Thailand reports 21,882 new COVID-19 cases, 209 fatalities

[2 is 1]

Something what they dont understand in Thailand or just dont care!

 

Why is data on testing important?

No country knows the total number of people infected with COVID-19. All we know is the infection status of those who have been tested. All those who have a lab-confirmed infection are counted as confirmed cases. 

This means that the counts of confirmed cases depend on how much a country actually tests. Without testing there is no data.

Testing is our window onto the pandemic and how it is spreading. Without data on who is infected by the virus we have no way of understanding the pandemic. Without this data we cannot know which countries are doing well, and which are just underreporting cases and deaths.

To interpret any data on confirmed cases we need to know how much testing for COVID-19 the country actually does.

I am not sure what the government wants to achieve by still using AstraZeneca or even SINOVAC. Many vaccinated people or many protected people? Next week registration for expats in Pattaya starts. Available is only SINOVAC and AstraZeneca. Very bad... On top of it AstraZeneca has the blood clot risk. 

 

"Wednesday's study found that two doses of Pfizer's shot was 88% effective at preventing symptomatic disease from the Delta variant, compared to 93.7% against the Alpha variant, broadly the same as previously reported.

 

Two shots of AstraZeneca vaccine were 67% effective against the Delta variant, up from 60% originally reported, and 74.5% effective against the Alpha variant, compared to an original estimate of 66% effectiveness."

Consider yourself lucky it is even available! Those figures you quote are for symptomatic disease. The important data is preventing hospitalisations and AZ is up in the 90%. It has and continues to do wonders in the UK and around the world. As for blood clots, F a doodle do. You’re talking a minuscule amount that MIGHT be from the jab. Meanwhile, there are known heart issues caused by Pfizer and Moderna but don’t let that spoil your childish narrative.

Better than the UK and 3 x more efficient than the US on a per capita basis…these numbers are laughable and shame on anyone that believes this propaganda (not aimed at you anchadian just talking about the governments numbers).

 

At the beginning of this outbreak I called BS on the numbers of cases based on simple common sense and what was happening around the rest of the world. And I was proven correct (despite people saying the low numbers were because of chili eating and showering).

 

You have to apply the same logic to these vaccine numbers. Logically and in comparison to the rest of the world there is just no way they are doing that many in Thailand. It’s not sour grapes, it’s just logical in exactly the same way that case numbers were logical (and proven correct).

NNT- National News Bureau of Thailand: Thai developed plant-based vaccine

 

"Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences will start the first phase of clinical trials on Thailand’s plant-based coronavirus vaccine, called the "Baiya Vaccine", next month with 100 volunteers taking part.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said, during a visit to the vaccine's production plant at Chulalongkorn University on Friday, that, if human trials are successful, the vaccine will be ready for general administration next year, adding that it can also be further developed to fight coronavirus variants and help reduce the spread."

 

Plant based?? If that's true then I think the plant in question is the one pictured below and Anutin has probably been a frequently used volunteer.

And while we're at it let's just rename the vaccine the Baiya Vaccine.

Thanks but no tests unfortunally. I would say that they test around 50-60k daily and has been but i kind of need real figures. I seen this has  been posted before but now i cant find it. 

49,865 is the official pcr tests carried out yesterday, thats the nearest figure we can get. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/

 

Obviously that does not include the number of tests they do via rapid antigen

Question is , how many test has take from people who are already in hospital!? How many test has take  people who are in Sandbox , how many test has take from people who want travel .

How many test has take to try find new infected people!? Zero!? Yes they show some kind data but where has gone all this test's! There is over 18k walk in case, how many test they take there 19k?! Maybe infection rate there is almost 100%!

High number of Walk-ins and a low amount of testing…actually very low.

Good news. Expatvac registrants in 2 provinces r being notified by MOPH/DDC. Chon Buri: BKK Pattaya Hosp’s to ask 1,871 registrants for vac at Central Beach Pattaya (18-27 Aug.) Chiang Mai: Nakornping Hosp’s asking 785 registrants next wk. No’s r sml but I hope process started.

Whichever way you choose to look at these numbers, vaccines appear to be being administered at decent rates. I guess that the health workers involved are doing their best with the vaccine quantity available and deserve a little praise. Thankfully, they are also being ably supported by large numbers of volunteer workers.

Peru study finds Sinopharm COVID vaccine 50.4% effective against infections

By Marcelo Rochabrun and Roxanne Liu

 

LIMA/BEIJING, Aug 13 (Reuters) -

 

...The study involving Sinopharm's BBIBP-CorV vaccine, which looked at data from February through June at a time when Peru was fighting a brutal second-wave of infections fuelled by the Lambda and Gamma variants of the coronavirus, was conducted on nearly 400,000 frontline health workers in live conditions.

 

"The efficacy to prevent infection is not high and this is something to consider once a high percentage of the population receives its two doses, (the) moment when boosters can be considered to optimize the protection of frontline health workers," said the study published last week from scientists at Peru's National Institute of Health and two other research institutes.

 

The vaccine, however, was 94% effective at preventing deaths after two doses...

Thanks for the link. 

 

Yeah thats why i asked, the positivity rate here is insane and yet i havent seen many people talking about it.

 

Its recommended to have a positivity rate below 5% so… we kind of way off on that. 

[anchadian]

Out of the total, 6,672 are still on the island. The rest have mostly traveled onto Bangkok, Surat Thani, Chiang Mai, Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chonburi. The top five countries of origin include USA (2,759), UK (2,712), Israel (2,250), Germany (1,617) and France (1,607).

Yes agreed although I would argue now that those who advised on this 5% figure, ie keeping it below that, this should be discarded and thought through again. This was over a year ago they came up with that, since then we had alpha and now the most virulent strain ever, Delta. I suggest a positivity rate from that should be well below 2%.

Plant based doesn't mean that they're using plants to provide the active ingredients for the vaccine.

 

The Chulalongkorn University vaccine is a protein sub-unit vaccine, which means it uses a non-harmful protein from the virus as the antigen (the thing that induces an immune response). They then have to manufacture large amounts of this protein by culturing it in some kind of growth medium. This can be insect-based (as in the Novavax vaccine) or plant-based, as in this case.

 

So the plants are simply being used as a growth medium. The active ingredient in the vaccine is as mentioned, a protein derived from the SARS-COV-2 virus.

 

The actual plant medium being used to grow the proteins in, is made out of heirloom tobacco leaves from Australia.

Very poor post. Misinformation especially at a time when vaccination is being encouraged.

You have personal opinion regarding AZ that's fine. Your option is to not accept it.
