What a frigging self made mess. If insurance companies don't pay for Green cases then the insurance is useless and that should have been identified before regulations for sandbox or test and go were ever implemented.

Damn, this is what I was worried about, getting seriously ****** off now Phuket Communicable Disease Committee has decided to close all schools and to teach online instead from 4-14 January in order to prevent new clusters. This follows the news of 184 Covid-19 cases in one day https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1478202920382328832 https://mgronline.com/south/detail/9650000000682 Yet bars/restaurants and other venues can carry on as normal, the main culprits for clusters!

Thailand's strategy of incarcerating most of those who get infected seems to be paying dividends in keeping the numbers down, who on earth wants to report a positive test if its mild symptoms or none at all, only to be then locked up for 2 weeks, especially a foreigner who has the pleasure to pay a premium for it. That and the sheer lack of official testing of course.

Omicron Wave Expected to be Less Severe Than Delta

Just for a possible comparison on what it may be like here in Thailand, here's a balanced and honest update on the state of the NHS hospitals and care homes by there CEO, some positive news and indications that they will pull through this without further restrictions but extreme pressure still on with rising cases and lots of staff absences due to Omicron which makes existing staff have to work even harder. Here is his summary after a 25 thread long tweet, lots of good information on there well worth reading the full string of tweets from today 3rd Jan "SUMMARY Rest of country now under pressure. Some trusts declaring critical incidents to manage staff absences. Recent London data, fact that London/NHS currently "coping" & absence of large nos. of seriously ill offer grounds for optimism. But future still uncertain. 25/25" https://twitter.com/ChrisCEOHopson/status/1477941212648808451 -

Chon Buri Launches Proactive COVID-19 Case-finding Operations

Probably one of the most nonsensical statements ever made by officials. Omicron is not and never can be under control until it burns itself out and infected all it can.
