That's if everyone in Thailand got Covid. I know that's not very realistic, but still the upward boundary. 1% of 70m.

Them mathematicians again.

U forgot one major fact. There are many many people. Like majority. Who doesnt test and still have covid. 2 days running nose and he good to go. Or no symptoms at all. 

So ur 1 percent is more like 0.1 percent or even lower.

Hello ,

well that’s very funny Thailand and China are concerned about corruption and transparency  !!??  5555 ???? Lol ???? , Thats like the Devil saying he’s a good person !! 
Sinovac , Sinopharm and Sputnik v are low quality covid vaccines and because the failing Thai Government’s Covid Policies and Vaccination Policies we now stand in a very long global waiting line for good vaccines like Moderna and Pfizer.

As a person Immune compromised and a a Type-2 Diabetic why would I want to get injected with low quality vaccines like Sinovac , Sinopharm or Sputnik v that all have under 52% Efficacy !!??

Not !! Happening with me Thailand !! 
oh !! P.S. , You talk about transparency and honesty.

Please , How about for example honesty and transparency about the 2 million + Pfizer vaccines donated by America ???????? To Thailand that 20% of the vaccines were agreed upon sharing with Expats !!?? 
That would be a start down the path of honesty and transparency !! ???? 

 

safe and Healthy Wishes to ALL !! 

 

 

While bashing "commie jabs" i advise u to think why the <deleted> Israel is back in quarantine and why Britain still put countries in red zones? Arent u guys all jabbed now? Herd Immunity? Hello?

What have  immigrants arriving illegally on the shore with no funds to pay have to do with this? They will be isolated/quarantined in a camp - what else are you expecting UK authorities to do? This is about Thailand’s failure to vaccinate/control spread and by its numbers/situation qualifying for red list status - that’s where you should be directing your ire. Did Thailand get you/your partner fully vaxed with a proper vaccine yet ?

What about that Herd Immunity that was promised?

No , they need drop that too - Take a family of 5 on holiday and you're look at maybe £300 or more for the tests. The nearest test centre to me is 50 miles away ! It's another bar to travel and a needless one.

 

What's the point anyway ? Your getting on a plane with vaccinated people who cannot get an illnesses you maybe have as they have all been vaccinated against it anyway and who are about to mix in another country with people that you have no idea that have either been tested, vaccinated or infected !

 

Unless you PCR the entire nation you fly too, the flight is probably safer than the holiday

One pcr in home country. One on arrival at Suvarnabhumi. 1 day in quarantine at a designated hotel. If its negative do the <deleted> u want. No bs about positive person in ur row and other bs.

Positive. Get in ASQ if no symptoms, hospital if Symptoms. All payed by insurance. Easy peasy!

Russians goin nonstop to Turkey now. Prolly 50 planes a day. PCR or sputnik before flight.

No pcr on arrival.

Everyone is back home. No deathfields, no nothing. The <deleted> is wrong with u, Thailand?

Stop the liberal tears . I know many Russians, been there like 30 times. They love to drink both women and men. If they go to Phuket and most places are closed that's not going to work for them. The single men  also like the ladies. If they aren't in Phuket for the guys another turn off for them. Those are facts . Besides that Until Covid has been  contained here in Thailand ,once again a major turn off 

Do i have to drink vodka now? Simply becouse im russian? Well, id rather drink red dry, but if u insist i can take a shot or two. But only if meal is hearthy.

But no bars for me. Im married man.

How about we travel Thailand the way we want it? Id love to visit Chiang Mai for few days, do a lil hiking there. Then maybe go to Isaan for world famous food. Then i might lay dont for few weeks on Samui. Around Maenam area.

Or do i have to do it as some nolifer on TV says? Get a life.

When they find out all the bars are closed and alcohol is banned everywhere good luck getting 50 Russians to come here

This is a false claim, and a bit xenophobic.

