and this is were is all gets rather murky with

 

Police officers in Pattaya now in quarantine and fellow officers now out mixing with the public knowing they have been in contact with people infected or have been in buildings where virus has been spreading, they are now breaking their own rules 

 

Anyone now feel comfortable having close contact with cops in pattaya - I certainly don't 

I agree, now get everyone in a police van and expose anyone at the police station doing mounds of paperwork and probably using one or two pens that actually works there.  Lots of waisted energy.

The foreigner's could've waited until July 1st when everything opens again, at least on Phuket.

It's going on every day on all the time on earth.

People have to eat, theres no work.

I think the "hub" thing is private hospitals like Bumrungrad, not the public health system.

Your right.  Medical hub though?  

"just a misunderstanding"

I thought Thailand was the medical hub of Asia...

cut the defense budget in half, get rid of 80% of the generals/commanders etc etc and support the health industry.

Lots of hub talk.

The "Medical Hub" of Asia as Anutin has proclaimed so many times is grossly overrated.

Besides a just a few good hospitals there basically huge aging buildings with rooms.  Very few doctors or supplies.  Family has to do the nurses job.  No food service.  Filthy bathrooms.

Bangkok Hospital email:  "Currently Covid Vaccine is still not available at Bangkok Hospital Group. We will let you know as soon as possible once we have further update information." Not really clear if having emailed them got me on any sort of list or not or if they just mean they will let everyone on their mailing list know.

Thanks

Hopefully they'll have a list for the Issan areas of Thailand.

Actually the UK still controls over 70% of global wealth and London is still financial capital of the World and probably will remain so throughout this century. Where do you think all the dirty money from the Thai Generals ends up?

 

That is how the Empire is still maintained. Brits are far too clever to continue to use force when subjugation can be achieved through other methods.

 

Of course we still punch far above our weight in theatre of conflict, and can project our power globally second only to the US when it comes to effective global mobilisation, which even China as yet still cannot do. 

Nope:

Field hospitals ?

 

Surely they mean covid incubation centers .

 

Giant petri dishes for the plebs. Not going to get any high so and sos going near them.

Not much worse than government hospitals.  Even in the best of times.  Your family has to stay to take care of you.  Theres no food service.  Usually no soap in the toilet area.  I guess better than Laos though, the hiso Laos used to come here for treatment (private hospitals).

Very scary.  Imagine all the mosquitos and screaming.

Except that India set up vaccine production a long time ago.

 

However, I would expect the government to do a better job of organizing vaccinations in Thailand, once large quantities of vaccine are available.

 

On second thought: Thailand has already vaccinated 1,000,000 people, so why aren’t all health care workers vaccinated already?

Here's reality:

Less than 95,000 have gotten a second dose.

Also it's the Chinese Sinovac that besides causing paralysis in some patients is less than 50% effective and reports of only 3% effective.

The consequences of lockdown outweighs C-19 who has a degree of recovery near to 97%.

its a deliberate excuse to execute world elite orders.

the number of these stand at around 400 to 450 people.

think what you may but one thing is for sure; the world will never go back to pre March 2020.

don’t take my word for it, wait and see.

Wow, your so interspective!

Now go get another beer.

They have had a year to learn but still managed to be completely wrongfooted, idiots the lot of em...

Also there acting like a few cases here a few there.  Yesterday Prime Minister of the Junta says"not to worry, we have it under control".  Everything is lies.  There not ready and never will be.  There are no Emergency beds available or extra Oxygen they will be needing.  Anutins useless herbal treatments owned by some very important person making no impact on the virus.

Terrible!

One week, probably less than that.  Hopefully won't end up like India and Brazil with no Oxygen.  Cancel the damned submarines and buy what the country needs now.  Remember there were no masks or hand sanitizer for 6 months at the beginning of the pandemic yet we still have the same greedy Chinese loving idiots calling the shots!

All due to the government encouraging the citizenry to travel over Songkran and merrily spread the virus to the four corners of the Kingdom.

Harsher measures is just what they want to suppress opposition to their incompetent administration.

I also note that the billionaire health Nut is keeping quiet and out of site recently, since the surge in cases.

Until today recommending herbal remedies.

"Another problem from private labs, he said, is that some of them are not up to the standard and their positive test results are false, causing concern among those who were falsely tested positive. Some of these people were put together with those who are actually infected."

 

Wow!

 

Who had thought that it was that easy for healthy people to win a free 14-day stay in one of these brand new comfortable field hospitals, including being exposed to the virus there?

Its not free for falangs.

What about the"Head of the medical department", that idiot Anutin?

He apologizing for having him in charge of anything.

Should be put down before he kills again.

Out of Samui, Phuket, and Pattaya Hua Hin is really the only place that has some feeling of things happening.  I was booked for a High End hotel for Songkran and it abruptly closed because some staff and guests got Covid-19.  Never saw it reported on the news though.

And there you have it. Waiting on Siam Bioscience to make and supply the majority. 

And why can't they mention it's owned wholly by one person.  It obviously would be beneficial for there be more manufacturers in case theres a problem and to create some open market competition.

Heres the prices for some vaccines on the open market as of Sunday:

But it's almost 100% effective at keeping you out of the ICU.

Nope, vaccinated people are getting the virus and going to the hospital including the ICU.

That may be because they won't be able to inoculate many people.  Thailand just doesn't have the infrastructure or medical personnel.  It's really a very inept.

If it gets out of control then they need to (and will) lock down until the population are largely vaccinated.

 

Impossible.

Also Thailand doesn't have the vaccines to even vaccinate 2% of the population.

They seem to have skipped over the fact that the Chinese then have to quarantine on returning to China.......tourism just ain't going to happen anytime soon.

So true.  So many people keep yapping about a quarantine.  Countries aren't letting there citizens visit a country that hasn't vaccinated it's residents, immigrant workforce, or other person living within its borders.  They don't want some Covid-19 variant or variants coming back after responsibly vaccinating there own population.  Without Thailand vaccinating at least 80% of the people within its borders theres going to be very little visitors and the ones who do come will have to quarantine when they get home.  Booster shots will be needed 6 months after.  Thailand is so behind I don't see any tourist in big numbers for years to come.

Is it really a huge deal? 

The only ones suffering are the teachers who may lose a month salary and the parents who have to find alternative care. The kids wont suffer at all. On my EP a waste of space got 1 out of 15 in both her exams yet passed with 62% when I saw her end of year results. The Thai education system is much like the rest of Thailand . . . an illusion. Nothing will change, apart from new tricks to keep the illusions believable to some!

I agree.  I was a teacher here.  They wanted me to teach science for a semester.  I told I didn't know much about science.  They said"no problem".  I needed a paycheck back then.

Identified outbreaks originating in a school? Zero. Close them.

Identified outbreaks originating in markets? Many but keep them open.

 

 

People have to eat.  Especially up here in Issan.  Many houses don't have a fridgerator let alone the money to put food in it.  Schools happen to big spreadors because children usually don't follow the mask or distance rules let alone wash there hands regularly.  It's just the way kids are.
