Thailand reports highs for new COVID-19 cases and recoveries
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That's not what I see at all -
Thailand’s national police chief is worth 104 million baht
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A quick audit of his tax records over the last 10 to 20 years should show if everything is all ok, it's not an unusually large amount of wealth. -
I'm surprised only by how unsurprised I am that the covid prisons are now actual prisons

Immigration say there is no secret list of security threats
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So there is a list, it's just not a secret list, especially since it leaked - makes perfect sense here. -
U.S. CDC urges avoiding travel to Thailand over COVID-19

I'm pretty sure I won't have received my first shot before the end of the year never mind a booster. -
U.S. CDC urges avoiding travel to Thailand over COVID-19
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When it beomces the same as a 'cold' then it's a cold. We're not there yet though. Data can be gathered from largely unvaccinated countries which have widespread outbreaks of Delta and the next variants which will surely emerge in due course. There are many such countries where hardly anyone is vaccinated and Delta is running rampant over the whole population. Eventually someone will run the numbers and do proper national sero surveys....the only worry is that these numbers will be suppressed for some unimaginable reason. -
Wow, such a shock in a country of 70 million people. How many people have heart attacks, strokes or an aneurysm or even just something like an asthma attack while driving each and every day? A friend of mine had a minor stroke once, he was driving at the time, bringing the kids home from school. He noticed something was wrong when he started drooling as he lost control of one side of his face. He managed to pull over, this was a very minor stroke, he was lucky. It happens all the time and not everyone is so lucky as my friend was.

U.S. CDC urges avoiding travel to Thailand over COVID-19

There is pretty much only the delta variant in many regions of the world at the moment. This will change in due course when it mutates again and again, etc. What we need is a variant which spreads like wildfire AND doesn't really kill many people, I'm sure this will come along, it's just a matter of when... -

Absolutely no mention of foreigners as Pfizer vaccine rollout begins

Thai police seeking spyware that will help it monitor chat applications

Yes, raises a question though. Isn't political protest perfectly legal in Thailand? -

Oh, I see, makes sense now. I guess they should have vaccinated more people? -

It's strange at the moment that Israel is on the list considering the very high number of people already vaccinated. Why is that?- 91 replies

COVID-19 Infection Rate in Bangkok Is Decreasing
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
There is a scenario where it falls quickly but it's only something that shows up after the fact. It can run out of enough previously uninfected hosts to infect, the numbers don't reflect that right now, but then again - they didn't reflect that in India either - the subsequent sero survey did show that a massive percentage of the population in some Indian areas were infected although they didn't know it at the time. In fact I read that 67% of indians had antibodies to COVID yet only a tiny fraction of this 67% were tested positive for infection. Source on the percentage : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/21/covid-19-antibodies-detected-in-67-of-indias-population -

These 'variants' don't seem to last more than about half a year before being superceded by the next generation. I wonder what we will have at the end of the year, and where it will come from. I suspect there is a very strong chance that a new variant will come out of Southeast Asia now it's spreading widely.

Thailand ranked among the worst countries for internet freedom
ukrules replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
Not for the Thais which is all that really matters after all. Also the people aren't as dumb as you might think, they are not happy at all. -
It's a good job we've been repeatedly reminded how little tourism matters to the Thai economy over the years, merely a few percent they all said. Belittled on a regular basis, the mighty Thailand does not rely on tourism in any way, shape or form ????
