With the Delta ( Indian ) Variant of Covid starting to gain strong ground, and the South African Variant also making some ground in the South, any long Holidays such as the Songkran Holiday will spell disaster for any October opening of the Country to Tourists. But I am sure insanity will rule the Day in search of Money for the Government coffers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's at least another 6 weeks of 30 a day deaths if they all cop it without even adding any more criticals. Think it safe to say Thailand will be posting daily deaths of 25-30 for well over the next 120 days , unless something seriously changes in reporting or the vaccine roll out. Your confident it stays that low ?? Community cases (outside prisons) have gone 2k 2.5k 3k and quickly to 4k over a matter of a couple of weeks. If they dont get a grip on that fast (as they relax restrictions, allow drinking in restaurants, etc) thats going to go 5 8 10k into July.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it’s only peasants, more important to get the money rolling back into the pockets. While generally I agree with you.. Road deaths dont have the potential exponential rise.. Its very very easy to see 30 become 50 become 200.. Then its eclipsing road deaths.. Plus the vast majority of road deaths are bike riders, who are.. you know.. poor.. So who cares is the general mindset. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackleton Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The answer is to vaccinate all in Thailand first or at least 70% Before thinking of the foreign Tourist dollar???? We will find out this July with the Phuket sandbox how many tourists will actually arrive ???? Domestic tourism seems to be working okay at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best path forward is complete vaccination. That is not achievable either, given the presence of anti-vaxxers. Having said that, such people can maintain their beliefs at a cost, which may include inability to travel, or discrimination in employment.

Naturesway Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 There is only one simple way to investigate the source and the location of virus it’s in their head in their brain and that’s very contagious to make anyone dumb and silly of the entire society. Thailand is lucky to have a great location climate and nature but kinda unlucky to have the biggest collection of a bunch of idiots. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 One can only imagine the mental gymnastics going on in government house. "It is declining, let's open up. Oh, it is rising again, close down. Let's test it by opening - damn, it's going up again. People don't have the wherewithal to survive a long lockdown. Yes, we know if the first lockdown had lasted and people not broken the rules it might be over but let's not dwell on the past. Let's open, close, open, close and so on.

What does it matter what "effective and clear" measures you put in place when you are so far behind in the vaccine rollout. Focus should be on procuring covid vaccines. I was at Jomtien Beach last Sunday and it was packed with Thais piled on each other, trying to escape the heat in the shaded areas. This idea of enforcing rules to control spread of infections is neither a practical nor workable solution. IMHO, vaccinne is the only way out. Outdoors transmission is a lot less likely than indoors. Particularly by the sea since aerosols are unlikely to linger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I agree, normally he should prove that statement with more argumentation and citing sources - but you haven’t done that either, so let’s neglect that ... Maybe, you both have become somewhat of an expert during the last ~ 17 months ... instead of just consuming spoon-fed TV and reading newspapers, digging into numbers and reading original scientific studies and papers. If that’s the case, the evaluation of the available facts and evidence has led both of you to a different theory - and „expert in denial“ is just an unfair trick to win over him without having to discuss. Alas, if you would be an armchair warrior, just consuming spoon fed information from TV and (most of the) press - then „expert in denial“ is a just a useless attack of a lazy, uninformed person following the recent trends. ... two of the best popular changes in trends, followed by attacking „experts in denial“ during he last 17 months are: - masks do not help a lot / wear masks - the Wuhan lab isn’t the source of the virus, it has been proven it’s from the wet market / there is considerable evidence, there was gain of function research and the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjSilver Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The cases and death in Thailand are low. They shouldn't have any restrictions unless they have had at least 7 million people with covid-19 or around 100k death of covid-19. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly by the sea since aerosols are unlikely to linger. It's true that the beach is an unlikely place to catch Covid. The problem is getting there on any public transport and staying in airconditioned hotels, both conducive to infection. Last night Eric Feigl-Ding commented on al Jazeera on the infectiousness of the Indian variant. He cited a case of infection between people passing each other in a supermarket aisle. This was documented on video in the store. We just have to assume that a complete analysis was done to confirm this since he did not go into further details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Feigl-Ding It's really tragic that many governments in Asia did not advance order vaccines. Perhaps they didn't want to pay up front for unproven technology while they were weathering the first wave quite well. Now they are at the back of the line. Had there been more upfront demand, perhaps pharma would have built more production facilities as soon as Phase 2/3 trials were showing good results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onekoolguy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 When all is "perfect to reopen" and all the doctors etc are satisfied that everything is now safe, another virus will be there to take the place of this one. Make plenty of vaccine available and just open up! People know to be careful and take precautions. This is just "Life" Things will never be perfect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
