NorthernRyland Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 What even is the purpose of these sandbox schemes? There's COVID in the sandbox and COVID outside of the sandbox. What exactly is being protected by putting people in them? When they open more in other cities this fact will be even more glaring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NorthernRyland Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 and before we start tossing around numbers of deaths can we at least confirm these were people with other fatal diseases that were going to die soon anyways? People die in the hospital all the time for all sorts of reasons so it's not very helpful to tell us is COVID was the thing that pushed them over the top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 The stats seem to miss the most important point. The claim is that about 80% of Phuket is double jabbed. That being the case, the one and only important stat is how many hospitalizations are there with severe symptoms? If very few, the vaccines are working and there is very little gained by restrictions. The island should be properly open. If there are still a lot of cases with severe symptoms, then there is a bigger vaccine problem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Beginning in May 2021 wasn't Sinovac the main vaccine for 2 jabs in Phuket to create the 'sandbox'? Now no longer effective without a booster vaccine such as AZ or Pfizer? Some published studies showed that Sinovac lost 50% efficacy every 40 days - and Wha Lah, more infections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been the case all over the world , count only the severe cases not everybody that has the virus , but those nr's wouldn't have been scary enough to lock down the whole world . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you test positive and get put into ASQ. other than that risk, sure, the tests are a nuisance but otherwise you can roam the island as you wish…subject to the same restrictions as locals, which aren’t that onerous and in a lot of ways, non existent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
