webfact Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 File photo: REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha Thailand on Wednesday (September 1) reported 14,802 new COVID-19 cases, 18,996 recoveries and 252 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. ● 18,996 recoveries ● 14,585 new infections ● 217 prison / prison infections Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 1,219,531 with 11,841 deaths. (Total infections since April 1: 1,190,668) The news comes as Chulalongkorn University researchers have launched the second phase of human trials of the Chula-Cov19 mRNA vaccine, after the Phase 1 trial greatly boosted volunteers’ antibodies against the COVID-19 virus. Chula-Cov19 mRNA development program Director Dr. Kiat Ruxrungtham said 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 (TFDA) in April next year. The vaccine can induce a very strong antibody response. He said, after being injected with the mRNA vaccine, Phase 1 volunteers developed 94% protection against COVID-19 symptoms, with high antibody activation. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough one to call, there has been a real decline in testing but to balance that there is also a real decline in ICU and those on ventilators, if one is to believe the official figures. In my view it does seem less intense, those dying at home have decreased in previous days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post anchadian Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 This was something we knew from the data - despite officially prioritizing the elderly Thailand instead focused it’s limited vaccine effort initially on economically important sectors, like Phuket, not the elderly, who are most vulnerable and more likely to need ICUs. Quote Tweet The elderly were to be the first in line for vaccines when Thailand's rollout started in June. But as the latest outbreak hit Bangkok, the government shifted priorities, leaving the seniors far behind. Now the death toll is rising.

Popular Post Khabib Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 I have a sneaking suspicion that someone high up, didn't like to see the baht plummeting in the way it was when the numbers kept increasing. These recent days its doing the opposite and rising quickly, due to the new numbers. I'm very much a doubting thomas with these recent figures. Looks too much by design, and Prayut did say, things would start to improve in 2 weeks time. That was about 4 weeks ago, I think.

If you decided to test the population en-mass, as should be done instead of trying to artificially lower those numbers so you can open, you might find a whole hell of a lot of actual cases. Funny thing is that the ones testing positive are showing up at the hospitals looking for treatment while the ones with minor symptoms testing positive via the ATK tests are staying home or better yet still wandering around infecting others..... Unfortunately we will start to see more masks around chinsetc...as people believe the governments numbers and that Thailand will soon be covid free on the large scale. The deaths however are a definite metric and many more have been found at home in the past few days. As I always say Stay safe, protect your family and until the all clear is sounded world wide do the right thing to care for yourself and others. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see that Thailand would be any different The more transmissible a disease, the higher the vaccine rate needs to be to get herd immunity. With the original strain of Covid it was estimated that it would start to happen with 70% fully vaccinated. With Delta I read (but don't have a link) that it could be as high as 90% vaccination rate. Children are the wild card in the entire equation and whether they will be heavily infected and spreaders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
