NanLaew Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, soalbundy said: I recently watched a program about a hospital in the UK fighting covid, a doctor there said, "We aren't going to be able to eradicate covid, it's here to stay" I think there was already broad agreement on that some time last year. 1 hour ago, jacko45k said: Claims on UK News today was that most daily new infections were people who had not been vaccinated. No mention if that meant not fully or zero jabs. Meanwhile Scotland's health experts are theorizing on what's contributing to the current infection surge in Glasgow (second only to the NW England hot spots). The claim there's a larger percentage of the population that dodged the bullet on the first and second waves last year so Delta has a target-rich environment. I am assuming this percentage either weren't vaccinated or maybe only had the first shot. Edited July 6, 2021 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aussienam Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 18 hours ago, JamesH said: 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. Yeah, it's Sinovac that is the dud vaccine against the Delta strain, based off global reports from countries predominantly using Sinovac. There is hope though that a booster shot (triple dose) may help. I feel sorry for the many Thais who are only getting Sinovac jabs and, according to those global reports, are therefore not being effectively protected from Delta strain. I hope at least they can get a third jab. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussienam Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 1 hour ago, cjinchiangrai said: The Bangkok Post had an article yesterday saying that they called Moderna to ask about delivery. Moderna said Q1-22 because no order has been placed. Apparently the vaccines they are collecting money for are not on the way. My Australian government announced in May this year that it had donated 68 Million baht for "Thailand's vaccine efforts". Would be interesting where international aid money sent to Thailand for COVID is being spent. I hope it has been put to proper use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MrJ2U Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Who in theirs right couldn't see this coming? Its being reported daily. Completely clueless people running things here! Imagine after that huge Chemical explosion yesterday. No hospital beds for the critically injured. As leaders you need to be more prepared. But its like this everyday. Real Generals are trained for emergencies and support lines. These aren't Generals. There just playing dress up in uniform day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 I am the boss and part owner of a company that works closely with the Thai government on a number of projects, and the government is now telling us that we have to have the staff vaccinated in order to continue to operate. We registered through the normal channels for the Sinovac or AZ (whatever was available) and there was no movement on this so they have expedited us to get AZ vaccines in the next two weeks. They have just got back to me saying because I am a farang I am not eligible. They can do one as far as I am concerned. Hope this country disappears up its own #### 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ) It appears to be more infectious than previous variants, but B ) It doesn't appear to be more lethal than previous variants. If you have access to BBC World News check out the interview today with Eric Feigl-Ding. Your (B) according to him (a leading expert) is based on outmoded data.

This is the optimal survival strategy from the perspective of the virus. The Spanish Flue started as rather benign and mutated into one of the most deadly infection in human's history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50-60 bracket is around %1 on average. 70-60 2.5% https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid I won't split hair on the exact number, but it's remarkably low at ages during which there's still plenty fo life to live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 4 hours ago, MrJ2U said: Good for you sir! Take care, crazy times! I only go off the property once or twice a week, usually to get things that it is difficult to explain to my wife. She doesn't speak engineer or techie. For instance today I needed a 3/4 inch, inline water valve, metal not plastic, handle not screw valve plus 2 x 3/4 male blue plastic fitments, to replace the existing 3/4 plastic valve. It is easier for me to go to the shop and talk to the staff to get what I need sometimes with a show and tell valve, either 1/2 inch or 1 inch as I don't have a spare 3/4 valve. Other than that my wife is the one that goes out and AFAIK there is little or no Covid, so far in our clump of villages in rural Kamphaeng Phet.
