How about considering vaccinating ALL folks living in Thailand?

With a vaccine that actually works

a more widespread lockdown could be in the offing throughout the country as Covid-19 infections remain high.

The wild horses have already been let out the Bkk gate at Songkran.

Daily cases reported as over 7k today, deaths 75, 10,000 a day not far away.

And the doctors say the true figure is probably three times that.

If you slowly boil a frog in water by turning up the heat slowly, he will let you cook him to death without trying to escape.

Tactic being used to instill lockdowns.

If you didn't have the news, just lived life as normal...would you even know there was anything different than the past 10 years of illnesses?

So, what's the Czar's current game plan?

 

1. Won't lockdown = let's let it spread unchecked,

 

2. Won't order 120 million competent vaccines (just doing dribs and drabs of a few million) = let's get "herd immunity" the old-fashioned way i.e. everyone just get it.

Worrying how many people on this forum are advocating stronger lockdowns

Mainly by people who will not be affected by them!

I'm not sure that making sense is allowed here, sir.

I'll be affected greatly if I can't get out of the country.

Ikr. It's old guys living off their pensions whose incomes and day to day lives won't change with or without stricter restrictions.

 

Everybody gotta sacrifice so they can drink one more beer, watch one more movie, and sit on one more patio watching the world go by one more time.

regardless how many lock downs they have they all will have the same ending as they are not done properly, so one more one less it's all same same.... when a fruit tree is not producing what it was intended to do, the best and easy solution is to cut the roots off 

(Sarcasm and double meaning)

How about you lock down the entire cabinet and all high ranked officials before they are able to sabotage the nation any further.

 

And make sure Cha Cha stays at home for the rest of the year, and cut off his phones and internet connections. Lock the doors from the outside, and seal up all the windows too, and have Anutin join him. At that point, there is a possibility of some forward progress. 

 

Don't even talk to us about making more sacrifices. It is time you clowns stepped up. 

 

 

If they would just OK booze online ordering and delivery again I would not care, I would be happy to lock myself down as long as they want.

Just go to makro and buy a box of your favourite beer

What are the infection numbers in Phuket now?  Not the foreigners coming in, but the locals living / residing there.  Prayut came into close contact with an infected person so there must be more ... how many?

 

Why aren't these numbers being announced (or did I miss this stat?)?

Yes keep announcing weeks ahead of time they gonna lock down the place so it gives all the people infected time to leave and spread it I would truly love to be vaccinated the only problem in Thailand is owners can’t seem to get it TAT

Why not? Sounds like great idea. Worked so well the last few times it was attempted.

When they locked down tight the first time, it appeared to work very well. Reported cases went to zero, no hospitalizations, done and done. Then they reopened the borders without preparing a national vaccination campaign and now we're worse off then we were at the beginning.

The borders were only opened to Covid free people .

I expect that the previous zero cases reported was because of lack of people being tested 

The decision-makers are really dumb as a rock

 

Why make it easy, when it can be difficult.

 

Just get the vaccine and use it. I mean the real one, not this one from China.

We were locked down for a solid six weeks, far beyond the incubation period. For all practical purposes, Covid was eradicated.

... but if everybody is vaccinated. Nobody can get symptoms

I think they may be concerned because they are at risk of severe Covid symptoms.

Thailand never had a full lock-down , just had curfews and restrictions in place . 

  No one can say whether Covid was or wasnt eradicated because the lack of tests being done .

Another misconception. A vaccination prevents the majority of recipients from deadly symptoms, most of the vaccines prevent 100% hospitalizations. You can still have symptoms after getting the jab and you can still transmit the virus. Until people understand that, we'll never stomp out Covid.
