 My advice to the rest of the oldies is don't go out if you don't need to for the next few days.

Good advice.

My advice to everyone is - get triple vaccinated. ????

I am an oldie (71 next month)

Two chronic diseases. (Lungs and kidneys.)

Triple vaccinated - had Covid, no major issues.

Mind you, I could be killed in a traffic accident tomorrow. Vaccination will not help with that one.  ????

System stuffed up - posted my comment twice.

But staying home - as suggested by @delgarcon - might also protect that...

It was the Full Moon Party earlier this week. Give it a few more days for another big jump. At least this seems to be the milder variant.

Yet the milder variant is hospitalizing more once again and many more are on ventilators.  Breakthrough cases are one of the issues that allow the cases and those infected to actually seem for it to be more mild, yet those unvaxxed still are getting hit hard.

 

Here is some info from another OP for you to digest.

Only a few months back, people were saying it can't happen here....they seemed to think they were somehow immune.

There never seems to be much day to day variation. Samui 295, 274, 297, 294, 230. Seems too consistent.

Are they testing limited numbers?

From the limited information that we can see, the majority of these seem to be ATK tests. ie self testing and then registering with the hospital.

I would think that these are mostly Thais claiming the free medicines and insurance.

Most of the foreigners that I know, including myself, who have found to be positive have not bothered to report the result. (If I had reported it, I would have received 50,000 THB from the insurance company.)

The only exception was a friend who was going to Australia. She needed a 'fit to fly' certificate and so had to register as positive. She was told not to go to the hospital and to quarantine at home (mild symptoms). Her husband collected the certificate for her.

So real numbers much higher?

I haven't seen any postings about daily new Covid-cases since April 5th and April 7th from my two usual Thai-sources, perhaps it's not that interesting to share any more.
