The only problem with his statement is that only 2% of the population has received those 2 doses, and it doesn't look like that number gonna increase in the near future 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dinsdale Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 This may sound strange with 4,642 community transmissions but I think this is the calm before the storm. They said about 80,000 workers in camps in BKK. How many got out before being locked into the covid cages where if they didn't have covid chances are they would get it and how far have those that got out travelled and how many of these are infectious. The coming days will tell the story. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that the number of beds being freed up would have to be greater than the number going in to be good news. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coming days will tell the story. The chances are they will test and re test all the locked in Workers in the Camps in a similar fashion as the lock in factories in Samut Sakhon a while back. This is completely the wrong way to test, as the Virus is loose in Communities, Factories and offices now. These are the places that need the saturated testing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Who in their right mind with cases continuing upward would jump through any hoops for a 2 week vacation when lockdowns in Bangkok and other provinces to help with the covid cases would deter them? Surely a few diehard folks and people who live here might. Edited June 29, 2021 by ThailandRyan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not good news if you don't know how many beds have been newly occupied. It's like saying it's good news that your company has taken in 1 million dollars without acknowledging what expenditures are. And thefar more important number is whether more or less critical care beds are being occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, the article is behind a pay wall, but that does not matter. The above sentence implies my question is very valid. Which future variants. Why? Because SARS2 is new to humans. It is therefore making major adaptive changes to better attack humans, and to evade immune system defences. It is not currently driven by antigenic drift. The researchers will need to step up to the plate and address such questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then why is the production in the US if the research was in Germany ? But anyway the top vaccines are made in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
