The suspended Mor Phrom (Doctors Ready) COVID-19 vaccine registration application will be back online from June 24, after the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has made improvements to the system.

 

Deputy Government Spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek said people will be able to use the Mor Phrom app for vaccine reservation again or can still register with hospitals or the district health office in their area, either in person or via the online channels provided…

Fact that this wave is very much concentrated in the prisons, factories and migrant communities says a lot about the overall control, compared to most countries where Covid ends up being more widespread and hence much harder to manage

Mind blowing naivety to think this is actually true. The bizarre belief that the virus jumps from place to place while touching very little in between. Honorary citizenship right there, you are made of the right stuff.

If they tested the same as other countries then they would find the same number of cases as other countries. Don’t test, don’t find.

 

Does limited testing stop people from dying from the virus? If things were as dramatic as some predicted it would be, the number of deaths would be higher. It's pretty hard hiding large numbers of people dying...

indeed, it is very obviously limited targetted testing hence the consistent reported numbers, the UK with similar population were testing 1 million daily

[HampiK]

What I would be interested in the numbers, how many of the infected/dead had 1/2 Injections already!

I know at the moment the vaccination rate is still very low.. but as this become higher this number would be more and more interesting for seeing of how good the vaccine helps...

[Cake Monster]

Is there any chart available with the running total of Prison Inmates that are Infected.

I ask the question because I see Hundreds of new infections posted daily for the prisons, and I am wondering just how many are banged up in the 20 or so infected Prisons, as the 100 % Infection rate within those Prisons must be fairly close now.

Or, have Porkies been told on the number of Infected prisons.

How do you explain the relatively low number of deaths then? A major coverup? I will wait for your response. 

maybe you need to look at how deaths are certified in Thailand - this is not the west - a high percentage of deaths are not certified by a medical proffessional - only those in a medical facility are officially certified, in the UK every death must be certified by a doctor including cause of death

Those high levels of testing is exactly why they have so effective in planning and executing their vaccination strategy.

 

As for Thailand.....

Of the 85 known clusters in Bangkok, 62 have reported cases in the past 14 days including 20 in worker camps, 14 around markets and shopping centres, 14 at businesses and factories, 12 in residential areas, one at care homes and one at an embassy.

Oh, ok, seems to be working well with less than 2,000 dead.

And all those tests have killed 125,000+ in the UK.

Unfortunately, no daily chart available of infected prisoners and of their current location, i.e. prisons/hospital/field hospitals.

 

If I recall, we do get a breakdown every few weeks or so.

The numbers haven't exploded with this UK variant like it did in many other countries that had daily deaths in the hundreds and even thousands. 

 

Looks like the stringent measures they have enforced along with the public that has largely complied has made a huge difference and saved thousands of lives. 

 

With a bit of luck hopefully it further fizzles out and businesses on the brink will be saved also.

 

We are not out of the woods yet, but it is looking promising.

 

Yes of course. The virus behaved differently in Thailand because you know “this is thailand”

I suppose the Indian variant will just say namaste and pass Thailand by?

it actually depends on the variant and the vaccine and how many doses - very fluid right now and hard to pin down - the UK and US are studying stuff like this with some urgency (others also)

Opinion: Seven days was all it took for the government’s vaccine rollout to fail

 

On June 7, coup leader Prayut Chan-o-cha flanked by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and members of his Covid-19 management team declared that there would be no delays in the distribution of the vaccines.

 

Just over a week later, that promise has fallen flat on its face.

 

All the pomp and circumstance of the opening ceremony that Prime Minister Prayut and his entourage demanded at Bang Sue station on June 7 was for naught.

Thailand’s Public Health Ministry has issued a brief statement saying the distribution of the vaccines, including in Bangkok, is done as instructed by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).

The number of foreign tourists preparing to visit Thailand in July shrank by more than 50 per cent after the Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA) decided to hike the minimum stay requirements for the "Phuket Sandbox" starting July 1

 

Under the sandbox scheme announced earlier, fully vaccinated foreigners were exempted from quarantine, but had to spend seven days in Phuket before they could visit other provinces. However, the CESA doubled the minimum period of stay on Phuket Island to 14 days.

 

Minister of Tourism and Sports Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn revealed that over 50 per cent of 29,700 foreigners who had confirmed they would come to Phuket had cancelled their plans after the CESA revised its condition. However, the ministry would ask for a month to evaluate the outcome of the practice, both in terms of infections and the impact on local tourism.

 

If after a month's trial there were no infections, the ministry would suggest lowering the minimum stay requirement to seven days in Phuket and then extend it to other provinces.

Thai government urged to tell truth about vaccine supply levels to meet appointments

 

The Rural Doctors Society is demanding that the government, and the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), tell the truth about the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and whether there are enough to meet current vaccination appointments.

 

In a statement, issued on Saturday, the network of doctors working in Thailand’s rural hospitals, predicts chaos this week, when more vaccination appointments are expected to be postponed and many people will be disappointed.

 

The statement, posted on their official Facebook page, provided details of the mass vaccination operation, which began on June 7th. 416,847 doses administered on June 7th, 472,128 doses on June 8th, 336,674 doses on June 9th, 223,315 doses on June 10th and 308,012 doses on June 11th.

The UK vaccination program (and the US vaccination program) will save hundreds of thousands of lives...it was only possible to execute those vaccinationprograms because of the extent of the testing showing the true picture of the outbreak.

 

Right now Thailand is essentially at the start of their outbreak while the UK and US are arguably approaching the end of theirs.

 

Lets assess how the 2 countries (UK and Thailand) have fared 6 months from now both in terms of deaths and economically. I would bet my life that Thailand comes out of it a whole lot worse then the UK or the US and much of that can be blamed on lack of testing and therefore lack of understanding of the extent of the outbreak.

 

One of us will be right...only time will tell. Let’s see.

I am basing it on real figures.

You are just basing it on your misguided sense of superiority.

 

125,000 verses 1800 now. Six months you think? Delusional.

 

The sad thing about your attitude is it sounds like you would actually be pleased if an extra 120,000 Thais died of this UK variant just so you could be "proved right".

Further adverse comments from ThaiEnquirer directed at the Government.

 

Opinion: Foreigners not welcomed

 

In a day and age where the world is living in a more homogenized society, where people are now called ‘global citizens,’ my country is leading the way in trying to create segregation.

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has many times blamed ‘foreigners’ for spreading the Covid-19 virus but this time around it was his own Bhumjai Thai party that has been the root cause of the 3rd wave of the virus.

 

Anutin, despite his sharp tongue about foreigners spreading the virus, was dead quiet when it came to the spreading of the virus by his own minister and staff.
