Last 90-day report I mailed end of last month. Nothing yet. The one before that took 7 weeks for the papers to come back so I am not worried. At that time I did call the hotline after 4 weeks and they told me to wait longer because of a backlog of reports and said no worries of a fine if I had the postal receipt. So not sure where you got this:

That's far from true.

But here's some facts:

 

Bangkok Post

January 21, 2021

 

"Thailand's poverty ratio is expected to increase to 8.8% in 2020, up from 6.2% in 2019, before reducing to 8.4% this year, according to the global lender. The World Bank defines the poverty line at daily income of US$5.50 (165 baht) per person. ... This reduced the income of Thais," he said.

 

this is before the Third wave

 

As well as the little thing that people don't like being disenfranchised. Their chosen leaders keep being sent into exile or disbarred from politics because they don't bow to the army/families. The rice bowl maybe full but the feeling of being a pet animal that needs to know its place is one many will resent on principle.

This is the result of the perverse agenda of Thai Government, spreading fear

All Thais I've talked to are seething with rage at those in charge. More than incompetence as the cause of the current debacle they say it's corruption. The vaccine deals that were done and not done were to line pockets. "Sino give money, Moderna, Pfizer don't care give money. Poor Thai man die no problem."

They are probably right. The junta running the show wasn't put in place by the people so they give a rat's a*ss about the people. They know exactly who they are beholden to and whose welfare comes first.

If this horrible phase leads to some change in Thai politics (not holding my breath) then we might be able to look back at it with some satisfaction.

Are you able to find any info on where yesterday’s and today’s cases were located? I can’t find anything on it

Exactly. Mixing up data from different provinces says little. We need to look at the individual deep reds. If their case loads are peaking/declining then lockdowns are working. If not, we've a problem.

We is all gonna die.

while we seem to be headed to a Wuhan-style lockdown. The vid had me nearly in tears.

My (uneducated) guess is that it doesn't really matter for hoity toity white collar types like Crossy:-) But for construction labor and such at risk of workplace injury it's useful info.

According to the organizers, #ม็อบ18กรกฎา will take place around the country and not just in Bangkok. We hope this does not become super spreader events.

All in Thai. Could you give a English precis of what's going on? Would be good to know.

Even stricter measures? If numbers in Bkk are dropping (do we have the breakdown?) then current measures, in fact, are working. Likewise other deep reds.

On the other hand if numbers are rising because of spread to other provinces then then the solution is a clampdown on interprovincial travel and quarantine for those who have traveled, not more lockdown.

And as a fellow above wisely observed the effect of any measure will only be evident after a couple of weeks. So reacting herky jerky to daily numbers is foolish.

Since the pandemic began up to now the best way for US citizens to get vaccinated is to go back to a US State or territory.

A CM thread had someone reporting from a vaccine trip to Guam. Apparently the closest US territory and flush with vaccines.

How long ago, we were getting very few cases long ago. 

True, very few countries (any?) predicted the severity of the new waves and nasty variants.

From https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/countries-and-territories/thailand/

Thailand has administered at least 12,908,193 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 9.3% of the country’s population.

The US is 60+% fully vaccinated, UK 50+%. So, give the Thais at 9.3% a break. They did fork up long ago not ensuring supplies. But they are doing the best they can now with crumbs from the table.

Full disclosure: I am signed up at PT2 for AZ and BumG for Moderna.

Uninformed old man. There's no call for bilateral reciprocity. E.g., UK citizens can come to Thailand visa-free. Vice-versa no. Depends on the circumstances.

The US is flush with doses so it's jabbing one and all for free and gifting other nations.. If there was a shortage you betcha there would be howls of disapproval if citizens weren't first in line.

Would you triage based on passports in the emergency room too?

I am talking jabs, old man. Emergency care is another issue altogether. That's a fundamental right. Jabs aren't.

Thanks for the reply? Can't seem to find your pinned post. Could you post the link please? Does the pharmacy you use for Otezla stock Acitretin? Perhaps you can give me the pharmacy name?

 

My experience with DHL:

Try the link below for the Frank Ross Pharmacy in Kolkata. It shows the price of Aceret 25mg. at Rs. 599 for 10 caps.

No it won't. Their total allotment is 500:-)

I source Otezla (Apremilast) from India. See my pinned topic on using DHL for this purpose. I just googled "Acitretin India". Price seems to be Rs. 350, about $5, for 10 x 10mg tabs.

See ya all tomorrow. Meet at the same site. I'll have coffee in a canister if you want some. Bye.
