PHUKET: The mass-vaccination campaign in Phuket resumed across the island yesterday (May 18) with officials targeting to deliver jabs to 14,000 people a day during the mass-vaccination windows in order to reach the 70% population target to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 by July 1.

 

Speaking at the Indoor Sports Stadium at Saphan Hin, Vachira Phuket Hospital Director Dr Chalermpong Sukontapol explained that 85,000 doses of Phuket’s designated installment of 200,000 doses of the Sinovac vaccine for May have already arrived, with 115,000 more disease to arrive today (May 19).

 

“The 200,000 doses of vaccine will be provided as the first injection for 200,000 people. This will be done over 10 days, from May 18 to 28. People who receive their first injection this time will get their second one from June 15,” he said.

They're going to inject 14,000/day for 10 days and that will add up to 200,000? Did I read that correctly?

 

Maybe multiplication is different in Thailand.

One only has to look at the photo included with this article to show just how ridiculous the rules are

1. Two people even husband and wife were required to wear a mask
2. Can jog on the beach but not swim
3. All pools closed

4. Restaurant dining prohibited/no alcohol when in restaurant dining resumes
5. Masks required at all times even outdoors
 

 

But this is OK

Yes, put this many people in a room, with masks even, and there must be some with COVID in this 

size of a crowd.    In Canada, there are centers like this as well, so the same idiot style of thinking

happens around the world. Convenience is not the way to go, but governments are not all that smart.

So convenience it is.
