Curfew permitting! I do not think it is a one and done for the deep cleaning, I think it is done a few times to ensure it has all been taken care of. That's how it was done for a restaurant just down from the house last April. Closed for three days. Cleaned the inside at least three times, steam cleaned and sanitized the outside entrance and the parking lot, not sure why the parking lot but then hey someone could have spat on the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm trying to say is that if we have this false sense of security of vaccines could spread covid more than common sense and personal choice. So you are saying nothing?There is no false sense of security with Covid vaccines,it is known that it does what you already stated.Keeping people out of hospital and alive is all that can be done for now. Early vaccines are not very effective,we already know that also. Instead of regurgitating the same old stupid response "what is your solution?" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curfew permitting! That is all that i mean with closing a facility, not as punishment but for sanitation. Not sure how long it will last. Plus you can't let infected workers keep working. (not sure if they still take people into quarantine). I did not mean permanent closing just closing for disinfecting stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinopharm does not even work that well if its recent. But it still helps against hospitalization. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is almost all the unvaxxed after they end up in icu begging for treatments created by the same scientists who created the vaccines. Many are the same type who argue endlessly against the facts, the numbers, the thousands of doctors and scientists who have studied viruses for decades and have created untold health/life saving drugs and treatments. You are on the losing side of the covid conversation and you can choose to be part of the solution or part of the problem. Being concerned with 4.5 million dead from covid and taking every available step to avoid serious repercussions is not paranoia, it is common sense which seems to be in very short supply these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalawaan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I defer to the Science and the doctors, but Gordon Bennett! At some point thes panic closures and dramatic horror headlines every time someone sneezes need to stop. It's not the bloody bubonic plague! And if this sort of thing continues across the globe, we're going to be economically devastated, and severely socially dysfunctional. Children in particular, may not emerge from this without issues down the track, kids are resilient, but they do have limits like the rest of us. I think all of us have already gone a tad crazy as this drags on, and on, and on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you then later present at a facility with Covid, you get put in a room, fed and watered and bedpanned, BUT you get left to you own resources to get thru it. I mean that was your choice, why take up the ICU bed of someone who wants to live? Since 90% give or take of shot refusers die anyway. Why waste limited resources on them.

KhaoYai Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Whilst all vaccine manufacturers state that their vaccines reduce transmission - they don't prevent it 100%. Nevertheless, 12 fully vaccinated members of the restaurant's staff testing positive seems to point to the Sinopharm vaccine very poor at reducing transmission. Could the same be said of its efficacy in preventing severe illness or death? Is it a complete waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No current vaccines prevent transmission although as has been stated many times, there is less transmission and most importantly, less serious repurcussions if you are unfortunate enough to catch Covid. Sinopharm and Sinovac have lower efficacy than say Pfizer but they have enough and are certainly better than nothing. The almost complete reliance of the Thai government in Siam Biontech and the AZ vaccine has shown to be a major misstep and if it wasn't for Sinopharm/Sinovac the situation here could have been so much worse. So not ideal but as I've said, better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Considering the 12 staff members are very likely the majority of the staff and management of this restaurant, closing it down is the logical thing to do. It also show of just how contagious the delta variant of COVID is. I guess masks and social distancing works, but working in close quarters like a restaurant makes it impossible to do the distancing, and likely why all 12 staff members became infected.

Comparing that reality against the vaccine promises widespreadly pushed at the commencement of vaccination drives shows the earlier efficacy claims to be errant. Indeed, a recent Israeli study showed that breakthrough infections occured in both, those that had been vaccinated and those with natural immunity (having recovered from a prior infection). It also showed that the case loads were significantly less for those with natural immunity, when compared to cases of the vaccinated. The study related to the rapid spread of the Delta variant during 2021. I'm fully vaccinated and have been for quite some time, as I didn't hang around waiting for a freebie. Meaning I take the real threat of the virus seriously. However, I would categorically refuse any Chinese vaccine. If some-one chooses to not be vaccinated, it's their choice. Don't understand why some get so irritated about this if they actually believe what they preach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
