Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted August 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2021 Looks like Thais are going mushroom hunting into Laos, and want to be caught. It seems that the Laos government are then quarantining them after they have been arrested and then vaccinating them with the Pfizer vaccine. This has apparently made it onto social media and many folks have gone to the Lao border trying to gain entry into the country in order to be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. Just watched the story on the Channel 32 news. I find it interesting that people would enter another country to get vaccinated free with the MRNA vaccine because their own government has failed them. I do know that those that are well off have been flying to the US for the free vaccine, but now the less fortunate have found a way to also be vaccinated as well. This has to just upset this Government to no end. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the headline of the thread today is wrong.... the deaths daily bounce up and down, so day to day changes don't mean much. And there's no indication that today's deaths tally represents any kind of downward trend. But the broader trends are more instructive: The past five days death numbers -- 117, 178, 133, 178, 147 Same for the first five days of July -- 57, 61, 41, 44, 50 Double to triple those of a month ago.

Popular Post itsari Posted August 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2021 5 hours ago, buick said: if you compare thailand with india, adjusting for population. the current numbers are approaching what india had at their peak. 20,000 cases in thailand, times 20 for population adjustment, is 400,000 for india. and deaths is similar, 200 for thailand (roughly) is 4,000/day for india (their peak). the total cases and deaths in thailand are still way behind but i think almost halfway so MAYBE close to a peak and experience the same amount of cases/deaths that we've had so far on the way up as we go back down. we'll see what happens but that is how it stacks up to india right now and of course all is based on reported numbers which never capture the true numbers. Official death rate for covid 19 for India was 440,000 . Unofficial rate is between 3.5 million and 4.5 million . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wasn't one of their clan at Krystal Club or some other VIP nightclub in Bangkok, caught COVID and then did a runner back to Buriram to concoct a story about where he had been, in total defiance of any contact tracing and without taking any sort of responsibility for his actions?
