According to https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/vaccines/7/ Sinovac has been in 37 countries. They can't all be influenced by CP.

True. Half of those countries ordered the vaccine before CP invested.

The answer seems to be as clear as mud.  Apparently CP owns shares in a Hong Kong based company Sino Biopharmaceutical and that Sino Biopharmaceutical holds a 15% right to Sinovac company. Sinovac Life Sciences.  Now CP said that it was a minority shareholder but did not disclose its ownership percentage of Sino Biopharmaceutical.  
If CP owned 100% of Sino Biopharmaceutical it would in turn own 15% of Sinovac.  But I can not establish what percentage of ownership CP actually has. 

Sorry it was 15%, you are correct. According to wikipedia Sino Biopharmaceutical is a subsidiary of CP Group, so presumable 100% owned by CP under the CP Pharmaceutical Group banner

This guy must be tone deaf as they say. This is unlikely to garner sympathy from anyone in Thailand

I very much doubt those in charge could actually make soup, that would be useful in a crisis

If you wanted to make things as worse as possible, follow the Thai model. Close down country and inflict max pain a year before the virus even hits. This ensures every small business owner is completely wiped out even before arrival of the main spreading months. Then, when everyone is devastated, fed up and poor, the virus sweeps the country. 
 

perfectly played. 

Exactly right. 

Bare minimum from those in charge. If enough people go along with it, it might help

Baby boomers being selfish and only thinking about themselves? Imagine my shock! Imagine if the world operated entirely by your selfish logic. “Old people might die, so we need to restructure society to accommodate that.” This isn’t any different from “Drunk drivers might kill some people, so we need to halt all driving to protect those at risk.”

”Some people might abuse alcohol so it needs to be banned for everyone.” 
 

You are an awful GRANDMA KILLER if you don’t want to sacrifice your income and livelihoods for a small portion of the population who are most vulnerable to the virus that greater than 99% of people survive! Being on board with Thailand’s version of a COVID lockdown is like being on board with Stalin’s Five Year Plan. Thailand’s version of COVID lockdowns are a dictator’s wet dream. Even if you lose your job because everything is shut down, you can’t even travel back to your hometown and live with family because travel is restricted.. How can anyone except bitter old pensioners who don’t need to worry about where their next meal comes from, be on board with that?
 

Here’s an idea: how about the ones most vulnerable, go self isolate if they’re so afraid. No contact with anyone, we will slide trays of food and supplies under the door or leave it outside after they are thoroughly soaked in sanitizer. We’ll send you a vaccine kit when they’re available and you can inject yourself with it, it’s not hard.

Let all the young, able bodied people choose between getting covid, or not being homeless. Statistics are on their side if they catch COVID; they’ll get better. COVID is not the ultimate doomsday virus that is going to kill EVERYONE! 
 

If the aging pensioners took better care of their health, they wouldn’t need to be so afraid of a virus with a greater than 99% survival rate, but personal responsibility and self control is hard, and being fat and unhealthy is easy. ????????‍♂️
 

 

So everyone here on board with yet another lockdown (since the other ones worked so well, right?) where can I come collect my GF’s monthly salary generously provided by you, after yet another indefinite lockdown puts her out of work again?  I’m standing by with her K-bank account numbers, you can go ahead and make direct deposits. ????????
 

 

 

That's a great rant, now tell me what it was about

If I was the governor of Phuket. I would order barricades at the bridge today. Everyone will be thinking it's the safest place to be and will try to get in by whatever means necessary.
Same goes for all of the islands. Close down those ferries now.

So what good is the wearing of masks and the various restrictions actually doing?

FFP3 masks still prevent delta transmission 100%, so still worth using one

Thailand may have infection numbers “3-4 times higher” than the government declared total

 

Experts say that Thailand may have Covid-19 infection numbers 3-4 times higher than the total number declared by the government per day, according to insiders within the healthcare sector.

 

According to a doctor at the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services group, experts at the Private Hospitals Association meeting on Wednesday suggested that the real number of Covid-19 infections could be much higher than that being declared by the government.

 

“We have no idea what the total number is but it could literally be 3 to 4 times higher than what is being declared based on the statistics we have gathered at our hospitals,” the doctor said on condition of anonymity.

At last! Possibly one of the most important posts we have seen here in a long time. 

Thailand would be a much nicer place if they understood what city planning is actually for and what zoning means

edit

Something everybody really needs to understand now the delta variant is taking over

Cases Will not go down!!!

In the UK cases were doubling every 15 days just a couple of weeks ago, now they are doubling every 9 days.

So no matter what the figures say, cases will not go down until almost everyone has been infected or vaccinated. The only way to avoid being infected is to stay at home, that is it!
