the green light Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 something does not sound right. 50 million vaccinated with first dosage does not offer full protection until you get the second dosage. How can anybody consider safe with just one dosage of the vaccine? even to vaccinate 50 million first dosage of Thais by October, you need to inject 450k people per day . assuming and assuming there is a constant supply of vaccine. Comparing to other countries having an unlimited supply of vaccines. the number has been around 150k per day.- you are looking at a 333 days to inject 50million one dosage. and another 333 days for the 2nd dosage. unless, nobody will be bother go and get the 2nd shot. My mathematic estimation look like it will take1-2 years to fully vaccinate 50 million people. and I hope that they can do better but 120 days is totally optimistic the 2nd question is : are fully vaccinated tourist considered safe to enter Thailand.? so why is the major concern with ?

newnative Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Note the caveat in that quoted positive numbers poll on reopening: '...after at least 50 million Thais have received their first vaccine dose...'. How are we doing so far? Meanwhile, has the PM been doing his 'utmost' to secure vaccines now, not next year, and from everywhere and not just China? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is already well understood that coronaviruses do not transmit outside, and the salt air, breezes and sunlight should be enjoyed without constraint. If I was looking for a place to holiday, and saw that sign, that would be enough for me to cancel any plans to come to the Land of Masks. Oh, behave yourself. Tom & Linda from the UK had an absolutely smashing time in Phuket ! Wearing a mask on the beach was no hassle at all.

Premature opening before vaccination could be a disaster and delay opening until well into next year. At least it is now accepted that many unregistered Thai's previously employed in tourism industry are suffering severe hardship without any help from the Government Sorry, you need to explain me what fully vaccinated and safe tourists has anything to do with the mass vaccination of Thai citizen. Us has been vaccinated and we can move around between unvaccinated people. We do not seem to get the virus nor do we infect others. PFizer and Moderna are 90% efficient. so why fully vaccinated people need quarantine.? they are safe and will not infect others. mass vaccination is for the safety of the Thai people and not the safe tourists .

Moti24 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) “We do the job with a clear target,” he said, as he predicted that there may be some disruptions, such as delayed vaccine deliveries, the possible emergence of new variants or other factors. Meanwhile, 91.4% of respondents to an opinion poll, conducted by Super Poll, said they agree with the government’s plan to reopen Thailand, in parallel with proper disease controls, after at least 50 million Thais have received their first vaccine dose. The target was clear some time ago. Unfortunately, the initial reaction to procure vaccine is responsible for the current situation. A recent report from The UK detailed the cost in GBP of procuring vaccines per dose: Moderna - 28 Pfizer - 15 Astrazeneca - 3 So far, more than 42 million people have had a first vaccine dose - about 80% of the adult population - and over 30 million have had a second. Vaccines currently available here in Thailand are Sinovac, Sinopharm and Astrazeneca; I'll leave you to make-up your own minds.

PEE TEE Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The promise of Foreigners getting free vaccine back in June 7th was a lie now its all gone very quite with at least 3 apps to register all as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. with Thailand opening up in sure all those that have no protection will be at risk . yet they ask for all to help. yeah right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL well and good for larger cities and tourist area down here in more rural area even the Locals are confused about how to get vaccination, anyway being registered isn't the same as being vaccinated as the PM is still talking about delays in delivering vaccine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant comparison..... Surgical facemasks are effective at reducing particles of 0.1 microns >99%. Comparing normal breathing of air at negligible pressure drop to water being delivered at about 20-30 psi is foolish. They don't wear them in operating theaters for a laugh!

ICELANDMAN Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The PM has finally understood that closing the country when Covid has settled everywhere has become counterproductive for the economy, therefore reopening everything is the most logical solution in order that the depression does not reach a much more serious crisis. The problem is now reversed since the western countries where the virus is decreasing a lot will not want to import the covid from Thailand and it is likely that they will now impose the two weeks to return. So as always Thailand will miss the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
