snoop1130 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 ฺBANGKOK, July 6 (TNA) – The government should impose a lockdown to limit people’s movements if new COVID-19 cases continue to be considerable in the next 14 days, said a deputy chief advisor to the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration. Clinical Prof Emeritus Udom Kachintorn, deputy chief advisor to the center, said Thailand already entered its fourth wave of COVID-19 in which daily new cases amounted to 5,000-6,000 and new fatalities stood at about 50 a day. He said if the rates of new cases and deaths continue, the national health system will be unable to cope because monthly new cases will nearly reach 200,000.

Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 6, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thailand enters 4th COVID-19 wave as more cases are of mutated virus, CCSA advisor says Thailand is now entering the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Delta coronavirus variant expected to become the dominant strain in Thailand and the rest of the world in 1-2 months, said Clinical Professor Emeritus Dr. Udom Kachintorn who is an advisor to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today (Tuesday). In his Facebook live message, he said that the Delta variant is spreading fast in Thailand and, for June and July, is accounting for 30% of all new COVID-19 cases, particularly in and around Bangkok where it is around 50%, predicting that it will become the dominant variant in the next 1-2 months due to its fast transmissibility, which is 40% more than the Alpha strain, which represented 85-90% of all cases in Thailand prior to June. He pointed out that the Delta variant hastens the lung infection, resulting the patients being put on ventilators in just 3-5 days, compared to 7-10 days in the case of Alpha variant. If this situation is allowed to persist, he said that the need for more hospital beds will increase steadily until the entire Thai health system collapses.

Popular Post EricTh Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) It's already too late to lockdown, most infected people have already went to other provinces. You don't wait until a disaster becomes reality to lockdown. You should lockdown before the disaster happens. It goes to show their incompetency.

Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) he urged everyone to cooperate in the fight against the new variant and to report for inoculation, The problem isn't people reporting for a vaccine, it's been the total incompetence of those in charge in getting enough to vaccinate the populace within a respectable timeframe !

Popular Post Caldera Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 Calling it a 4th wave is absurd. The 3rd wave, triggered by VIP partying and Songkran travel, has shown no signs of abating. It already had Delta mixed in back in April; what we see now isn't a new wave, just Delta outpacing the other variants. 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a handful cases every day isn't a wave , it's a warning and can potentially lead to a wave . Looking at the potential for this 1 i might even think that it might lead to a tsunami , and no that isn't 10.000 cases p/d . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but... The UK health authorities know the uk vaccination rate is high. Vaccination rate in Australia and Thailand are both abysmal. With that in mind it all makes sense. 18 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the UK is vaccinated, well a very large percentage is and Thailand is not vaccinated. If the UK were not vaccinated they would still be in their lockdown phase. Australia has not vaccinated many people either. Edited July 7, 2021 by ThailandRyan 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2021 Without a vaccination plan, and maximum effort on that plan (500,000 to 1 MM doses daily) there's nothing to do but ride it out, wave after wave. Social distancing and masks are our only tools, I mean other than the current 'government'. A lockdown can stop the spread, especially in ravaged areas, but a national/provincial or city lockdown won't do much good in the long run. A month after the lockdown ends we'll get wave N. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting there fingers out will not help when there is a genuine supply issue of the available vaccines on the market .

Mmmmm - 3rd wave . . . 4th wave . . . well Thailand's leaders have never been very good at understanding how the outside world works and how farangs do things - they try to copy it but don't get it right. It's not just with the pandemic - just look at the Thai approach to presenting statistics - then take a close look at their systems of law, education, policing, justice, finance, and banking, for other notable examples!
