PM: Things will be better in 4-6 weeks; Anutin: We'll be vaxxing 1 million a day next month

[Phredd]

I reiterate! Prayuth, as in "Pray you Thais"

[Almer]

No discrepancy in the figures, get 10 million, use 1 million, they just pluck figures out of the sky.

[konaboy]

And the latest data is......?

[TheFishman1]

Is this guy kidding clueless TIT

and I hope the next lottery draw will have all my numbers .... he's a good for nothing type of guy that doesn't know when to quit

[bullseye66]

I have more chance of winning the lottery than Thailand has of vaccinating 1 million people per day.

[xr399]

Obviously he does not know how many 0's in 1 million ha ha ha ha ha

At one point - pehaps seeking a ray of hope amid the doom and gloom of the crisis - Prayuth asked the governors:

"Isn't anybody reporting a lowering in case numbers?"

If that doesn't sum up how out of touch he is, nothing does. He has no clue about case numbers. And he 'hopes' things will be better in 4-6 weeks. As do 70 million other Thais too. Hoping doesn't assist much though, does it. I thought my native UK had been useless in dealing with the pandemic (bar the outstanding vaccination programme), but the complete ignorance and ineptitude of this government is breathtaking.

[Dont confuse me]

Surely no one can be taking these latest claims seriously?  

I suppose two people are lol a complete and utter joke.

As for looking at what's going on in the rest of the world, perhaps the junta and clown should do that before making ridiculous statements.

I wonder what data he got ?

Get 10 million in a month and vaccinate 1 mill per day ... that month gonna be over very soon .

OK tell us what will the mix be in the 10MM shots how many AZ how many Sinoshi Sinovac ?

[curlylekan]

Anyone else ever think that if the military was not in power they would be trying to get into power right now and their excuse would be that the government is handling this situation very badly and it is important for national security that the military takes control. Then they would make sure to make criminal whoever is the person who has power. I wonder if these military politicians ever realize this or still see themselves as God's gift to Thailand

[Bundooman]

Prayuth pressed on saying: "I hope things will be better in four to six weeks according to the latest data"

Anutin chimed in that from next month Thailand would be getting 10 million doses of vaccine a month.

From where?

Transparency would go a long way for the ever suffering Thai populace.

 

And if he buys more Sinovac people are naturally going to be upset.

Had to check the calendar (again!) to be sure this wasn't an April Fool's Day joke.

Nope there are now 36 months in a year 31 have 10 days the other 5 have 11.

[johnmcc6]

How many children will go hungry waiting for things to get better? How many more suicides by the desperate and destitute?Forcing children to learn from home. No mention of how people are expected to pay for a television, a computer or pay for the monthly account. No mention of homes without power.Just more empty blah blah blah by this clown.

Keep the panic going in order to keep control.

[Forza2002]

The Fake News Police should be looking into Dumb & Dumber latest statements.

 

Prayut only a few days ago said things would improve in 2-4 weeks. Now it's 4-6 weeks.

 

Anutin states his latest plan is to Vaccinate 1M people per day next month with only 10M vaccines. Only way he can fulfill that promise is by diluting the vaccine, 2 parts saline/water and 1 part vaccine...

[kotsak]

It gets better and better..

I am surprised that there are no open riots and unrest in Bangkok and upcountry crosspoints like Chiang Mai, Korat etc. How can Thai people just simply stand by and watch silently .......... honestly? 

Open riots and unrest takes effort, risk and courage. It also requires the ability to be able to think beyond today, discuss problems and e.g. politics openly with others, without the worry of someone losing face.

 

Most Thais are raised to not discuss politics and be passive. That way they are kept in place, no matter how much they suffer.

 

So it is not surprising most just take things as they are and only younger students are starting to want change.
 

Even though they are frustrated and angry, the worst they will do it commit suicide. And that will not change anything.

 

The small shop owner in my Moobaan is a dedicated fan of the government. Why? Well, because they take her on a free trip every year. That’s all it takes to keep people in place here.

I think that there is money for vaccines it is just that these vaccines are in short supply and Thailand is way down on the list of priority by the vaccine makers who have to fulfil orders to countries which ordered before Thailand, or took part in the development programme such as the UK supporting Astra. Hindsight is a great thing but perhaps the Thai authorities were waiting to see if the vaccine was viable before  ordering (The UK placed orders before the vaccine was developed and took a fiscal risk). They have been caught out with this policy but is could be said to be a reasonable thing to do at the time, The EU did exactly he same and when the consequences of their inaction became apparent they refused to allow export of vaccines produced within the EU but supported in development by other countries who the order was destined for.

Well, I would have an idea - but that means: doing the same as the Farang:

Should of done that from day one.................................mind you no one in the West took any notice of Thailand's initial success story in controlling the original covid-19.

Y’all of little faith, so much whining. It’s a bit stormy and rough waters. It gets darkest before the dawn. This winter we’ll be buying lotsa lady drinks because opening of Thailand will go as planned.

[GrandPapillon]

not sure if that's the camera angle, but that's still a lot of people ????

There seems to be growing consternation in the international media and questions of whether these people have any idea what they're doing. Even the normally supportive reports from Al Jazeera have a growing sense of "<deleted>?" about them.

 

These guys need to wake up and realize the global spotlight is shining upon them and get reconnected with the reality of the situation.

[thailand49]

These fail prediction is why no one should ever ask them for their lucky lottery numbers!  Why can't the two of you just say what you need to say without always making some useless prediction!????  Your wives must be really frustrated?

[Isaan sailor]

Of course, they have plenty of SinoVac for everyone.  How about some of that Pfizer or Moderna?

[Sir Dude]

Complete idiots really. All you have to do is concentrate on vaccinating everyone and it'll be way better... but oh no! Can't have that. We need to profit and pander to political plus business considerations. If ever there was an example of how to completely screw-it-up due to nepotism, arrogance and incompetence, then this is it. Basically, the junta and its fan-boys have blown it. You reap what you sow.
