DCD says COVID-19 infection rise will ease in a month if prevention is strictly enforced

[Sharp]

Apparently the common cold will do it

Those of you who are confused as to why Thailand has yet to begin vaccination should spend 10 minutes on Google. The answer is easy to find.

 

 I suggest you start by checking out the Nikkei Asian Review

Was going to say adequate free testing would be top of that % reduction list, but hey, that would just be daft farang supposition I guess.

85% no testing or vaccine needed then !!!!!!

Get these vaccines sorted instead of closing everything

Herd immunity will kick in before the vaccines start making much difference. Then of course the credit will go to the vaccines. It's been shown to happen numerous times in the past and I doubt this time will be any different.

CDC, DDC, MBC, ABC, ZQR,  how many departments are there?  I bet these guys haven't missed a meal, paycheck and certainly most likely all getting their testing, hospitals, and vaccine for free!  Can anyone just get up on the podium and make an predictions? if so, tomorrow if everyone go to the Temple and pray real hard the Virus will be gone and we will be back to normal. ????

Quick note: Vaccinating the population ISN'T an option. The supplies or delivery infrastructure simply isn't there.

You sure about that?

 "In most respects, Thailand has great advantages, including robust logistics. DKSH Thailand, a company offering "market expansion services," has been selected to transport vaccines in a "brilliant box" that keeps contents at the correct temperature even during shipment to hospitals and clinics in remote areas.

Thailand's overall health care system ranked sixth in a 2019 survey by U.S. magazine CEOWORLD, beating European countries such as France."

In my condo it’s always the foreigners who aren’t wearing a mask. In the streets around my area it’s the same. Just follow the rules <deleted>.

More racist comments.... thats helpful. 

 

Would that be young Korean men who work out (in the 25 to 28 y.o. range) or are you just stabbing out at Jewish Caucasians who are from the middle east?

Are Koreans and Jewish Caucasians the same race? Maybe you could plausibly attribute fairynuff's comments to some variety of xenophobia but racism?

Where do you live?  Where I live here in Chiang Mai the no-mask wearers and those wearing a mask, but down around their chins, are 100% Thai.  All of the Farangs I see are wearing masks and wearing them properly.

In Bangkok

"No crowds for any reason" but a Festival at our local temple in the village can still go ahead for 8 days from 10th to 18th April. Oh, and then there will be live music each night!

Be interesting to see how/if the figures escalate in the Bang Saphan District. 

Update. The evening bands have now been cancelled through very poor attendance. Wonder why?? 

[Boedog]

The only thing strictly enforced in Thailand is the handing over of brown envelopes, every single day more stupid statements they are comical

And another update. The festival has now been cancelled for the remaining days due to lack of people attending. And Covid has reared it's ugly head in Moo 2 Bang Saphan Noi as of yesterday.

There are numerous studies showing this, even in the CDC's papers and vaccine manufacturers studies, not vaccine researchers out with an agenda. But if you prefer BS, then that's fine. Believe what you like. I prefer to believe that a good number of scientific studies with historical data over decades provide fairly good evidence for what sometimes happens. You perhaps may choose to believe that the manufacturers and the CDC are always are transparent and give all the information out in an unbiased manner. Just to let you know... they don't. There have even been some of the leading scientists who were involved in creating some vaccines come out to reveal these sorts of things. It doesn't mean that vaccines are a farce or that they are useless. It does mean that they are not what they are promoted to be.
