I agree that kids are not the priority group, but there are more people who are waiting for the first or second jab.
I don't know the Thai numbers. If there are still unvaccinated in the vulnerable groups (and willing to get vaxxed!), then they should be prirized along with the elderly waiting for jab 3 or four.

I don't see the big problem with taking as many shots as the experts suggest in the meantime. The vaccination programs so far have saved countless lives. Cheers.
I see it differently. Instead of vaccinating the whole society and even think about make it mandatory, the vulnerable groups have to be protected and vaccinated at the highest possible level.
As we know, the vaccines reduce, but do not stop the transmission.
Mandatory vaccinations, as law now in Austria and discussed in Germany devide the society, damage civil rights and won't stop the virus.

6 minutes ago, Jingthing said:Not so fast. They're talking about specific patient profiles and also keep in mind that Thailand heavily used Sinovac so the baseline for lots of people here is very weak. Of course we now know that two doses of Astra Zenica is worthless in preventing getting infected with Omicron after 100 days.
Why not so fast? Israel prepares for the 4. shot now. Similar to the third one, they start with the vulnerable groups and medical personal - which does make sense. As I wrote elsewhere, 85 percent of the dead in connection(!) with Covid are 70+ of age (German numbers)
According to Pfizer's Bourla along with Biontech's Ugur Sahin, the 4. "booster" most likely will be necessairy within 12 month or even more early.
Ulrich Weigeldt (head of Germany's family doctors association):
"We expect, that in summer, latest in autumn, a fourth vaccination will be necessairy".
Much more is to be found. And remember: A half year back, no one spoke of a "booster". You were "fully immunized" after the second shot then.
All that has nothing to do with the Sinovac c.rap. AZ's zero-protection against infection after 120 days has nothing to do with Omicron.
But anyway: Wanna bet? It won't take more than six months before it's "common sense" that we need the forth shot. And I predict, further shots on a regular basis will become necessairy as they are for flu vaccination.
The more inportant question is, if we can fix the Covid mass-hysteria and find back to a sight based on rationality.

Maybe, according to the picture, this condo is not what one would call "deluxe". Looks more like a 25m2 shoebox

Ever heared the term immune evasion or immune escape?
A weak vaccine can drive mutations. AZ for example has a protection of zero after 120 days. Immune escape can happen too, if there's a too long period of time between the doses.
I don't claim this is the case with Covid, because there is no reliable data base.
But to use the unvaxxed as a scapegoat for each and everything is not more than a lack of brain of people who do not know what tey're talking about.

Wrong
N95 respirators and surgical masks are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer from particles or from liquid contaminating the face.
Time to ‘up your mask game’
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/time-to-up-your-mask-game/ar-AAS2yuL
I know about N95. My staff works with comparable FFP2 since 1.5 years all day long.
And now look around who is wearing them here in Thailand. On the streets, in shpping malls, everywhere.
Tell me what you see and I tell you, how "protective" they are for the one who wears them.

It does happen.
I don't know what the rules are in Thailand, but what would be wrong with the way you're refering?
In germany, if you're tested positive (with PCR, ATK is far to inaccurate) or a first degree contact person, you have to self-quarantaine. And that's what I would do here too.

I'm looking for something this size to back up my MP3 music collection, which is spread over a dozen various size HDDs. 8TB would probably do me but there wouldn't be much space left. And I'm backing up MP3s, most of my fellow music collectors have moved up to FLAC files....jeez, they'd be filling an 8TB drive every year. ????
If it's for backup, an external 3.5'' hdd connected via USB would be your best option

Unbelievable. A friend of mine was the head of IT for a superstore chain in the USA like Walmart. 60,000 employees and is the 21st largest retailer in the USA with 350 super store locations.
He told me the company operates on two 1tb hard drives. 1 TB runs all the stores, inventory , transactions, payroll etc. The second 1TB drive is the nightly backup.
Thats enough if you store documents and databanks. Our office server too has 2 or three tb including backup system.
And ok, I confess, I lied about my home server

He might store some fhd movies and tv shows. 8TB is not much then. My server in Germany hosts 110TB over all.

New cars come with red plates. Same with motorbikes, I guess.
Now I heared somewhere, you're not allowed to drive outside your province on red plates.
Can that be true? When I bought my last car, I was up-country many times and was stopped at a couple of police checkpoints. Never had a problem because of the red plate.

8 minutes ago, baboon said:In other news, British Airways will not be serving Bangkok until at least October 2022, basically on the grounds that they can't be ar$ed with the ever-changing regulations. Can you blame them?
BA cancelled the flight before Thailand came up with the T&G cancellation.
But I wonder, what "cooperation" they want from the airlines. For them, nothing has changed with T&G. It's up to Thailand to find a way for the second PCR test.
When I flew in in November, all my papers were closely checked by Swiss air. First in Munich, then in Zurich. They couldn't have done more.

Fourth Vaccine Shot Approved for Elderly and Medical Workers
in Thailand News

Thankyou for the link. But it does not show the vaxx-state related to the age.
Millions of unvaxxed kids or people up to, say, 40 years would not concern me, if the real vulnerable had a very high vaccination rate.
