Popular Post Scrotobike Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 A lot over 60 I think the vaccination of the old is still "ongoing" and I fear that a lot of the vaccinated have been jabbed with the very inferior CCP stuff. Maybe good enough to stop serious illness - but I have my doubts. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 Don't understand the almost surprise of number of deaths over 60. The median death has consistently been ~ 67. Meaning 50% of deaths are 67+. So obviously more than that for 60+ group. Does mean lot of deaths yesterday in 60-67 group. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 Glad they have kicked up the vaccinations. Hope they can vaccinate all of the elderly and those with medical problems sooner rather than later. Lets. Numbers are creeping up as far as cases. Learning to live with Covid-19 is just starting as it will be around for the long term I fear much like the annual flu. Stay safe folks,take care of what's precious to you and that should be yourself and families. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe folks,take care of what's precious to you and that should be yourself and families. Fortunately for these times, the Thai vaccine programs just recently kicked into gear after a slow and mismanaged start. Though, it appears that the obvious is still not being adhered to - general practice of mitigation measures and certainly not being stress upon nor such protocol being promoted. The basics behind the ever increasing numbers. Seems as the population still isn't getting it. And the cause if the rising infected numbers is......??

ThailandRyan Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) 2 days of rising (total) cases including ATK tests, and it seems to also be from the reduced testing. As far as I see the vaccinations need to stay at Friday's levels or increase everyday. I saw yesterday that more donated AZ will be arriving from Japan as well. Wonder when and if the 4th qtr doses of Moderna and Pfizer they said they ordered will arrive. I know they were counting on the Pfizer for their mix and match vaccination program with AZ starting in October. I wonder if they will give me a Pfizer in 11 days when I return for my second jab at MedPark.... Edited September 5, 2021 by ThailandRyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the new program of "Learning to live with Covid" has taken some pressure off of driving cases to Zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the median average is the middle number. ???? So, if 100 people are included and 95 of them are over 60 years old, but there are a few very young people, then the median means nothing. They should use the mean average, in order to give the public a better idea of the 'average' age of people dying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the 25% reduction over the past month in the already pathetically small number of daily tests has anything to do with the falling case numbers ... down from 60,000 a day at start of August to 45,000 now and a steady trend downward. I only pose the question out of idle curiosity. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only pose the question out of idle curiosity. Its a question asked by many especially when there are high positivity rates. Rapid tests have now taken over as the preferred method for active finding and we all know they are not recorded unless the person is admitted into hospital for treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
