Next Fortnight Crucial in Decision to Ease More of Thailand’s COVID-19 Restrictions


webfact

Recommended Posts

Let's look at Phuket which they claim has worked so well.

 

1. More than 200 cases per day, several days running.

2. Only 15% of hospital beds currently available.

 

More restrictions = less cases

Less restrictions = more cases

 

Sure, let's OPEN those borders, EASE those restrictions. Is Thailand anywhere near 15% vaccination yet?

Can't deport me. I'm Australian and my country won't let me back in. 

You could try hiring a boat to take you to the coastline of Australia and declare your self a refugee . 

But the way the  Australian government  treats refugees that could be rather chancy .

Let's not get over excited the Corivirus numbers are down today tomorrow who knows usually after a weekend up 

In 2 weeks who knows what the numbers will be 

I am hoping they open Bangkok up in October but they also need to have alcohol available in restaurants 

Bars and clubs probably not

Up north they stay out later, check less and drink a lot, relative low vaccination rates and no issues since day 1 that are significant. ''Only 15% hospital beds available'' of what is assigned for COVID only perhaps.

 

Hearing the same stories from Isaan, where they just go around and about, only on real incidents close that down right away. Otherwise, no big issues either. More or less restrictions does nothing to this virus.

In that case he needs to slip into the US on the southern border then he can get all kinds of freebies

He said the fall to 15,000 in daily new cases seen recently is a result of the lockdown imposed since July 20th and mass vaccinations

Delusion is more rampant than Covid, werent todays cases 12,500 pcr and 6,400 antigen positves.

 

Thats a daily total of circa 19k, not including any possible number of home tests not reported.

So if cases fall and they then decide to open things up again . Cases would surge again and they would have to go back to restrictions . 

   Isnt that a foregone conclusion or am I missing some information ?

Covid aint going away.  All countries need to live with it

Currently the hospitals are at capacity because they are full of both sick and A-symptomatic people.

 

If restrictions are lifted and A-symptomatic people quarantine at home, as they do in the UK, the hospitals will replace those A-symptomatic cases with more sick people in the short term - but at least the economy will start to run.

 

So its a choice - (i) hospitals filled with sick and healthy people and no economy (ii) Hospitals filled with just sick people and a functioning economy.

 

We have to live with this gift from China, the gift that keeps taking livelihoods, so open up the economy.

Fort Detrick is not in China from what I remember..????

So what's that mean. Curfew remain 9pm and no bars allowed open along with 'encouragement of tourists' to holiday Oct 1. 

Brilliant business plan. 

Plus being vaccinated.

Having a PCR test

And antibody test.

Just to get in.

 

Seriously mentioned today.

Of course you don't know the permafrost (  century's and century's frozen underground ) is defrosting now , not only frozen mammoths' there but probably also awakening unknown viruses and microbes  from before  ice age ......

Reason enough to close down the island.

 

You need spare beds for emergency patients like heart attacks, car accidents, etc.

 

Its very odd way of doing business this "Sandbox" fiasco.

Imagine all of these people so seriously ill that you have to do a ramped up PCR test to say they are sick. The world has redefined what it means to be sick. Vaccines used to be given so your body has the ability to know how to fight it so you are immune to the virus. The new definition is now you still have the same viral load, can still spread the virus but might not get as seriously ill. Maybe we can redefine closed businesses next so it seems like they are still open.

When oh when will those in this government learn that we just have to live with this virus? If one is vaccinated the morbidity and serious complications drop dramatically. Constant publication of infection numbers just scares the uninformed and serves no purpose. 

Dead right! But at least in Thailand the recovery rate is also highlighted, unlike In Britain where the media and  the other doom goblins focus relentlessly days by day on infections, hospitalisations and deaths.
