Popular Post mommysboy Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 It still won't be enough without some form of social distancing, mask wearing, etc. You just have to look at what is rapidly developing in UK, and now other countries in Europe to realize that. Well done, though. Another 20% to go before full reopening is advisable, and then start on booster jabs for older people, and national cases may be kept down to 50k or so, and 250 deaths per day. 2 5 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proven fact that worldwide, 82.842089% of reported statistics are made up on the spot. Seriously, does anyone truly know how many people are living/visiting/hiding out in Bangkok?

Popular Post maddermax Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yeah but I live in Pattaya and had both of my vaccinations in Bangkok Bang Sue Central Station so do I count as a Bangkok vaccinee? Could skew the numbers considerably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvrixtel Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The report forgets to make a distinction as too Thai nationals being registered as living in Bangkok (which accounts for the 5.4M) and the number of people actually residing and working in Bangkok (including people actually registered in other provinces and foreign nationals) which would give a more accurate number of more than 10 million residents in Bangkok. Subsequently that would also mean only an approximate 35% is vaccinated. Creative accounting I guess... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cases and hospitalized cases are not the same. Those are actually falling.

BestB Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Good progress but little untruthful, 70% of people who are registered in Bangkok are vaccinated, not 70% of all people living in Bangkok are vaccinated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulikens Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 70% is very dubious. from what I've heard the schools are unlikely to open in November in Bangkok, so why is that? if 70% of the population are vaccinated. I call BS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no one talks about how quickly the vax wears off.
