Authorities asked business operators to ensure service staff are fully vaccinated and regularly tested with antigen kits, and to require customers to show proof of vaccination and negative tests.

So what are the figures for people who have had only one jab, last I heard it was around 30% which means 70% are still waiting.

Only a minority have had two... so how can they enforce the above rule of ensuring staff have had both vaccinations?

And how do I prove I've had a jab?

Don't feel bad...neither do they! Like everything else here in Land of Confusion. 

You guys are getting worked up about nothing. Move on and enjoy your life.

 

If you can't decifer this new set of rules, I bet those who approved it can't either. Don't want to lose face.

Great news.  The vaccination requirement will obviously be ignored!

Of course it will, impossible to implement even if they had such a will. People are, as usual, getting in a flap or panic over nothing.

Collective healthcare cost of Covid over 2 years estimated to be between $56 Billion to $556 Billion

Healthcare costs attributed to obesity in 2014 were $1.4 Trillion (and probably more now)

That's a Yellow card needed if non vaccinated and have recovered from covid or you have had a negative ATK rapid test done in the past 7 days.  Green card needed to shop in malls or a Yellow card, how ridiculous in reality as even those folks could be infected as an asymptomatic carrier.  Just open it up or keep it shut, no half-arsed measures.....Ugh.  So in essence I will have a green card for vaccination but the GF who can not get vaccinated to save her life needs to be ATK tested weekly to go out to dinner or shop for clothes, or better yet since she is a Salon owner, she can not even work unless she is vaccinated or shows a negative test weekly.  WTH is wrong with these folks.

I geuss someone high up bought millions of tests and in now trying to unload them (with a little profit ofcourse).

How does being vaccinated help when vaccinated people can still get infected and spread the virus about as easily as the unvaccinated, even if they don't get so sick.

It reduces your % of dying? 

But yet if your fully vaccinated coming from a country that is mostly vaccinated, you must quarantine in an ASQ hotel for 14 days - crazy!

Ok I don't care anymore all this nonsense, it will pass in survival way and I will save a lot of money.

I think what this means in reality is they're just re-opening in ways they think will resonate with the public and maybe give a bit of a boost to the economy.

 

The rules/color coded cards/etc. are a Potemkin facade.

 

No restaurant will follow these rules.

No mall shop will follow these rules.

No massage parlor will stop at the feet.

I want to see travel unlocked so i can leave Phuket and visit my projects and suppliers and return easily. If this madness continues another 30 Thais will be unemployed. Yes, am vaccinated.

I always thought (as does every expert in this matter) one of the best control measures was mass testing the community. They obviously think differently. 

Mass testing only creates fear because the nr of infected will rise extremely but millions of people get the virus and don't even notice or get symptoms . Mass testing is fear mongering . Virologists and experts are now saying learn to live with it and it will soon be the common flu . Don't want to tell people , i told you so , but . I told you so .

Not entirely sure what the table in the OP means. 

 

If there are going to be restrictions based on vaccination status, that will be a pisser as I have got a fairly long wait for my 2nd AZ shot.

 

Perhaps I would have been better off picking the much quicker administered Sinovac vaccine instead ? If I had I would be a proud ‘green card’ holder about 1 month ago, instead of having 6 weeks to wait. 

 

Anyway, if they reopen parks to all next week, I will be happy enough for now !

 

 

Is the pisser manufactured by Pfizer ?

So how do we get into supermarkets located inside malls, something we can do now, unless we are double vaxed?

Now re read this and pay attention to the word “serious”!! 

Maybe I can share with you the numbers in Singapore where we are about 80% total vaxed with almost entirely by mrna vaccines(minor % took sinovac out of personal or allergy reasons). August is the deadliest month with 18 deaths(total so far 55). Only 1 of the 18 (or 55 for that matter) was fully vaccinated, he was 90 with other health issues. Almost all of the 18 were in the vulnerable category (elderly with other health conditions). 

 

Singapore has one of the highest life expectancy in the world with competent health care so it could be the reason why death rates is lower. But from the small numbers we can still observe vaccines help prevent deaths although it doesn't really stop infection. I think the recent death spike is due to Delta, which is the predominant strain here. 

 

I'm sharing here so for those still in doubt of being vaxed, please reconsider especially if you are in the vulnerable group. And to a lesser extent, you get the picture that covid is not going away anytime soon. The way forward is to vaccinate, reduce deaths and continue life.

Yep, sounds like the preferred option, given only 9.5% of the population has been fully vaccinated as of Aug 25, 2021.

 

 

Let's know when they are available 555555

Did you mean to say ‘let’s look at the demographics through my one-eyed bias without providing any actual facts but just opinions and generalizations ’? 

 

You know who the first people were to be vaccinated in my company ?

The office maids, who live in Klong Toei, double jabbed by end of April.

 

Rest of the company is still waiting for their 2nd in a couple of weeks. 

In your small office maybe, but the world beyond that - very different story. Very different indeed.

It is officially said that 1 shot A-Z is as good as two shots of the Chinese formulae

Will someone please explain to me how I go about this. I went to the U.S. for a month and received the Johnson & Johnson vaccination. Returned to Thailand a little over two weeks ago and underwent the totally unnecessary quarantine and am now home with my fully vaccinated family. Where does one get one of these color coded cards? Complicated process that makes no sense as usual. This government is a soup sandwich.

This plan must have been based on Anutin’s statement that one million people will be vaccinated everyday. So more lies from these self indulgent, self interest fully vaccinated idiots. 

Business owners are asked to make sure there staff are fully vaccinated, so how does my wife get her 6 Issan girls vaccinated so they can return to work in BKK, it is about time these idiots grow up before total despair sets in, do the gov really expect businesses to stay closed if there staff aren't vaccinated, bliddy morons.
