Thailand can open safely says PM as country on track to meet vaccine promises

Getting to 70% by the end of the year seems unlikely, but more importantly, many of the tourist arrival schemes had words spoken by many Thai officials saying that things were conditional upon 70%.  So will wait and see what really happens right after November 1

So Thailand is at 35% 'fully vaxed' (of which a large proportion with Sinovac).

 

Oz is just opening up for the second time (post-Delta) with 70% double-vaxed (age 16 up). Won't open completely till 80% is reached.

 

Go figure.

yeah, there is an old saying  "Figures don't lie, but liars figure".  The status of Thailand and the effectiveness of their vaccinations is very questionable

except Moderna who would deliver 5 million doses this year and now reduced to 1,9 and still unknown when or if that vaccine is coming. On the other hand there was also a possibility for J&J for 1 jab, but they never ordered. NOw they are begging for other countries like Spain and Hungary and Japan.....but yes with 1/3 of the country doubled jab is far from the 70% that he always told at 31st December.....

I may have a MS in Math but I don't think one needs advanced math to take a look at things and not see any reasonable projection to get them to some stated goals. But plans can change

Except herd immunity is most likely 85% plus not 70%.

And in Blighty (UK) it's touch and go at 80%, with 95% of old uns double jabbed and a considerable proportion of the unvaccinated with natural immunity.  Over 90% are estimated to have antibodies.

Australia is it's own seperate basket case with different varieties of basket weaving depending on each state.

- 6 to 12 months behind rest of world on vaccination

- didn't join covax when asked

- closed for over 6 months with no clear plan to reopen

- another high season lost

- dependant on a tourism sector that accounts for 20% of GDP that may never return

 

Hate to see what your definition of failure is.

 

 

 

 

 

6 months behind but ahead of most ASEAN nations. It didn’t help that the West exhausted the early supply of vaccines.
