Prepare for a spike, public health expert says, but don’t panic
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, sounds promising - maybe I'll get one of those when they're available easily and locally. -
Prepare for a spike, public health expert says, but don’t panic
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The government are not the ones who will panic, this was a choice, the inevitable 'huge' spike is the route they've chosen to go down. It's essentially managed herd immunity partially through vaccination and through infection for the rest. They know it's coming - it's part of the plan. -
Is there ever?

I've got a feeling there's a reason they're doing this and it's got nothing to go with helping the malls and other businesses out. The infection charts over the next few months should reflect the reasoning - everything that happens from now on is planned for. Remember that.

Patients don't escape and get rounded up / sent back, that's what you do to prisoners.... Of course they're not allowed to return home to isolate because their freedom has been revoked = they're prisoners.

You know, when I'm ill I tend to not feel like doing anything, never mind 'fleeing' Makes me wonder just how ill these prisoners are

What's about to unfold over the next month or two is the very definition of the word failure. Best to watch this spectacle from a safe distance.

No need to be vaccinated to use restaurants: Bangkok governor
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I wonder if it's up to the governor in each province to make up their own rules? -
Phuket Sandbox is failing foreign tourists: tourism official
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Yes, you did read that and it's what was said. It's wrong though, there's always a way to go back. This is the price they're now paying for enforcing 'zero covid', there was always a toll to pay during this pandemic - they delayed it a while and are now very far behind the rest of the world. Speaking of the rest of the world - lets not think for one minute that this is ending elsewhere - it's not. I see no reason whatsoever why winter 2021 will be much if any different to winter 2020 - anywhere. -

Believe it or not there's still people out there who think there's going to be a high season this winter ???? There's not..... -
No need to be vaccinated to use restaurants: Bangkok governor
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
In the UK this approach was referred to as the 'herd immunity' approach. -
Sure, that's what the headline says but this is what the actual article says : So here you are telling people to read the article when you clearly hadn't read it yourself. Something's wrong with the article, theoldgit mentions the headline contradicts the article - that's right - it does. So which one is correct? It's not possible to determine this from reading the article. Don't forget where you are.....this is Thailand - so for now I'm working on the assumption that whichever system they go with will be the most ludicrous and unworkable version possible to imagine - tests for everyone, every time and all the time.

Aug 29: Prachuap reports 396 new COVID-19 cases, 226 in Hua Hin
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
So a large group of people haven't been socially distancing at all which directly resulted in this largest of local outbreaks - that is very clear. Why didn't they report the source of the extra 100's of infections? It's well known information but I won't mention it here at the moment as I don't have the source to hand. -
China Will Donate Medical Supplies Worth 10 Million Yuan to Thailand

I hear Taiwan recently launched a new vaccine, I wonder if that will eventually be made available here in Thailand? -
Bitcoin price rises past $50,000 as rebound continues
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Cryptocurrency News
Little???? -
I'm not going to worry about this too much, they will all have been vaccinated and / or infected within the next 6 months or so. Infection detection rates are a joke, I would suggest people ignore them completely, they bear no resemblance to reality at all. I'm going to stay mostly in the house for the rest of the year doing whatever it is that I usually do minus any trips out for beers at local bars which is no great sacrifice. I strongly suspect Thailand will gain most of its immunity the old fashioned way - through infection.

It doesn't matter, the world will go on believe it or not with or without your participation. -
The read list exists for one reason only and it's not about case numbers, it's about new variants of COVID. When new variants are detected they attempt to keep them out for as long as possible. New variants have been detected in Thailand already, apparently they're inconsequential so far but they don't appear to be taking risks these days. They will continue to mutate - this is why Thailand was added to the red list.
