Clueless.

Another TVF expert who discards the global facts.

Google what happened in Israel and to save you the effort, here's the uptodate data for the UK.

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

Showing increasing hospitalisations and deaths, in a highly vaccinated population.

Your bar ain't going to be having another high season. Full stop.

Vaccines wane after 6 months in case you missed that titbit of news as well.

 

Reputable science that you like to refer to has been saying for 100 years of studying infections and viruses that natural immunity beats vaccinations.

They rushed with vaccinations in Israel, they will still have to go through the process of acquiring natural immunity like those who didn’t rush. Countries like Australia that have been in lockdowns the longest will delay natural immunity the longest. Can’t fool mother nature.

It was funny reading doom and gloom predictions here. Was it intentional scaremongering or lack of experience in how the world operates not knowing that trees don’t grow to the skies, i don’t know. This wave of infections will end like any endemic infections end, after a significant share of population catches the virus. In Thailand half the population very likely already went through it and recovered. September will finish this process and this wave will subside to comfort levels to open the country just as promised.

The economy is good if you are on a government salary. Less work too , “managing”.

Good news, in a sense, for those looking to rent or buy.......another wave of covid is now bound to occur. 

 

UK 62.7% fully vaccinated and 30,000 plus cases per day.

 

Thailand 8% fully vaccinated (many with Sinovac).........not looking good.

Cases per day don’t matter. Never did. What matters is serious cases and deaths per day. Governments around the world have a hard time explaining why they made so much fuss about cases per day before, because it was a knee jerk reaction or worse. Nobody wants to admit that. All they know is they must open economy or face catastrophic results at next elections. Don’t hold your breath expecting logic in all of this, especially connecting cases per day before and today to governments’ actions. Governments that didn’t freak out don’t have to look this illogical and weak, Mexico is a fine example, Sweden, some others.

Good. Thailand will look like a regional genius if it starts opening with realization that covid is here to stay but people must eat.

Especially compared to Vietnam that seems to be going full retard where the government is determined to fight covid to extinction until last man.

1000 people dying a week on average now. I don't call that low. 1 month you say.  Let's see. By then testing will probably be less than 30,000 so you might be right. What you don't see won't hurt you or so the saying goes.

Exactly, what you will not see is the deaths from economic, physical and psychological health damage caused by lockdowns. They will not report them with the intensity they report these bs infections which are a tip of the iceberg. They will not report them so it didn’t happen.

Infections are a tip of the iceberg. I am pretty sure i have had covid over the past 2-3 weeks as i’ve had some of its specific symptoms, that never happened for flu or common cold before. It will not be reported, as millions of others. I see people around me have the same specific symptom of dry cough which lasts 2-3 weeks. Almost all deaths in my town are people over 65yo, not too many. Younger people recover on their own without reporting it. Vaccination levels are low here, so it happens naturally. I will go have a test for antibodies in 1 month to confirm that it was covid i had, but it sure looks like it. Natural immunity is best. I will still have to get vaccinated later this year to enter Thailand.

how many died in India - do you even know

Fewer than will die from malnutrition and early deaths from chronic diseases resulting from malnutrition, especially kids of young age. There is statistics of millions added to the number on the edge of starvation compared to 2019, and this economic mess is only beginning to rear its ugly head. It will be a turbulent decade. Economy does not forgive nor forget.

Yes. Other doctors in the west were saying this back in spring 2020 but they were quickly shot down in the media, devoiced in youtube, etc.

This thai doctor describes what has just happened in India - most people got sick and acquired natural immunity from the live virus, the wave went down. The number of detected infections is bs everywhere, real numbers are in billions now, mortality rate is very low. What happened in India is now happening in Thailand, give it another month to play out.

They can come...what's stopping them?

PCR tests and no night life.

People who come for the temples, that’s about right, 150 000.

Remove PCR tests, open bars with Isaan girls - 3 000 000 this year easy. I miss feeding sick buffaloes as i am sure others too.

Pretty odd post when the western countries have stagnated economies while the dynamism and growth are in Asia. Asia is not only the fastest growing economic region, as well as the largest continental economy by both GDP nominal and PPP in the world. Obviously it is down the individual western leaders managing their countries and not doing a good job. Perhaps it is down to Asian collective cultures that brought them prosperity. 

Growth in Asia, as most everywhere in the world, happens not due to governments’ efforts but despite governments’ efforts. Remove government from the equation and growth will accelerate. Asian countries have higher rates of growth because they started from a very low base.

So you believe in the Mormon way of life and she should have been accepting of his proposition...so sister wives of you.

Please do not mix in any religion here, they only serve to control the herd.

There are two kinds of men in the world those who like to be woman’s property and follow her orders and those who don’t. Please keep religions out of this.
