snoop1130 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 BANGKOK(NNT) - The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) says the COVID-19 situation in Thailand is finally on the decline According to Dr. Chavetsan Namwat from Department of Disease Control, the situation in Thailand is getting better, in line with the global situation, especially in Bangkok and its neighboring provinces, while patients with severe symptoms and needing respirators continue to decline. Dr. Kiatipoom Wongrachit, Permanent Secretary of Public Health Ministry says, in the future, the number of cases will not be an important factor anymore, instead it will be capacity to accommodate patients. He believes cases will not decline to zero, but it would be treated as endemic, or a non-widespread local disease without severity and with distribution of vaccines as the main solution. The " local disease" treatment will start in Bangkok and Phuket, in which different management will be applied. Meanwhile, The Thai Cabinet this week approved a draft amendment to the 2015 Communicable Disease Act, to replace the emergency decree, likely from next month. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-09-24 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like they're about to give up on the covid prisons. If true then that's a step away from the Chinese model and towards normality. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they make the decisions, how about a shorter curfew, and restaurants can serve drinks to start off October with! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Zero chance. Singapore had the same language... several months ago... And now they "plunge" again into the delirium (work from home, schools online etc.) because of "new cases" (asymptomatic most of them). Source : https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/work-from-home-to-be-the-default-for-a-month-from-sept-27-moh And despite the fact that their population is massively vaccinated. The question is very simple. You are a governor of a small province. Then you learn that a few cases have been found in a factory, in a school, on a market etc. What will you do ? YOU WILL CLOSE. CLOSE. AND CLOSE AGAIN. that's the only reaction you are wired to have to have (save face, do not take any risk, to look good, to show that you care etc.). There is no way that the rational reasoning, showed by this Bangkok elite doctor, will be applied on the ground, in Thailand.

Same here, never knew of any local infections here in the village a few months ago but recently there have been many, even people we know and a local isolation center has opened just a couple of km's away.

dougiemac52 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yes they thought that was the case in the USA 3 months ago, but figures on the rise. Masks back on etc. The fact Thailand have dealt with the situation poorly they should not be making rash statements, like we will be fully open on 1st October, not.

Popular Post timmyp Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 Once it has spread through the population, it is here to say. It will spread, rising and falling in cycles as all viruses do, independent of lockdowns or mask mandates. But if lockdowns and mask mandates are put into place, then once the spread drops as it naturally will, the gov will say, "Our lockdowns have clearly worked." And when the spread seems unhindered by lockdowns and mask mandates, then the anti-lockdown people will be blamed. This nicely keeps the population focused on attacking each other, rather than directing all their energy at the massive mistakes that the gov made. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm a tad east from you, 6 months ago we only heard of people around us having an infection or an area like a market, that's when it changed to deep red, now there are people in Sois all around us, even a neighbour and a family across the street, all in home isolation yet they say numbers are falling. It doesn't add up in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinations slow transmission and reduce the chance of infection and severe symptoms including death. They don't stop it. The more vaccinated people you have the the greater the proportion of infected people that are vaccinated will be. I'll try to find a link to an article about this.

Blumpie Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This is far from an endemic in Thailand. The good news is the vaccines are working and being used. I look forward to it being treated as a true endemic once the vaccination rate improves greatly. It is so good to see things at least getting better - that was a brutal wave! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should one conclude from this that wearing seat belts doesn't matter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
