Stop wasting time and money with Sinovac!!!! Do your jobs and protect the people in the country already!!! Hang on a minute. Somebody has to make some money out of this.

garygooner Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 People advised to only go out if necessary. You can still go to the office if you can't work from home. What exactly are the new restrictions? What about pools, parks, gyms, beaches, hair salons? Is the only change 50% capacity for public transportation? As clear as mud as usual.

Her boss died of covid 10 days ago, so i am praying that she only has some kind of flu. I think that se had the Sinovac injection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand doesnt have any other options at the moment and thus one cant be too radical like you And 3 jabs x how many million people equals how many million jabs. The only problem is that Thailand does not have that many million vaccines and is unlikely to acquire them in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the rest of the western world but in the UK there are free food banks for people with little or no money . Government protection against non payment of house rent and energy bills . Free covid testing and also free DIY home test kits available from most pharmacies . None of the aforementioned exist in Thailand . The military government is taking care of its own and the very rich whilst the man in the street is just a number .The Thai foreign reserves are rich and will not be touched at any cost soas to keep the Thai baht strong at any cost , so we will always fail to understand the Thai way of thinking unless we put money as the first consideration . Chinese thinking outweighs all in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco100 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 4 hours ago, Whale said: I forecast big changes and restrictions implemented on Monday or Tuesday. I don't see any other way. Theres so many people (Thai and Foreign) who are ignoring the current recommendations that theres no other way now. The restrictions must be legally binding and enforced, until more are vaccinated. I was just at my local Tesco, Chang was flying off the shelves with people buying case loads. I hope theres no booze ban, life has so few pleasures left at the moment. Since the Population is not vaccinated I presume the only way is total lockdown to stop the highly infectious Delta Variant or Hospitals and hospitalizations will be a massive problem ...

Stargeezr Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Huckenfell, I am glad that your partner stayed at the hospital as they have oxygen there that will help her breathing problems, as well as staff and other medications that can help. Difficulty in breathing is one huge reason to be in the hospital. Even a normal flu does not affect your breathing like the COVID does. There are still a few posters that will say, Oh it is just like the flu. They are extremely lucky if they really had COVID and did not get the bad symptoms. I think that Thailand will have many more people get COVID with the Delta variant and Lambda variant now in the country. The pandemic is not over for sure.

The only problem is that Thailand does not have that many million vaccines and is unlikely to acquire them in the near future. Its now possible to pre-order the moderna vaccine via several private hospitals. They are telling us that we can get it by the year end. I just bought one for my wife and staff. Personally I will wait for the P jab or J&J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
