Yesterday walked along the current party hotspot in Pattaya (treetown) and even though I am not Covid hysteric the cramped masses irgnoring all the loudly announced rules (mask, distance etc.) left me somewhat puzzled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids too. I'd recommend you stay at a small gh in the middle of the town. Much more guest friendly and lower volume of people traffic lowers incidence possible spread of covid.

brewsterbudgen Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Has it been established that this is NOT a general rule? I certainly didn't need it when I stayed at a hotel in Rayong last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hate when ignorant people always compare polio with cov-SAR-2. Let me help education you as they are completely different: "SARS-CoV-2—is a respiratory virus while poliovirus is an intestinal virus. The coronavirus damages the lungs. Poliovirus begins as an intestinal virus that in a small percentage of cases migrates into the spinal cord where it destroys motor nerves, causing paralysis. Scientists still don’t know why this migration occasionally occurs. According to the CDC, coronavirus is spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). The poliovirus is shed in the stools of infected individuals and acquired through drinking water or ingesting food contaminated by the stools. Polio is most frequently found in situations of poor sanitation. Unlike coronavirus, you can’t acquire polio by simply being next to an infected person— you need to drink water or eat food contaminated by their stools." Kind of makes you wonder if the polio vaccine or better hygiene (drinking water & food prep), over a period of time is what kept polio at bay. Google this if want to read the source info above: 'Comparing the Polio and Coronavirus Epidemics Daniel J. Wilson, PhD, Professor of History Emeritus, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pennsylvania, [email protected]' Oh yea, polio had one of it's worst years, last year, though still only about 200 cases worldwide, in poorer countries. I was vaccinated for polio as a kid in Australia in the 50's. Certainly good drinking water and clean food! Makes you wonder given those parameters for transmission how a president of the USA ended up with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidfan Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 PS. I guess as kids we also had vax for measles, mumps,rubella, whooping cough etc. Then later for cholera before being permitted to enter Singapore. Am fully vaccinated for Covid19 with Pfizer here too.

"While the Roosevelts were vacationing at Campobello Island in August 1921, he fell ill" Guessing hygiene & sanitation, at the time, wasn't up to snuff.

MaiChai Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Got a flu vax yesterday. Better to be vaxed than suffer? Its scientifically proven you are less likely to get severe covid when vaxxed. Mostly you will get a couple of days of feeling really bad and then you will recover. Its all about numbers and stats; people can still get really sick if vaxxed but the chance of it happening is much reduced. Just saying get vaxxed if you have the opportunity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the hotels that have front desks, and take the room keys do require vaccinated guests and their joiners, then I can imagine many others simply going to the guest houses that don't have front desks that are open 24 hours and have separate entrances at night. There are hundres of those guest houses all over Pattay, The hole in one on soi Lengkee is one I have stayed at a few times as an example. After hours one just uses their key and can enter Booking for Christmas at a popular 5 star resort in Hua Hin. Vaccines not needed for stays. Decided not to stay there. That and the price.

They ask for a copy of our vaccination information when we booked. Also had to fill out forms cm3 or cm4… anyway MrsJ was ask to put some app on her phone that did away with the forms. We don’t see a problem only allowing vaccinated people to check in…we are both deemed high risk… of course YMMV and seems it does. The hotel had a attractive Staycation offer else we would have stayed elsewhere…. Probably Mor Prom app. It shows your vax dates, times, type of and where done etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it's certainly not proving to be the veil of protection the world was led to believe. I read the other day that the virus is still mutating in fully vaccinated people, which means it's possible the current vaccines will either have reduced efficiency against the virus to the point people are no longer protector and / or the current vaccines become completely useless to any new variants. I don't think we are in the last chapter of covid book just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
