Since I posted this 2 hours ago 4 more road fatalities have been added to the count. I wonder how many deaths have been attributed to covid in the last 2 hours in Thailand. As I said perspective is everything. https://www.thairsc.com/eng/

Thankyou for sharing the UNICEF data. I'm wondering why you didn't add this bit to your post. "The available evidence indicates the direct impact of COVID-19 on child, adolescent and youth mortality to be limited." https://data.unicef.org/topic/child-survival/covid-19/

How about this one.....

As I remember it was Thaksin that enforced it in 2004.

And midnight to 11:00 am. If this is too much of a stretch then midnight to 6:00 am ban. Nothing will happen. It will not be lifted.

As per the OP so far this year less than one person a day has had a death attributed to covid. So far today 41 have died on the roads and so far this year 7402 have died as of time of typing this post. This is as opposed to 172 attributable covid19 deaths this year and how many of these 172 had severe comorbidities is unknown. Perspective is everything. https://www.thairsc.com/eng/

"Notably" what's missing from this bit of information you provide is any detail about comorbidities. How do you know that the two in the 20-49 age group didn't for example have AIDS and were immunocompromised and as such were vulnerable to any viral infection. You don't know and neither do I because these details are rarely told. Same with the 50-59 age group. Severe comorbidities? No one has ever said that there are not at risk sectors of the population but these represent a small % of society as a whole as do the fatality figures.

I've had both Delta and Omicron. Not sure how many times I've had Omicron. Once for sure. Had some colds which may have been Omicron or may not have been. Hard to tell as the symptoms as you well know are very similar.

Haven't worn a mask for years and will never be jabbed with an mRNA vaccine.

Seems people didn't understand my previous post. The figure of 2.16% comes from the Delta era whereas what we are seeing now and have been since Omicron changed into a basically non-fatal viral infection is a very, very low fatality rate. To say this change is because of treatments and vaccines completely misses the FACT that Omicron and it's variants is essentially a non-severe and non-fatal viral infection.

I notice that the narrative believers have nothing to say other than confused emoji trolling.

More powerful people than him running the trafficking networks and this is why "the war on drugs" has had no success anywhere in the world. Apart from this the reclassification of dope as a narcotic will only support said networks and all the corrupt officials involved. 100% Thaksin at play here..

It's implicit in this statement

So nothing to do with June 2021 being Delta and Omicron (Dec 2021) variants being non fatal for the overwhelming majority. Well there you go. Follow the narrative get your boosters and all will be fine.

Yes, Stop! I agree but it's not a cold just like the flu is not a cold. Common cold/flu/SarsCov2 are different viruses but all now have very similar symptoms.

This sentence needs to be extended. "Since the start of the year, Thailand has seen a total of 31,205 COVID-19 hospital admissions, resulting in 172 deaths, predominantly among those over the age of 69 [and those with severe comorbidities]. As for 172 deaths so far this year, being that there have been 186 days passed as of July 4, this means a daily death rate of less than 1 in ≈ 70,000,000.

For a story about how terrifying the prison ordeal was there are actually very few lines about said terrifying prison ordeal.

Let's not forget midnight to 11:00 a.m.

A 3 year old doesn't drop out of school they are taken out and are also not a youth. Poverty is the major cause. More hot air with zero detail about how to do this and IMHO impossible to implement without financial support to the families. Sadly Thailand follows the US model of very limited social security.

A complete sham from the beginning which was obviously open to corruption. The Senate should be a national vote by the people (has it's own problems TIT) not a selection where the voting public has no say in who represents them in the Senate and those selected, not elected pay off other selectees for their seat in the Senate.

All sold at schools and outside/next to schools.

Sure helps with my asthma.

Total and absolute BS. LOS was the land that the magnificent Buddha sticks came from some 5 decades ago. Of course you wouldn't know this as your knowledge of dope or lack thereof is well demonstrated in your post.

Interesting. This is a diversion surely. I see this as dope being recriminalised as no longer the issue and focus now on medical use only which of course was the BJP initial approach. The focus should be recriminalisation vs regulation the latter being the only sane way to go and the former being the Thaksin way to go.

The whole thing is a farce and anybody who can't see this must be very stupid indeed.
