Can someone explain to me where the time travel portal is so I can go back in time to when I was only 6 years old and get vaccinated for a Virus that had not even been created by certain individuals or mutated from other Corona's.....just saying, and asking for a friend.

 

Your information is registered in the system, but you do not have an appointment. Appointments look like the screenshot below.

 

At the minute the system checks if you are over 60 or if you confirm whether you have any of the listed illnesses. If you do, it will take you to the booking screen.

 

It's only my guess, but when the over 60s and vulnerable are vaccinated they will probably change the criteria to let under 60s book.

Why do we need to know prison cases separately, they all have covid so what difference does it make?

Prison reporting seems to be done daily now instead of a massive numbers dump.  Must have been a shock to the system when they reported the mass a few weeks back that skyrocketed numbers.

 

And it has been reported that 120 of the 143 Prisons Nationally are clear of Covid.

A bit of Smoke and Mirrors going on me thinks, to keep the overall numbers down.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The top four provinces have seen increased infections from yesterday:

 

Of the 2,296 local cases (excluding the cases in prisons and imported cases), the highest numbers by province were 943 in Bangkok followed by 321 in Samut Prakan, 265 in Phetchaburi, 106 in Trang, 92 in Samut Sakhon and 86 in Nonthaburi.

Chances are restriction being lifted or eased up by next week are almost zero, because Pattaya is only 100 km from BKK and numbers still holding and climbing in BKK.

 

Bars would be the last places to open and that would only happen when numbers drop to single digits.

 

I believe it was BKK who tried to lift some restrictions last week and was over ruled by Central government, so do not hold your breath.

If you referring to me personally, i have not been to a bar for about 5 years and could not care less if open or not, but from business point of you, if bars open in Pattaya, girls come back and if girls comeback they rent rooms and buy food, so businesses can survive.

Given the spread witnessed elsewhere I'm surprised its only 6%

[anchadian]

 

 

They originally promised just B3,000 for 2 doses and insurance - are the suppliers asking a higher price, or are the hospitals keen to make a higher margin?

I think they are only reporting those that need a hospital - the rest are already in quarantine so why bother testing them

 

same as they do with factories - turn them into quarantine centers and stop testing - why bother testing it will only increase the numbers

I don't know about anywhere else but in Hua Hin they're announcing new cases in the factories that have had outbreaks, every day.

Ratchaburi noodle factory closed after 28 workers found with COVID-19

An instant noodle factory, in Ban Pong district of Thailand’s Ratchaburi province, has been ordered to close for 14 days from today (Monday), after 28 workers tested positive for COVID-19 and another 300 have been placed in quarantine in the factory’s compound.

 

Employees in other departments of the Thai President Foods PCL, producer of the Mama brand of instant noodles, have been told to self-isolate at home for 14 days. Health officials will monitor them and provide advice on how to prevent the spread of the disease.

 

The communicable disease committee of the province is authorized to extend the factory closure if infections there are not contained within 14 days.

This is a virus that srpeads rapidly and easily. There are clusters and new clusters and yet more new clusters but the numbers are virtually the same everyday. Makes me wonder.

Were partially locked down, it doesn't spread nearly as easily in those circumstances. 

 

What matters a lot is the relative numbers. What would truly make me wonder, is that after 15 months into the pandemic, they would only now start to cover up the death numbers. Similarly, only now people would avoid testing if they thought they were infected. Does it make sense to you, to suppose reporting of deaths was more accurate two months ago?

Yes and the UK did surge testing to get that estimate. Unfortunately that just does not happen here so the true number is unknown.

but the current dine in is only 25% restaurant capacity, so would not call it open as normal.

To me this is heavy restrictions, but could get more heavy. Point was it is not breezy and open.

BKK may feel different but towns like Pattaya are empty, locals leaving because no work and as they leave, even somtam sellers close doors.

 

Drive around town after midnight and its a ghost town in full darkness.

People get their take away food and sit around at home and eat together anyway so not much different.

This might be incorrect and it's interesting why. The high numbers I've been told come from BKK as there is no room in the field hosptitals. Not sure why these postives aren't recorded as BKK numbers.
