ArcticFox Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Most people in Thailand can't grasp that a 10,000 fold increase in testing is followed by a 10,000 fold increase in cases. Boy, just wait until all those antigen tests can be bought in pharmacies. Then a 30,000 fold increase in testing will be followed by a 30,000 fold increase in cases. And they think it's worrisome now. Just wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Reported post removed and response to it. Posts denigrating and calling Chinese vaccines useless and referring to it with derogatory names have been removed. Whilst it may be less effective in certain cases ie Delta strain it is by no means useless. At the end of the day this is a government sponsored vaccine and the forum and or yourself can get in trouble for comments like this so stop it.

Popular Post John Drake Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 Difficult to determine who is melting down faster, Thai general population or TVFers. I give a slight nod to the TVFers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont confuse me Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 If infected people hits 30,000 a day that's about 0.05% of the population, which if it goes unchecked is potentially a serious problem. You have to treat the virus with respect, mask up, keep social distancing, and keep your hands disinfected. Also a good idea to carry a little disinfectant spray to sanitise anything your going to handle, (like shopping trolleys). If you can do this it would really help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard the Poo Yai on the loudspeaker this morning telling us that a field hospital was being established only 3km from our home. I live in rural Phetchabun, and we have had very few Covid cases over the last 18 months. yes i live just outside just a few km from the bus station in phetch been hearing s lot of stuff lately.. Seemed this place was safe Seemed i was wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a very fit and active person but that seems to be no protection against getting it or having mild symptoms. Thank you for your supportive comment. I am sure he is feeling remorseful and crappy for suggesting that it was Sino.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think this is an appropriate time for a: no <deleted> Sherlock. it is bad, and obviously getting worse. The Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister is noticeable by his absence. Perhaps just as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is the same with other illnesses. The key is that he is feeling out of sorts at home and not overloading the hospital system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dogmatix Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 Only the antivaxxer nutters think the situation is wonderful as they believe a skyrocketing of infections and deaths will lead to herd immunity. But that didn't happen with smallpox and polio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It seems that some posters think the USA and Canada have all been vaccinated. Well that is a barefaced lie. There are many states that only a low percentage have had both their vaccines, as well as some provinces in Canada. Besides there have been no children younger than 12 that have had a single vaccination. In LA the delta variant is making lots of people sick, and still killing of some who have not had any vaccine. There are some religious groups that do not want the vaccine. There are some other anti vaxxers who just do not trust the vaccine as well. I hope that the governments all over the world make it mandatory that people either get vaccinated, or have very restricted lives, and cannot leave where they are living. No one needs a COVID Mary to keep spreading any form of the COVID virus. Think Typhoid Mary, for those who are just waking up. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 If nearly 40 percent of Thais do not think that the COVID pandemic is a serious event. There is no help for these people. Of course most of them may be lucky enough to not die if they catch COVID, but there will be a percentage of them that do die, so I guess we will keep seeing the numbers keep rising for a while yet.

meechai Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Quote Majority of People Think Current COVID-19 Situation in Thailand Is Extremely Serious What is really serious is a total loss of humanity due to fear mongering How can an people drop on the sidewalk & none be allowed to help him? Why also was body left on road for what 12 hours? Thailand has much more to fear than a virus if elders are left on the road like yesterdays road kill. None willing or allowed to help because of irrational over reaction to a 99% survivable virus.....This is Insanity at its finest & a total loss of humanity/kindness/compassion https://www.sanook.com/news/8414330/ Translated but not exactly https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sanook.com%2Fnews%2F8414330%2F These are not the total facts either. Many on scene reported on social media not being allowed to help etc ...So a few did want to render aid but Police refused due to covid Edited July 21, 2021 by meechai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
