do share yes maybe if a person in already seriously ill before getting it, I am not a covid skeptic but I am becoming an omicron skeptic increasing by the day

let me correct you but I do get your point mainstream media are reporting it to seem that way for reasons unclear there were already 9000 people in hospitals in the UK before omicron who were actually ill, 900 odd since omicron have been detected in hospital - 45 deaths of people who were detected with omicron - actual cause of death not clear, mainstream media need to stop with the sensationalism reporting and stop trying to make news instead of reporting news, something that has been going on now for a long time with sinister agenda's throw in

it is becoming increasingly clear that the only treatment required for omicron is a box of tissues provided of course that you have had 2 shots of an effective vaccine and don't get run over by a bus after a positive test (UK)

Would any of these officials test positive for IQ They must sit and watch skynews or the BBC all day and then post something

I agree with that, the recent Israely guy is evidence that the PCR testing is highly suspect - testing positive in Bangkok then testing negative in Samui shortly after - it has scam written all over it

yes, self interest and money is number 1 - I think everyone is fully aware of that

and that is the problem right there, health insurance covers people who are sick not people who are forced into an expensive stay in hospital that is not required - I can see the why insurance companies are refusing to pay, if local authorities and government want to force these non sick people into hospital or a dedicated quarantine facility then they should be paying for it or should have provided insurance that covered this - simple This has been going on for months and is clearly a money grab

They are completely ignoring rapid tests - says it all really

exactly, I have looked around at many dumb idiots throwing caution to the wind and ignoring basic rules - there are too many for the police to do much out it It will be very interesting as they prepare for going to the airport which will involve producing a negative PCR test.......................have fun with that

you are border line "ignore" button which I use on people who offer no intelligent value to the discussion

let me say that properly for you people infected with omicron have died and here is a question for you how many people have died from omicron and show source of data

you seem to have some issues

deport and blacklist foreigners after they have been fined and jailed

well the people in charge believe they have done ok without an education so it is likely low on the priority - I would like to see an IQ test introduced for people seeking public office - as it stands 7/11 staff need qualifications to get their jobs very obviously the people running running the country don't

when is a test not a test - maybe Prayuth or Anutin can answer that one haven't heard too much from Phuket lately - have they also stopped reporting

great, they will now all be flooding to an already overcrowded soi Buakoew in Pattaya, just what we need

lets hope it is because people are no longer getting sick and presenting themselves to hospitals so are not counted

pretty much everyone driving or riding in Pattaya after 8pm are very likely to be intoxicated and that includes both Thai and foreigners, it's not hard to figure out when you see bars packed with hundreds of motorbikes parked for hours and then they all disappear at closing time the only way to stop it is zero tolerance 365 days a year - big fines - deport and blacklist foreigners and jail for repeat offenders and those that cause injury or death to others

I assume you are taken to a quarantine hospital with a brief stop at an ATM, Thais can isolate at home I believe

I honestly cannot see any other choice, and all those tourists who ignored the rules will be long gone in 2 weeks time and the bars that also ignored the rules will be shut the only light at the end of this long tunnel is that omicron is the end of this pandemic as early signs are indicating - lets hope

two comments do these ATK tests accurately detect omicron - I suspect not what happens if you do get a positive result I used to frequent venues around treetown quite a lot but decided to avoid the place and all the surrounding venues and sois as it is just too packed - going on 2 weeks now, they were allowed to open and were given instructions on how to aperate and all totally ignored - tourist farangs on holidays totally ignoring any rules and bar owners not giving a ## as long as they are packing their bars and making money, TBH I don't blame them but the authorities should have totally opened up to prevent the now obvious overcrowding - buakoew is now a covid superspreading event every day and is out of control Can't wait to hear the sob stories of these idiots trying to get a negative PCR test before their flights home over the next 2 weeks or so - was on a baht bus last night and 6 farangs not wearing masks - they may have just come from packed bars with no masks but I didn't

still failing on every front, does achievement and failure have the same meaning in Thai ?, I am confused

pratical - are you kidding, who is qualified to do the test - barcode linked to what exactly, most people don't spend all night in one venue - there is nothing remotely workable about this - it is pure nonsense

they had to say something I guess - not sure who has any confidence in this organisation anymore - I certainly do not

OMG, stupidity goes to level I never thought possible, this is not going to work. WHO IS PROFITING FROM ATK's is the QUESTION THAT NEEDS answered also how effective are Chinese sourced ATK'S at detecting omicron some concerns have been raised with test kits in the west with reports of false negatives
