fondue zoo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, brewsterbudgen said: And that's likely to be how it will be for many months ahead, if not years! A global pandemic like this won't just magically disappear. Until a proper and effective vaccination program is in place, we'll just have to get used to it. But in the meantime it's ridiculous to arbitrarily allow some businesses to continue but not others. And, it's essential that schools reopen soon as the damage being caused to children's education and social welfare is immeasurable. Singapore is giving thought to the future and to categorising it as an endemic problem, it's only talk at the moment but similar statements have been made by virologists in a few countries. 100% eradication may not be a viable approach.

Especially considering that many of them would be classed as being in "at risk" groups. There were certainly contact tracing efforts made involving them. A LK Metro GGB and a Soi Buakhao Bar were mentioned, along with that 'Bone' place. It really emphasizes how the nightlife could be involved.... I would usually be in 5-10 places crowded in, on a night out. I say they certainly could be involved in the spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it, you want a beer, at home on terrace or balcony is fine. You appear to have missed the point I was making about logic not applying to business closures rather the closures being focused mainly on the restriction of alcohol. Never mind.

RR2020 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 And soon they will allow virus carrying vaccinated people into Phuket to spread the virus and variants. It seems they still cannot understand that vaccinated people can catch, carry and spread the virus........reduced yes, but still can. So imagine all the variants coming into Phuket and then spreading outwards............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Pfizer (Thailand) emphasised on Wednesday that it is commencing negotiations only with government agencies on procuring Covid-19 vaccines The announcement came on the heels of news that a private company would import 20 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine into Thailand. Pfizer said it is currently discussing with the Department of Disease Control to ensure that its vaccine is available to all Thai nationals. “Pfizer would like to emphasise that the company is commencing negotiations only with government agencies on procuring Covid-19 vaccines because this is the best way to ensure the vaccine is distributed to all people in each country," the announcement read. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40001624 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would usually be in 5-10 places crowded in, on a night out. I say they certainly could be involved in the spread. So you could be in up to 10 crowded bars on a night out. Those same bars would be crowded 7 nights a week. This spread that you speak of does not seem to have spread far considering. I would normally be in less crowded places 3 or possibly 4 nights a week and never heard tell of a spread. Obviously that doesn't say it never happened but it never got people panicking and twitching. My definition of a crowded bar would be the Zero, I don't do gogos so can't say what they're get like. Pity there's none of the f in places open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you disagree, please explain why virtually everyone who dies of Covid has previously tested positive in a PCR test. You think that healthy people get a positive test, and then uniformly die in a hospital 3 weeks later? Why is it that PCR testing can identify hotspots of infection? Are those hotspots really just false positives? If someone tests positive for the virus and drowns they will be recorded as a covid death because he died of pneumonia. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Latest Thai stimulus injection expected to stem the bleeding, not boost economy The government launched its latest stimulus package on June 1 in a bid to shore up the economy and aid those impacted by Thailand’s third wave of COVID-19. Worth Bt140.4 billion, the package covers 51 million people. From July, all state-welfare cardholders will get a monthly Bt200 cash handout until the end of the year. This is the third handout scheme launched by the government since last year. The disabled and those who do not have a smartphone will also get monthly payments of Bt200. The government also extended the co-payment subsidy scheme for a third time to help low-income people with daily shopping and travel expenses. The scheme offers a subsidy of up to Bt150 per day, capped at Bt3,000 per person. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/latest-thai-stimulus-injection-expected-to-stem-the-bleeding-not-boost-economy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Everyone who dies of Covid has previously tested positive in a PCR test" is meaning what? They were admitted into hospital with obviously serious illnesses initially, tested positive for Covid and then died.? Quelle surprise.. Initially healthy people under 60yo do not die of this virus, period. Stacking up panic by creating 'cases' with a PCR-test set to above 35 cycles (as initially instructed by the CDC and Dr Fauci) is a totally false narrative. Errr.. your logic made a turn into the dumpster there. Someone is admitted into a hospital with symptoms of Covid. They test posivite for Covid. Repeatedly. Then, after a few weeks in the hospital, they die. simple common sense would tell you that they died of Covid. but, I guess you think you know more than the doctors and medical researchers, too bad you flunked science and biology in school.

rabas Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Mr Meeseeks said: Exactly. I am just as likely to get a dose of C19 at a wet market or a pharmacy as I am sitting at an outdoor bar having a beer or sitting at a restaurant eating. If I didn't know any better I would think these restrictions are being forced on us by the ultra-conservative Buddhist loonies. Not unless you spend your time hanging out at the pharmacy or wet market ogling the old women. The chance of get it is time X exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nojohndoe Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Excel said: Go back, do not pass go, do not collect £200 and read what I wrote. No wait, you didn't want to so here just for you - "behavioural professionals with the rapidly developing variants and human complacency creeping in" Recent surveys indicate that less than 62% will want to be vaccinated here for fear of the vaccine rightly or wrongly. Also with complacency many will simply not bother either. So there you have it herd immunity is an unattainable "pie in the sky". Of course mandatory vaccinations could be a tool but so could a deliberate " health genocide" by deliberately allowing the virus to run rampart in the communities that you wish did not exist. However those two extreme options would never be allowed to manifest itself in this country or would it ? Interesting that usually the results of surveys are scoffed at but on this occasion many have chosen to accept it as accurate. The reality is yet to be seen.
