Popular Post xylophone Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 An interesting article from the NZ Herald on a new type of vaccine trial here in Thailand, and it could/will be made here!! A new coronavirus vaccine, NVD-HXP-S, uses a new molecular design that is widely expected to create more potent antibodies than the current generation of vaccines, while also being cheaper and easier to make. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/health/hexapro-mclellan-vaccine.html?campaign_id=154&emc=edit_cb_20210405&instance_id=28889&nl=coronavirus-briefing®i_id=129299451&segment_id=54935&te=1&user_id=8daa4eaa59751b5e2b0a87a11432c6e3 4 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 Only 250 cases, so why the panic? Surely, there will be a similar number every day for years to come (and probably have been for ages). If most people are asymptomatic or just have mild symptoms, the hospitals should be able to cope. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a look at the local trendline of domestic case numbers reported during the past week. [The daily domestic case tallies exclude those cases involving quarantined arrivals.] It's not the kind of CV trendline you want to be seeing, especially heading into the Song Kran holidays. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/300560898228908 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to take off your tunnel vision glasses and see the big picture. The problem isn't the asymptomatic and mild cases. being able to cope. The real problem is the older people, those with underlying health conditions and those with weak immune systems who will not be able to cope or maybe not survive. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think about the potential lockdowns, actions and closures this could possibly cause this government to take and wipe out their road map to reopening for tourism. That's the way I am looking at it. Edited April 6, 2021 by ThailandRyan 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they have never tested further than their wanting to. I believe they have not wanted to face the truth. Does everyone need to be hospitalized, no they don't. Get the vaccines moving and inoculate the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 The Thai's main defence against the virus is their effective but highly labour-intensive manual track-and-trace system. This can, however, only deal with a limited number of daily cases. The detail they've given on many occasions shows that they often have to trace between 50 and 200 contacts for each individual. This is feasible for numbers of cases in the hundreds, especially if they're mostly concentrated in one place, as was the case with the Samut Sakhon outbreak a few months ago. It's not hard to see, though, that once numbers start exceeding a thousand the number of contacts to be traced each day simply becomes impossible to manage, and that would either mean giving up and letting the virus do its worst, or else an extremely strict national lockdown with curfew and travel bans. They should really impose a travel ban now, before workers in Bangkok leave for their homes around the country, or they may face far higher daily totals after Songkran, find that the track-and trace system has been overwhelmed, and then have to lock down the entire country very hard. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you clicked on the link regarding the "a new molecular design" you might learn something to your advantage, because there are some very exciting advances being made, and tests are currently being conducted in Thailand, which could result in a much more powerful/stronger vaccine which is far easier and cheaper to produce than current methods.

Dialemco Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Vaccines are going to control the viras. It is essential to expedite vaccination programme for entire country before opening up for International/domestic tourism . Probably more cases will arise now in Phuket, Samui and other tourist hot spots over the coming Songkran holidays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
