It had me puzzled for some time, as you would assume a prison could easily be segregated.

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The guards have apparently withdrawn from the inner part of the jail, allowing a complete free for all with prisoners in complete control.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.

The government should have accepted that Covid-19 was airborne long ago

 

Shopping malls have been reopened, dining-in has been allowed, and more measures are going to be eased, as Thais have recently been introduced to a new set of buzzwords: “Universal Prevention.”

 

But will that be enough to protect us from the current wave of the COVID-19 pandemic?

As part of another report issued this AM, a paper out of Bangkok printed a statement from one of the high up Covid spokespeople, that the Government was really close now to achieving its target of Herd Immunity by having 50% to date Inoculated of the 70 Million Population with a single Vaccination.

Amazing Thailand

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.

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.

The information that was hacked includes only the names of patients and doctors, not their ID numbers, said the National Cybersecurity Agency. In all, about 3.7 GB of data was leaked, containing the information of at most 10,000 people, though the hacker claimed 16 million.

Meanwhile in the real world, only 14.5% of the over 60's in Thailand have been fully vaccinated, a figure that is behind even the general public

Of the 13,297 cases in the general Thai population, the highest numbers were 3,997 in Bangkok followed by 1,140 in Samut Prakan, 718 in Chonburi, 694 in Samut Sakhon, 439 Ratchaburi, 357 in Rayong, 311 in Ayutthaya, 249 in Nonthaburi & 232 in Phuket.

No, it means this:

A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others

people playing with words often used by the anti vax crew trying to justify their argument 

 

Generally when terms like infection and transmission are used by experts it means when the virus is able to invade cells and replicate and become transmissable - using the literal term "infected"  could be argued to mean when the virus enters the body but in general that is not what is functionally meant by the term in context. In general when doctors and experts refer to infection with covid they mean that the virus entered the body and was able to easily enter celles (infect) and replicate in large detectable numbers and  become transmisable - the current data shows that effective vaccines prevent and protect against this happening by more than 80%

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

Truth

 

The third is always missing

It's a simple reporting of average time to death. Why would anyone, even the Chinese, be falsifying that?

 

Anyway, if you don't like that data, you can find very similar figures in other studies.

 

Here's what the data from Australia shows, for example:

The estimated mean time between diagnosis and death was 18.1 days

Is Australian data any more to your liking?

Here is the same quote used today by another member.

 

“They don't stop transmission, they just reduce the possibility, but it can still happen.

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? 

 

Feel free to let us know just so we can confirm there are no double standards.

Once again proving that lockdowns -- even semi-lockdowns like Thailand's -- work as expected to tamp down virus transmission, no matter what the yahoos might say.  Now let's see if these improvements in Thailand's pandemic situation tragically reverse now that the semi-lockdown is being prematurely abandoned.

Southeast Asia Nations Plan To ‘Live With Virus’ As Delta Surges

 

More developing countries in Southeast Asia are looking ahead to living with the virus. But can they afford to pay the price?

 

A growing number of countries in Southeast Asia are making plans to shift from “zero-COVID” strategies to a policy of living with the disease, even as the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus is propelling new waves of infections across the region.

One very unlucky woman (health worker in India).

 

Caught covid in 2020, then when recovered had a Covishield vaccine (Indian AZ version). Caught covid alpha variant with moderate symptoms, recovered had a booster, then finally caught covid yet again delta variant with serious symptoms needing oxygen in hospital. Survived and now well, lets hope she avoids any new variants in the future!!

 

Obviously a very rare one off case, like getting struck with lightening twice!
