Well, if you call vaccinating most of the medical staff with Sinovac "getting it right"...  ????

 

And now having to go back and give all of them 3rd shots of either AZ or Pfizer (that if they had done it right in the first place, otherwise could have been used among the general public).

Well, the list was right, the implementation a requires improvement. 5555

The biggest issue by far is the closure of Factories.

Many of them are involved in Export production, and this is the only stream of revenue that is entering into the Government Coffers at the moment.

I guess it can affect factories that are mostly in labour intensive industries like in garment, food etc. These industries are however not contributing much to total exports. Machinery, vehicles, equipment etc which are produced with automation and with less labour contribute to the bulk of export revenues. These companies which are mostly foreign owned are also better in managing their factories. Perhaps there are lessons post COVID for labour intensive factories which are mostly Thai owned to install more automation and rely less on cheap labour.

Each province's daily domestic COVID-19 cases update in Thailand on Sunday

Total: 15,316

Samut Prakan becomes the third Thai province, after Bangkok and Samut Sakhon, to report more than 1,000 new COVID cases in a single day.

 

Next in line, more than likely, Phetchabun...

Gone from as low as 25 only 22 days ago to 88 today huh? Or are you just highlighting that after the 3 record breaking previous three days, there is currently a one day dip to 88?

 

Or, we just draw our own conclusions from the information presented? that seems fair enough.

As noted those are numbers for a province with a population of 1.8 million. totaling 2358 since April 1.

The walk-in COVID cases number is exploding...almost 12,000 today (11,759). Same number yesterday, 9,714.  Day over day increase, 2,045 cases.

Brought up in the other thread, if you are going to impose a restriction to save lives, why wouldn’t forbidding up and down movement on elevators for the healthy be the first thing to close? For sure elevators are more dangerous than parks and beaches. So what gives? 
 

Oh, that’s right. We don’t actually wanna impose efficacious orders when people are dying. Makes a lot of sense.

Vaccinations update by target group:

 

Note: the percentages below are NOT the amounts of those total populations vaccinated. The percentages ARE share of the government's lesser 70% target goals that have been vaccinated thus far.

 

The one thing that stands out to me below is... how far they still have to go, and how little they've done thus far, in vaccinating the most vulnerable age 60 and above population, only 19% of their goal having received a first shot, and just over 1% of their goal having received both shots.

 

But hey, more than 70% of Phuket's population has received their first shot, and they're open to vaccinated tourists again, so life is GOOD!  ????

If they had done it properly and targeted those that need it most, they could have done more than 80% of over 60's by now, but instead they gave it to the general public? What a really stupid decision

Since the outset, their vaccination priorities, both what they said and what they actually did, have swerved all over the map like a drunken sailor... You gotta pick the day of the week to know what the priority is at any point in time (almost!) ????

That's what happens when you don't restrict travel outside of cluster areas.

That's also what happens when you don't focus on vaccinating areas outside of Bangkok and deep red zones in order to stop infections from spreading. Why aren't the provinces getting more vaccines?  Is the government waiting until the entire country becomes a deep red zone?  When that happens that will certainly encourage tourism won't it?  The government keeps focusing on tourist cash inflows instead of saving lives and stopping the spread of the virus.  It is putting the cart before the horse as usual.  A vaccinated populace means fewer infections and deaths which means the country becomes more attractive to travelers.

When I read your post and then think about what this Government thinks truly of the lower class of people it makes me angry knowing that it may be a form of allowed genocide.  Just shocking to think like this, but if it was only to allow them to go home and live together because they could pool their resources then I could buy it, but then my mind turns to the darkness that I believe pervades the minds of those in power.  Sorry, but I had to say what was on my mind and how I feel.

The Gangsters running the country; and i mean those pulling the strings of the Puppets in Government House, don't care if a few million 'Sheeple' die.   Why would they as it makes no difference to their cozy positions or their Bank Balances and lessens the possibilty that any of the deceased might join protest groups which are bound to be on the streets when all this Covid is dealt with !

9th April - Bars ordered closed in Chonburi and no alcohol to be served in restaurants.  Number of cases = 34

Any explanation as to why these measures have made the situation so much worse?  

In the UK 8% of road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.  Therefore 92% are caused by sober drivers, which leads to a conclusion that driving while drunk is safer. 

 

Same "logic" as you show here.

Lady drinks.? Well I think I might have done once a long time ago. 

Newly reported cases in Bangkok (2,700) -- the second line on the chart below -- declined Sunday for the second consecutive day, even while national numbers continued setting new record highs.

 

And Bangkok province's daily numbers remained below the record highs set earlier in the month of nearly 3,200.

 

However, Bangkok province this week also passed the 2,000 cumulative COVID deaths number for the first time, reaching a total of 2,095 as of Sunday. That's more than half of Thailand's national total of COVID fatalities at 4,059.

 

The 66 new COVID deaths reported for Bangkok on Sunday was one of its highest daily totals thus far in the pandemic. The daily high thus far for Bangkok, I believe, was 71 deaths reported on July 17.

Massive fail by the incompetent government who are watching Thailand spiral into a catastrophic disaster as soon they will be at 50,000 new cases a day, perhaps by August 01. It’s headed for over 100,000 per day with no plan! Lockdowns alone will not solve it, they need to spend some of that money they hold in reserve because propping up the Baht won’t help Thailand survive this disaster???? All I hear is going to, looking at, talking with when it comes to buying vaccine……….time for action????

These people are but the tip of the Iceberg when it comes to ways of either avoiding, or downright ignoring of any Covid measures.

 

Like what "ways" specifically? 

 

Ya know, in a pandemic like this one, every single individual has a responsibility for doing the "right thing" and when they don't, there are BIG consequences that are paid for by all.  It only takes ones irresponsible person to create a mass-spreader event, just one single person has the power to do that.

Your last paragraph says it all one year ago ! Dare I say if they had ordered and payed for200 million vaccines a year ago and started vaccinating the public when they arrive in the Kingdom things would be very different but they the government chose not to that to me is down to utter incompetence they sat on there backsides thinking that they had got away with Covid but now the $#IT has hit the fan and it appears they have gone into hiding 

It was all about money to be made and political wrangling back in December.  Nobody had a clue how bad thing could get or how quickly it could happen. 

 

I guess the powers-that-be were all lulled into a false sense of security based on how well we all fared through 2020 here in Thailand, and not focusing on what might be lurking over the horizon.

 

I guess the mark of a good political leader is how effectively they plan for the future, not merely react to the past.

Currently in Sweden and how it would possibly look in Thailand if the dear PM Prayuth concentrated on buying vaccines instead of vasting time and efforts enforcing lock downs all the times

"Very easy actually."This is your reply saying that it is very easy to implement an "effective" travel restriction.I ask how you would very easily implement an effective travel restriction, provincial or other, remembering that crucial supplies must be maintained in and out of Bangkok.You don't seemed to have satisfactorily supplied your very easy method.I did mention OZ and those that ordered it and those that implemented it said it was extremely difficult.In the case of the Vic "ring of Steel" the police have said they don't want to do it again because it was too difficult.In the case of the Thai provincial restriction would you say that it's effective?Sure it's easy to say there are restrictions in place but can supply any evidence of their effectiveness?Can you say that it was easy for anyone to order and enforce even the limited restrictions that are now in place?Management control 101 you say but is it effective management control 101 or is it a sad joke?
