Having a chat with the mother of an English lad in Bang Kwang, there is apparently no effort whatsoever being taken to do so. The guards have apparently withdrawn from the inner part of the jail, allowing a complete free for all with prisoners in complete control. Essentially the prison numbers of infected jails are likely to equal the entire inmate population sooner or later. Entire Inmate population to possibly become Infected is about 310,000 people. That is not just bad, but a disgrace to the system. I thought they had all this under control in the Prisons by using that herbal medicine " Green Choreeta ". The Prison Authorities even said it was so good they were going to grow the stuff themselves inside the Prisons Maybe the Herbal stuff is not so good after all. Correct me if I am wrong, but were Prisoners not Vaccinated about 2 Months ago, or was that just in BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post koratkarlos Posted September 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2021 What I am having trouble understanding today, if my facts are right - I'm not sure, is that people will be required to double mask Oct. 1 to dine at a restaurant while people can fly all over Thailand with the only restriction being a simple, valve-free mask. Really? It certainly appears this country will open up full throttle. If the case numbers do not go up in the next several weeks it is quite clear that all of the facts are not being put on the table. My plans are to get fully vaccinated with the Pfizer, one shot already, thank you USA and Thailand, try my best to get vaccine for my wife, then continue to stay home and social distance. Something smells funny to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 3 hours ago, daveAustin said: Indeed. That’s the nub of it. Those saying Thailand’s numbers are low compared with western nations (that includes myopic government) only go by figures released and not the percentages, oddly failing to take into consideration testing rate etc. Test a million a day instead of sub-50000 (rolls eyes), what will you get? You won't get that many more positives, as in Thailand they test mainly sympromatic people. Test a million are yius eriously expecting to find 300K positive? Impossible, given the low death and hospitalisation rates. No need to compare positivity rates in Thailand with countries that do mass random testing. That statisitic cannot be compared. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/the-problem-with-the-covid-19-positivity-rate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 2 hours ago, ikke1959 said: I think there is a misunderstanding... The vaccine prevents that you are getting serious ill from the covid virus.. It will not protect you to get infected, only IF you are infected you will less ill. That is why you have to keep your masks on because you can be infected and spread and infect other people. If you read the statement that you have to sign when are vaccinated it is also clearly written.. So not only unvaccinated but also fully vaccinated people can infect others. If you don't believe this there is a lot to find if you google read my above post also I can google "flat earth" and get a lot of info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others. However, the risk for SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus.” Is he trying to justify his argument for anti fax too, or just quoting from the same CDC source?
