TRyan: any stats can be manipulated & deployed. ONE person in 3700 in thailand has died of covid.around 0.03% pop. my point is that these key statistics are found nowhere officially. instead we are confronted with “case death” %s, for Thailand, some eighty times higher.

 

So I ask Members again, in all seriousness, WHAT is the significance of “covid case deaths”, in Thailand or Anywhere ? Initial Internet Search produced Nothing.

It is a metric folks use when they believe it is and can be the tell all of actual cases. However, if all deaths from covid are not included and then fewer people are tested, as Thailand does, it can make the statistics rise or fall  It just happens to be that many of us do not believe the numbers actually posted, but only have them to review and comment on, which makes it hard to know exactly how things are going. 

 

Take the newest Delta+ case, when it was reported it appeared to be a one off from the OP and not a concern.  However, now we find out the case came from the middle of Thailand without any known travel by the infected individual and it was found this past September so either over a month ago or just within the past month.  This is absolutely unacceptable by this government to hold onto things like this and want the folks to believe they are doing everything they can to rid the country of Covid. 

 

Yet by hiding things and not being transparent they just cause more of an issue here,  and is why people do not truly believe what they are saying.  It is also why many do not want the country to open up yet, and I am not talking about expats and posters here on these pages, but the Thai People, Academics, and folks who are part of the business community.

Foreign Ministry denies holding up Polish Moderna donation

 

“We were never informed about the aforementioned donation, and the recent update from the Embassy, agencies in Poland yet to discuss this ongoing matter.” said the MFA.

 

The MFA confirmed there is no statement in the MFA’s letter citing any block or disagreement with the donation’s shipment. In addition, it also warned the university to consider the donation protocols to avoid complaints to legal actions in the future.

 

Thammasat University previously stated that 3 million shots of Moderna were supposed to be imported this month.

Wasn't there another OP just yesterday or the day before that indicated the Government was not getting involved and would not help the University.  This is getting sadder and sadder by the day with this Government not doing what's needed to get the upper end vaccines into the country.

The news comes as Thailand has recorded its first case of the Delta Plus variant of COVID-19, but there is no cause for concern over its severity, drug or vaccine resistance as the disease being closely monitored, according to Dr. Chawetsan Namwat, director of the Division of Disease Control and Emergency Health Hazards at Disease Control Department (DCD), yesterday (Monday).

So it turns out this new Delta variant is different to the UK one so could well be home grown. New thread running on it.

The CCSA used a slide today in their daily covid situation update briefing denouncing fake news websites and groups that promote vaccine hesitancy and the use of ivermectin. They cited Singapore as taking legal action against such sites including the Truth Warriors website.

Sounds like this is occurring now.  Wonder what the prison numbers tomorrow will show.

 

From the article:

"Prison officials told Thai PBS that they have no idea how the infections started, but said that only officials are allowed into Zone 6, where prisoners serving a minimum of 30 years and those on death row are housed.

To prevent further spread among prisoners, the occupational training building is being used to quarantine and treat symptomatic inmates with the Favipiravir anti-viral drug and Fah Talai Jone Thai traditional herbal medicine, while the low-risk prisoners are being separately kept."
