The hits just keep coming in the north of Issan it appears. Hope all stay safe and vaccinations arrive soon.

And how many of those vaccinated are foreigners outside Bangkok, Phuket and Chang Mai! e.g Isaan!!!!!!

One jab of what?

Oh yeah, that other stuff.

A bet the testing capacity in the rural areas is great....shall we multiple the known positives by 10?

Is there a site that lists cases by Province (every one ) .

So to cut out the other numbers 4.8m (about 7% of total population) are fully vaccinated. I would love to see the split - Old/Sick/HiSo/Expats/sandbox waste and other GDP driven causes.

I am having my first AstraZeneca jab today at 3 pm I applied on there new web site last Friday for the Samitvej Sriracha Hospital I phoned up This Monday gone and asked if they had received my application seeing when one clicks the send tab on the Government site it just goes and says nothing as to if a confirmation that the site had sent it. The Nurse I talked to was well spoken in English and said she would follow it up for me and she would call back when she knew more info. I told her I was all so a customer of there Hospital and gave her my hospital number. The next day she call and told me that I was excepted for the jab on Friday today at 3 pm and to bring my passport with me. So very fast and she also confirmed by email of this appointment. Hope this helps and gives others Hope I am 74.

Glad to hear you are getting a vaccine - 74yo must have been stressful for you

75 mil doses to go until end of the year. Probably Feb of 2022. Already bought tickets to fly home. Return next year fully vaccinated

The Issan situation  is so revealing of the flawed Thai thinking. 

 

Vaccinating Bangkok and shifting the infections to the Provinces is a sad stupidity. 

 

Containing the epidemic at the country level would have required a stringent lockdown of the deep read provinces,  country wide vaccination by risk group, allowing travel only for fully vaccinated people and medical emergencies.

 

Maybe it wasn't flawed thinking, just utter contempt of the Bangkokians for the Provinces and their cheap labor.

Just something I dont get, probably discussed already but the Thai authorities fully vaccinate a Thai national, who then travels outside Thailand and is forced to quarantine upon returning in ASQ for 2 weeks? Is that like saying " we vaccinate you but dont reckon its worth a dam" ????

Am I missing something?

A fully vaccinated person can still catch and spread the virus, the main difference is the vaccinated person should avoid serious illness and hospitalisation.

 

Also it looks like some vaccines are not able to deal with certain variants.

 

 

 

I don't get their figures. Surely ~22m refers to the number of jabs given, not the number of people jabbed. Those jabbed twice are amongst the same group of people jabbed once. So they've jabbed ~17m once, and ~4m of that ~17m, twice. The second jabbers aren't an additional 4m people. They're just 4m of the 17m people with a single jab receiving a second jab.

vaccinated people are not treated the same way in all countries.  that is for sure.  the vaccinated can carry the virus and spread it to others so thailand requires quarantine.  other countries allow vaccinated arrivals, no quarantine.  and i think some countries block arrivals from certain countries period, not even an option for quarantine (regardless of vaccination status).

Chonburi has much higher per capita rate than Bangkok

BKK is 7 times larger than Chonburi (if population figures can be trusted)

Bangkok 4,854

 Chonburi 1,666 if same population, would have 11,662 new cases

Can't speak for other areas

I suppose gov perhaps afraid to post per capita rates, or perhaps didn't learn what that means in school

My colleague's aunt, just got Covid. It scared the c**p out of the family members for about a day. Non of them are vaccinated. They got tested and were all clear. The aunt is currently in a very very bad way on a ventilator in some Gov't hospital. It doesn't seem to have dissuaded any of them. They are all sitting around doing sweet fanny adams and drinking at 11am in the morning and socialising as if they dodged a bullet. No masks, no a care in the world. Half of them overweight and diabetic. You can't fix stupid.

Only been 9 months since this largely hit the fan starting with Samut Sakhon, apparently he's got pen to paper and something on order.

But Karma can.

The report starts off with how many have had jabs then deviates to the worst hit cases by province, why don't they tell us the jabs given in each province

They were tested and shown to be clear. No worries now, carry on as usual. TiT

22 Million Vaxxed with a single dose of Sinosoup is hardly some kind of special achievement.

Neither is the 4. 8 Million who have received 2 Doses of Vaccine, from a population of nearly 70 Million if all Foreign Workers, Expats Etc are included.

18 Months to prepare and this is the result

Bear in mind, these numbers don't show the local transmissions which for me is the most important measure, they are the total of local, requesting to come back and arrivals from other areas. 

So over six months, 22,000,000 jabs. Being generous, that works out to about 4,000,000 per month. In a country of 70,000,000 people. All of whom should get at least two jabs. Even if you take those too young to receive a jab out of the equation, you either need to to step up the jabs, remove people from the equation (maybe just let them get sick and pass?), or hunker down for more than the next 3 years. PLEASE tell me my math is wrong. Thailand can't stand this process for 3 more years.
