More like the CCP's approach. The PM in the UK was asked repeatedly yesterday when will all restrictions be lifted and when will the UK learn to coexist with Covid. Omicron, or further variants, will continue to circulate for centuries. Thailand would be better concentrating on boosters rather than hysterical panicking.

Don't think so.

He's clueless, spreading dangerous misinformation. Just in case anyone really believes his nonsense.

Here's a study... It states that the mortality rate of unvaccinated people is 24 times higher than those who have been vaccinated.

You forget that people in the UK have been still under a few restrictions and more importantly that the population has modified it's socialising over the Christmas period. People mix less because they are mixing in smaller family units over the Christmas period. The figures you quote are worst case IF the virus was allowed to run wild. Whilst not scaremongering, it certainly focuses the population's mind on what could happen. That's why although the NHS is under pressure, those in hospital are a lot less than last January. The UK has virtually all its vulnerable population triple jabbed as well.

https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n3079 Here's more truth. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59696499.amp Yet more.

In the UK, 90% of people in ICU are unvaccinated. The evidence to get vaccinated and boosted is overwhelming.

Yes, you are lost. A bit like these brothers who thought they knew better. https://news.sky.com/story/igor-bogdanoff-80s-french-tv-star-dies-from-covid-days-after-twin-brother-grichka-12508738 Both unvaccinated. You will not avoid omicron. Most people who have been tripled jab think it's like a bad cold/mild flu. For those who think they know better than global science, like yourself, then they could get very sick indeed. I doubt you'll be spouting your ill informed nonsense to the doctor who's charged with trying to save your life. You don't need to reply to me, i couldn't care less if you get jabbed or not. I do care about you taking up a bed for a non covid patient who is denied one because of you

Virtue signaling.

Many YouTube vlogs now turning up about people testing positive on arrival. Young English guy has said his insurance company may not pay for his 10 day asymptomatic incarceration. Bill is 200,000 baht. He's telling people not to come near Thailand. Many guys on the PA forum are openly bailing now and most postponing until the end of this year. People in the UK are beginning to openly talk about opening up and starting to live with covid. I think Thailand will be unnecessarily cautious for a very long time. The snail pace of vaccination is not doing expat or tourists any favours. The HiSo's really don't care.

Looks like they've got bored and are aiming for hopeful herd immunity by accident. Thailand's 5 minute attention span now being applied to vaccinations.

To be fair, the UK slowed considerably over the Christmas holiday period but was hitting it out of the park before that. Like him or loathe him, Boris seems to spend most of his time at vaccination centres when he's not in Downing Street. He is banging the drum for boosters on a daily basis. Thailand has nearly a full booster campaign to roll out, let alone getting 70% of it's population double jabbed. Either fatigue is beginning to set in or else "who cares about the peasantry" syndrome.

Forget tourists, i think a lot of expats may start making plans to leave Thailand. If they haven't burned their bridges already that is. Pattaya is beginning to look old and worn really quick. That Treetown area will be next to be sold to a Sino Thai developer when the landlord realises that the tourism tap has been turned off again. Then Phuket will go back to monsoon shuttered mode in a few months.

Are the Thai scientific geniuses going to keep quarantining their citizens for an endemic virus that will be with us for centuries? First time i have heard that scrubbing with bleach is of any use against a respiratory virus passed by microscopic globules. Surprised no one has mentioned that Thailand's hysterical response is following more of a CCP model than a developed western one. Apparently, China has locked down 2 cities and confined their citizens to barracks.

Quite right. One is science based and the other is conspiracy anti vax garbage that has led to many dying and now suffering life changing long covid. Seems more and more people are finally realising that taking horse dewormer is not the answer and are rolling up there sleeve to get their first jab. This will only increase as people realise that vaccination is the only way out of this mess. Hopefully, sterilising broad spectrum vaccines will only be a few years away. Then we will finally not have to listen to the crazees spouting their equivalence of irrelevant discredited crank based nutty professor nonsense.

The sheer pathetic desperation of someone who has to travel 6000 miles to be forced to get tested, to be allowed to drink in a bar and then pay someone to say they like him. If you fail the first hurdle, you risk getting taken to hospital. Ever thought of putting your hands in a meat grinder?

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/232698/omicron-largely-evades-immunity-from-past/ Your 5 times more likely to be reinfected with omicron than delta. It's a respiratory virus that you can catch multiple times a year. The scientific ignorance on this forum is staggering, not surprising though seeing whose making the posts.

Or crushed by anti vax crazees poisoning internet forums with complete rubbish. Then this happens -

It's called factual information. Here's another fact, i have just reported you for personal abuse.

Mask wearing has been brought into schools in the UK to allow them to open. It is now politically unthinkable in the UK to close schools. No matter what they will remain open. Studies are now showing the damage the initial closures did to kids mental health and learning.

Omicron peaks very quickly and subsides quickly. South Africa and globally. It has sweep through Pattaya already even though the Thai authorities are cooking the testing books.

Yet Thailand only has 3,000 cases. How do you tell Thai officials are lying? They are moving their lips.

Exactly, the CCSA will do what their told. You think they would be allowed to make a fool of this uneducated unqualified bricklayer.

Omicron has been seeded in Thailand weeks ago. It's everywhere. It's blown through Pattaya already. It will rip through the rest of Thailand as sure as night follows day and bringing in token, headline grabbing and virtue signaling quarantines for a handful of tourists won't make a jot of difference. It will however keep up the xenophobic narrative of keep the filthy farangs out. As usual, i would think the "i'm alright jack brigade" are a bunch of old geezers mucking out buffalo sheds in Nakon Nowhere on a UK frozen state pension. Meanwhile, their Thai neighbours fall further and further into debt. Of course, this is of no concern to them or the Hi So Thai's who are happy to keep Thailand as SE Asia's leader in wealth inequality.
