dinsdale Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said: Just to be clear following the new Guidance from WHO Thailand is currently dominated with over 90% of its infections from the Alpha strain. They have a cluster of the more dangerous Beta strain in the 9 sealed off villages in Tak Bai district and they also have a smidgen of Delta strain in Udon Thani and Bangkok. But what is the original patent from China called? https://www.who.int/en/activities/tracking-SARS-CoV-2-variants/ It's an interesting point. Maybe the WHO wants everyone to forget where it came from and how they bent over and took it and look what happened. These people are responsible for the whole S=====t show we're in. I do understand that idiots in charge have excacerbated the pandemic but it surely was let out by the CCP and the WHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatOilWorker Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 3 hours ago, Fex Bluse said: Thailand is BARELY testing, so all the stats are fundamentally suspect. Thailand records tests (including retesting the same subjects), rather than the number of people being tested. I was able to find some data from https://service.dmsc.moph.go.th/labscovid19/indexen.php If testing data are available for the months prior to the current outbreak, say January-March this year, then that can be used as a base line of how many tests are used in ASQ, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Excel said: Well that's odd. All my pals said the same thing without exception which differs from yours. 1 test on arrivals day, another test after 5 days and a third and final test 1 day before release. Now why did you only have two in a 14 day quarantine ? Do you think it has something to do with which hotel and hospital has the arrangement ? If not then where is the uniformity of testing requirements ? Perhaps its changed as these 11 came in betweenn Sept and Nov last year, all stayed in BKK. I would not be surprised however if the ASQ charges remained the same yet the testing protocols become more relaxed in order to increase their margins further. Your thoughts on these disparities ? It's changed. Back in March, only 2 tests and access to outdoor area for 45-60 mins per day after day 7 and negative test. Also cleaned room 3 times. I was not vaxed. Buddy of mine just got out today And was fully vaxed (Moderna) on arrival and he had 3 tests...zero room cleanings...and no outdoor area access. Much stricter now even for those fully vaxed. For a very short period of time, fully vaxed only had to do 8 or 11 nights...not 15. Edited June 1, 2021 by Skeptic7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Vaccinated healthcare worker in Nonthaburi catches Covid-19 A healthcare worker working on the frontlines in Nonthaburi contracted Covid-19 despite having received two doses of the vaccine, local media reported on Tuesday. He was receiving treatment but his symptoms were not serious. The worker was inspecting the cluster at Sino Thai, a construction-worker camp in Suan Yai Subdistrict, before testing positive. Local media confirmed the new infection on Tuesday after visiting the Public Health Office in Sai Noi District in the province. Prasop Sri-Intarasut, a public health academic at the office confirmed to reporters that the healthcare worker-turned-patient is now being treated at a local hospital, while staff who had worked closely with him had tested negative. All the staff members who came in close contact with the worker are now on a 14-day quarantine. https://www.thaienquirer.com/28113/vaccinated-healthcare-worker-in-nonthaburi-catches-covid-19/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 1 hour ago, anchadian said: Thailand’s largest conglomerate, Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) says that will pursue ‘alternative vaccines’ for its healthcare workers. The CP Group is a partial owner of the company that manufactures the controversial Sinovac Vaccine So their own vaccine, that they are part owners of, is not good enough for their own people. That has to tell you something.....without saying as much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But, many here, despite having lived in the country longer than 90 days, seem unable or unwilling to consider that people lie. It's really incredible and exactly why so many people are swindled each and every day, including all the guys who give away their life savings to women of questionable repute. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been made very clear that vaccines are not to stop you catching Covid, it’s to stop you getting severe symptoms. No vaccine has 100% efficacy. So a big yawn that someone caught Covid.

But lets look at it this way, a vaccinated tourist arrives in Phuket and gets infected, and is then hospitalized for 2 weeks or so, or maybe many vaccinated tourists get infected, what kind of spin will be put on that to save the tourism industry...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
