Exactly, if the poster is using the UK in comparison to Thailand in weekly trends then look at how the UK is actually living with the virus, everything open, life back to as near normal as possible. It’s excellent free testing regime that identifies as many cases as possible. One of the worlds best vaccination programmes. Thailand, still struggling with dates for reopening provinces, in sandbox style environments that have not worked for the majority of local residents in Phuket, where food handouts are still occurring almost daily. A very slow start to its vaccination programme that is finally picking up speed but too late for the majority of those who have suffered as a result. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is what happens when you don't order enough vaccines from your own country's company in the first place. Thailand buying 614k Doses of Same Covid-19 Made in Pathum Thani The cabinet on Teusday approved the purchase of the same vaccine made in the Bangkok metropolitan from Europe, as Siam Bioscience Co. - the local AstraZeneca manufacturer - can't supply enough doses fast enough Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonongchana said the cabinet assigned the Department of Disease Control to order the amount of the vaccine in addition to the 449,500 doses the cabinet had resolved on Sept 14 to procure from Spain. The total procurement from Spean rose to 614,500 doses. Thanakorn said Spain would deliver both lots within early Oct and the procurement resulted from Thailand's negotiations to buy covid vaccines from countries in the European Union. https://bangkokherald.com/thailand/thailand-buying-614k-doses-of-same-covid-19-made-in-pathum-thani/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very slow start to its vaccination programme that is finally picking up speed but too late for the majority of those who have suffered as a result. The UK is living with the Covid outbreak there because of several factors. a) They are testing huge numbers every Day b) The Vaccines have been of good quality, and administered effectively, starting with the most vulnerable first Etc to reduce the Hospitalization load. c) A Very efficient, and Modern Health Service d) A Government that is nor afraid to take hard line decisions if needed. All of these things combined means they have the Virus under some kind of control, with all the Monitoring and Testing being performed. Thailand, on the other hand, has non of the above things working in their favour, so are continually putting out Fires. And seem to be spending more time than controlling the Virus on Propaganda and BS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
