'Learn to live with it' is a mantra that is most appropriately used by countries with very high vaccination rates. Before then, the phrase 'learn to die with it' would perhaps be more apt when viewed across the whole population.  And no country did this; always there came a time when the hospitals became so overwhelmed that lockdown became necessary.

 

I'm surprised that a poster of your knowledge and intelligence just can't see this.

I was quoting our esteemed government. But actually I do agree with the sentiment now that numbers appear to be manageable. Vaccines and sensible protocols are the answer, not further restrictions.

about the same... maybe slightly down

Perhaps to be expected as the latest vaccines are not being supplied at the same rate as Sinovac.

Hopefully Thai produced AZ ramps up

"Tourists" be aware there will soon be no capacity in the medical system in Phuket.

what tourists - have you not noticed they stopped publishing arrival number since the end of August - The Sandbox rip off model has failed like most on here said it would - it was marginally better than ASQ

how are the vaccinations going?

 

how much % rise this week compared with the week before?

as I predicted - they are now having to give all those that got 2x sinovac shots a 3rd booster shot ...........................that's how it's going

Yeah massive failure.
 

Since July, 28,000 visitors, 1.6 billion baht raised and only 88 covid cases as of Sept 5th.

For the second day in a row, the number of new cases has been greater than people discharged from care. Were restrictions eased too soon? Or are we still on a downward trend which will lead to the opening of the country in October? #Thailand

That’s strange. You have copied the exact same post from the poster above yours.

Large spike from infections in prisons yesterday, they've had months to take effective measures to control the spreads there but unfortunately neglect this portion of the community in a similar way to the migrants. 

 

Continuous uptick in community cases for the last 4 days.

 

PCR test positive cases, total of 14,555 official new infections, with 790 of those from prison and 13,765 from the community. 171 official covid deaths recorded. 

 

Rapid tests positive cases, 1,630 bringing the unofficial total to 16,185

https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/

 

Rolling 7 day average (up to 15th Sept) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases from daily official announcements.

The uptick in Prison Infections comes as little surprise.

Authorities have, as you say, had Months to manage and control the Infections within the chronically overcrowded Prisons, and have done little to protect these people.

It would appear that the wonder Herb " Green Chireeta " that was trialed in Chang Mai,s Prison using 3000 Inmates, is not as good as it was touted by the Prisons and Correctional Dept.

They even said it was so good they are growing the stuff within the Prisons for their own use.

Yet another Thai wonder that is totally useless, but this one is affecting peoples Health and Lives, which is despicable.

Strange for you maybe but perhaps not so strange for the separate tweets, the first being from Thai News Reports and an update separate tweet from Richard Barrow with separate information

Incorrect.

 

I amended my post to include Barrow's comment AFTER Bkk Brian had posted his.

Ahhh that would explain it. 
 

Good teamwork.

Furthermore, the two Barrow comments were posted within seconds of each other.

Another thread running where the “health vs economy is discussed.” with an article

 

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thailand-to-reopen-more-regions-to-tourists-by-oct-1-analysts-say-it-is-risky-but

 

"We believe there could be some risk of higher infections once the country reopens, but it is worthwhile to risk that, given that many livelihoods depend on it," said Ms Yuwanee.

 

Now the numbers are manageable the balance is now on the side of the economy and hence the peak season opening in line with the vaccination rollout. 
 

The decision has been made to “learn to live with it” and the forward strategy is based on that,  not delay or going back imo.

Sorry if I'm being dumb here -- are you getting the data then making the PCR+ATK bar graph yourself?  I can't find it on the MOPH site.  

Yes the chart is complied by me.

Great, thanks!   For your consideration:  a line showing seven day moving average of the daily PCR+ATK total?

It's going to be the same with Pfizer too.  The first 2 doses is just where it starts for us all.

 

Note: none of the vaccines were made for the Delta variant.

I agree, for god sake Phuket is the most highly vaccinated place in Thailand by far and well over 70% now. If you can't open fully by now then there is something very wrong and as you know I also include schools in that as well as the entertainment venues etc. The model that was to be the one to follow for the rest of Thailand is not exactly showing promise at the moment.

90% is basically required. Even then cases will surge, but deaths will thankfully be much lower.

Sure that would be ideal and I don't really disagree however no country has waited for that amount, not even the UK so with using Phuket as an example it should be there and ready to open fully.

Ultimately, it's the general public who are the arbiters. In times of high infection, Thais naturally become defensive- in Suratthani people go in to lockdown long before one is announced.  So, it doesn't follow that just opening up results in a resumption of normal economic activity.  In unvaccinated populations it does follow that it leads to greater hospitalizations and deaths.

"chronic" disease not "congenital" is what they mean

 

The colloquial Thai term for chronic disease gets constantly mistranslated from Thai as "congenital" disease (Google Translate does this).
