Cabinet Discusses Post-Lockdown Measures

 

BANGKOK, Aug 30 (TNA) – The cabinet today discussed measures related to the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration’s decision to ease lockdown measures in 29 dark-red provinces as new COVID-19 cases were declining.

 

Chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, the cabinet through its video conference considered COVID-19 surveillance measures including the procurement antigen test kits for the reopening of eateries and business premises. CCSA wanted staff of reopened eateries and other business premises to conduct antigen tests weekly to control COVID-19.

Wouldn't it be wonderful, and a great tool, if they procured the antigen tests for the eateries to test arriving guests as well.  Oh boy that's a loaded statement I just made......irony and sarcasm all in one sentence.

I wonder if that was the brown liquid my dentist at BNH had me swill for 60 seconds when I went in for my last cleaning.......maybe I was a test subject and did not realize it.

Call me skeptic, but all I hear are about infections popping up everywhere, yet daily figures seem to be dropping.

Must be getting close to opening up time, just like Phuket.

Yes Sir we're ready, vaccinated, santised and ready to go... and then ohhhh dear

"Roadmap for Thailand’s reopening and recovery" The Public Health Ministry has come up with a roadmap to help boost Thailand’s economy and reopen the country safely. The aim is to have 70 per cent of the population fully vaccinated by December this year.

Chula mRNA vaccine in line for April rollout after Delta success

 

Chulalongkorn University researchers have launched the second human trial of Chula-Cov19 mRNA vaccine, after the Phase 1 trial greatly boosted volunteers’ antibodies against the Covid virus.

 

The vaccine proved effective against all four variants of the virus in Phase 1 and is expected to be registered by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April next year, said Chula.

 

The vaccine “can induce a very strong antibody response, [which is] as good as Pfizer”, said Dr Kiat Ruxrungtham, director of the Chula-Cov19 mRNA development programme and founder of the Chula Vaccine Research Centre behind ChulaCov-19.

Thanks. Now I know where the 915,000 vaccinations last Friday came from.

It's called work backwards.

And those without access to the internet?

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has launched a Line account to provide initial medical treatment to COVID-19 patients.

 

Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said the BMA has set up a system to notify COVID-19 patients regarding hospitalization via LINE@ account “@BKKCOVID19CONNECT,” which can be added via the LINE application or through the link shorturl.asia/afk0S .

 

He explained that the account is to screen the patients with RT-PCR or antigen positive test results. Medical staff will initially assess the symptoms, after the patient’s personal information is entered into the system.

If you have the Line app you have access to the internet..wait yes via 5g or wifi.

The government has to open up, got to be ready for grand tourism opening. The way I see it they are unable or unwilling to support the average Thai who is suffering from business closures and pressure from the top business conglomerate owners that their billions of Baht are starting to dwindle by a few million and need to get the peasants back to earning them money. Thailand is not a poor country, just poor people within it. Why sacrifice the rich and their billions when they can sacrifice the poor.

No enforcement of vaccinations and Covid-19 negative tests required for businesses reopening on September for now, authorities confirm

 

The reopening of businesses and other easing restrictions in dark-red zone provinces are part of the new measures in order to live with the disease under the maximum self-protection principles, CCSA spokesperson Taweeslip Visanuyothin said today, August 30th.

 

The spokesperson clarified that the return of business operations is not the lifting of lockdown restrictions but is rather the implementation of newly arranged measures called “Smart Control and Living with COVID-19”, which had been already applied in many countries in the world in order to coexist with the disease. He stressed that the rules were not being “unlocked” or “relaxed based on case numbers” but are part of the long-term living with Covid-19 strategic plan.

Now I am really confused, was that info graphic with the green card, yellow card and vaccinations and testing for employee's just pure BS that someone threw out there, and then upon realizing how messed up it would be rescinded it.  Don't answer that as it is a rhetorical question......not sarcasm.

Lockdowns do NOT work unless the population is vaccinated in the lockdown or it just explodes when you open up.

 

 

 

 

Well, certainly, just staying open doesn't work unless you want 1000 deaths a day in Thailand.

 

Yes, though, they just defer the problem.

 

Still, lesser of 2 evils, and I suppose now the strategy is to use the window of opportunity to vaccinate and then reopen.

 

Thailand is nowhere near the stage when it can relax.

Overall downward trend is continuing and thats great news although thoughts should also remain with the 1,062 still on ventilators and 5,058 in ICU. There are still people dying at home from covid.

How many ventilators are available?

No idea, but the highest number in ICU on ventilators was on the 15th Aug when there was 1,172

That is a question many of us have asked in the past and we have never found out unfortunately.  Many ventilators have been donated to Thailand as well as oxygen concentrators, but it is a true unknown.  I know that this Government donated some as well as oxygen concentrators and oxygen tanks to India not long ago.

In the US, the vast majority of the cases (and all the biggest rises in rates) are now in the states that, like the UK, have fully re-opened, whose governors are spouting anti-vaxx nonsense on a daily basis and that have the lowest vaccination rates.

There are lots of job openings in the US now for anti-vax radio show host. The vacancies being created, of course, by the previous hosts dying from Covid.

Urrrrr…have you seen the case numbers in the UK and US now that Delta has hit their shores? Not exactly what I would call a drop.
