  1. other countries have been consistant in testing numbers making it a non variable in the overall data, Thailands testing numbers have been reducing making detection data unreliable not that testing has ever been in significant numbers to begin with - I think they reached a daily total of 76k several weeks ago which I now believe is closer to half that number. As for deaths and serious illness outside of hospitals - that one is anybodies guess as those that die outside of hospital care go up in a puff of smoke without any medical professional attending
  2. The Virus is SARS Corona 2 The disease it causes is COVID 19 Vaccines protect a person from developing the disease COVID 19 and help the body defeat the virus before it get a chance to replicate and lead to the disease I wish people would get on board with this before making missleading statements
  3. indeed, he seems to be reliant on google for his groundbreaking posts then makes a right idiot of himself trying to make himself relevant, these are the sort of quacks recommending 75% reduced doses and incorrect unapproved methods to administer the vaccines, I wonder what he will say in a few months when Thailands vaccine program becomes an even bigger failure than it is already - oh we thought these unapproved methods would work - too late when you are back into lockdowns in a few months with hospitals filling up again and a 4th/5th wave ravaging the country - stupid is what the stupid do
  4. I wish people would stop posting inaccurate information like this it not correct (for now) - there are breakthrough infections happening but boosters seem to negate that also, don't forget we are still very early in the evolution of this virus Vaccines do not stop a virus entering the body (the absolute definition of infection) They do prevent a person from developing COVID 19 (the disease) in the vast majority of cases and therefore help prevent spreading of the virus, Please do some research before posting incorrect information You can start here - it is a long video but well worth watching and pretty much covers everything there is to know about vaccines - SARS Corona 2 Virus and the COVID 19 disease it causes
  5. experts in the UK and US made this point weeks ago about herd immunity even though comparing it to tetanus is rather silly as has already been pointed out The reason they are saying herd immunity doesn't work is because the current vaccines are not 100% effective and on top of that fade after about 8 months or for some vaccines less effective less time like the Chinese vaccines It is why it is also believed that at some point everyone will get covid 19 vaccinated or not Herd imminity is a state were the virus burns itself out and dissapears - they are simply saying this will not happen what does it change - nothing, vaccines still protect against the spread and serious illness
  6. That is true of countries who have a high vaccination rate where absolute numbers of infections are becoming less relevant as a measure - Thailand isn't there yet
  7. deaths in hospitals were they are properly diagnosed and reported - not so sure in the rest of the country were recording of deaths is a grey area
  8. oh dear, lesson to learn here is never transfer money without seeing the merchandise especially on FB Market well done to the Thai police involved
  9. getting a much clearer picture now of what we're dealing with and it isn't good lets hope money doesn't come into play with this as it so often does in Thailand
  10. I doubt it, they are not doing enough testing and more important genome testing looking for dangerous mutations which Thailand is at high risk of developing because of their failed vaccine program - mixing stuff - 75% dose reduction - unapproved method of administration it is quite a catalog of failures and poor choices
  11. they just are not getting it are they - more red tape and hoops to jump through do they really want foreign tourists, it is hard to figure out because they keep throwing obstacles in the way First of all, they must agree to a period of quarantine, as part of the Public Health Ministry’s measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, and must show booking receipts from the hotels in which they will isolate. Then, they must show evidence of payments for their lodgings during their stay in the kingdom, which can be a rented house, a rented condominium room or a title deed of a condominium room. They are also required to have health insurance, with a minimum of US$ 100,000 cover for COVID-19 treatmentvalid for the entire period of their stay in the country.
  12. now if that is not a wind up baiting post I honestly don't know what is my ignore list is building from 2 in 10 years to 20 in 10 weeks I bet I sound like a broken record
  13. normally I don't bother with what they are doing stupid or otherwise because it rarely impacts on me ................but this does The fact is they dropped the ball on this and are trying to cover it up with lies and utter stupidity for all to see CCSA is a joke - they do exactly what one person tells them to do and we know who that is - nobody elected him to run the country - he was appointed by people who were also not elected - that is Thai democracy right there - the people thought they voted for something lol Just wait until this covid is out of the way - it won't be Red or Yellow it will be all - every Thai in this country that I know wants change and they will not stop until they get it IMO
  14. don't hold your breath or expect anything resembling the truth - this guy I have no doubt is very guilty of something - but ...............................................we will never know what really went on here IMO, I will reach my own conclusions when I hear about 12 year kids and attempted rape, this story is more than the lady in the massage shop and nobody wants to tell it, we might find out more if his full name is released IMO
  15. a hailing service app usually gives a very accurate estimate of the cost and the route of a journey
  16. are you suggesting that this massage shop might have been a front and was offering something more sinister or the mentioned 12yo was the womans daughter and the woman had a current or past relationship with this American I have to admit the original report on here made no sense to me, I just put it down to poor reporting I think you are right - there is a lot of stuff missing from this story Either way glad they caught this scumbag before he butchered or abused anyone else, very likely not his first rodeo
  17. welcome to my ignore list, I really have no time for foolish nonsense
  18. Either fully open the country up or don't bother - if you cannot open to locals how on earth can you open to foreigners, and your anti alcohol CCSA dinosaurs along with anti drink Prayuth should all resign, it is clear you have no clue what you are doing, it is embarrassing to watch you may personally have views on alcohol consumption but you need to realise that it is an important integrated part of tourism and many social and entertainment structures, you cannot stop it so get your heads out of the sand and face reality Get the country open again - you claim 70% of people will be fully vaccinated by 15th Oct, lets plan for that in Hua Hin and Pattaya and get things fully open to locals first, increase testing in those areas to monitor the situation then if all is good open to foreign tourists 1st Nov, this cannot go on forever, and drop the anti-alcohol nonsense - stop trying to force your personal ideals on the rest of the population - keep it to yourself
  19. they caught covid from a local who went undetected because the only people being vigorously screened on Phuket were the foreign (so called) tourists who were then penalized with expensive quarantine, they got it all the wrong way round, the people being vigorously tested should have been the locals who were likely to infect foreign guests many on here doomed it to failure before it even started listing all the reasons why and you still went ahead, it has been an epic failure and still is, now you propose to open up Hua Hin and Pattaya with the same failed format, this is just shocking stupidity. Either open the country up or don't - if you cannot open to locals how on earth can you open to foreigners, and your anti alcohol CCSA dinosaurs along with anti drink Prayuth should all resign
  20. after watching the video there must have been something got lost in translation
  21. it honestly reminds me of a car sales shop trying to sell me the freshly painted dud with filler and a blown engine and has the cheek to offer a payment plan - if you want this dog you have to pay up front for our insurance - stay in our expensive SHA hotel - we will test you for disease every 3 days and if you fail at any point we will shift you off to our covid slammer at your extra expense and how ### wonderful is that - an offer you cannot refuse even more amazing 2022 ..................what's not to like
  22. Prayuth said there would be no flooding 2 weeks ago said it was all under control - he would give an order as a General and make it all go away - yet another mess
