Rushing to get the children back to school is not a good idea.

Even if they are vaccinated, they will bring Covid into their homes and into the local community.

Most elderly are not vaccinated yet.

Vaccinate the old folk first - then the kids.

 

Here on Samui - very few cases until the last week. Two clusters, both at schools. about 78 cases and counting.

We're waiting for approval of 5-11 in the US, probably before Christmas.

 

You know, America is really the best test bed for medicine because of its sheer number of people born in foreign countries...40 million. 

 

The diversity is unmatched, which makes for the most representative trial results..
