I'm thinking the same as Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. Cases were all very low so vaccinations were not a priority as the rest of the World needed the limited supply more? Result is that countries that achieved the most success in preventing the virus are now amongst the least vaccinated countries in the World...

Impressive though it is -- and probably the right thing to do-- the issue being, when things open up, unless you are totally vaccinated, these places are going to hurt for a long time.

Popular Post Jimbone Posted May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2021 Thailand was not proactive in assessing the extent of the virus, trying to assure everyone that is was contained. Since there was, and continues to be, no countrywide free testing, the government has no idea what the infection rate is. Better to keep your head in the sand and hope it goes away. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Srikcir Posted May 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2021 Compared to Vietnam, Thailand ranks FIRST! Overall compared to the whole of ASEAN membership, Thailand fails as the Medical Hub of ASEAN. But a first under the Prayut regime, so kudos? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's changing rapidly. The US is doing a great job with the jabs. Places are opening up. But domestic travel is going bonkers...tough time to travel there. And in the US, easy to get a jab. And then not have to worry about ending up in an ICU with a tube jammed down your throat. That's a constant concern here. Sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Numbers, numbers, numbers. True or not true. The illusion of fact, supported by data from dubious sources, increases my mistrust of the numbers flying across the screen. If it's on the internet, it must be true. ???????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
