Thailand's Vaccine Tracker (July 31, 2021) About 5.82% of the population is fully vaccinated. 13,640,179 (+414,946) people have received the first dose, while 3,851,453 (+65,209) have been fully inoculated. #วัคซีนโควิด19 #COVID19 #ล็อกดาวน์ #KE

The total doses administered yesterday (480,155) looks to be the highest single day total since Thailand began back in late February. 

 

Be interested to know / hear if /when / where the U.S. donated Pfizer doses begin to enter the process.

74% of the infections, in this case, were from fully vaccinated. 
 

Here is a proper thought experiment for you. If only 50% of them were vaxed, what % of infections would you guess would be vaxed? That’s not rhetorical, go ahead and answer. 

That's not a rhetorical question, it's an impossible question to answer. No-one can predict what percentage of a vaccinated 50% section of a particular population will become infected - it depends on way too many variables.

 

Whereas my question is not only possible to answer, it has an inevitable answer.

 

It's also the wrong question to ask - the real issue is how much less likely are you to get seriously ill, hospitalised or die if you're vaccinated as opposed to if you're unvaccinated.

 

And the data shows that you're much less likely to get seriously ill or die if you're vaccinated than if you're not.

Anutin says vaccination of 1.000.000 people every day (Very good), as an example; that would be to vaccinate 1000 people at 1000 different venues every day seven days a week. (possible yes). Requirement 30.000.000 doses a month. Where are those coming from (impossible as of now) and that would result in the whole population in Thailand would be vaccinated within 2,5 month with the first jab and the second within 5 months from now . I hope for all of us this will happened but the key is supply of vaccin... also note that children need to be vaccinated... EVERYONE NEED TO BE VACCINATED, look at US. with the antiwax movement , easy on a peace of paper but the reality is different.

Up, up and away...

 

For the day, self referred cases (in blue) down from the peak two days ago, but outreach testing cases (in yellow) up.

 

The self-referred aspect could be related to the hospitals running out of capacity and turning away / refusing to treat walk-ins, as various have said they're doing. No way to know for sure.

they don't realise that being open honest and transparent will benefit everyone - trying to hide this is down right dangerous - poeple might actuall give some credit to the government if they were totally truthful, they also need to address PCR testing capacity, waiting and thinking this is going away soon is an error.

 

It would also put an end to the constant speculation the government are complaining about if the people believed what they were being told.

 

It is paramount that the public are kept well informed of infection rates in the area they live to enable them to make informed decisions about their own safety measures 

 

also they said they ordered 10m Pf vaccines yesterday - it should have been 50m and at least 50m of AZ - what are they thinking.

being honest and transparent is not in their DNA, pardon the pun

Indeed. Those are lost in the ether. I suppose they are using the same logic as they first used with the prison cases. They don’t count because they are sealed in and not part of the general population.
A particularly elastic stretch of the imagination.

New case growth in outlying provinces continuing to outpace the new cases in Bangkok and its five adjoining provinces:

 

In the MoPH graphic below, total domestic cases are the red line, Bangkok and its five adjoining provinces are the blue line, and the other 71 provinces are the green line. The other 71 provinces now account for 60% of current cases vs. 40% for Bangkok+five.

 

Right now appears to be the widest spread between the outlying provinces (gaining) over the Bangkok region provinces in share of cases since the outset of the pandemic.

Bangkok province update for the day:

 

A rebound upward in new cases from the prior day, but still below the record highs of earlier in the week - 3,997 on July 28.  The 64 new deaths reported for Bangkok brings the province's total to 2,398.

I find this quite strange. He knows reopening to tourists is a big thing. Not some small provincial decision. And he can see the Covid situation in Thailand generally and in neighboring Phuket. Why only a 14 day postponement? Based on current evidence it’s unlikely that the environment will change much in just two weeks. And even if there some improvement over the next two weeks, surely you would wait so as to be sure. Why not just delay a month, or better still, indefinitely until the Covid situation meets predefined metrics.

That's a very high figure and difficult to believe. However many entered none snuck in and all went through quarantine. Nonetheless Australia has Delta.

I read on an ABC news that a FedEx crew flew in, not quarantined and possibly they and their unmasked taxi driver brought in virus (D??)

This is today's vaccinations update for Bangkok province, showing the vaccinations up through yesterday, including a breakdown by type of vaccine given:

 

For the latest day, shows first shots are outnumbering second shots by more than 10 to 1 --  116,791 vs 10,830 (the light shaded second column). And AZ vaccines are the vast majority of those being given in Bangkok, with no mention of Pfizer thus far.

Am not. 60 million or so people outside of bangkok, not with the same population density, but still a lot more than in Bangkok itself. If people move around, there are more hosts outside of Bangkok, than in it.

If it wasn't for the pesky weekends and holidays then over a million more people could have been jabbed in the same 8 day period listed here based on what they are capable of on a normal day.

Are you saying there is a cover up happening now? I would suggest the cover ups have been happening from the beginning. These are lying self serving (I can't say what I truly think) ###### who care only about their own positions, power and wealth. Nothing and I mean nothing should be seen as the truth with these ++++++++++++###############!

Absolutely awful. This Indian variant has been horrific. 

 

Out of all this i still don't understand how the virus entered Thailand - is it safe to assume the borders were never secure at any point? The unstable situation in India and Myanmar was probably the route into Thailand. Surely those borders should have been manned with the military. 

...how about corrupt border officials, army personnel, police, van drivers etc. etc allowing the continual flow of illegal immigrants form poor and suppressed countries who were not tested.

According to BP 26 JULY and Dr. Apisamai the rise in cases in Northeast provinces is due to relocators from Bangkok and its vicinity. Maybe those infected or otherwise who want to relocate to their home provinces in large part have already done so.
