Someone told me they could buy a Pfizer jab in Bangkok for 2000 baht. I don’t know who is authorized to sell Pfizer. Bargin - cheaper than Moderna and probably just as unreliable delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have also noticed this recently, several of wife's friends and many others I have asked. Almost 600K per day being vaccinated is good going, Hope supplies manage to keep up, as the administration network seems to be doing fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"school sandbox program" ... is this an official prog or just something you invented (quite right too - not criticising) Its the officially signed of term from Phuket education Authority, I think its the same term that will be used nationwide?

This pic is second stage of queue. There are 3 stages. The first is crowded. It was a zoo however staff excellent. Tough job.

Even prior to this current wave when alcohol was available at places such as Soi 4 Sukhumvit etc there was hardly anyone there. Same at the Pattaya bars.

Popular Post utalkin2me Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) There are stadiums filled with people sitting 6 inches from one another right now. I wonder why the world is not coming to an end. 0-1 deaths per day in Sweden since July. No lockdown. The one thing I love about this entire debacle is knowing how many people there are who actually believe governments can solve a biological problem like this. Individuals doing their part to ensure the safety of those close to them and themselves, sure. Any sort of govt regulation… no, it’ll never work when there is already rampant infection. In other words, open the country, lose all restrictions. People are better off for it and the joblessness, depression, alcoholism etc can begin moving to the upside.

Agree, surely farangs who has vaccinated not make Thailand situation any worse! If they scared new variants, has get delta etc. anyway and who bring that in LOS , not tourist or expats goming home!

daveAustin Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 4 hours ago, mtls2005 said: They reported a whopping 925,627 doses administered in the most recent reporting period. And second doses are exceeding first doses for the first time. Simply amazing. When anutin said they'd do 1 mm per day I scoffed, saying they'd be lucky to get to 500,000. Close to 20% of the 50 mm people with 100 mm doses by 1/1/22 target. The Thai authorities are good at reporting high vaccination rates but not so good at reporting infection rates. Wonder why that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
