Sinking beneath the waves. A veritable hub of waves.

I disagree. High C19 cases justifys authorities getting their fingers out and ordering adequate vaccinations pronto. 

Not just ordering but receiving. Time to put the Thailand AZ vaccine facility under military control and ensuring no vaccines leave the country.

I think they are going to keep announcing waves until they get a variant called Thai variant . Had Brazilian , Kent , Indian etc so they want to join the team as usual !

Cant see **** but they want it ! ????

Ha, well from what I've read elsewhere the delta variant not only transmits faster it also mutates faster (minor categories). Perhaps it might get to the non-problematic variant faster too...be great, and appropriate, if it happened in Thailand ????

What is the survival rate for c19?

Was about 98%, but that includes numbers from early in the pandemic. With improved medical experience and a largely vaccinated population, it must be far better in recent times.

Do you not realise that the Government IS the military?
The AZ vaccine is already under military control!
That's part of the problem.

They've already had one. The UK  named it and then the Thais denied it saying it came from Egyptian military visitors.

I know all that. What I mean is using their military to contain the facility to ensure no vaccines leave the country. For once a military regime could actually do something useful for its country.

Now the Lambda variant is the newest one to hit the world.

Most of the cases are being found around the construction sites where there is little or no precautions. The Gov't says that they can't close them down because of safety concerns but we all know that if they were unsafe at this stage of construction they shouldn't be being built at all.

They could shut down the sites having made sure that there are no loose items up high. With no workers on site there would be less risk of any injuries.

Clearly, there are too many big wigs who have a pecuniary interest in them being completed.

Another case of the few holding the rest of us to ransom.

Shut them down! It's a no-brainer!

Thailand: the only country in the world to have two Covid waves at the same time! Congratulations!

 

Another Hub for Thailand  to shout about.  They are still the number one of the Hubs of the world.

Very high. 98-99%.

   Always, always, just talk, talk, talk.  I could care less if this is the 4th wave.   What I am waiting for is the FIRST WAVE of millions of quality vaccines finally arriving for everyone.

Vaccines cannot be ordered in large quantities, as they are still paying for the useless submarines and all the other military junk bought from their china friends.

Not wishing to put a downer on things,  but how long have you got?

That is worrying...... I remember only recently wondering why Peru had such a starkly higher per capita death rate than any other country..... here we have a reason.

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.

 

But don't worry, everything's just fine, Phuket has made a few million Baht from the sandbox already, so what does it matter if the Thai healthcare system collapses? One of these days I fully expect to see Prayut and Anutin standing on the deck of HTMS Chakri Naruebet with a huge banner saying "Mission Accomplished".

The survival rate is high, however long term there are several problems, according to CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects.html

You're going to have to send some of those troops to the UK and Europe because Astra Zeneca over there supplies the precursors to Siam Bioscience.

27,000 infected in the UK yesterday and no lockdown, infect, in a few days the UK will be open to business as usual, what the UK health authorities knows that the Thai or even the Aussies don't? whom, in Australia enough for someone to sneeze to put the whole city into lockdown...

What they know? They know that a significant portion of their population has been vaccinated with the Astra Zeneca jab. Unlike Thailand. That's a game changer and you know that.

Vaccine uptake has also been quite poor in Australia as well.

It is evident why it also sells alcohol, with a connection with Covid, don't ask me why?

Because I have no idea ....

In case you hadn't noticed, this government was not democratically elected and its leader is a former general and coup-leader. In other words, it's a quasi-military government, ideal for its bigwigs to sell public property for private gain. Let's put the Siam Biosciences AZ facility under civilian control, then there might be less theft.

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. 

So many experts on here it is unbelievable. 

Foresight is a wonderful thing if available, failing that you would suggest permanent restrictions and be prepared for anything before it happens.

One has to assume that you believe the likes of Trump and Bojo were extremely competent when they initially shrugged off the pandemic.

Incompetency is rife among politicians worldwide, only xenophobes would consistently single out a particular nation.

At 100,000 a day, how many are likely to be hospitalised, get long covid or die?

 

Sajid Javid has warned that Covid cases could get as high as 100,000 cases a day this summer, as he admitted numbers will “rise significantly” after all remaining Covid restrictions are eased in a fortnight.

Congratulations to Thailand! The General has worked hard to attain this. Or not. : (

Well, so far, while cases have risen dramatically, hospitalizations and deaths have not. That's down to widespread vaccination.

Australia have a few problems to solve here due to their strategy on this.   What was once lauded may well prove to be a big mistake, as in a country without covid, how on earth do you convince people to take a vaccine for it?  Currently, the risk of catching and dying from covid in Australia must be an order of magnitude lower than the risk associated with taking the vaccine, even though that risk itself is very small.   

 

They are in a position where the country will remain closed so they do not let covid in, but by not letting it in they have lost the motivation from the population to be vaccinated.   Tricky conundrum really and probably will end up having to mandate its use and that will not go down well in any western country.

A bit off topic as it's the UK, but they are predicting 100,000 cases a day once the restrictions are lifted. But with most people vaccinated the death rate is minimal. How a country, a government, can find 100,000 cases a day acceptable is beyond me.

Cases aren't a concern , only death rates are and thats slowed right down to the point of below the 5 year average per annum...The pandemic far as being lethal is  becoming less so with every varient, which is exactly what was expected,for the vast majority contracting delta its literally no more than a few cold symptoms.Sure there will be hospitalisations and death  but a bad winter flu affects upto 20% of the population or about 10m contracting and killing 20k in 6 mths over winter some years...covid is now way below that...

Everyone just needs to get to the Phuket sandbox everything is good there just ask the PM who is in apparent self isolation because 1 of his bagmen tested positive for covid on there pat on the back get together for the big Sandbox opening, if things aren't bad enough now there is worse to come as a result of there incompetence, greed and Stupidity
