    Experts around the world are looking currently at the experience in Australia.

    Their numbers are extremely low and have been able to track and trace at a level impossible when the outbreaks are widespread. 

    I think posters might find it interesting to Google such as "fleeting contact for covid delta strain Australia" 

    Many easy to watch YouTube presentations from experts worldwide.

    This is one nasty beast.

    Lots of these around me, usually the insulation is hanging off after a couple of years.

     

    I do not know anyone you speak of, probably they have been glued on the under roof manually, these very recent ones of a few years are industrial products that have a thickness of 6 cm of insulation and more and being in aluminum they are indestructible with the weather, excluding typhoons.

    Of course, and that's part of the plan. But why add other heat insulation devices if that does not come too expensive?

     

    Another advantage to consider I am talking about aluminum sheets with insulation that is currently produced where I should no longer have to change them for life, they cost more but it is the quality that counts for a material on a house if you want not to have future problems.

    Because it is cheaper to make only one insulated roof than to make two roofs. The solution of two roofs is made when on the first flat roof where you can walk you can make a terrace and take the breeze of the wind under the protection of the second roof. But in your case it is a waste of time and money even if you want to recover the original roof sheets, if you also put a photovoltaic system it is better that it is as low as possible to access it in case of problems on your system.

    No, don't think so. It will eventually come back at the same standards but will be a lot more expensive.  All the lost money will have to be 're-made' on top of the new profits. It's a mind set thing.

    Back in 97 when the baht fell local prices for tourists in many areas went up in baht cost because we got more baht for our currencies.

     

    So do you think the 40 million tourists will return?

    Thailand should be ordering as many effective vaccines as they can get their hands on - dumping the Chinese junk might also be prudent - they should be using private hospitals to help in the depoyment of all vaccines not setting up some private side network 

     

    do people on here seriously think that some of these more "effective" vaccines will somehow be left unused - seriously ?

     

    In a few months, maximum November December, the new most effective vaccines against the Delta ++++ variant will come out, so everyone to get vaccinated again, current vaccines will be outdated but if paid for by customers it is not a loss for shareholders.

    Testing was not stopped. It's being limited to available beds, which means the system is now wrong. It was never intended for high numbers. The failure is not having a better system to put in place when numbers rise.

     

     

    Are the test numbers counted or not counted? because counting the number of tests based on the available beds that are equal to zero seems to me a tragic comic comedy

    There wont be many tourists from Australia where you have to get permission from the govt to leave the country then spend more than $3000 on hotel quarantine when you get back ....

     

    The news report that there are about 35,000 Australians waiting to return to the country and that quarantine places are very limited, from an old place for prisoners Australia has not evolved much it seems to me.

    That is typical of Thailand , money number one , because the rest kits should be free as in many western countries . This war against the virus is not a commercial venture and private hospitals should be seconded to help the nation . I hear that the AZ vaccine supplied to Thailand was being sold at quite a markup by various Thai outlets  , likewise the Pfizer .

     

    I think it would be interesting to have these Covid home tests also for a fee since medical assistance is now very uncertain here, if we have caught Covid without symptoms we no longer need the vaccine and we could travel abroad if it was then certified.
