Again my problem with this is fully vaccinated with what and what % of the fully vaccinated will require a booster because of what they have been vaccinated with. If they require a booster then in my books they're not fully vaccinated.

Thank you.

Look over the past two months about deaths and see if you change your opinion.

This is from today. Not what I would call that out of date. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

Maybe the climbing from 117 to 36 in the past few months on the world covid chatrs is something you should think about. Don't hear you saying anything about that.

August 5th last data point. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

This may put Thailand's vaccination rate into some perspective. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

All looks very nice but how much of this is Sinovac?

Your post: "Yes people who are fully vaccinated will be more than happy to holiday here in the high season once it opens up, such as those from the UK where Thailand still sits in the amber zone so no quarantine on return. The fact that it was not upgraded to red will reassure many it’s safe to come. Not everyone lives in fear thankfully." You used the phrase "such as those from the UK" which demonstrates that the UK is but one example of ".... people who are fully vaccinated...." therefore using the USA as another example is legitimate. Your childish response holds no weight. My post: "Did you not see the USA is warning it's citizens even those fully vaccinated about travel to Thailand."

Sorry to hear that but the point must be made that the figures of people being released as recovered must be seen as completely misleading. How many of today's 22,012 are in the same boat. This is where the >50% jump comes from. Before people were sent home from hospital fully recovered. Now they are being sent home classified as recovered when they are not. Being that the almost overnight jump was 50% it's fair to assume that somewhere around 50% of the newly classified recovered are infact not fully recovered as such to use this terminology is fraudulent. Just briefly last wk they used released from medical care and indeed this is what it is. It is not recovered.

Did you not see the USA is warning it's citizens even those fully vaccinated about travel to Thailand.

Would you call him fully recovered? I guess if he has to isolate he isn't. A load of medication as anyone who has been to a doctor here knows is the norm. If he isn't fully recoverd then we know why release numbers are so high. Not fully recovered but released from medical care but classified as recovered. Just more subterfuge.

Once again those who are quick to pull the trigger have been shown to be wrong. BKK is going up not down and may very well cross the 5000 mark. I wonder how many antigen positives there areor is that the 3,417. This would make BKK almost 8,000. Testing is heading south which is interesting as numbers are heading north. 6,748 tests in a day is just dismal in a population of around 8 million. Numbers obviously being under-reported. Keep numbers down by keeping testing down.

You can wrap a turd in roses but at the end of the day it's still a turd.

Agree. But the thing about fudging numbers that are so high even when you do manipulate them numbers are still going to be high. The 3000 from Phetchabun never did show up. How many other clusters have not found their way into the 'official' numbers yet the numbers remain high. Just not as high as they should be.

Obviously we hit the peak in last couple of days. According to some anyway. 591 fatalities in 3 days and >20k or just below infections everyday. 7 weeks until October. Peak obviously not reached. One poster yesterday said it's all looking good to open up Thailand for the high season. 1'000s dying every month. 100s of 1000s of infections for this month. Who will want to come here.

Dead right mate. Could have been avoided or at the very least softened but the Empty Heads Full Pockets at the top allowed this to happen. It has now been out of control since mid April.

Thing is when you have no symptoms you need no help. Some of the old wives' tales you'd be suprised but this is covid. Mild to very mild symptoms you don't need much of anything but if it advances this stuff will do nothing and it will not stop it from advancing. I will retract this last comment when I see serious international peer reviewed evidence.

Look elsewhere and you will see the court has temporarily suspended the regulation until otherwise ordered. I wouldn't be clapping too hard just yet.

Numbers of deaths in BKK up not down. Up 30%. How can you say numbers are falling when they went up. Deaths at an all time high yet you say all bodes well. I honestly cannot see any logic to your comment. Infections are still around the 20k mark and you say that opening in October is on track. At what level do you think daily infections and fatalities should be to open up Thailand? What do you think is a reasonable infection rate? These are two honest and rational questions which I hope you will repond to.

Just another misunderstaning. Has this been peer reviewed by international scientists? Are the authors correct? "[.....the research team decided to withdraw the study and resubmit it for publication once the errors are corrected." .... let me add corrected in line with the govt agenda. I'm suprised they weren't arrested for fake news. More totalitarianism.

Yes @it is what it is. This has been said many time since February last year by those of us that understand the correlation.

No. Although there may be some deaths being unreported I think this is more difficult to hide. Moving the goal posts for reported infections can be done with the stroke of a pen.

Falling numbers in Bangkok for today. Can you please show us where you came up with this or was this just a thought bubble you thought you would go with. Bit like the govt. here really. Figures would tend to show otherwise. Up 1,112. About 30%. Come on come out and admit you were wrong because you clearly were. Or will you be like Prayut and Anutin and never admit to being wrong.

Interesting. BKK back above 4k and not sure but maybe the highest number. Up 1,112 on yesterday.
