Sorry to tell you, but your government used up their thought allotment for the year already in January.

Was it a high end food vendor?

[jojothai]

He is sticking to the original plan of opening up with one shot given to 70%,

and trying to give people hope when its Total lunacy.

This was to be expected. He still does not understand that the people will need 2 shots, otherwise it could be a bigger wave, and hopefully a wave goodbye.

 

I do not want to be in thailand unvaccinated when they open up like this.

Thats why i came back to uk to get vaccinated. Now Expect to get second dose soon. It will be just 5 weeks here to get both doses.

Lock down circuit breaker 2 months ago maybe can open. B.1.617.2 now here maybe not. 25-30 deaths per day. Maybe not. 2-3k infections per day. Maybe not. Empty head at the top. YES LET'S DO IT.

New variants 2 shots plus booster. The globe depending on variants and vaccine breakthrough should be covered by the end of next year according to what I have seen. There may also be prophylactics by then something I believe money should have been poured into from the very beginning.

Gone.

There is a lot happening. The big vaccine pharmas got the bulk of the money but there is a lot of research and clinical trials happening now. 

@SurelynotI really prefer that my whole post is quoted. Feel free to underline your point. Cheers @dinsdale

My wife said she had inside information from her somtam lady that you could probably order the vacine online from Lazada quicker if you were worried about the country opening up.????????????

Missed something

[chalawaan]

Oh he can open anything!

 

"Delta Force" will be licking its lips!

 

Then the Czar of U turns will have an overrun healthcare AND an economic trainwreck. to run up the flagpole and salute.

 

Delta is not your grandpas Spanish Flu, it's not even Alpha Covid. 

 

Delta gonna make grown men cry.

[spidermike007]

Any free thinking, rational individual, with no government affiliation, and an IQ of over 75, has to be skeptical of anything he says or does, at this point.

 

How can anyone have faith in him?

 

How can anyone believe anything he says? 

 

Why? How? What has he done lately to warrant that faith and belief? 

[Tich]

The first 5 words of the headline..  enough said !

[ThailandRyan]

I want to believe, but whenever I start to say I believe the good PM,  I can not get tge words out and just laugh uncontrollably

No he's not. He didn't say in 120 days from when. Maybe in 120 days from when every person in Thailand has had two jabs, in around 2023.

70% fully vaccinated. Easy peasy

with a vaccine showing 50.4% efficiency the 70% become 34-40% .....555

Yes you did use the key word starting with f. Would take all of the conscripts 100,000 each year 2 year service, the other service members in that area who don't like him or his elite buddies (probably more than 50%+), the civilian ones in uniform, and the rest of the Thai people to band together to make them run for the hills or the nearest airport. That way would work.

[digger70]

No problem it's all under control.

He can open the country up if he wants to but it might bite him in the @ss with more covid problems than he can handle.

[wensiensheng]

Talking of vaccines.

 

I originally registered with a private hospital in Udon for an AZ jab and had an appointment for 14 June. That was of course cancelled on 7th June when the vaccine shortage became apparent.

 

the hospital just called me to update me and apparently:

 

1. I can only have Sinovax because I am 63. The hospital says that it is now government policy to only provide AZ to people over 65. It wasn’t clear if that is central government or provincial government.

 

2. The private hospitals are not being provided with vaccine and I would have to go to the university in Udon to get my sinovax jab. I assume there is a vaccination centre there.

 

I’m not sure if this is countrywide policy or just Udon province.

It is unlikely that borders can be opened in 120 days. However prepared Thailand is by then, the opening of the borders is also dependent on the virus situation in guest countries. Limited bubble travel may be possible, very selectively.

He’s been hitting the noodles too hard. It’s addled his brain!

[pookondee]

It can be opened as quick as closed. 

Just with the nod of one guy.

And whats the big deal letting in negative tested tourists anyway?

 when the supposedly worst strains are already present in Thailand.

 

In actual fact, any tourists coming from places like Australia are facing more of a risk to themselves by entering Thailand, rather than the other way around.

[dirtybirty]

The only semi sensible pm they had was mr taskin. Look what happened to him. Yes he was corrupt but who isint in thailand.  The economy was pretty strong under him, and he didnt make life to hard for us pesky long stay farangs lol
