Have you missed the part where all those virologists and friends said flu doesn't exist anymore and has magically disapeared . Everything is covid . Flu has “ disappeared” as you say because we’re all wearing masks and have been in lockdown after lockdown for the second year ! Flu jab soon out here in Eu/ UK and they’ve said it’s very important we all get the jab. .They are working on a way to incorporate into the COVID vaccin , but not sure where it’s at yet. Flu still exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabang Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 8 hours ago, DaiHard said: Israel has the highest percentage of vaccinated people and a huge number of covid cases (per capita one of the highest in the world) and the UK is running @ 39,000 new cases a day, USA 177,000 and even Australia has a rapidly increasing number of cases - 1,800 today - up from ~30 a day just before they brought in their 'stasi' style lockdown. Meanwhile Denmark and Sweden have now fully opened up. Do you honestly believe covid will go away? It's with us now, it is probably in pigs, bats and birds now, and will eventually mutant into flu/common cold. So impoverishing people, with the attendant problems such as crime/suicide/despair, just to keep you happy may not be feasible. I agree with you but Israel does not have the highest percentage of vaccinated people, not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I doubt that Vietnam is all that open. There would be advertisements all over the place if that country was open. Thanks samjaidee, if you live in Saigon, you would know more than most of us. My Vietnamese family members all say to wait until next Winter to try go to Vietnam for a holiday.

Popular Post wasabi Posted September 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Covid is not going away. You can modestly control it's most ill effects with vaccines. Stop all the COE, Insurance and quarantines. More Thai's are suffering from Economic despair than Covid. There is no solution where everything is how it was. Let 'er rip.

Lokie Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 They are NOT looking at a combined Flu/Covid Vacc..., They ARE looking at giving a Covid jab/booster to people who receive free flu jabs in UK (medically at risk) still being considered at moment (Dr Chris Smith UK Virologist - BBC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time goes on and more people become vaccinated, the number of "cases" will have less significance and the number of hospitalizations and deaths will become the main area of focus. As you say, Covid in some form will be with us for a very long time as long as vaccinations do not stop the transmission of the virus. With influenza, the number of infections (e.g. "cases") each year isn't tracked or regarded as important, even though in the US, 30,000 to 60,000 deaths per year were attributed to influenza in the years prior to Covid-19. Covid-19 and influenza are somewhat alike in the fact that they mutate over time and available vaccines help to reduce serious illness, however they do not stop transmission of the virus throughout the population. Given enough time, and enough of the population receiving effective vaccines, I'd expect Covid-19 to track somewhat similar to influenza in terms of serious illness and deaths year after year. As for non-human infections, zoos in the US are already finding Covid-19 infections in some of their animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't happen, imagine the lost revenue for westerners wanting to come for Christmas & New Year. ???? Well you will have to hope that these tourists are prepared to pay thousands of dollars for testing in Thailand and many more thousands for flights and MIQ when they return home.

Constantly counting "Cases" is just scare-mongering and feeding the media frenzy. The majority of "Cases" are asymptomatic. The more "testing" you do the more "Cases you will find...... What is much more important is the number of actual hospitalizations, and of course the number of deaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do at all with tourism but with HUGE failure of the Governor. Again. Ha ha I'm still laughing , the vaccine arrives all over the planet millions get vaccinated and the amount of infected people goes up not down , when are people going to wake up and realise the vaccine can't be working or is it that the vaccine is the reason for an increase of infections . Ho hey carry on , oh it can't be the vaccine can it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
