No it isn't: people say "paperwork" when they don't want to say what it really is

Maybe they try to make cuneiform's , like you say "paperwork's" not look like what they are! Then they try sent that huge piece of rock to Thai consulate but it not fit in from they front door!

It could also be some sort of hold harmless clause, customs related, indemnity release, some future obligation on the part of the Thai government, etc. No one is saying right now.

 

But that's not as funny as yours.

Concerning the delay with the US Pfizer second shipment, it really does not matter who said what.  The bottom line is that this vaccine is in the US and not here.  And the Thai people suffer.  Good managers cut through this confusion and make things happen.  But nothing happens, just empty promises. Always delays and excuses.  The Thai people deserve better.  We all do.

Tanee Sangrat would have sorted this long ago. It's ministerial rivalry; Anutin blocking IMO.

Agree this is completely illogical and seems discriminatory. Astra-Zeneca states that its vaccine is of identical quality wherever it is made - here in Thailand you might get locally-made AZ or AZ from Korea - both have exactly the same efficacy.

England’s Covid travel rules spark outrage around the world

 

Refusal to recognise vaccines given across Latin America, Africa and south Asia has been denounced as ‘discriminatory’

 

England’s new Covid travel rules and refusal to recognise vaccines administered across huge swaths of the world have sparked outrage and bewilderment across Latin America, Africa and south Asia, with critics denouncing what they called an illogical and discriminatory policy.

Is AZ Thai manufactured acceptable to enter G Britain, not clear in this article?

As things stand no it is not acceptable, which is absurd. By chance I was inoculated here with AZ from Korea. But I’m not even sure that would get me through the door quarantine-free as it was administered here. And UK quarantine is expensive!

1 - yes, 100%. As the numbers include potentially people that actually got better from covid - its from positive test date, not reason for death later. 

 

2 - No, a death is a death, and a sad loss to all. I am not a covid denier, but if you want to report a death then report it for the correct reason for death.

You should be happy to know that the final numbers for Covid deaths are different than the quick reports you mentioned. The UK issues quick and dirty reports about Covid, but, concerning deaths, they have to go through the certification process. Every Covid death must be documented by a medical examiner and verified as the prime cause of death.

 

so, don’t let the quick reports confuse you.

 

More to the point, how many people test positive from Covid, and happen to die of something else within 28 days? I can assure the number is tiny, as about 1 in a million people randomly die every day, from something other than Covid.

 

The people who send you talking points are just trying to confuse you about Covid, don’t listen to them.

So at the beginning of the month a bunch of stuff reopened. 
 

Can somebody explain why the sky isn’t falling in? I mean it’s a deadly disease, we are commingling more.. why aren’t numbers skyrocketing?

 

Oh that’s right, because it does not actually work like that… the numbers go in waves no matter what you do, lockdown or not as places like Sweden prove. I forgot, sorry. Carryon. 
 

Yet when the second wave comes the relaxed restrictions will be blamed of course lol

I am sorry, but the relaxed restrictions were tiny, so not much effect.

Tammy said she had originally asked for the same amount for Indonesia and since there was no delay on documentation with them, Indonesia has now received more than eight million doses.

 

Apart from the lack of delay in documentation, Indonesia is also receiving more donation from the US because the country is part of the COVAX initiative and Thailand is not.

Yes I read the article already that’s why I mentioned Indonesia

You don't know what is the hold-up only that if the AN/TV hoi polloi were in charge there would not be a hold-up.

I never said I did though. I know the same as everyone else and that’s what has currently been reported, it’s been sent a month ago according to US and not received as of today by Thailand. Everything else is speculation, what’s not speculation is that there are people dying for it here in Thailand

COVID-19: Thailand reports 13,256 new coronavirus cases, 131 deaths

Latest situation report from WHO Thailand:

 

SITUATION ANALYSIS • The number of laboratory-confirmed community COVID-19 cases reported is the lowest for more than two-months with the trend in declining cases continuing for nearly 6-weeks. This is welcome, however with an average of more than 13,000 case still being reported each day, there is a long way still to go with more than four-times higher number of cases currently reported on average than the average for the month of June (2,941 cases per day) during the height of the 3rd wave. •

 

The total number of ‘active’ COVID-19 cases who require direct medical care or medical supervision (representing the overall burden on the healthcare system) has stopped its steady decrease from the peak in August and in the last week has noticeably levelled off, with even slight increases on some days.
