Thailand on Wednesday (July 28) reported 16,533 new COVID-19 cases and 133 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. 


● 16,331 new infections
● 202 prison / prison infections


Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 543,361 with 4,397 deaths. 


(Total infections since April 1: 514,498)


The news comes as an immunogenicity study, conducted in Germany, shows the mixed use of viral vector and mRNA vaccines induces a significantly high level of anti-spike and neutralizing antibodies, close to the level induced by two doses of mRNA vaccine, according to Professor Dr. Manop Pithukpakorn, head of the Excellence Centre for Genomics and Precision Medicine at Siriraj Hospital.

 

Dr. Manop cited the immunogenicity study, published in the Nature Medicine journal, which was a comparative study between two cohorts, one administered with viral vector AstraZeneca (AZ) and one of the two mRNA vaccines, Pfizer or Moderna, and another administered with two doses of Pfizer or Moderna.

Don't forget, In Thailand vaccinations 56% maybe means 56% had one shot.

But yes I agree with you, that even if they count only first shot, then this sounds still like too high!


More like 56% of the target 70% of the population as counted in the 2010 census.

Given the amount of large spaces in Bangkok that are not in use, malls etc, that they cram everyone to Bang Sue is beyond belief really.  Each day you only need a few asymptomatic  people in amongst those crowds and it'll go through them like wildfire.

Spaced out chairs for all from start to finish, moving from one chair to the other, not standing in queues where social distancing is impossible.  A bit like musical chairs. 

 

That would solve the problem.

Additionally they are talking about the App for making appointments for those 18 and above, but the caveat seems that it is geared towards Thais....

 

In their Monday EN news briefing, the government spokesman said the Bang Sue vaccinations program would be expanded to cover for the first time the under age 60 group for foreign nationals, presumably the same six BKK region provinces, starting in early August.

 

That's going to be via some kind of pre-registration scheme. But they haven't said as yet what that's going to be or how it's going to work. Slim on the details for now.

The government says they're currently doing +-20,000 vaccinations per day there, vast majority being Thais, not foreigners.

The first “Covid-Express” left #Bangkok yesterday taking #COVID19 patients with mild symptoms back to their home province in the lower region of Isaan. Onboard the train were 12 doctors and nurses. The patients were collected at each station and taken to hospital ( MTC.22.ubon)

Via Google Translate:

 

1:10 p.m. Standing for 5 minutes is already a risk. This has to stand for more than 1-2-3 hours, still not clear. to solve the problem how overwhelming people Some people return to their homes during the lockdown period. Now back to vaccination.
