Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 No cause for alarm. This government has nothing but the best interests of the people at heart. They never show favoritism, they always hire the most qualified and the most experienced, cronyism is never a factor, and their level of transparency and honesty places them at the top of the world rankings. Please do not worry. 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Feels like we're in the rinse/repeat cycle? Hopefully continued vaccinations/boosters can hold this AY variant at bay. But this feels eerily similar to the Songkran epoch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TooMuchTime Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 Oh look another variant. Can't wait for the media fearmongering hype. Meanwhile everyone who can read statistics realizes they have a near 0 chance of dying from covid given that they aren't elderly with multiple comorbidities. Which approach this time? Shut down everything and local vaccine passports? Or can we just continue on like normal and everyone can take their individual precautions. The vaccines work remember! 3 2 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Its now accounting for over 10% of all cases in England........................ This week's http://covid19.sanger.ac.uk update: AY.4.2 continues slow climb in proportion: 9.7% in England in our most recent two week average, just over 10% if you look only at the most recent week of data. Another week consistent with small, but real, growth advantage https://twitter.com/jcbarret/status/1452608971353821189 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not often we get to follow a story from Patient Zero; first one in Thailand. I wonder where PZ came from, which country, how long PZ been in Thailand, why wasn't he caught prior to boarding the plane. Who else has PZ been in contact with, did they catch Delta+ ? Lots of details need to be given out; wonder if they will be. Of course PZ has to be a farang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
