Latest WHO Thailand situation Update:

 

The relative proportion of all cases that are being reported in Bangkok remains high. In addition increases in case numbers are now being reported in Southern Provinces, with the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th highest Provincial case counts for today being reported from Narathiwat (617 cases), Songkhla (566 cases), Yala (561 cases and Nakhon Si Thammarat (458 cases). The reason for these increases are not currently very clear, with transmission likely occurring in both community and occupational settings.

 

The number of new community acquired COVID-19 cases continues the downward trend seen for the last six-weeks, although case counts remain high. • The number of deaths continues a four-week decreasing trend with an average of 120 deaths per day. However the rate of decrease (10%) has slowed down and halved compared to the previous week (21%, 24%, 10%) • The numbers of severe and ventilated cases remain high, but continue to show a downward trend (severe cases decreasing by 9% and ventilated cases by 4%). .

Surely it's inevitable that cases will start to increase as restrictions are lifted? But as long as the hospitals can cope and vaccinations continue to increase, 'normal" life has to go on.

Favipiravir induce cutaneous adverse reactions in COVID-19-infected patients

 

Favipiravir has been used for treatment of COVID-19 in many countries. To determine Favipiravir induced cutaneous adverse reactions in COVID-19-infected patients, we observed COVID-19-infected patients who were hospitalized at Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute, a principal centre of emerging infectious disease in Thailand, and presented with cutaneous eruption following Favipiravir prescription.

They will or at least that’s what tends to happen everywhere else in the world but you’re absolutely right it’s about keeping check on hospitals and increasing vaccinations. The Nov 1 partial opening will have no impact on numbers what will is the easing of restrictions here in the higher risk area's.

 

The Health Ministry already knows that and have said as much so it’s a matter of keeping a good measure of surveillance in place to monitor local spikes in infections.

 

Forget any of those predictions by the Health Ministry, 3 weeks ago they accepted that numbers would rise a a result. Yesterday they predicted positive numbers would go down to 5,000 per day by the end of this month, however they admitted that was with a simple statistical projection, along with covering their backs to say it may also increase.

 

The week before they said it would become endemic and hover at around 10,000 per day but it would definitely not go to zero. So plenty or wriggle room by them. They’ve got as much chance of getting it right as any forum poster here.

There's a list of normal vaccine development but here's a couple of the oddities

 

Tobacco vaccines and lizard blood: Meet Thailand’s contenders to tackle COVID-19

 

Lizard Blood

No rundown of vaccines would be complete without a mention of one of the projects on the more experimental end of the spectrum. Jitkamol Thanasak, a professor at Mahidol University, is currently carrying out studies on monitor lizard blood as a potential cure for COVID.

 

Alternative Medicine

Complementing Thailand’s research into vaccines are studies into alternative medicines to treat COVID. Amid efforts by the government to promote their use, demand for fingerroot (krachai khao) and green chiretta (fah talai jone) has boomed. But while the herbs have been used for centuries across Asia to treat various infections and ailments, like the flu, their ability to treat coronavirus remains in doubt.

Makes me wonder why they held off on adding those numbers to the everyday totals and just one giant dump, like the prison cases at the beginning of this wave.

Not at all, great spot for tourists who want some adventure canoeing is in one of the flooded provinces right now, on the way back so long as they have some pocket change they’ll get a great deal on a purchase of one of the empty hotels before the Chinese snap them all up. 
 

Honestly there’s going to be no tourist volume worth thinking about till Thailand gets its act together. TAT can predict 1 million this year but the banks tell it how it is.

 

Great beaches though so long as you ignore the plight of the locals

You make all the comments you want.

Jumping through admin hoops and a Thai government that changes the rules overnight, doesn't inspire confidence in potential tourists.

You live in Thailand. Totally different and you know it.

So stop the Thaivisa negative poster BS.

Imagine your half way round the world and are about to invest £5k plus on a trip to Thailand on a bunch of hunches and promises that may or may not be honoured the day you travel to Thailand.
