average for cases and deaths. 16th Feb 2022 = 15,791 PCR positive cases & 24.57 official deaths 30th July 2021 = 15,809 PCR positive cases & 124 official deaths No doubt some impact showing here from vaccination induced immunity and the Omicron variant being less virulent? The question however is how high this will go, ICU and Ventilated cases on the up so we can expect to see a rising death count but it may stay below the triple digit mark hopefully! Or maybe that's wishfull thinking on my part. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/

PCR test positive cases, total of 18,066 official new infections. 27 official covid deaths recorded. Rapid tests positive cases, 9,956 bringing the total of PCR and ATK results to 28,022 https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/ Rolling 7 day average chart from 16th Feb https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

Covid cases per million people Thailand actually has more cases than Hong Kong right now but South Korea is on a mission to the moon! https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

The Public Health Ministry should consult with the Dept of Disease Control that publishes the official hospital numbers daily. Yesterdays numbers were: 163 on ventilators 728 in ICU 64,919 in hospital covid wards receiving treatment Then of course there are the ones just quarantined with mild or no symptoms in hospitels, community isolation centers and home isolation: 79,142 https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/

That's correct, its the official policy for Thailand with Pfizer, here is a handy chart to display the time required for boosters and different vaccines. https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/searo/thailand/2022_01_26_tha-sitrep-220-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=bf4f76d6_5

No need, its already cowering away in fear and doing a good job of isolating itself.
