BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) has noted that the COVID-19 situation has been aggravated by viral mutations since April, with the spread of the Delta variant.

 

DDC deputy director-general Dr. Sophon Iamsirsithavorn said, although the initial outbreak was in the Bangkok area, it has spread to the capital’s perimeter and in crowded places, such as factories. The infection has entered communities and more households.

 

He said the main measures, which can help contain the outbreak, are to reduce mobility, reduce travel and reduce the risk of getting infected in workplaces. Other measures include not eating at food outlets.

 

Dr. Sophon added that an order will be placed for 20 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, in addition to procurement of Sinovac and AstraZeneca. It’s necessary to negotiate a faster pace of delivery, as the company says the vaccine will be delivered around the fourth quarter of this year.

don't blame delta, it was in thailand already before songran, with migration from india and the region going on till 1st of april, when consulates stopped issuing permits.

Do blame the government which allowed for songran to go on despite the third wave started in march by the very same government officials in thonglor clubs. It was purely face saving operation. And do blame their corruption for acute shortage of choice of vax - in march was already known from an India experience, that AZ don't work that well

Fortunately it is not in Phuket.

They still have not placed the order?  Unbelievable.

Real world data from Public Health England,  demonstrated two doses of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca are 92% effective against hospitalisation due to the Delta variant and showed no deaths among those vaccinated.

With 50% of the UK double vaccinated new cases rose by 75% last week........what the hell is going to happen here?

 

Having said that.....what is going to happen now in the UK with Bungling Bunter about to lift almost all restrictions.

 

It is creeping closer.....just received a notice from Juristic.......building to be sanitized......infected person awaiting collection and removal to hospital....third one in a week

Yes, but due to their production facilities for AZ producing about 1/3rd of what they promised they are using the Chinese rubbish , which they themselves are now thinking might be something like the quality of the toys in Mr DIY

Europe start to order third dose for citizen's. So LOS not going to get it any time soon if they not fast!

Now is the time money really not count!

I bet a third dose is already on the way for 'certain' people.........obviously not frontline health workers.

The problem is simple.

There are no vaccines.

 

This is all subterfuge.

 

Gaslighting much?

 

 

If the government doesn't start actively solving the problem (no vaccines) the trajectory is going vertical. The bad press will be quashed then... thousands upon thousands will start showing up at hospitals like zombies.

This obsession with industrial "sanitization" sprays is BS. They spray surfaces that immediately become unsanitary/germ compromised as soon as the stuff dries. Covid is airborne, it is spreading in ASQ hotels- this is widely broadcast in Australia but not here.

Their biggest idiocy was sanitizing the forest, the jungle, at the Myanmar border. A natural progression from the equally clownish water trucks spraying to reduce air pollution, not site dust, actual smog!

There is no meme ridiculous enough to post on here that matches the scale of their reptilian ineptitude.

That will certainly be the case if large numbers remain unvaccinated and then contract the virus.......each one becoming a little mutation factory........ready for the next bout.

Both the WHO and CDC have walked back their initial warning about transmission via surfaces.  According to sources on the CDC site surface transmission is about 1 in 10,000.  It's airborne via someone hacking, coughing, snottering, or sneezing.  But the government and business will still be mandating that people slather alcohol over their hands before entering a building forever.  The distilleries can't make profits nowadays by selling booze so no doubt they have cut over to creating alcohol for hand-gel.  Bob's Your Uncle!

Ah yes ,the sinovaccians will surely being looking over their shoulders , with a false sense of security ,so to speak because of the spread of the variant  and its poor performance that's been repeatedly reported

I know I would !

Ahh, 2 doses of AZ. The vaccine unicorn for many of us.

But you can only buy alcohol between the hours of 11-2 and 5-9 at the moment. Should apply to hand sanitiser as well as at 70% ….. better than a stiff Thai Whisky ????.

I liked to have my family gathered around me when Its time to mess the bed ! I could be wrong but hospitals have restriction for visitations on account of the virus ! Need those vaccine's to gain entrance to be less susceptible to restrictions

Not really. It comes from the USA where companies HAVE to obey the US laws and the law says NO under table payments and NO brown envelopes.

 

So there is nothing in it for the importers, (the government).

Those who don't get shots are virus mutation factories.

Here: 10 stages of genocide as outlined by academic Gregory H. Stanton.  Stanton stated that the stages may not follow a linear progression and may occur concurrently.
Prevention can occur by interrupting the process at any stage.

 

We're at number 4:  Dehumanization: People equated to animals, vermin, or disease.  ^{<-- (you are here)}

Keep a close eye on this as Apartheid of those unvaccinated is being called for by members of governments and funneled to the general public by main-stream media world-wide.  Then read the 10 stages of genocide.  See where it can leads. If it's seen for what it is quickly enough, "it may be prevented."  Wake up and smell the coffee.  Very disturbing.

1. Classification:  Vaccinated / Unvaccinated
2. Symbolisation: Unvaccinated force to wear masks
3. Discrimination: Unvaccinated are targeted and refused essential goods and services.
4. Dehumanization:  The Unvaccinated are variant mutation factories (CNN says 'experts' say so, so it must be 100% true)
5. Organization:  Planning to implement apartheid of unvaccinated citizens
6. Polarization:  Implementing those plans.

Steps 7 through 10 are messy.  Just look at the results by remembering a little Khmer history just a few decades ago in our SE Asian neighbor. 
"But it's not the same!"
But it's never the same.  As a quote attributed to Mark Twain so aptly states, "History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme."

"But the unvaccinated just need to get vaccinated!"
Yeah, past victims just needed to accept Communism (insert your own -ism), they just needed to accept (insert religion), they just need to accept (insert ideological viewpoint), they just needed to <insert some action>. All for "the better good of mankind", of course.
"Just do what we say to do and we won't oppress or kill you.  Promise!  Just submit."

IF allowed to continue this will not be any different this time around. Well, it will rhyme. Just saying.  Study history and "heads-up!"  This could get ugly.
