Where are the donated  Pfizer vaccines?  It shouldn't take a week to get out to all the frontline workers.

We can't even get an accountability of the 1.5 million doses of Pfizer from this Gov.  This isn't enough to stop this trend, but it is a start!

[anchadian]

Did the report say the 1.5 million donated doses are in the country already?  Donated does not necessarily mean they have arrived in country...

If there was ANY accountability then we would know wouldn't we?

You don't need to try to make excuses (or obfuscation) for this Gov, they do a smashing job already!

23 thousand new infections every day is absolutely brutal.  I know everyone is getting used to these numbers but this is astronomical.  

People are certainly dying without any medical care.

They are here and they are being administered.

 

The question is to whom.

[anchadian]

Most cases today are again in #Bangkok (5,161), followed by Samut Prakan (1,936), Samut Sakhon (1,847), Chonburi (1,424), Nonthaburi (765), Ubon (538), Nakhon Pathom (533), Buriram (530), and Ayutthaya (530).

Here are the Sisaket numbers as reported yesterday. Yesterday 623 covid infections were reported which is a massive 633% increase in the previous day's total - put Sisaket at number 4 or 5. No chance of Sisaket moving to deep dark scary red as this would mean the general paying ISSAN people something. Remember folks as the CCP say "one country 2 systems".

I boggles the mind how uninformed the average Joe is, but insists he is the final arbiter of the 'misery' in Thailand. Gawd, facts are soooooo boring and inconvenient to the sky-is-falling crowd...... /S

 

The mortality rate in Thailand is very low:

And today in another OP running currently a Senior Advisor to the MOPH and Anutin has come out stating that the Covid infections numbers are more than likely higher than being reported.  Yes folks the numbers we see here are not the totals, oh who would have believed that one, yes sarcasm in my tone.  Today as we took our Friday morning walk, and took care of the folks we do, I noticed a long que of people by the Silom MRT station next to Lumpini Park.  There were attendants dressed in the PPE clothes handing out paperwork, and so it appears they were doing more pop up testing.  Probably had a few hundred lined up.  

 

The numbers are increasing daily and nowhere near the downtrend stated for here in Bangkok as you can see with 5,161 cases, and nowhere near the crest of this wave.  My view is that it will be awhile longer before we start to see daylight and the numbers come down.  Waiting to see how the outer provinces are doing with todays numbers as well.

 

Stay safe folks and hopefully everyone can get vaccinated sooner rather than later.  Waiting on the GF's PCR test results from Wednesday to ensure she can see her doctor on Sunday, and today is the day the daughter will be retested and given a chest x'ray to see if she has truly recovered and then can come home to us.  These are very trying times as we all can see.  On a positive note it is a beautiful day today here in BKK.  Take care and enjoy what you can.

Sadly Vietnam continues to see numbers rise.

That is a known fact, the question is whether Thailand is hiding identified cases.  Every country out there you are going to have mostly identified cases in the totals... and there will be another group of significant cases that are not identified because they are asymptomatic... this is where most community cases that they cannot trace the origins come from... (so called unlinked I believe).  They can estimate how much of the population based on statistical sampling and serology testing, but they are not part of the official numbers.

Forever the optimist you are, numbers are underreported and unfortunately so are deaths.  Many have been dying at home here as well.  You see it differently then those of us who are living amongst the issues obviously.  I see the suffering daily here in BKK as well as see and hear from folks we know, as well as the news regarding folks passing.  The home isolation may be good for some, but unfortunately it is a long road to recovery as we are finding out with my GF's daughter and all of the GF's relatives who are still suffering from one aspect of covid or another after being released from the hospitals and surviving being on ventilators.  To say we are uninformed is about right for someone who thinks that facts are just sooooo boring.

As well as many other countries unfortunately.  Lets see what happens with the additional doses of Pfizer that the US just donated along with $5 million USD in aid to the country.  The US has also donated to Vietnam as well:

I was led to believe the Vaccines were already in the Country, and that they were destined to start administering them as of 9 th August ( after several Days of delay for some reason )

So the question is did he die from the injection causing him to have an asthmatic attack or from an allergic reaction. Just to coincidental unfortunarely.

Well, they would have had to go through 43,000 entries and check your passport against their records and once all that is verified the records (there would likely be a second person above them that would verify the verification was correct, sign off on it).  These approved records would have to be transferred to the MoPH, then MoPH would then identify the location against what vaccines are available to that area, book your appointment tentitively... then these would be handed over to IT that would be responsible for sending out the email/SMS and have ready some way to confirm the appointment online and once it is confirmed then those that are confirmed would be passed back to the people responsible for these appointments.

In my opinion the " average Joe " that is living in Thailand right now, and has probably done so for some Years has the knowledge of what is happening inside the Country first hand.
