If that is the case that is considerable protection but far from perfect. The numbers are hard to grasp at this point for me at least. I would love the opportunity to get vaccinated with Sinovac but that is just me. Don't really see the downside? I'll take it for free as I want to travel next month, then maybe top up with another. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fondue zoo Posted June 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's not just about the first jab, they need to be planning for the rolling 12 week (AstraZeneca) or 5 week (Sinovac) second jab at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Guderian Posted June 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2021 The government and doctors are making themselves look ever-more silly with these silly claims. The UK, with a similar population to Thailand, has in six months managed to give at least one shot to 40 million people - 75% of the adult population - and 27 million have received a second shot so are fully protected (half the adult population). It's still dishing out vaccines at close on half a million per day. In other words, where the UK is now is more or less where the Thai government wants to be by October 1st - a mere four months away. To suggest that Thailand can perform significantly better than one of the richest and best-organised countries on the planet simply beggars belief and, of course, as the days roll by every announcement confirms that they are living in a vaccine La La Land. Since it's obvious that they will be nowhere near their proclaimed vaccination target by October 1st, the big question is what will they do: delay the reopening to vaccinated foreign tourists by three or more months, or simply go ahead anyway and accept that a lot of local people are likely to fall seriously ill and/or die a highly unpleasant death (it's essentially a very slow form of strangulation)? The coming months are going to be interesting, but remember that it was an old Chinese curse to hope that people would live in interesting times, lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldview Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Obviously, this is not a surprise to anyone who lives in Thailand, or follows this newsletter - the government's ineptness when it comes to vaccine distribution is pathetic - if not criminal - In an effort to 'protect' SP they have delayed the sourcing of other vaccines and lied about the real situation - Thailand's tourism and industry recovery will only come when they get everyone vaccinated - prioritizing tourist 'hot spots' will not help - and, it will not happen by only relying on SP and the limited importation of Sinvac - once again the people suffer while the government obfuscates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they are starting to vaccinate foreigners already. I know of a few that have had theirs. (I know a couple that have had J&J through their embassy) I received an email last night asking me to go to the office on Wednesday for a vaccination. That came completely out of the blue. No idea what vaccine they will offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, In India the numbers are 20x underreported hence Thailand's death rate multiplied by my best guess of 100 almost equals the great ole USA. If you have any doubts, look at Peru's admission. Peru is located on a very near continent and the skin pigment of the population is similar. It is obvious that Thailand is suffering horrendously and people don't go to all the empty hospitals because they die before getting there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which has little to do with shots - masks, isolation and Thai wai appear to be much more important for the lower cases and deaths here. But to survive Thailand as well as the world needs to get back to business - and that will require shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokBoyJohnny Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I believe here's why some BMs are getting the 1st Jan 1970 date (hope that's as clear as the whole registration process) : why its always 1st jan 1970 , Because - '1st January 1970' usually called as "epoch date" is the date when the time started for Unix computers, and that timestamp is marked as '0'. Any time since that date is calculated based on the number of seconds elapsed. In simpler words... the timestamp of any date will be difference in seconds between that date and '1st January 1970' The time stamp is just a integer which started from number '0' on 'Midnight 1st January 1970' and goes on incrementing by '1' as each second pass For conversion of UNIX timestamps to readable dates PHP and other open source languages provides built in functions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
