See you soon thailand! You don't have to wait. If your so keen to get back to your beloved Thailand you can do the Phuket litter box or look at 4 walls in a Bangkok hotel. Why would you wait? Oh, wait a minute, you don't want to be frog marched to hospital for 2 weeks if you or anyone close to you on a plane fails a PCR test on arrival? If your waiting to roll off the plane whistling dixie, scoot along to immigration, get a 30 day visa stamp and jump in a taxi to Soi Cowboy, your going to be waiting for a very long time. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Welcome to the amazing Thailand where covid instead of doubling every 9 days simply gets talked to death in BS and disappears ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrasatKeith Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Whilst i truly hope these figures are correct i sort of doubt them. I live in a little village in Surin province, and here we have a place set up for covid sufferers, mild infections, so, if others have i doubt all of these way outside of Bangkok are on their 'reporting' radar, so i am guessing it to be a lot higher than these figures. What also worries me, for all Thais in the countryside is this!! I read 3 million are to get 3rd booster shot. Why! when my wifes father here had an appointment for his 1st jab, only for it to be cancelled as they said they have no vaccine locally anymore. Little crazy to be thinking of all that, when so many millions wait for their 1st 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majhiggins Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 There are more varients emerging. Sinovac is about 50% effective against the original virus, if you have had two shots. But I have heard that the conferred immunity only last about 6-months for sinovac and 9 months for sinopharm. (also about 50%) effective. So there is a compound problem that new varients that the Chinese vacs are even less effective against are spreading and the originally vaccinated people will start coming out of that 6-9 month window. Kind of like the crew who scrapes the Eiffel tower works year round because by the time they have repainted the whole thing, it's time to start over and repaint what they did a year ago. Add onto that the very odd situation of Bangkok being so huge and densely populated, even if 50% of BKK residents had a Chinese shot which is 50% effective, that's only 25% with immunity. And since BKK is full of people from all over Thailand who come and go for work, BKK will continue to be a Petri dish of COVID and the transient workers will continue to carry it back to the far-flung corners of the country. Even if 100% of the country (70-million) had the Chinese vaccine, it would still be a bad situation because 50% protected could only snuff out COVID if people didn't move about the country. This is going to be what we are looking at a year from now. People getting it and recovering with immunity may end up playing a larger role in the halting of COVID in Thailand than their feeble vaccination efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom is not without risk. It’s also not up to the government to protect you from yourself. I am willing to take the risk of getting sick from you everyday when I leave my house. We all did this with the flu, measles, TB, dengue fever and a whole list of other diseases long before Covid. Guess what we will have to do this with or without a Covid vaccine that may or may not be effective. It’s also your right to wear a face diaper, inject what ever you want into your body and live your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 yes the numbers are going down "All The Numbers" which includes PCR testing numbers, it is now impossible to know the spread of covid in Thailand because they have pushed testing and pretty much everything else under a fog - there was always a fog but now you can't see your hand in front of "face" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Thailand is a long way off being vaccinated to the point they can open the floodgates to let the virus in. So being vaccinated you are safe, you cannot catch or pass on the virus?

sapson Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) The Junta decided that a downward trend is needed for their agenda. So limit testing, dont include antigen tests in published daily results and keep the bullsh@t press releases coming and never mind reality. Thailand to have 140 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines this year (yahoo.com) If the Juntas daily effluence had any strains of truth why has the Uk government suddenly upgraded Thailand to the Red zone highest risk status?

Look back at the daily infection vs deaths for the last 3 months. Here is a hint 10,000 infected equals close to 100 deaths. Now what do we see 19k infected and 290ish deaths. Which seems to reflect the infected rate closer to 29,000 a day based off the number of death using the daily tracking history for the last 3 month in my opinion. You're not taking into account the lag time between infections and death.. Infections always decline before deaths start to decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be the only man in the world that can predict Coronavirus figures. He may have magical powers. I will leave the rest to you to work out how we have had a dramatic turnaround ???? However I do believe what he is doing is correct if the economy is ever going to open again and people eat. I'm not supporting or questioning the veracity of the Thai Govt.'s figures but epidemiologists routinely do make predictions about when infections will crest and then begin to fall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raccos21 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Actually, it absolutely is not a good idea because the new South African variant C.1.2 is could be more infectious than other variants that are already found in Asia. This variant could avoid antibodies as well. The government should be more careful about what they are doing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9937851/amp/New-Covid-variant-detected-South-Africa-mutated-variant-far.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
