As many variations as there are committees who set them. The first one was 10 million a month from June

With the amount of Vaccines that have to be Exported to other Asian Nations, Thailand will be very lucky to receive between 5  and 6 Million Doses of AZ a Month.

And there really is little SB can do about this, as AZ are contracted to supply the Vaccines, not SB, who are purely the Partnership for Manufacture.

It will be interesting to see how much pressure is applied to AZ by the Thai Government, and what the reaction will be from AZ

The announcement below suggests there's currently more than 1,200 COVID cases waiting for hospital bed assignments in Bangkok...

 

"The National Health Security Office (NHSO) is working with Piyavate Hospital and health networks in setting up 23 community isolation facilities in Bangkok, to handle more than 1,200 COVID-19 patients with less severe symptoms while they wait for hospital beds.

 

The Department of Medical Services (DMS) said the number of hospital beds for COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms in Bangkok is nearing a critical level. If the daily number of new cases in Bangkok reaches 2,000, the number of ICU beds in the capitals’ hospitals is expected to reach capacity in the next few weeks.

 

Leaders of 23 communities will inform local COVID-19 teams, from the Institute of HIV Research and Innovation (IHRI), about infected people in their localities. If infections are confirmed, the hospital will send mobile X-ray vehicles to examine them for signs of pneumonia, and the process will be repeated every three days.

NHSO secretary-general Jadej Thammatacharee said the NHSO will pay all the costs involved in the community isolation process, such as 1,000 baht for daily meals, RT-PCR testing costs and thermometers."

On that map, the white areas are those provinces with no cases. The green areas are those with 1 to 10 new cases for the day. It's getting hard to find/spot the few remaining white/no case areas.

Lonely blind boy in Covid-hit family tugs at netizens heartstrings

The story of Michael, a blind boy whose family has been hounded by Covid-19, has gone viral among netizens on Sunday.

Wit Nongyai, a Facebook user, said Michael's mother had died due to Covid-19 on Thursday, while the boy's father was being treated at the hospital as he tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday.

He explained that neighbours have to send meals to Michael, who lives in a fourth-storey apartment, by using a rope as he does not have any relatives.

That is a huge statistic, 1,200 waiting for beds  These are folks who need some type of treatment, and an isolation facility with medical staff may or may not suffice.  You wonder how many of them are from inside the locked construction worker camps, closed and locked in factory workers.  Do we have a total of those migrant workers that are locked inside of the facilities and how many of them have been tested for Covid, or are they just out of sight out of mind.  I am beyond being <deleted> off.  The separation of children from parents is also BS.  My GF's Aunts children are now in a hospital requiring treatment for symptoms and they can not be with a parent, the father who is also symptomatic is another location as well..  We just found out that one aunt has been removed from her ventilator and moved out of the CCU into another ward as she is doing better but still not out of the woods by a long shot.  How in gods name can entire families be separated when they all have covid.  I do understand that the wards and rooms are not large enough but to put children into a different hospital away from mom or dad has to be terrifying for them.

Today, there are reports of new clusters in factories and work camps in Samut Sakhon (15), Chonburi (16), Nonthaburi (28), and Tak (153). Also 14 cases at a school in Krabi. At Tala Tai market in Pathum Thani, there are 281 new cases bringing the total to 1,436.

Included in today's government COVID briefing materials was the following chart that appears to show their latest plans for government vaccine acquisitions (which because it's government, excluded the current Sinopharm and future Moderna doses):

 

I'm not sure how they can produce a chart today calling for 60+ million AZ doses this year, when the head of the country's vaccine center already publicly said this past week that local AZ vaccine deliveries are likely to be only half of the 10 million doses promised for each of the months of July and August.

Just the picture what i share before. One question also is , how kid tell to total stranger how he or she really feels!? Many kid be afreid of nurses and doctors. Now whitout they parents to locked some room in hospital what also can be scared place. And we all know how busy all medical personel are in this situation and how even normaly they act in Thailand. All running jobs are normaly handeled bye family members in hospitals. Now nurses have to do even those jobs, how they have time enough for small patient.

Thailand will now be number 65 on the covid-19 charts. In three months Thailand has jumped over 52 countries. 

In terms of overall case numbers that's true. If you use other metrics though, we're doing even worse. 

 

On the ranking of daily new cases, Thailand is actually up to 12th now.

It's also possible for a variant to come along which is much less deadly than what we've seen. I believe that's how the previous SARS pandemic came to an end.

the natural evolution of a virus is to become more infectious and less virulent (people get less sick) until until it reaches a point where people who get infected dont get sick and herd immunity develops and kills off the virus.

Indeed. Cheers for pointing this out. Weekly trends top 17 yesterday looking like 16 today. I just don't understand how some people on here can't see that things are very bad. Add the crisis in health care and an obvious lack of testing, vaccine roll out dismal and depending on SinoVac (this is corruption for sure) then throw in Delta and Beta into the mix and it seems pretty clear that Thailand is in big trouble.

Again I would like to know nationality breakdown of deaths. All the foreign workers caged up some must have died. Are they included in the daily death toll.

This is a generalisation and also this is something very new and argueably man made. You are right in a way but this seems to be getting stronger and more virulent with each mutation. Herd immunity may devolop but so does the virus.

Bangkok is having its well-publicized COVID woes, but the south of Thailand near the southern border is suffering as well... From the Thai newspaper Khomchadluek via Google Translate:

The Beta variant, apparently, spread from a Mosque over the border in Malaysia. The Malays have a Covid situation worse than Thailand.

yes, as most biological theories are. You might also note that I was replying to a post about the previous SARS virus and its ending, and not to the current virus, the origin of which I agree with you. A virus that becomes more infectious and virulent becomes self-limiting by killing off its host, outside of the development of an effective vaccine that decreases its inherent lethality.

Ebola does this. That's why Ebola is never a pandemic. This is different.

Thailand is closing in on Malaysia in terms of daily new cases and current active cases, though still far behind in terms of total cumulative cases and deaths.

Rolling 7 day average (up to 2nd July only) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases.

If we were doing techical analysis of a share price, we might say it has encountered resistance at the 6,000 level and is at crossroads where it could either fail to break resistance and this will be the top, or it is just consolidating for a few days to build up strength to punch ujp through resistance straight up to 10,000.  Somehow I suspect it will be the latter but hope it will be the former.

Woman sick with COVID who camped outside a cop shop to protest the fact that she couldn't get a hosptial bed.  Eventually someone found her one and carted her off.  I think we will see a lot more of this sort of thing. Cops and security guards are reluctant to manhandle infected people.
