As I said the massive travel that has been encouraged is a mistake,

Let the bars stay open until midnight but STAY IN YOUR AREA

& do not allow inward travel into the red zone AT ALL

International tourists by October ??????? Without the above it is a pipe dream.

Thailand needs 50 million doses of vaccine NOW

I don't know but the following quote from the link below tends to disagree with the perception of a significant difference between Sao Paulo and Thailand.Next Please.

 

UV index

January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in São Paulo. A UV Index reading of 11, and higher, represents an excessive health risk from unsafe exposure to the UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 12 translate into the following recommendations:
Practice all essential precautions. Protection against sun damage is crucial. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Tightly woven, loose-fitting clothes provide additional protection from the Sun. Prolonged stay under the direct sun should be avoided as much as possible, especially if a person burns easily. Sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should always be used.

There is a comparison between Bangkok , Sao Paulo and Thailand.  They are all densely populated large cities with many high rise buildings that give shade and protection from the sun but do not affect the cv19 which thrives in the shade or cooler temperatures . Hence the large cv19 cases . 

 But the fact is that respiratory viruses are generally seasonal, probably as viruses that transmit on water droplets do so less well if the droplet dries up faster, and temperature, humidity, and UV may be part of the lull in transmission we are now seeing. The flip side, alas, is that the opposite will be true in the autumn and beyond .      Touche

Now Phuket has popped a case from an entertainment venue of it's own.  Where are the the folks who say it is no big deal.  Standing buy for provincial lockdowns coming to a province near you.

Pandemic in Thailand.

95 people died in one year ("WITH" covid, not "for" covid), 0,00014 %

Average death rate = 0

Also the virus is said to be one twentieth the size of a cigarette particle, if that's the case nobody actually knows what the virus is actually doing outside of the body and  everybody is just guessing and putting forth theories and guesses and that includes the "experts".People are making large and impactful decisions based on guesses and then trying to force others into adhering to their decisions that are based on guesses and the have the audacity to say follow the guesses science.

And your point is what?  Covid is harmless? Cases bo medical problems to the human body or system?  What exactly are you trying to say with this garbage of a graph from an unidentified source?

'Suntan' UV from the sky can't kill coronavirus.  You need much deeper UVC, which kills your skin, blinds you, and damages DNA causing cancer. See  here and here

 

While many variables affect viruses, pandemics like the Spanish flu and SARS-2 don't follow ordinary seasonal rules. Third waves are roaring in many locations in springtime! Why? An animal virus newly adapted to humans is continuing to mutate.

 

The big difference between Brazil and Bangkok is viral strain. Until late December, Thailand and most of Asia had only dealt with the mildest of all strains, the original D614 from China. Brazil has the most dangerous strains thus far.

Dear Sir, this is NOT an undefined source. These are the WELL KNOWN OFFICIAL statistics.

Go to Google. Type "Covid-19 Thailand" (you can chose any country you want) and there you are. OFFICIAL, updated every day. 

Now you know it. ????

 

Said that, what are you trying to say, Sir? That knowing the real numbers is garbage?

No, it isn't garbage, Sir. Garbage is not reading the official reports, the official statistics, the real data, which means to be aware of the real situation vs the narratives. Things that you do not seem to do, since you aren't even aware of real numbers in Thailand.

Moreover, after the reading of the real data, you can get a  better understanding of covid 19, that is  deadly for people over 70 with 2 or 3 pathologies, while is harmless for people less than 50. Do not believe it? Do your research on OFFICIAL REPORTS (only). I don't have to be here your first source of information.

Here is: you take it or leave it. Politely thank you.

Not taking any sides here but just facts such as the lack of daily reporting on covid stats ( as is done by many western countries ) by the Thai government and searching for reliable stats is not easy .   

I believe that the Thai climate and strong sun/ ultraviolet rays are Thailand's saviour .

Not really, Thailand is just hidding the real result since it is much higher. I wonder how Thailand could suddenly have an increased pneumonia last spring by 600% and hardly any covid-19 cases?
