Families loosing children and Children loosing both parents is becoming an occurrence here in Thailand. Social services must also be at the breaking point as more folks are having it extremely rough with loosing jobs and also being infected. Story on the news just a few ago was about a gentleman who had been released from the hospital to self isolate at home and use the medicines given. He was so stressed and felt he was being left to die that he committed suicide by drowning himself in the local pond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GF just had to do that here in BKK to see her specialist doctor. She tested on Wednesday for her appointment which is on Sunday, hopefully she gets the results back today or tomorrow. Luckily the hospital picked up the cost. I did not see if the above quoted link indicates if the hospital is doing the test for free as well in Pattaya.

But the image says number of tests looking for disease (cases). This might not include other tests used during the treatment of patients. The number of patients is also shooting up and could explain the lower number of actual PCR tests available for new cases. What is totally incomprehensible is why, after 1.5 years, they have not increased their total PCR lab capacity, reported at max 80K. It's not hard to do or expensive, You can buy PCR machines on Ebay and some people do their own home PCR tests for other things. Maybe Anutin needs to authorize the expansion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plant-based vaccine project is a collaboration between Chulalongkorn University and Baiya Phytopharm Ltd. It uses a subunit protein extracted from tobacco leaves to mimic Covid-19 and trigger an immune response in recipients. The project launched in February 2020 and has since produced successful results in rats and monkeys. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40004626 Edited August 13, 2021 by anchadian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
