So one jab is enough. Guess it has to be otherwise half the population will not be allowed "to do things in public."

Sure. It's trending down. I wonder though if testing is trending down at the same time.

Seems to be but if you add ATK the infection numbers this what the numbers look like for this wk. Sun. 9950 8429 7498 8020 8553

I understand the difficulties and cost but once again we see reactive rather than proactive policy. It is a known fact that Delta spreads very, very rapidly. So what to do? Wait for an outbreak. This may be a reasonable thing to do IF vaccination levels support this approach. They don't. New South Wales approach. "Students will be given rapid antigen tests to take twice a week at home to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in classrooms, and those who are close contacts of a case can use them to reduce the length of their isolation under a plan to reduce disruption to schools. The tests will be trialled in hard-hit Albury in southern NSW from next week, where almost every school has been forced to shut due to a COVID-19 case in the past two weeks. Some have been shut twice. Across NSW, more than 40 schools have shut since Sunday." https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/nsw-school-students-given-rapid-antigen-tests-to-check-for-covid-19-20211028-p5944s.html

Hand Scythe? Try rice harvesters. Your right about the insurance bit. Like the asymptomatic bloke who has to spend 14 days in hospital down in Phuket when a Thai person would simply be isolated. I wonder if his insurace will pay for that.

Drowning deaths are a problem globally so yes children should learn how to swim. What of course is needed for this is .... yep you guessed it, water and somewhere big enough to put it. This is called a swimming pool so lots and lots of them. Also needed are people to teach the little ones swimming and from what I've seen from Thais swimming efforts these will be be few and far between.

Officially down again from yesterday but include ATK and it's up a bit but is tracking down for now. Update on school. All teachers must have another ATK this Friday following last Friday's ATK test. School to open for P6-M3 next Monday. Students not required to be tested or show evidence of negative test. It's going to be the next to useless temp. checks for them.

How many of this 51% had their 2nd jab 6 months ago and need a 3rd jab? So 2nd jab in June. 3rd dose sits at 3.91%. As for 51% well this is a bit misleading but still very, very low. Using Kalasin as an example only 31.2% fully vaccinated. On the other hand BKK is at 97.2%. Almost 100% double jabbed? I know someone in BKK hasn't had their 1st. https://covidtracker-th.netlify.app/

If there was nothing to critisize with this product then why put pressure on not to critisize it. Remember it only just got over the line with the WHO with a score of 51. I wonder if certain pressures were not used there also.

Yep. So what they are saying is 20% of Thai people have basically nothing. Having a couple of rai to grow rice on that makes very little money for the farmers are not poor for just one example. Just more rubbish from the rich emptyheads who have absolutely no idea of reality. Of course the absurdity is that 5% have 95% of the nations wealth.

Education gets the biggest budget if I'm correct. Mostly gone when it comes to actual education though.

Well it will be interesting to see what happens next wk with new infection numbers. ATK slaes will probably do very well and official numbers will probably not go up or if they do not by much.

Just more nationalistic clap trap from an ultra-convservative military government. Nothing to do with real education just molding children's minds to their way of thinking.

Some schools have already openned and some have already closed again. Vaccinate the population first. Another gamble by the government. Prayut said some risks must be taken just as Delta was taking off. Around 20,000 people have died from covid (officially) since he said that. Delta is still here. I posted this on another thread..... "Child gets SarS-Cov-2 at school. Goes home. Infects grandma. Grandma dies from Covid-19. There are life long consequences to this that I would say outway missing onsite schooling. Vaccination rates just aren't high enough here to avoid these potential tragedies. Flipped classrooms can work but the digital divide is a big problem. None of it outweighs face to face in my opinion but if this can cause the spread of a deadly disease in a poorly vaccinated society." This 'survey' is a bit moot so let's see what happens. Looking around the world I don't or haven't seen any other country openning with such low vaccination rates. Question is "Is it Safe?" (Marathon Man, 1976)

Well said. Child gets SarS-Cov-2 at school. Goes home. Infects grandma. Grandma dies from Covid-19. There are life long consequences to this that I would say outway missing onsite schooling. Vaccination rates just aren't high enough here to avoid these potential tragedies. Flipped classrooms can work but the digital divide is a big problem. None of it outweighs face to face in my opinion but if this can cause the spread of a deadly disease in a poorly vaccinated society maybe it's best to stay online.

Got a bit of this wrong. @brewsterbudgendid not post the Shenzhen Kisshealth Biotechnology pic hence is not using it. Sunday evening confusion I put down to a few quiet ones and too much <deleted> being posted. Apologies again @brewsterbudgen

Ok. Kids can catch up it's not the end of the world. The pic you posted though was Shenzhen Kisshealth Biotechnology. This is Chinese. Don't get me wrong I want kids back to school but in my opinion nationally the fully vaccinated rate just isn't there. Shouldn't open the borders. Shouldn't open anything. Should have got vaccines in earlier. Should have locked down hard. Did that and things might be a bit better. Still only half the population double jabbed and many of these need boosters. Probably not 4 jabs like empty head Anutin has had. Some in Thailand are still waiting for 1.

Look up at my previous post. This is the one being used at schools in my province.

It is Chinese. Look it up.

I actually think I've achieved more online because the lazy, disruptive students aren't there.

Chinese manufactured.

Nonsensical post. Please elucidate.

It's just more made up nonsense. It's been in the news for so long. This is a Federal directive. No mention of the province ever. everyone one else gives this information. Kadilo what province are you in?

No offence meant here but have you done this before and what ATK are you using.

I hope it lasts.
