  1. Probably a country that relies on it for a significant portion of its GDP.
  2. Uk vaccination rates are at 67% still really an inadequate level it’s surprising given their early start.
  3. You can claim rental assistance on top of the pension as a separate supplement. I believe it’s about an additional $65 a week
  4. It’s about 45k Baht a month for full singles pension you get some additional supplements if living in the country. You have to remain in the country for the first 2 years of the pension after that it is full portable depending on how many years you worked for. 37 years gives you the full amount out of country. Anything less is paid prorata if you only worked for 25 years then you would only get 25/37 out of country.
  5. I'm declaring today the Second Artifact of The Fourth Wave Version 2
  6. Well Duh. But while they still have 80% of the country not fully vaccinated and still vulnerable to serious illness that is what will keep on happening. No one is talking about zero covid
  7. Going by Surat Thani is great. Nothing better to start a visit than with a trip across the Gulf of Thailand.
  8. Yeah like about 7 times now. Why do so many people think Chewang represents all of Samui. It such a small part of the whole parcel of what the island has to offer
  9. But the question is where o where are they getting 20 million doses a month from ????
  10. Just need to look at Phuket. Almost exclusively vaccinated with Sinovac and hospitals almost at capacity.
  11. The juntas response to the pandemic is becoming more disjointed, desperate and pathetic by the day.
  12. I think the best indicator that something is amiss is that the deaths started falling around the same time that the infection rate started to recede. The general consensus is that deaths lag infection by approximately 21 days so in theory the death rate should still be rising slightly rather than having made a significant drop.
  13. Not really accurate 200k results came through. They explicitly stated that 60k were overdue negative result notifications. They have now removed some testing criteria for essential workers to reduce the pressure and turn around time for results. I would say the max they can do effectively is about 120k still good as mostly for the metro population of 5 million
  14. Well they certainly seam to be giving out more doses than they claim they can purchase. Hmm
  15. The peak has reached group will probably call it an artifact. They will be along soon.
  16. They would need approximately 17 million doses a month. At best they are getting 5 million AZ a month if they are lucky. Where are the other 12 million going to come from. They won’t be getting any significant amounts of Pfizer this year. So 12m dose of Sinovac? Im not saying the vaccination numbers are overstated. But I have my doubts they have the resources to and products to do some of the daily number of jabs we are seeing. No evidence just my gut talking.
  17. Most of your positive sides are really moot with delta. we all know now that you can catch it just walking past an infected person. Nobody is talking about touch and surface transmission anymore that is last year’s issues. Maybe not as large a population but density is a bigger factor and Thailand has a far greater density than the USA and many other countries with significant outbreaks and death tolls. The majority of people vaccinated have been given vaccines that are significantly less effective as the majority of vaccines used by other nations.
