This may be one of the first ‘announcements’ this Dr has made which I find completely agreeable - his points are all valid. 

 

The only outstanding question regarding the more contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 is do more patients present more serious symptoms ?... i.e. do the variants result in more sever Covid-19, greater long term impact, higher fatality rates (per case) ?

Its more deadly.

There are no records of the B117 strain in Myanmar from world databases. There are now 15  records of the B117 strain in Thailand, 9 were from positive cases found in ASQ. The other 6 are from the recent bar outbreaks in BKK. 

 

It's unlikely to be from Myanmar.

 

It would be practically impossible to test for varients of the virus let alone any testing in Myanmar at the moment.  Before the coup Covid-19 was rampant throughout Myanmar.  It certainly isn't getting better.

They have never manufactured a vaccine in the past.

 

In the US J&J wasted 15 million doses, what could go wrong in Thailand

That was Astra Zenica screw up..  J&J have taken over that production facility.

Once the AZ vaccine is in full production / roll out they will have more vaccine supplies than all the other COVAX countries.

 

It's just taking a little longer to get started.

 

First they will catch up, then they will surpass - so long as the roll out is handled well.

Oh please!  It's a complete failure.

"Mr Anutin said that it was tradition that people should want to return home to make merit with family."

In our Issan village they mostly just drink and argue.  If we have to do any driving for supplies we try to do it early before they start drinking and driving.

Skateboarding and BMX bikes.  Sounds like a bunch of teenage kids.

Two of my wifes friend's have decided to leave Bangkok early just in case they impose alockdown.  I assume there will be many more.

Come to Chiang Mai, where the entire city is the smoking section. 

.....And hotel prices are still through the roof.

I hope they are begging to test for different variants of the virus.

So now they have found those are they going to test the rest? 214 is less than 10%.

Yes, seems so inefficient.  Everything is done on the cheap here.  In any case its frightening with thr staff being out in the general public.  Its a large prison.

find it is best to let the fan run 'automatic'.  Also, if you have a "Dry" option, you might try that.

I find automatic is the best settings.  I have to have ours cleaned once a year in Sakon Nakhon.  It's a pretty thorough job with water pressure and cleaning the condenser outside.  Amazingly cheap up in Isaan, around 1400.00 baht for 6 air cons.

Vaccine deaths 30? Maybe

 

Covid deaths 2,760,000 definite......mmmm?

Theres been a lot of concern in the press about blood clots with the Astra Zenica vaccine.  Unfortunately that and the Sinovac are the only options available here.

Why don't you stick to the speed limits and save lives???

Unfortunately most deaths are because of the high rate of motorcycles driven here.  Most people can't afford cars here because of the goverments massive tax on purchasing a car.

The speed limits are really to low.  Most accidents here are caused by slow drivers that causes people having to constantly pass.  Also tractors and non working lights on cars and motorcycles, Thats my opinion anyway.