Bunch of russians going thailand(also bali) to survive a winter. Full families. With newsborns and mothers in law.

I spent couple of years(combined) in Thai. I was in a bar just once.

Do Russians need to quarantine upon their return, when coming back from a high-risk country such as Thailand?

 

That will have a significant impact on the number of Russian tourists they can attract. No matter how easy or attractive they make things here in Thailand.

No, but PCR test on return is mandatory.

I know what you mean. I still shudder at the quality of life in Denmark. 

As for your comment about Afghanistan, the adjective "moronic" would not be inappropriate.

Mmm Denmark, hows taxes there?tough choice. Pay 0 taxes in dubai or pay 50 percent in Denmark?

U have no idea how happy id be knowing that huge part of my taxes goin to "housing migrants", "gender studies in Afghanistan" and supporting GAN institution. But id go to Dubai. Sorry mate. And screw freedom of press. Its freedom of who pay more. And as other dude said u call it "lobbying". Same <deleted>, different name.

Whats lobbying index in States by the way?

I think a legitimate concern would be fake vaccination certificates. Corruption in Russia is rampant and the population very averse to vaccination.

Its will be a qr code  certificate procedure. Which is harder to fake.

Its like fake registration numbers. Looks legit but u gonna have troubles on a first checkpoint.

Also state tv 24/7 showing how people gettin time for selling AND buying fake paper certificate(two types of them here).

Also like 20 percent of russians have internation passports. Same as jabbed. Coincidence? I dont think so))

PS leave that bs vocabulary (rampant) fo cold era. Russia is different now.

What pie?

Egypt is free to enter. Sputnik jab qr code and u free to roam. No pcrs, no sandbox. Do whatever u want.

Its all while thais discuss if its possible to reduce quarantine from 14 to 7 days. Are u serious?

Better at Mathematics than you are at reading wouldn’t you say ???

 

 

 

[Quote: The virus has spread through the strike group’s 3,700 strength crew despite them being fully vaccinated]

 

On a navy vessel, everyone working, eating, sleeping in close quarters......  The possibility that all or the vast majority of the sailors were not exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is perhaps more unrealistic. 

 

Now... back to your Math, try some reading too... 

 

 

 

Yeah, all 3200 were exposed to virus. Keep dreaming mate.

Op what is your point: 

 

Assuming the British Navy were vaccinated with Pfizer which reportedly has a 96% efficacy.

 

100 people of a 3,700 strong crew contracted Covid-19 - thats 2.7% and well within the efficacy rates.

 

None of the sailors suffered serious effects.

 

The vaccine did exactly what it was supposed to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mate, u are really bad with math. 3200 crew. It doesnt mean all of them were exposed))

And if the Thai govt had accepted it doubtless you'd be claiming it was due to those same brown envelopes. Given the lack of supporting data offered by the Russian, that accusation would have made more sense. Stop with the reflexive accusations of corruption, already. 

 

Who cares. Russian jab will be approved one way or another.  Russians are on a second place as most valuable tourists for thai economy. Thai goverment wont play with it. As i mentioned before thai goverment would approve saline as a russian jab. Anything to keep them buyin those tours. Egypt is open, turkey is open. Cyprus is open. Many places to go now. 

U can bash sputnik all day long. It wont change anything.

No millions. Maybe couple of hundred thousands. If u want millions to arrive u need to ease restriction completely. Would a chinaman fly to Phuket to have 3 nose swabs for 300 bucks? Nope, No, Niet! Not gonna happen. He is goin to Hainan.

Get a PCR test before flight, quick(FREE) test at airportbon arrival. Dont scare tourists with ur stupid HOTELOSPITALS. Just put them in a designated wing for couple of days. And if no symptoms then just let them free. And thats it. Then Maybe a millions. 

And for now, with speed like this(houndred jews and few expats a day) u will gain hopefully 200.000 in Phuket. And maybe 400.000 for BKK(if u open it). These are ur numbers.
