Seen that for a fact......? Or simply whimsical?

Front page of yesterday's BP said troops and police have been mobilised  to seal off almost 600 construction worker camps in Greater Bangkok. They are there to stop 80,000 workers inside leaving.

[trainman34014]

It must all be 'A Terrible Misunderstanding' !!

[rabas]

Worldometer this morning shows closed case fatalities (dead) at 2.31%.

 

But lets talk about potential brain damage. Stanford University has shown brain fog and even loss of smell are due to brain injury, which affects large numbers of young, mild, and even asymptomatic cases. ARS Technica:

 

"... between 16 and 30 years old, 52 percent (32 of 61) still suffered COVID-19 symptoms after six months. The most common symptoms were disturbed taste and/or smell, fatigue, difficulty breathing, difficulty concentrating, and memory problems."  (more)

Why.    What harm could the double vaccinated, quadruple tested, GPS tracked tourists coming in possibly do there?  

Not a lot of harm, but a lot of resources are being used up to get Phuket tourist ready. Vaccines and testing kits could better be used, particular the former since healthy young people are getting vaccinated in Phuket just so they can serve dinner to a tourist in a restaurant. Meanwhile, people in at risk groups struggle to get vaccinated.

Yes the standard reply of the covid deniers / tinfoil hat people is that the death rate is low. But they forget that coivd has a lot of other effects too. Like the ones you mentioned. Also you can be out the running needing physical rehabilitation and you can lose part of your lung function. They love to act like everything is ok and  you either die or your good. But they forget about the long lasting effects and the other negative effects during the disease like hospital stay and so on.

 

They like to make it as if its all not important because they want to open everything up and have fun again. Its not logic that rules in their minds but selfishness.

Exponential increase is orders of magnitude...like doubling and doubling again; again we don't see it. The situation is unfortunate but hardly dire...even a mostly vaccinated UK (similar population) is reporting 15k daily cases so 5k in a mostly unvaccinated population isn't so bad.

So you have flipped from a statement that the range of cases in Thailand has been 3k to 5k  for several months, to suddenly talking about exponential growth.

 

that wouldn’t be because the chart of thai Covid cases shows that a level of 3k cases was only reached a couple of weeks ago and before that was hovering around 2k cases for quite some time, is it? So your original statement was nonsense.

 

but congratulations on the denderesque scale of your deflection. I will let others talk to you about exponential growth, the point I made about the inaccuracy of your comment on the range of Thai Covid cases over the last several months, appears proven by your sudden desire to talk about something else.

@AstraZeneca

says it will fulfill its target of delivering 6 million #COVID19 vaccine doses to Thailand this month with the remaining 1.3 million doses “this week”.

My apologies, let me point to the great non-lockdown of 2018/2019 where the UK experienced its worst flu outbreak in years.    During this terrible period tens of thousands of people died.    If the UK had implemented a lockdown in February 2019, then without doubt people would be stating that the lockdown saved the day as the flu virus all but disappeared in April, and would have forgotten that seasonal viruses are... seasonal.    

 

Maybe the lockdown from November 2020 that lasted all the way into April 2021 worked, or maybe, just as in April 2019 the virus started to fade away due to the change of seasons.     The lockdown that started in November 2020 saw the highest ever number of cases recorded in the UK in January 2021, which gave the lockdown 2 months to have an effect.   Now if you believe in lockdowns at this point you state that the lockdown in November wasn't hard enough, wasn't implemented early enough, or just took a bit longer to start having an effect.   If you don't believe in lockdowns then you tend to err on the side that they don't really seem to make much difference.    

The orange arrow points to the announcement of the full lockdown. I am sorry if the dates and numbers don't support the misinformation your internet friends sent you.

That is a ridiculously over simplification of the statistics and you know it.

 

so lockdowns in bangkok won’t reduce cases because they have more cases than rural mukdahan?

 

SMh.

There is little point in me doing so.   The UK implemented lockdowns and the case numbers kept on rising as an example.    A lockdown believer will then counter with something like "but it would have been a lot worse if they didn't lockdown" so I find these debates a bit tiresome.   It's impossible for me to hop over to the parallel universe where the UK rode it out without a lockdown and come back with irrefutable proof to back up my claim.    It's a faith based system similar to a religion.  You may believe in it but I personally choose not to.  

You had better produce a chart showing the trajectory of UK cases during the country’s period of lock down and show that the case count was higher at the end of it, than at the beginning.

 

you’re going to be hard pushed to do that, but go ahead and try. If you can’t, there is no debate necessary, you are just plain wrong and the facts show it.

.Opinion: The vulnerable and desperate are the first victims of government mismangement

 

Locking down construction camps and sites to stop the spreading of the Delta variant makes sense because most of the clusters in Bangkok were found at these venues and most of the Delta cases were found at these places.

From what I saw from the UK, no matter how perfect someone's hindsight is, it doesn't offer any solutions to the current predicament.   Based on what happened in other countries it should not be unreasonable to expect that Thailands case numbers will be in the tens of thousands per day within a few weeks or a month or two, but it really depends on how much testing capacity as to whether we actually see that number and whether that even reflects the reality.  

 

I think the time has probably come for people to start asking themselves the difficult questions.   Such as, is this country safe for me if the numbers of cases get that high? Do I even have the option to get out of here?  Is it realistic to expect a vaccine anytime soon if in a vulnerable category?   Lockdowns, no matter how severe, have not really made that much difference in countries where the case numbers are in tens of thousands per day and if Thailand starts appearing on the red list of other countries then it will be increasingly difficult to get a flight out of here.   

You ask yourself questions at a time of your choosing. Leave it to me to ask myself what I want, when I deem necessary.

 

based on the views you have expressed on here to date, I wouldn’t be relying on you for advice.

Would say this would be the nail in any potential re-election of the junta based government, but I suspect a whole elimination of opposition as covid eventually ends

Funny, I lived in NYC until December 2020, and that's not how I remember it.  I remember a shutdown for 3 months, not 4, which was instrumental to solving the nightmare that had me hearing nonstop sirens for 3 straight weeks starting the third week of March.

 

Between international travel, the population density and mass transit, we were the canary in the coal mine for the US, as it was moving swiftly through the city before we knew what hit us.  As things were about to hit their apex, the city shut down (similar to here, many of us wished it would happen sooner, as I had a convo at my office in the middle of February about how they needed to lock down)

 

The shutdown was enforced on March 22, and sure enough, around 3 weeks later was one of the worst day for cases during the first wave, as was predicted by the doctors.  And to give you an idea how well a shutdown can work, about 10 days later cases had dropped from almost 11,000 to around 4,000.  And then May averaged less than 2,000 cases per day

 

But by all means, keep making up numbers and lying about the real world impact that shutdowns had

Yes target of 500k daily doses since 07 June.  Currently well short.

500k is the daily target for all vaccine types.

1.3m doses is the weekly target for AZ delivery.

It would be nice to know if any of the 18 imported cases were from already vaccinated arrivals and what variant they had upon arriving or while during their ASQ stay.
