Alternative jabs!?

Meaning mRNA types like Moderna and Pfizer, as opposed to the local AZ and Sinovac doses from the government.

Thailand may have infection numbers “3-4 times higher” than the government declared total

 

Experts say that Thailand may have Covid-19 infection numbers 3-4 times higher than the total number declared by the government per day, according to insiders within the healthcare sector.

 

According to a doctor at the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services group, experts at the Private Hospitals Association meeting on Wednesday suggested that the real number of Covid-19 infections could be much higher than that being declared by the government.

 

“We have no idea what the total number is but it could literally be 3 to 4 times higher than what is being declared based on the statistics we have gathered at our hospitals,” the doctor said on condition of anonymity.

“In our hospitals, we have people lining up since 3 am to get tested in the morning as we have a limited number of tests. Of those that we do test, there are days when over half are found to be infected,” said Dr Suwadee Puntpanich, a director at Thonburi Bamrungmuang Hospital.

Seems that we all need to get off our ass and fly back to home country to be vaccinated.

Have you count how many times/day you toutch your cheek/face? Do you know how long time virus stay alive in your cheek? Do you wash your face whit soap same time when you wash your hads.  Virus not walk but it moves from surface to surface. Reason should also clean personal items like phone after toutching those whit dirty hands.

Don't pick your teeth, don't pick your nose and don't rub your eyes. Clean your hands regularly. Basic hygiene. The world will see less colds and flu this year espesicially with mask wearing. Mucus membranes is where particle infection gets in and now it's also airbone so you can also breathe it in.

Top official – fully vaccinated people must wear double face masks against the Delta virus strain

 

With a surge in infections being reported on Wednesday, driven by the more infectious Delta variant of Covid-19, Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, the government spokesman has warned the public that it will have to learn to live with a new level of threat from the disease. It comes as a top doctor at a Bangkok hospital has come forward to say he is aware of people dying at home who are not included in the official tallies. There is also an emerging demand for mRNA vaccines among the public and health personnel on the front line. However, the boss of the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) has warned that the much sought after Moderna vaccine will not be available until early next year.  

 

More - a lot more

Interesting. The missus had a go at me today for wearing a single surgical mask. Think I'll move to two. One's not so good being an asthmatic (ps I'm not a Karen) but on the other hand being an asthmatic aint so good if you catch this. 'coarse this is saying fully vacced should wear two masks. What about the rest of us?

Send conscripts home or risk army-camp Covid cluster, Move Forward Party says

 

The army should cancel this year’s military conscription because camps could become a new cluster for Covid-19, the Move Forward Party said Wednesday, after the army started training recruits and requested thousands of vaccines last week.

 

“Why doesn’t the military sacrifice a little and not train recruits right now while the pandemic is taking place,” said Rangsiman Rome, a member of the Move Forward Party and a current parliamentarian.

 

“The conditions in an army camp and in the prisons are not different, we’ve seen what could happen in the prisons and that can also happen in the army camps.

Rumour has it that Bangkok Area is on the cusp of a SIGNIFICANT lockdown.

 

The Delta (Indian) variant is running rife now and cases could see an exponential rise. The Thai's are obviously anticipating this as they're building a field hospital for 5000 at the airport.

 

A real storm is brewing and it's about to get MUCH worse.

Do you have a source for this or is it pure speculation?

Indeed you did, and recently you have been towing that line.

previously you have been indicating that the number of hospital beds being used was an indication of the rate of spread. That has actually never been the case

Rumours are like covid, they can spread exponentially especially with certain variants.

The temp machine at my local convenience where you stick in your hand and get temp. taken and get sprayed showed me at 30^oC. Very close to death due to hypothermia with an outside temp of around 38^oC. Another occasion at a 711 someone kept showing high. Girl behind counter said put the alcohol on your hand and do it again. Miracle of all miracles the persons temp instantly went down.

I’m surprised that the parliamentarian didn’t make the point that the thousands of vaccines requested by the army could be used on at risk people rather than healthy young folk.

 

and he is right, why conscript people now and put them in Covid friendly conditions? It’s not like they contribute to national defense at all if they haven’t even done basic training.
