    Better to keep them open. They don't just consist of restaurants but shops selling most everything you could possibly want. They keep the smaller food and sundries markets from getting too crowded and malls usually have a small supermarket or two on the lower floors where shoppers can stock up on edibles and help keep the Big C's, Tesco Lotus's's's's's' and 7-11s from getting packed out. 

     

    Don't know about malls in Bangkok but Zeer and Future Park in Rangsit were fairly strict a few months ago with the signing-in and temp checks. The shops and businesses within the malls have their owning screening and are likely to keep the number of customers entering down to a minimum. Whereas Big C, Tesco, Sevens and markets are starting to get more and more complacent and there's not so much customer control anymore. 

     

    TRANSLATION - i enjoy malls, it gives me a bit of enjoyment in these dark times, please don't close them. Here are some silly facts that obviously make no sense.

  2. Most who buy these policies aren't aware they are useless in practise. Reason being you MUST declare all pre exisiting conditions. Most don't even give you the option to put in these exisiting conditions. 

     

    So when it comes time to claim, they will cite your medical history and refuse a claim on the basis you didn't declare something.

    Because it's complicated?

     

     not really.

     

    Let's just have one universal percentage for one universal terminology. 

     

    When i read 'EFFICIENCY' i take it to mean symptomatic disease. When i read 'hospitalisations' well thats obvious. But sometimes they play around with these two.

    Apparently, these results were about being vaccinated just once with the Pfizer vaccine:

    "The study found that after just one dose of the Pfizer jab, people are less likely to develop antibody levels against the Indian (B.1.617.2) variant, also known as Delta, as high as those seen against the previously dominant Kent variant (B.1.1.7) also known as Alpha."

    Also, there's this:

    Two doses of vaccine highly effective against Delta variant, U.K. officials say

    Two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective against hospitalization from the Delta variant of the coronavirus, according to a new analysis from Public Health England released Monday.

    The new analysis found that two doses of the Pfizer vaccine were 96 percent effective against hospitalization from the Delta variant, and two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were 92 percent effective.

    “We know from the phase one studies that the second shot induces a level of virus-specific neutralizing antibodies that’s about tenfold greater than that after the first dose.”

    They are becoming quite word savy here - sometimes they quote you a percentage for symptomatic efficiency, then they change the rules and  it becomes efficency against 'hospitalisations'. 

     

    Why can't we just have one definition ?

    Snow job! If these Chinese vaccines are so damn good why are we seeing huge upsurges in transmission in countries that have used them, and why in Indonesia are medics who were fully vaccinated weeks ago suffering large numbers of Covid infections and many hospitalisations. 

     

    It's bad news for Astra Zeneca too - as the UK which has used it in mass is seeing a huge upswing in cases.

    #UPDATE:

    @oc_ccsa

    details finalized rules for the #PhuketSandbox starting on July 1: - foreign tourists must be fully vaccinated and come from a “low or medium-risk country” - must stay on the island for 2 weeks before traveling elsewhere in Thailand and do regular tests

     

    .

    @oc_ccsa

    also notes that the #PhuketSandbox can also be suspended if the #COVID19 situation causes more than 90 new infections per week.

    90 cases in a week and it will be closed down?

    Southeast Asia saw the highest number of Covid-19 cases in over a month on Thursday, while the death toll was the second highest, collated data showed.

    Myanmar figures ROFLMAO ????

     

    This despite a porous border with India. Infact Mynamar is most likely to blame for the rise of cases in Thailand.

    The west may have greater cases, but they have weathered it out and not destroyed their economies.  Thailand will never recover from this...  Going to Greece where people are welcomed that are fully vaccinated and have no restrictions..

     

    The UK have had the worst economic recession amongst all the major economies, and it's debt has grown massively. It's also had one of the worst health outcomes in the world. 

     

    Calm down and take yourself to Greece.

    You're correct , that's why i said not all of it was locked down. My point is why didn't they ground all flights instead of just domestic flights . How do you explain how fast this virus spread all over the world.

     

    Wasn't just China. The WHO also insisted travel should not stop. That never made any sense to me. China supposedly have done a good job in containing this virus - why then could they not close borders, and contain it?
