Thank the lord the world isn't relying on countries like Thailand to step up and save everyone

Here's the problem with the Pfizer vaccine. And I seriously doubt the UK is going to be any better prepared for a wide rollout of this vaccine compared to the U.S., for the following reasons:

For any developed country this is just not a problem. Liquid Nitrogen and Solid CO2 are easily available everywhere around the UK.

Well there is , as the article illustrates, a way out, I doubt that this Thai government will take it though.

I don't think there is because the govt will not do as the article suggests and that is my point. The level of anxiety over covid is beyond anything manageable at this point. Nothing except full vaccinations for every Thai will alleviate the problem, and Thailand will definitely introduce a no jab no entry policy at some point soon.

I've said it before but Thailand is toast. They will be amongst the very last of the worlds countries to deal with covid as an ongoing problem, preferring to hideaway until it's all over is just never going to be an option.

It will take years to vaccinate everyone that wants to be vaccinated.

Can anybody recommend a good App that will accurately measure rai size? The Play Store seems to have a plethora of GPS measuring apps, most are full of ads and/or dont have measurement in rai. We had a walk around gadget before but seems to have walked off with someone...

That's a good idea. Maybe I should make one? 

Who is he?

A warning.

 

It has come to my intention that insurance companies in the UK are selling insurance with specific Covid-19 cover. 

However, this may be invalid for travellers to Thailand based on the way the insurance companies interpret the requirement to declare pre-existing medical conditions.

 

During the application process, we are normally required to declare any medical tests we are waiting for.    Anyone going to Thailand has 3 scheduled covid tests. 

According to (for example) Sainsbury's Insurance, if you don't declare those tests, their policy is invalid, despite it having a specific covid-19 section.

 

So the Sainsbury's Insurance policy is invalid for travel to any country that requires you to take a covid test.    This is not at all clear during the application process.  

 

Of course, if you only need an insurance certificate for immigration purposes, this is not a problem.    However, if you actually want medical cover, including for when you fail a covid test in quarantine and are sent to hospital, do check to make sure the cover will be valid.

 

 

Sorry but I don't get this. Why does having a covid test invalidate the insurance? Having a test is not having a pre-existing medical condition so why wouldn't you just declare it?

What happened to the plan of Thailand becoming the distribution and manufacturing hub for the vaccine that was touted a few weeks back?

We are about to enter unknown territory. 

 

Although mRNA vaccines have entered clinical studies, there are currently no RNA vaccines approved for human use.

mRNA "vaccines" are not unknown territory, they have been used to treat cancer for a few years now I think

tacky as hell no doubt

That would be a positive first step in acquiescing to the Mohammedans' age old philosophy of subjugation  

I think you have me the wrong way around. We should not acquiesce at all in any way, we need to stop trying to integrate Islam into western culture as it will never ever work

90% effective means 10% were dead? Hardly convincing...

 

We need 99% effective.

Hardly. It means that of the 10% that still caught Covid, mortality will be same as it is now, so less than 1% overall. Simply put, deaths will drop by 90%

Covid has become a bit of a bogeyman to Thai's thanks to constant scares from govt and the media. I don't think anyone has any understanding of how dangerous or serious it is now compared to say normal flu, they all think it is 100% contagious and 100% fatal

10 million doses available to UK before Christmas. If true, that will really be a minor miracle.  How will being vaccinated affect quarantine rules I wonder?

The western worlds values are wholly incompatible with modern Islam, at some point we have to accept this
