The Chinese government slipped up and admitted that Sinovac was disappointing in its effeciency rate and it needs work.  Anutin the resident idiot keeps pushing it though, definitely has self interest in it.

Are there many domestic flights between 10pm and 4am out of interest ?

No, both were cancelled with this sweeping executive order.

I've never seen domestic flights at that hour.  Maybe because I live near Udon Thani airport.

Odd way to prevent the spread of the virus.  Also the red zones.  No problem getting in or out. 

A really big problem is relying on one manufacturer of the Astrazeneca vaccine.  One problem or shutdown there up <deleted> creek.  Why not spread it out to a few factories?

Also Astrazeneca is definitely losing its appeal with Switzerland actually giving its supply away and using Moderna and Pfizer instead.

Everyone knows why but there afraid of 15 years in prison for speaking the truth.

Nobody is withholding anything.  People feel very sick, sick enough to go to a hospital or clinic.  They go to find whats wrong with them.

There was an illegal garbage dump near our house.  We first went to the city who sided with us.  The following month they changed there mind.  Probably some money changing hands.  We then went to the provinces main department who eventually came out and closed it immediately.  Many villagers were upset they weren't allowed to dump there oil, dead dogs, batteries anymore.  The retard mentality.  There slowly polluting there water supply.

I just wanted you to know to be persistent.  Living next to a pig farm sounds bad enough.

Whereas the west has covered itself in glory with its planning. This covid-19 could be a blessing in disguise as a trial run for a really deadly disease, at least we could learn from our mistakes

There is no proven herd immunity.  You can still shed the virus after a vaccination.  The cheap vaccines chosen by Thailand are only about 50% effective. 

So many things done wrong by Anutin's health department that it would be funny if the end results weren't so deadly and catastrophic.

The owner has died from injuries resulting from the dogbites.

RIP

I've been there a lot this year, its so dead. Theres not many people to crash into.  But good news all the same.

Dog should be put down.

These pitbulls are just a dangerous breed.  Usually for people with small egos.

Does anyone know what "inactive post" actually means?........Do they sit at a desk doing nothing on full pay?

Yes,

Wait until things cool down and people forget then onto another prestige position.

And with the Sinovac Vaccine, the first Jab only gives 3 % Immunity.

Apparently it gets better after the second jab, so until the second Jabs are administered, there is very little protection.

After the second its 50.4%.  About the same with AstraVeneca against the UK strain.

Im glad I read this! 

I just filed with my cell phone.  Easy if you have your account number handy.  It took about 10 minutes.  Next up taxes that deadline has been extended to May 27th.

I think you need to report yourself.  You should have anticipated that.  Also he was avoiding a white truck on the left before merging into your lane to make a Uturn.  Some of these Thai drivers will pull you out of the car and beat the living sh*t out of you.

I'd be more courteous next time and stop driving so damn close to the car in front!

I have LED's and those are supposed to last 80,000 hours or something like 10 years.  12 watt seems bright.  Great savings compared to the old days but expensive to buy here in Thailand.

That's nice.

You're wrong yes but thats not meant to be a blunt statement its just that both Sinovac or AZ do not contain any of the live virus. If that was the case then the half a million people who have been vaccinated in Thailand so far are walking around infected.

???

Theres less than 200,000 people that have been vaccinated in Thailand.

Another problem will be the innefectiveness of SINOVAC,  Only 50.4%,  awful even by Chinese standars.

Sinovac is only 50.4,% effective.

Oil changes do not seem to cost much in the scheme of things.

Dealerships charge upwards of 3500 for an Oil change.  Stupidly I do this.  I've got all the upheep records when I sell it.

They don't seem to cross the 1,000 a day mark without a bit of flatlining first.

They ran out of tests at most locations again.  Going for a test is rather risky lining up with people coughing and sneezing.

that high figures infected means around 150 deaths daily.

already the last week in bangkok hospitals beds were full and shortage of tests.

those field hospitals will take time to arrange. It's not only beds, but personel and basic equipment and supplies of ppe

 

Most importantly make sure there's enough oxygen tanks.

CHINESE OFFICIALS SAY CHINESE VACCINES’ EFFECTIVENESS LOW

PM Prayut Chan-o-cha holds a vial during the welcoming ceremony for Sinovac vaccines at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Feb. 24, 2021.

BEIJING (AP) — In a rare admission of the weakness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines, the country’s top disease control official says their effectiveness is low and the government is considering mixing them to give them a boost.

Chinese vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” said the director of the China Centers for Disease Control, Gao <deleted>, at a conference Saturday in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

Beijing has distributed hundreds of millions of doses in other countries while also trying to promote doubt about the effectiveness of Western vaccines.

“It’s now under formal consideration whether we should use different vaccines from different technical lines for the immunization process,” Gao said.

 

The effectiveness rate of a coronavirus vaccine from Sinovac, a Chinese developer, at preventing symptomatic infections has been found to be as low as 50.4% by researchers in Brazil. By comparison, the vaccine made by Pfizer has been found to be 97% effective.
