Why have you quoted my comments with your unconnected question to possum1931?

Sorry.

You're wrong, it would be on the contracted schedule.   

 

You're assuming that everyone who dies before the distribution of the vaccine in that order will have wanted (and been able to get) that vaccine and that those doses would have prevented those Covid-19 deaths?    You're not really up to speed on how the virus and the vaccinations work, are you?

I get the feeling a certain unelected government general well known for his lies, is looking over his shoulder, and not before time.

You mean Prayut Chan-O-Cha?

On the contrary. It's a well observed post and accurate comment. Rich white line jumpers are taking vaccines that locals could use and then moaning when some of the poorest people in the nation try and make some money by providing a service The wealthy hustlers need and want.

They were doing it to the poor people also.

Well done, finally! ... I just hope it's not too little too late.

To little.  Enough for 10 million people.  There going to have to revaccinate all the people who got Sinovac.

Too late:

According to the article it took 3 months to even sign the contract.

Typical Thailand.

The ugliness never stops rearing its head in this horrible pandemic.

The newly appointed head of the investigation committee is now a full police general.

 

This is because one of the police under investigation for wrong doing is himself a police general so he must be investigated by someone of similar rank.

Fast track to the top!

Nothing is going to happen.

The statue of limitations ends in less than two years in this case.

All we'll end up with is another overweight general wearing a tight brown uniform wearing lots of medals you can purchase in a dime store.

That's a good point. Employers shouldn't be in the business of ratting out employees unless compelled to but on the other hand Panda Man made it super easy for him to be identified.

 

I think people are overblowing Food Panda's responses and reading too much into them. I think they've just been very clumsy and might want to review their public relations function.

 

See what's happening here?

Instead of the focus being real very serious issues in Thailand such as the vaccine situation, people are diverting to something very tangential and trivial like Food Panda. 

I see your point.

Poor guy. 

He could be delivering hamburgers right now but instead he's sitting in crowded cell.

Turned out pretty nice in Pattaya though.

We all know it will eventually just be given back to the ocean.

Suicide

Im definitely using a different delivery service.

The driver has been arrested and faces some serious charges.  Im sure Panda offered all the information to have him arrested easier.

In other countries his actions would be considered a protest.  

Hopefully these protests gather more steam!

I have no idea why anyone bothers with 90 days reports at the best of times, let alone now. If mine didn't work online, I wouldn't waste any extra time and effort on them and just pay the fine later. This is NOT the time for unnecessary immigration visits.

Immigration office and those officers are definitely not a safe place to visit during a raging pandemic.

I bet the employees are just as unhappy and would prefer the government to defer any visits until things level off a bit.

2000 baht fine is better than a dose of COVID-19!

Almost as bad as the numbers in the vaccinated UK.

Current daily average UK new infections 37k

Cases in the UK | Coronavirus in the UK (data.gov.uk)

Thats a lot!

There fully opening up today also.

At least they've vaccinated a higher percentage of there population with better vaccines.  

It's going to be an interesting test in any event.

I think its definitely a good idea to have spare cash in your safe at home and your refrigerator(s) stocked.

Limiting your time amongst other people while shopping,banks,etc is critical

That said people in our village and probably most thais live day by day.  All the reason to vaccinate and stop making excuses and procrastinating.

This country dives deeper and deeper into protectionism every day. Why can't we but ANY product online for home delivery, its 2021 for GS!

Much cheaper also.

The government has there greedy little fingers in all aspects of life.

Lazada is selling for about 10k an oxygen concentrator from Haier. It can get to 90/95% pure oxygen, depending on how high the flow rate is. Some cheaper models are 5k up but I'd say it would be hard to find HEPA filters for them as they are noname products. I'd say a concentrator would be a better idea than oxygen tank, as it can run continuously and concentrates O2 from the air. Once tank is empty, it's empty, but this can run all the time.

I agree!

In the USA that's what they give elderly patients.  Easy to use and transport around the house.

I'll definitely take a look.

