Popular Post webfact Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 By Ken Lohatepanont Since the start of the third wave, the government has been stuck in a difficult, damned if you do, damned if you don’t position. Impose too many restrictions and long-suffering small businesses may finally topple. Impose too few, however, and infections would continue with no end in sight. Instead of the eradication strategy that the government successfully accomplished last year, this time the government has opted for a middling approach and eventually started removing restrictions even before a consistent improvement in case numbers could be detected. The result was a continued rise in infections which has put the health system under severe strain and now the re-imposition of a ban on dining inside. This oscillation between closing and opening feels disorienting and does neither public health nor the economy much good. Even while it is clear that there is not much appetite at the highest levels of power to return to last year’s eradication strategy, more can still be done to combat the current situation.

There is no end in sight as witnessed now with the numbers rising and all of the variants of Covid putting a pincher move on Thailand. Employers are throwing away workers by dumping them on the side of the road as they do not want to be caught with un-documented workers. This is truly a screwed up situation and one caused by the PM, Anutin and their cronies. The below says it all. Money is the driving force, and unless they kick down to the public, which they won't then they have painted themselves into a nice tight corner with a lack of vaccines and wishing to open up Phuket while locking down certain places in Bangkok and then other provinces making folks arriving to test and quarantine.....Sad. 17 minutes ago, webfact said: there is not much appetite at the highest levels of power to return to last year’s eradication strategy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I don't know. Some guys look into the behind scene info. I'm bit superficial. Tend to look at results. I'm only guessing in that I assume there has been production issues and also keep in mind that there were contracts in place to supply some countries. Philippines? etc. I think yesterday they did something like 70k+ (little bit) vaccinations. That's ridiculous. Some expats on the forums are having success with first jab. Hasn't been straightforward esp for folk in Bangkok. Have you had your first jab? What's your personal experience been. I'm too obnoxious to deal with registration and apps etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) 3. Keep outdoor venues, such as public parks, open. Something that has been puzzling throughout the third wave is the fact that some outdoor venues, such as parks, were closed down, while indoor venues such as shopping malls were allowed to remain open. And yet the first thing areas in Chonburi (and likely other provinces) was to again promptly shut down beaches and other outdoor areas...madness!

Same in America too no matter race, color, creed or national origin. Other that blatant racism and segregation by these DOGS, there is absolutely no reason what-so-ever that any foreign national should be turned away at anytime to register and/or be vaccinated. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjinchiangrai Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The lack of vaccinations has been the driver. They bent over backwards to keep the money in the hands of the investor(s) in the Thai AZ facility. The doses were not delivered and now we are out of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
