BANGKOK, April 8 (TNA) – The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) came up with new measures to handle the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases while the source of the British variant of COVID-19 in Thailand remained unknown.

 

CCSA spokesman Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin said that as more COVID-19 patients were being admitted to public and private hospitals, CCSA resolved that hospitals would increase their beds, patients without or with mild symptoms would receive treatment at alternative state quarantine facilities and field hospitals would be set up nationwide.

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration would have field hospitals as ordered by the prime minister and authorities in other provinces would do the same, Dr Taweesilp said.

China is the source.

 

The virus mutates in a random yet predictable way where all outcomes are equally likely and inevitable given enough generations of transmission.

Britain. Hope that helps. ????

How does that work?

"British variant" ? Interesting that the Thai media has never, ever before mentioned the origins of coronavirus (China) in fact if you ask a Thai in the street where it came originally throughout this pandemic a vast majority of them haven't a clue.

 

Finally looks like Thailand has found what it has wanted all along which is a western country to point the finger at...

 

Before that there was no anti western narrative for them to work with now they got it watch them milk this to death.

 

Never forget what we saw at the beginning of all this here are a couple of screenshots from the beginning of covid back in feb / march 2020 taken from Thaivisa.

There are only so many ways it can randomly alter itself naturally.

 

Think of it as being like asking a million people for a random number between 1 and 1000 - there will of course be many many duplicates - the same thing happening randomly time after time. Very random, also very predictable.

In all probability it was probably just in someone and mutated in the same way that the 'british' variant did and now it's the same. 

 

Hopefully now Thailand will enter the real world and get serious with it's testing, rather than ordering more military hardware

British variant 

 

very dangerous talk 

 

as you say lets all remind ourselves were it came from .............China

 

as for British variant - the truth is that it was the British that discovered this so called variant because they have the best LABS in the world to do so, to label it "British" is a dangerous president, it is not British - it is not from the UK - it is from ####### China

Just pull your finger out, & start vaccinations.

Just in case anyone is in any doubt about where this narrative is coming from:

 

"MCOT is also working with the giant Chinese media company, China International Broadcasting"

 

"Also Sanook is owned by Tencent which is also Chinese media"

 

 

It's pretty obvious where this is going if you ask me...

Let's get one thing straight, it is not a "British Variant", it is true this variant was first detected in Britain, but it has also been found in many other countries ....

It's predictable in it's randomness?

Does anyone have a link to biochemical evidence of the isolation of COVID 19 ?

 

I've checked the usual scientific publications.....nothing. 

 

 

 

 

 

source is British, mo%$#@s

the name doesn't give it away?

 

The blame game is underway, with China giving the Thais instructions as to what to say and when to say it.

Nope... because it's a variant ‘identified’ in the UK which does not mean it evolved in the UK (it could have though, so I’m not suggesting it didn't).

 

Equally so this very same variant B117 could have undergone parallel antigenic drift from within Thailand or anywhere else.

Nationalistic talk.. fact it was first discovered in Britain. Like UK rules you like to deny it he blames France. 

 

But just like China the Brits did not mutate / make this virus on purpose it happens. It just shows that things are beyond control of humans. 

 

Lets us all remind that a virus knows no borders and can start anywhere. 

 

Its fun how the nationalistic China hating group of Brits does anything to wiggle out of the fact that it mutated in the UK. Because if that is not the UK's fault (nobody with half a brain would blame the UK for it) then they will have a harder time pointing a finger at China. Because if you can't blame one country you can't blame the  other. You cant say because of unsanitary practices in the UK the virus mutated. But at the same hand they like to do that with China.

 

Talk about double standards.

Nobody cares how the variants are named. The question is how they end up here, as far as I know there wasn't any report of transmission from people flying in from overseas. I was in ASQ in January and it was very strict. 

My bet is on the land borders, and it won't be long until all variants end up here. Does anyone believe that the Indian-Bangladesh, Bangladesh-Myanmar, Myanmar-Thai borders are 100% under control?

I certainly don't care but some people seem to be ticked off by it. Though I understand if one is called the Uk variant then they should call the original the China variant. It should be the same. But naming one to a location and not the other.. That is wrong. But most experts don't put blame to where something originates. That is something for nationalist ect.

 

I made the post too yesterday that it was probably the land borders. After that i read that a virologist in Thailand said the same. Also thought it came by land.

The government this morning is reposting info from noted Thai virologist Dr. Poovorawan saying the UK strain found in Thailand probably came from Cambodia where there also has been an outbreak.

 

The government post in translation:

"NP. Yongphu Worawan posted via Facebook to identify the outbreak of COVID-19, the goldlife cluster is an English breed. The outbreak in Thailand should be from Cambodia.

Covid-19 English species has started spreading in Cambodia since 20 July. 64 Until now, around 3,000 people have been infected, more than 20 people have died, including the COVID-19 genetic decoding. The species is recorded as evidence.

Covid-19, the Goldlor cluster has been genetically decoded by the Cambodia Clinic Specialist Center. Chulalongkorn University found the same species as the Cambodia epidemic.

FYI The Mutant variation is called the UK Variant because it was first discovered in the UK.

It was discovered by Scientist who were checking on samples supplied from around the Globe

Why was it discovered in the UK ? Because the UK has the ability and the skills to detect all these Mutations.

Mutations are definitely not predictable and neither is their spread.

Nonsense there are billions of potential mutations and they will be selected for depending on how well they replicate in the host.

In the current COVID situation, FB and Twitter are the two main channels thru which the Thai government and its various involved agencies have been communicating with the public, not to mention the various news agencies.

 

That's a whole different type of information from the private party wildhair conspiracy theory and misinformation stuff that social media is often criticized for.

 

 

Updated report:

 

 

Local 'experts' (as distinct from politicians) are calling the UK variant Thailand's 'third wave'.

 

Canada disagrees. Experts there are calling B117 a 'new pandemic' and far worse than anything that came before.

 

Stay home, please...

Being done at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge. CNN had a nice piece about it and how it was genomic testing on an industrial scale. Normally used for cancer research in the old days.
