There is nothing about vaccines here in Sakon Nakhon.  Nobody wants Sinovac thats for sure.

Phone Chonburi Provincial Health.

 

They need permission to cross provinces. 

If they own that condo its permission enough unfortunately.

There probably just as afraid of catch COVID-19 from you as you are of them.

In that case, all things considered, it might be best to fly to Utapao from Phuket.

 

Here's an example with 15 kg of baggage.  It's cheaper with just the 7kg carry on.

I miss traveling.  We did a lot during the beginning of the pandemic.  We enjoyed the empty beaches and unruly crowds of Chinese tour busses.

That's an idea.

Not only that, Pattaya is beautiful without the tourists and a 5 star hotel like the Hilton or Pattaya Pullman G hotel in Naklua would be nice.  Prices are dirt cheap!

You also have to add cost of petrol. 

It's a long way.

 

It was about 2600 in my SUV.

Personally I feel safer driving myself and my family. 

It would only take One person with the Delta variant to contaminate that whole bus on a 12 hour journey.

I'd also take my time.  Maybe take two or Three nights and stay at the Marriott Hua Hin.

I find it interesting.  Even here on this forum we need to attribute statements we make regarding Covid.  True attribution means linking to studies published in known and respected medical journals.
In the Bloomberg article there is zero attribution, just statements.  This is journalism posing as science.  Personally, I want to read the study.

In addition:
"The study by two Hungarian researchers was posted online this week but not yet reviewed by other scientists.
Three outside experts said they had no problems with the methodology of the study of the vaccine developed by Sinopharm’s Beijing Institute of Biological Products."  <---- Comedy posing as science

It's not peer reviewed - but- three unnamed, anonymous "experts" said it's just hunky dory.  <---- Comedy posing as science

Vaccines have become Geo-political cannon-fodder.  That imho is unconscionable and there is no place in a civilized world for this nonsense, yet here it is in its fully disgusting glory. 

Regarding the Hungary study is important because so little data and transparency by both Sinovac and Sinopharm. 

The study is particularly important, as only limited information is available on the effectiveness of the inactivated virus contained in the Sinopharm vaccine, especially in the elderly, despite the fact that it is approved in more than 50 countries.

People want the facts not just what China and Thailand beaurcats tell them.

I wonder if its as boring as actually being there.

And what about the other 29,500 temples? Will they be offering free funerals too?

Hopefully you won't need that.

They need to subsidize laptops or tablets for the children to do online learning.  And not some cheap Chinese knockoffs.

The government needs one centralized app.

They also need to outsource the creators of the app as there apps rarely work and seem cluttered and amateurish.

Tend to agree..............this virus needs us to mingle to thrive (unless other creatures will do - like bats or birds) so if we all stopped mingling for 3 weeks at the same time it should die out in 3 weeks.....................NOT GOING TO HAPPEN though. Back to herd immunity I think.

COVID-19 is caused by a virus.  Easly transmitted through small droplets and even previous surfaces touched by an infected person.

The Black Plague was a bacterium.  Antibiotics can cure this. transmitted by rodents (rats).  Also hygiene has come a long way since then.

Something of interest:

"What caused the Black Death? The Black Death is believed to have been the result of plague, an. infectious fever caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The disease was likely transmitted from rodents to humans by the bite of infected fleas."

Wheres the other million doses going.

They say the elderly.

Elderly Generals and there families most likely.

Thats a relief.

I use tap water for brushing teeth and coffee/tea so can't see it being an issue for poached eggs (unless you have specific issues with the pipes).

You boil the water  before also.

Yes....it's called selling the house. But the loan was made to her based upon her history/income. A new buyer would need either to assume the loan or get a new loan with the bank vetting their history and income before approving.

On top of that most likely could take year or more.  Why not just wait one more year to change the name?

Bare in mind property values have dropped since COVID-19 so its in there best interest to wait anyway.

Right from the onset of production from the SB Plant in Thailand, AZ have said that the capacity for the facility would be about 15 Million Doses per Month.

Under the agreement with MOPH, to supply 35 % of all produced Vaccine to Thailand, with the rest going for Export., this would indeed mean 5-6 Million Doses per Month.

If they supply this amount of Vaccine AZ will have broken no Contracts or promises to Thailand.

As time passes, and things settle down to a more consistent production at the Plant, I am sure AZ will want to supply more doses to Thailand.

 

Astra Zeneca produced papers that Thailand had only requested 3 million doses a month. 

Whatever the government was saying all along with Anutin about 10 million doses a month from Astra Zeneca were just not true and never were.

Muddied waters equals non-transparency... that's how Thailand likes it.

Horrible Way to do things.  The more lies the harder to cover up.

"uninterrupted manufacturing".  

Thats a tall order for Siam Bioscience.  They've never produced vaccines until now.  They already have a backlog to other countries that are even worse of than Thailand. 

Any extra will need to be used as a third dose for the millions of people who received the useless Sinovac.

Rubbish.

 

If you have an infected person and you isolate them, you have protected others from them.  If uninfected people isolate themselves, they are protected from possibly infected people.

 

 

WHO has recommended tougher lockdowns for Thailand today.

The U.S. has over 40% people in many states still unvaccinated and they have "opened up", yet hospitals are filling up again in several states I see

"97% Of People Entering Hospitals For COVID-19 Are Unvaccinated"

NPR July 16, 2021

Thats in the USA.

Mainly Anti vaxers in the South

Everywhere on the news I see the uptick in COVID-19 cases.  

Very disheartening to say the least.

Wait till the home testing kits start to add to the tally.

Might be a long wait. 

"Dr Nakorn Premsri, the director of the National Vaccine Institute, who explained that this is to manage risks in 2022 and not a “back and forth” decision as critics have said. “The decision is part of the government’s risk management plan to prepare for the changing situation due mainly to virus mutations,” he said.

He's the same who keeps mentioning how great Sinovac is against the Alpha variant (original) even though were battling the Delta variant.

Nice suite though.
