First off, you were never tested than and won’t be tested now.

 

Secondly, the Delta variant doesn’t care if you were infected before.

First off I never claimed I was tested.

Second that's what I was saying the Delta variant is just another common cold corona virus variant which have been circulating for eons.These common cold variants currently circulating are particularly nasty and devastating for millions and is particularly common this time around.  

Thirdly I just saw my 80 year old mother in law having a bit of a coughing fit which is something I rarely see.

Hospitals in Bangkok suspending tests because of lack of beds for those with positive results and now this.....................

 

Shortage of personnel hits Covid testing service at many Bangkok hospitals

 

Several hospitals in Bangkok and vicinity have suspended Covid-19 testing due to shortage of personnel, as they had to also deal with several cases in their workplace.

The hospitals that have suspended the Covid-19 tests are: Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun,Vibhavadi, Mali Interdisciplinary Hospital, Paolo, Nakornthon, Mahachai, Phyathai 2 (ARI Clinic), Princ Suvarnabhumi and Synphaet Ramintra.

The test service was suspended from the middle of this week.

 

The resumption date has not been announced.

Isn't it entirely possible that you had a cold then, and have a cold now? Either that or allergies!

It is entirely possible in fact I'm certain of it since they are both corona viruses and are the same thing.The flu in 1918 was a flu virus and still is, no different really apart from the number of deaths in each pandemic.I'm not saying it isn't bad I'm saying they go by the same family of viruses, one is a flu virus and one is a common cold virus.

Please. You're not saying this is the common cold are you? Sure it's in the coronavirus family but this is SARS-CoV-2 which leads to Covid-19 and which has offcially killed nearly 4,000,000 people in around 16 months and is happily mutating into entirely new strains.

seem to remember someone on here poo pooing me for mentioning 320 doctors in Indonesia being infected after both sinovac jabs !

 

The truth will be found out about that rubbish - with deaths and time

 

Remember the ladies volleyball team that all tested positive in May?

 

My wife is adamant that they had all been vaccinated.  I can't fine anything to say if they were or not but it would be strange to send them to Italy without having their jabs.

 

Every time I walk by a construction site, I wonder why they are still permitted to gather in large groups, eat together in close proximity, and why the same rules do not apply to them. Are the real estate developers above the law, or somehow considered more important than the rest of society? We cannot have a beer at a restaurant, yet these buildings keep going up, despite not only the lack of Covid safety protocols, but also the extreme lack of demand for them, at this time. 

Is it reasonable for one to make an assumption that the lack of falling numbers, and the inability to even flatten the curve, may have some correlation with the weak, cowardly, and ineffective leadership deliberately choosing to fast track the lowest quality, and least expensive vaccine available? And at the same time, deliberately slowing down the importation of the best ones on the market?

 

True bottom of the barrel leadership, from the dinosaurs who must be ousted, as soon as possible.

If the Government had a vision and plan there would not be a shortage of beds. Is it not possible to check at all the hospitals in and around Bangkok how much beds there are available?? and yes if there is need.... maybe you have to travel further but so what?? That people die because of no available beds is not acceptable, even so the government must be responsible for the not working vaccines too, but who will do that??

But Anutin stated months ago, that the people were not to worry, as Thailand had the 5 th best Medical Care Facilities in the World.

If that is the case, where are they, and why are they not being wheeled out right now while the case loads are fairly small.

4000 / Day is still a small case load IMO, after the many Thousands per Day the UK, US Etc have experienced.

Only 4000 per Day, and the system is falling apart already.

What is it going to get like when the case loads reach 20,000 per Day

 

[Update] The number of cases breaks the 4,000 plateau (+4,089) even as the government is set to impose bans on work camps and construction sites.

 

+ 51 people have died in the last 24 hours

 

.Despite this, Prayut keeps joking around and refuses hard decisions.

All flu viruses have different names but are generally referred to as the flu so I'm doing the same for this virus that's all.We all are aware of the different variants of the the flu and the devastating impact of the flu that occurs yet we still refer to it as the flu.The flu also happily mutates into different strains, so I'm just keeping in step with the precedent set by people referring to other viruses.I'm not doing something new here. 

After just 82 cases detected Greater Sydney including Blue Mountains,Central Coast and Wollongong have gone into lockdown in stark contrast to Thailand with months of recording thousands of cases daily and still no lockdown.

You may not be doing something new, but you are saying something wrong.

• SARS-2 is not a flu and never will be.
• SARS-2 is not (yet) a seasonal disease and doesn't mutate like a seasonal flu.
• Seasonal flu undergoes antigenic-drift, minor changes to avoid recent target immunity i.e., last years flu.
• SARS-2 mutations are big jumps as it learns to better attack its host.  A bull in a China shop.

So, SARS-2 is not a flu and wouldn't mutate the same way even if it was.

You don’t seem to understand that Covid-19 is very different from a common cold. Yes, you had a cold last year and survived and thought you had Covid, and now you think that Covid is no big deal.

No further details.

So they have no problem locking hundreds of migrant workers into their insanitary, filthy camps for a month, but when it comes to Thais in businesses, restaurants, shops etc where the virus has been found it's a no go ?? Every province that has too high numbers ( Chonburi today)needs to be locked down now, not this stupid 23.00hrs - 05.00hrs malarkey, all shops not selling food & essentials, restaurants, close at 20.00hrs no inter province travel, close the schools and get vaccinating like your life depends on it, because it does.

And still there are fools out there who think it's a good idea to go to a club, I hope they throw the book at them.
