And a "wealth" of 104 million baht is something for the news because of what? There are many persons in Thailand with that amount. Nothing to lift any eye brows over. Just let the guy be.

Government Henchman at work? or a super wealthy farang? or both?,????     nudge nudge wink wink...say no more ????

When Police and Insurance assesors ( like mine ) apply rules that happened in my case....  ..dont hold out too much hope.

 

I was driving my pick up on Sukhumvit road  when the line of traffic skidded to a halt, including me, seconds later i was smashed into from the rear, Police and my Insurance were called, the Thai who smashed into me had no Insurance,. I was blamed for the accident by Police & "MY" Insurance company, when i asked why, they said i had stopped to quickly ( in an emergency braking situation, i had to pay for my own damage 80.000 baht......Complaints to my  insurance remained unanswered

So is there any Insurance company in Thailand that you might not recommend?

As Delta Variant Spreads, China Lacks Data on Its Covid-19 Vaccines

The spread of the Delta variant is raising fresh concerns about the efficacy of Chinese vaccines, which have been central to inoculation efforts in the developing world, as recent data shows the protection provided by Western vaccines waning against the highly contagious variant.

Chinese officials have been analyzing data from an outbreak of the Delta variant in southern China last month, while Sinopharm and Sinovac Biotech Ltd., the country’s leading Covid-19 vaccine developers, have said they are studying Covid-19 variants, including via lab experiments. Both companies have suggested that a third booster shot may be needed to boost protection after their current two-dose regimens.

SINGAPORE—At least 10 of the 26 doctors in Indonesia who died from Covid-19 this month had received both doses of the vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech Ltd., a medical association said, raising questions about the Chinese-made shot that is being used in many parts of the developing world.27 June 2021

Decline from what exactly? I can’t see infection rate slowing down for at least the next 3-4 weeks. So maybe when Thailand is at 40-50,000 cases per day it might start to decline, but that doesn’t help anyone in the meantime

Its quite possibly already at that level in the real world

so covid killed him ?

Seems much easier to use Covid aa a reason for death, rather than doing an autopsy, which is what often happened in the UK

Being tested for Covid, and actually dying from it are two entirely different things, but then, that does not make the news, does it 

 

it's ok now, here, take your meds and go back to your room........ .who left this patients room unlocked?

China could lock down Wuhan in such a dramatic fashion because it's just one big city there of many big cities. And because Chinese people are incredibly disciplined, so they could keep it quite short.

 

Thailand only has Bangkok in roughly that category, the economic fallout for the whole country would be devastating. And Thai people are natural born lawbreakers, the government has tried and failed to make them wear helmets when riding motorcycles for as long as I've been here.

 

Ultimately they can only hope to flatten the curve a little bit, this lockdown won't be a success story either way.

The helmet issue only exists because the Government allow the Police to not enforce the law, people abide by the law if it is strongly enforced, same with a lockdown, no Police no abidance

THailand....... where the magic happens.

Unknown when and which vaccines will come, they still keep the people in Thailand quiet by making statements like this.. 

Quiet? you didn't see the protests in BKK yesterday, they might be fooling the lower thinkers but that's a minority, the youth will eventually run this mob out of town...... stay tuned ????

Well done .

But now is a good time to think about getting further vaccines for next year when the 20 million jabs have been injected .

   Order some more for next year , Now 

Wont happen, they'll be hanging out until the last minute to see if their own vaccine actually works, by then sadly it will be far too late for thousands.  It's all about the money honey, very few of the poor villagers that die are Government supporters

Delta now rules, it's all over the country by now and only strict lock downs and mass vaccinations will stop it

dumped all the Scripts for  the 'Statins, and adopted CoQ10 over the counter...   '

 

 

whereas 'Statins rip the guts out of both HDL and LDL (one likens Statins as the medicine cabinet equivalent of 'RoundUp in the garden' - where they are non selective in what they get rid of!! 

 

Losing HDLs alongside the happy to be ridden of LDL - means the body then does not have enough HDL left inside, to do their ongoing battles on bad cholesterol.'

 

CoQ10 rids the LDLs, ut Not at the expense of the reserves of HDL that 'are' needed

2nd that, is CoQ10 readily available in Thailand? if so at what cost please?

I know how impressive the covid stats are for Aus and NZ, well done ????

 

But I'm not sure it entirely justifies the sluggish vaccination roll-out in the southern hemisphere

The problem in Oz is the bloody media, a couple of ppl got blood clots from their AZ vax and the media blew it up into AZ as a potential death trap, like it's a 1 in 180,000 chance of getting a clot and then multiply that by 100 for chances of dying. We have more AZ than we can possibly use, as we make it here, but too many ppl are scared off getting it courtesy of the doom and gloom media flogging their rotten bad news stories.

 

Yes people, this is the real deal, at least 50% more virulent than the original, some experts believe it's 100% more virulent

If you aren't yet vaccinated then play it very safe, especially if you're mixing with strangers indoors and get yourself an N90 mask for those occasions. 

STAY SAFE

Is it because people are woke, or because of the vaccines their government is providing them with.

 

I Australia they only have 1% of the population vaccinated, their population is 26 million and they are trying to give them AZ, but no one wants it.

Frogs**t no one wants it !  the vast majority want it and are getting it.

Some choose to wait for Pfizer and possibly Moderna , but most are content with AZ

It's people misreporting things that causes fear in a minority

I probably should be at the nearest wat making offerings, two weeks after I flew from Melbourne to Bangkok in February 2020, all the borders shut down.

No way would I want to go back and stagnate there.

Success? I think the appropriate term is "Pyrrhic victory".

Why would you stagnate? freedom to travel anywhere in Australia and NZ and if you have good reason you can get permission to return to Thailand, so old mate I seriously dont get why you choose to put down Australia ????

Hope I'm wrong but Australia is likely to come out of this year's behind the rest of the world. Haven't even experienced a first wave yet. Now we are fairly certain that vaccines aren't the be all and end all, the zero covid strategy and perpetual rolling lockdowns for a handful of cases is more detrimental than anything.

Yep!! You're wrong on all points

Agreed no country has really sorted it out sensibly. Australia probably has some of the stupidest rules of all. You can go to a pub and sit down but you can't stand up. Cafes restaurants excetera closed for long periods but virtually unlimited people in supermarkets. You can have near capacity crowds at a football match but concerts are not allowed.

  Most recent Lockdown you could have 20 people in your house, 10 at a funeral and only 3 at a wedding? Beggars belief, especially considering the people at the funeral or the wedding would most likely be from the 20 people you would invite to your house. Our states can't agree on anything, there is zero consistency on any legislation the rules seem to be arbitrarily plucked out of thin air and now our PM is saying the borders reopening will have nothing to do with the vaccination roll out. Pure insanity. More to your point the best thing is to get out in the sun get some Vitamin D, get some exercise in and stay healthy as possible. Not be cooped up in a state of near perpetual Lockdown. 

  Of course there needs to be rules regarding social distancing, mask wearing and all the other things that are working but the inconsistencies are profound. 

Yeah right! they should have referred to their Pandemic Handbook, hey Mr 2 bob expert

Most of the info you whinge about here is long past history and guess what???     We have zero Covid

Reading this, one word comes to mind.......SOOK!

Australia and NZ only achieved zero Covid by strict lock-downs, in Victoria we had 181 days of lock-downs at varying levels

How hard would it be for Anutin or the PM to simply copy what we did ?

The Australian government partially funded people during these lock downs so my guess is that the Big Boys dont want to open their burgeoning wallets, better to buy Subs and Space Rockets so they can look like a sophisticated country ????
