Popular Post webfact Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 Picture: Daily News Top virologist Dr Yong Poovorawan of Chulalongkorn University went on his personal Facebook page to expound his views on the pandemic in Thailand. He said that the first wave was the Chinese version of the virus. Testing revealed not much quantity of virus. Consequently it was relatively easily contained in Thailand. In December came what he called the "G" strain that came from migrants from neighboring countries. There was more quantity but it could still be contained. Now since the end of march Thailand was dealing with the UK variant and that was an entirely different kettle of fish. Huge numbers of the virus were present in throat swabs and it was spreading fast and easily in places like families. This was not under control in Thailand. He stressed that the virus could not be eradicated, reported Daily News. The best that could be achieved was herd immunity through vaccination. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-29 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Susco Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 Seems there are others that share his opinion Moderna Warns New Waves of Covid-19 Are Coming https://www.barrons.com/articles/at-modernas-science-day-focus-is-on-covid-variants-51622204258?siteid=yhoof2 “As the virus spreads, it is rapidly mutating,” the company’s chief scientific officer, Melissa Moore, said on the call. “Some of these new viral strains appear to be even more transmissible than the original strain… We already know that some of these new strains are less susceptible to neutralization by our current vaccine.” The company said that it tests new variants in the lab against its vaccines, and is “constantly” making and testing new versions of its vaccine. But it warned that the process is not instantaneous, and that the company’s agility is limited by the complexity of the work." 8 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virt Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 There are new vaccines under development where they hope it will give life long protection for Corona , so hopefully they manage to do the trick. Bought stocks just in case, cause that will be a game changer if they manage to give life long protection. Meanwhile it's going to be a bumpy ride. New variant from Vietnam seems to spread through air a lot faster. Not good. As for vaccines I got 1st shot of Pfizer 5 days ago, but still no antibodies detected in todays test, so I hope I'm not one of the few that can't develop proper antibodies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bars were still open you could visit one of the bar "pretties" After a few visits with one or more of them, you certainly would be developing some antibodies but not necessarily Covid specific. 1 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialemco Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Don't have to be an expert virlolgist to know that vaccines should create herd immunity but where are these vaccines and how long will it take to vaccinate population. Meanwhile there is high risk of further more infectious mutations offering with such high infection rates especially in prison population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandor Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 OP...there is only one strain so far...everything else referred to is a 'variant'...just wish they would get it right...you're giving people the impression there is more than one Sars-CoVi-2 virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this doctor may want to avoid China for a while or he may find himself in a re-education camp or prison cell for daring to mention the 'China' variant. We all know China is perfect and never does anything wrong. Their leader is their God. Just read the CCP controlled media reports. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