Even China recognizes that there vaccines, Sinovac in particular, are not sufficient.

People who but, "It prevents death".  Thats not good enough if you're front line workers are laid up with high fevers and still contagious after getting the virus despite having two Sinovac shots.

That said its better than nothing, I guess.   

The government needs to be held responsible for this mess.  Total ineptitude.

School funding crisis coming right up. Not many Thais gonna pay for a school the kids can't go in to

I've already paid.

Bus fees.

Clothes.

I Know a portion is needed for school upkeep and salaries.

Our private school just sends homework to print and its up to the parents to create a curriculum.  

Theres no interaction on-line like other schools.

Hopefully get some money back, she's only attended 2 weeks.

Plenty of Free-Fire cell phone playing.

It's not. It's an efficacious vaccine in the fight against covid much better than receiving no vaccine at all.

Locals don't buy corned beef.

Since we have a Makro some years ago the markets and local shops in the district town suffer heavy.

The mom&pop shop owners storm Makro and pile up heavy on flatbed carts.

Stuff that they bought at local distributors in the past.

Printing their bills takes endless. Five digit amounts.

Food vendors buy chicken and pork in huge amounts at Makro.

Much less business for the markets.

More business for Dollar billionaires.

Makro is much safer and cleaner than the mom and pop shops.

I wouldn't touch the meats they sell at the local outdoor markets either.  No refrigeration and covered in flies.  Definitely cross contamination and I've never seen soap in the filthy markets shared bathroom area.

We do get our fruits and vegetables though.  I try and not think about the huge amount of pesticides they use.

Absolute nonsense, since when have this crowd ever listened to anybody who is not a general.

Here's one of my favorite.  Many Traditional Thai Medicines are being touted as working to alleviate Covid.
But sell a Traditional Thai Medicine online and claim it alleviates Covid and go directly to prison. 

So only certain, special people and institutions can give out TTM for Covid and everyone else is a fake and fraud and needs to go to jail.

How does that work in reality?  Same way it works for cannabis.

Certain people are protected and others are not?  This country really does suck sometimes.  All about money and wealth and power.

So unfair.

Most corrupt government everything to rule Siam.

Noticed that at the bottom. I rarely use Shopee... Now probably first time in 2-3 years.

 

I ordered tests before police started making fuss over offering them online. It was supposed to be pre-order to ship 2 weeks later but actually shipped immediately. Received them last week. Sealed, looking good. Expire in 2023. Looks like they were bulk packed, and then resold individually. Come with copied piece of instruction paper. The brand of the test is SD Biosensor.

I'll check it out.  

There are pharmacist in Thailand buying in bulk from Alibaba.  

Oxygen tanks is what I want.  Dying from lack of Oxygen sounds something out of a nightmare.

Really? I thought it was because it is easier to have a hand in the game that way. But, who am I? I can be wrong.

Whatever they can do pillage the Thai populace.

They are distributing exact same ones as the government pharmacies are offering. They come with A4 instructions sheet in English and Thai, a pictorial that is very easy to follow. So if what Shopee sellers are selling is substandard and ineffective, so is the stuff government is offering.

Shoppee has a money back guarantee though.

It is hard to know what the throught processes were. It was public knowledge when the local AZ production was announced that Thailand had only ordered 26 million out off 200 millioin expected annual capacity and there was widespread criticism by Thais of the small order.  The SBS project was supported with a loan of taxpayers' money to build the factory and a lot of lip service but there was no meaningful support in terms of an offtake agreement for meaningful quantities relative to the size of the Thai population which meant that AZ had to pre-sell more aggressively to other Asia countries to ensure the viability for SBS. Could it be that the government wasn't that happy that Siam Cement came up with this project as they were hoping to rely on Sinovac at 3 times the price?  But clever Siam Cement came up with a project they couldn't refuse. Just wondering because not much about it makes sense.

Everything is convaluted.

Reeks of corruption.

Anutin said everything is going as planned.  

Im surprised he's still walking around.  There must be plenty of mourners wanting revenge for there follies.
