The naming of COVID variants invites another pandemic – of racism

 

Many Thais were shocked and frustrated at international news reports identifying a “Thai variant” of COVID-19 last week. Among them was Medical Sciences Department director-general Dr. Supakit Sirilak, who said it was unfair to describe the variant as “Thai” since the country had seen only one case – and that was imported.

 

Meanwhile, the Indian government demanded that social media platforms remove all references to the “Indian variant” of COVID-19, saying the term is not scientifically accurate and damages the country’s image.

 

Such reactions have nudged many people to dig deeper into how variants are named.

Looks like they are preparing the numbers for the 7th of June, when there will be a lack of vaccines, so they can say we have reached herd immunity and don't need vaccines.

 

First step in that direction made yesterday.

I promise not to use the word "exponential" today.

There's a broken promise right there.It's an exponential drop.What we have is and exponential amount of ups and downs, you just can't escape the exponential nature of this pandemic, at least not with me around.

With only 131 death in the US, Thailand have just passed the US in daily covid mortality.  The table have really turned.

May 30 was a Sunday. The death tolls reported for Sundays are always much lower than for other days. And as someone else pointed out, Thailand hasn't yet had day that had that many deaths. More relevantly, on a per capita basis, Thailand's covid 7 day average mortality rate is still below that of the US.

Not sure what you're banging on about...US deaths are still about 500 a day (7 day average 638) and just reached 131 yesterday. Thailand's have NEVER been over double digits...never more than 50 in fact.

Per capital.......

Seems to be a pattern a new peak then a sudden drop with slow steady rise until the new peak comes along. All the while the mean average increases.

And it has been reported earlier today ( BP ) that there are more Infections in even more Chicken Process Plants across several Provinces.

If these people needed some advice about Infections in Meat Processing Plants, they only have to ask the USA.

With Staff members, Etc moving from one Plant to another, this was an obvious thing to happen, and CP should be severely reprimanded for their lax control of Staff during this Covid outbreak.

But they wont, and the only reprimand will be from the Buyers of their Products, such as China and the EU, who may choose to remove all CP products from their Supermarket Shelves

And thats a lot of Chicken product.

So ! Is it fair to assume that all CP Products other facilities for processing Pork Etc will be checked fully, as the Company do not seem able to perform the task.

Could have something to do with population disparity between the two as Thailand only has 1/5th of the number of people the US does.

Sinovac - 6 million doses arrived with only 2 million left. 3 million more ordered for June AstraZeneca - 117,000 arrived and none left. 6 million planned for June. Expected to receive 2 million. After June, 10 million doses for each month.Image

So disappointing. Starting vaccinations late, and now delayed deliveries meaning that all provinces will suffer a shortfall of supply in June. That then means the daily vaccination count in later months has to be increased to meet the governments target.
 

Although, I’m not actually sure what that target is, because several have been mentioned and when they say “vaccinated” do they mean one jab or two AND the daily run rate of vaccinations required to meet any of the targets was an impossibility.

 

just disappointing, that’s all. All the BS and chaos can be ignored if vaccinations tick along nicely, but it seems chaos reigns in that space also.

Singapore announced yesterday that they were suspending purchases from the Sariburi plant that had infections. They stressed the risk was minimal anyway, but aren’t importing from that plant at the moment as an extra precaution. On CNA web site yesterday

To be fair, the USA had an imbecile in charge of its Covid response for quite some time. Made it tough for them.

Actually, not so much imbecilic as malignant.

Today is a good example why I don’t use prison infections numbers when looking at the community infection numbers. 
 

Prison numbers are often held back and then released as part of a big dump that distorts the published numbers. My point of looking at the published numbers is to determine the future path of the epidemic, but trying to do the analysis using the prison numbers is impossible.

 

I assume that 95% of the 300,000 prisons will eventually be found to be infected, maybe even after this wave has been eliminated.

I have to say that yesterday, the streets were packed. Queues everywhere. Streets with fruit and food  vendors were packed and massage shops were getting ready to reopen today.

Not so fast, cowboy!!! ????

 

"The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration made a last minute intervention on Monday to halt an order by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration from opening parks, massage parlors and other at-risk businesses.

 

It is the latest public spat between the feuding government organizations that has drawn into question the government’s Covid-19 response and has caused embarrassment for officials in the Ministry of Public Health and the CCSA."
