Where's the vax? That's what we really need. About 45% of the US is now vaccinated, and so everywhere's reopening. Amazing considering how at one time we had the highest rate of infections.

 

These small, occasional shipments from China are ridiculous. Why can't larger supplies be secured, from other sources? Why can't the manufacturing be done here?

About 45% of the US is now vaccinated, and so everywhere's reopening. 

 

In UK almost 60% are fully vaccinated and the cases are rising........ almost 20.000 a day despite of sufficient supply of vaccines (no China stuff of course) Delta says Hello, mainly because Boris let 2400 people into UK though tested positive. "Unfortunately" they left faked adresses about their accomodation of being quarantied. ????

Do not forget chain reaction it creates

Implied, but not at all forgotten. It's the obvious "fallout" and "trickle down" of the proprietors closing forever. Oh well...it's always been true that bad times upon Thailand equates to more value and spending power for me. As I'm just along for the ride...just sit back, relax, watch the ????-show and enjoy it.

All this and some massage shops are still open.   Guess they didn't get the memo.   

[Chosenfew]

Johnson and Johnson are widely available now as well as Phiser and Maderna.

Construction sites should have been shut down months ago. 

 

Are real estate developers above the law? Do they have the ear and unconditional support of the goons? Have those same goons finally figured something out? Do we really need more buildings, when most of these developers cannot sell or rent a unit, to save their lives? 

[Knobby37]

Nothing to do with protests??

[Nikko Webmaster]

Where are the list of the provinces affected? this article is so vague!

[Sydebolle]

I just wonder, how long do Thais watch their absolutely hopeless government.

Hardly saw a bigger fiasco while the same government people rob all state coffers blind with "lamp post gate", submarines into shallow waters, airport extensions for passengers who shall not arrive ....... pathetic!

Jomtien Beach?

[fleccer]

They have to restrain the protests, so this restrictions have nothing to do with the virus

Well look at it this way. All these major construction projects require concrete, which in turn requires cement. Who is one of the largest pseudo monopolistic cement suppliers in Thailand ? Then go from there

I didn't see massage shops on the list.  I think they can remain open.

Utterly unforgivably irresponsible behavior, and policy. Regardless of who the principals are. Where is the compassion? Where is the moral decency? Where is the ability to set an example?

They have no moral decency. They care not one jot for the real Thais as they treat them as serfs, just dispensable pawns in their own money making schemes  unfortunately.

Sure. But why didn't the PM include Chonburi in last night's order? Or do you think the Governor will do it unilaterally? 

 

Why do tourists from BKK flock to the Prachuap region this weekend while the hotels were deserted in the past few weeks, this is the real question to ask?

 

How can you expect to control the spread of the epidemic if all leisure travel remains open?

in fairness if they tested at the same rate as here they would probably only have 2000 cases per day ????????

Because the affluent nations that invested in the vaccine development withheld their support for a waiver on the intellectual property rights. Seven months down the line and they are still arguing the toss.

If it wasn't for Chinese donations many countries wouldn't have had any vaccine till much later, if at all.

 

"As of November 2020, Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique and Pakistan officially co-sponsored the proposal, which approximately 100 countries have now welcomed or fully supported.³ However, several of the WTO’s larger members, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, the EU, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, the UK and the US had withheld their support. Following the US’s decision to reverse their decision on the proposal, these other countries have come under pressure to lend their support to the temporary waiver also."

 

"In September 2020, Oxfam reported that wealthy nations representing just 13 percent of the world’s population had bought up 51 percent of the promised doses of leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates."

We could end this pandemic very quickly with widespread use of Ivermectin or we can continue on the current course of providing a favorable environment for this virus to quickly evolve into something much more deadly with vaccines. Choose wisely.

Now the spread of vaccinations in the US has dropped almost to a trickle.  In about 15 of the 50 states there is a 70% vaccinated populace whereas in the rest, some only have around 15-20% and those don't seem to want to get vaccinated.  Thus some vaccines must be getting close to being outdated and useless so they should be shipping those overseas.  Thailand has indicated that they have

ordered some of the US vaccines but that they won't arrive until the end of this year (maybe).  I am more than willing to pay for my and my family jabs in Chiang Mai but the Hospital still has not

vaccines available.  I noted that yesterday there was a report of 2 people vaccinated with the

Chinese vaccine are now infected with the virus.  As a note, if you have been following the US

news about the collapsed building, there were many from S. America, some that had come to the

US just to get vaccinated, now they seem to be lost.  I only go out to get food/water, wear my mask

all the time when out of the house, wash my hands often when outside, am healthy and my family

follows the same practices so hopefully we can avoid the virus until such time that we can get needled.  Just hope the variant D+ doesn't zoom into Thailand.  Hope all stay safe and survive this pandemic in a sane manner, unlike some of the news stories.

Yes the horse bolted a long long time ago, with the initial outbreak in the fish market.....

I think this is a good decision albeit it 2 weeks to late,  they have looked where the clusters are and sealed them to stop it continuing to get out of the dormitories without killing the fragile economy, in 4 weeks time they can look again and adjust up or down.

Prayut now i have covered your corner can me and my British friends have a jab because sure as eggs BJ is not as compassionate as Macron.

In anticipation i thank you sir on behalf of expats who are happy to stay in your wonderful country and will continue to spend to help out

Again no dine in in the restaurants but they can have a party with up to 20 people ?? A lot of smaller restaurants don't even have 20 customers in at 1 time so what's the difference . I think the time for those stupid half wit solutions has passed , it's close everything for at least a month or just let it go and ride the storm until there are enough vaccines. I know it will not happen but the time for those in charge to leave has come for a while already . Mr P and Mr A in my mind hope those clusters will stay so there won't be any mobs because i think they know(not sure because they are to dumb to know the front from the back)that as soon as the virus is taken to a halt , that there will be big mobs happening because more and more people are getting fed up with them . They don't want to say it now but when there can be gatherings they will go out and protest for sure .

I just wonder if they are seeing a very different set of figures from the ones we see.......and they are starting to panic!!!
