Popular Post webfact Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 Video screenshot After the mass vaccination rollout, governments and the public are looking forward to the reopening of borders, just like the “sandbox” project Thailand has just launched on Phuket island. Some countries have been trying out the same or similar ideas, with varying degrees of success. One of the first such countries is New Zealand, which is regarded as having handled the COVID-19 situation well. Since the early days of the pandemic, New Zealand and Australia have been studying the possibility of a bilateral travel “bubble”. All 230 Sandbox Hotels in Phuket - Book Now!

Popular Post LazySlipper Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Will they ever make up their minds? Is it more important to make money or save lives? Right now a 4th wave is imminent with the new variants... why talk of opening borders until we know where we are going?

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Nonsense article. What a joke to reference Au and NZ. In reality that 'bubble' has been on again off again. Currently in Oz there are even interstate bans. Not to mention NZ population ~5 mil in total. And what does reopen borders mean. I can't imagine I will be able to nip over to say Vietnam for a hello. So they can have 3 flights a week bkk to Samui. Gee that will kick start the economy. Complete nonsense OP. Give me some bloody vaccine.

At least the boy in Oliver Twist was able to say. “Please, sir, I want some more” is a famous quote from Oliver Twist as he asks the cook at the workhouse for more gruel. The point is I'm not asking for MORE I'm asking for my FIRST jab of gruel 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think he meant we need to go back in history in a time machine and then prepare for what's to come.

Popular Post Thomas J Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 Watching the government react to the Covid pandemic is like watching Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau solve a crime. Early on you get two people with the sniffles and there is a Covid alert, red zones, quarantines, businesses closed, alcohol sales stopped, police check points, mask mandates, airport closures etc. Now you have several thousand and they are opening the borders. Not that I don't think that opening does not make sense if the people coming in are vaccinated. It is just the ludicrous nature of watching them not being able to establish a cohesive policy. They are opening the borders while simultaneously banning the sale of alcohol between certain hours. As if Covid only spreads between 20:00 and 04:00. All this with the back drop of reports that "they are still reviewing contracts" to procure Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines. And of course lets not forget the sign up on Mor Prom and Intervac web sites. I have long said that you want the government to run as little as possible. Only those things like national defense that the private sector can not do. To look at the response begs the question, why would anyone ever think that having the government control health care is a good idea. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ezzra Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 The rate they are going it will take a year or more to put a dint into "mass vaccination" even, so this opening up the country is, right now, nothing but a wishful thinking... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 the last time it was 105mln, to add 10.5mln more sinovac. that is contracted, but dates unknown. Full 2 dose vax, with several weeks for the second dose to kick in properly, is sometimes around songran the next year. By then new strains and boosters will be needed for those on sinovac or any other poor performing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DLock Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 It's just propaganda to keep the proletariat confused that everything is in control and soon will bring much happiness and wealth to the people of Thailand. The reality is very different. This Government is so deep in the poo-poo, it's pretty much all they have left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 I suspect most of Thais (not that many) have been vaccinated with Sinovac which is not effective against the Delta (indian Variant ) which spreads easier and is a lot more serious virus. So when things are going downhill fast, Thailand is thinking of opening up..????rolling eyes emoji , as still not working...... regards Worgeordie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivebaxter Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Went with the Mrs and two neighbors to local hospital today for their sinovac jabs. Took 3 hours, not due to the numbers of people but because Mor prom kept crashing, The numbers were about 25, hardly a mass roll out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
