webfact Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Vast majority of Thais pleased with handling of pandemic: Poll Thaivisa File photo A poll conducted in Thailand last week asked about the general level of the Thais' happiness. The results showed that Thais are mostly happy again after the second wave of the pandemic. Though they almost universally agreed that politicians should stay out of the vaccine rollout and leave it up to health care professionals they had some encouraging news for the Thai leaders. The Super Poll said that 82.5% of respondents thought that PM Prayut Chan-ocha and DPM and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul had made them happier with their handling of the second wave of the pandemic in Samut Sakhon, Rayong and elsewhere. Well over 50% wanted to see domestic tourism opened up now and 90.3 % wanted to see the Songkran celebration go ahead. The message was clear if the poll can be believed - Thailand, the land of smiles, was starting to smile again. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-15 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thailand could have predictably prevented a second wave if it had instituted continuous testing in high risk business areas, ie., employing migrant workers, where there is a high flux of suppliers-distributors in and out of the area with public destinations and outdoor markets/prisons having little to no covid infection precautions. Instead it focused on its mandatory quarantines and police roundups of people found incudentally to be infected. It admitted also (I believe) that it was lax with border control with regard to illegal entry by infected migrant workers. So yes pleased with Thailand's containment of the 1st wave, bit not the 2nd wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I'm not in the US/USA! Remember... the Testing, Testing, Testing mantra around April last year? I live in Thailand and recently came back to the states for business. No one is dying here. Let me suggest the reason it appears so bad, is testing. Thailand did not test in any large way until recently. On the contrary, America has testing centers everywhere, with easy access. It's a simple point I am making here. There is no true pandemic. Most rational people can understand that if you increase testing, you will increase "cases'. Most of what you see on the Telescreen is a bunch of contrived... use your favorite adjectives to complete that sentence.
