Sharp drop in death numbers recorded yesterday at 47. 

 

Latest official data from the worldometer ranking table for deaths/million of population over the past 7 days, including yesterday’s numbers, shows Thailand up two places at 69th in the world, 25 places below the UK.

 

Same table shows Thailand remain at 14th in Asia, 4 places below the Philippines and 6 places above Vietnam. 
 

The trend in the number of deaths over the past week stands at 7 deaths/million of population, down 7% over the 7 day period, with the number of official infections also falling 9%.

 I understand it is trailing information Thailand's reported death % is not the worst but the Philippines is showing 10% death rate (over 400) on the recent 4,000 cases.

Terrible and sad.

With the covid pandemic here in Thailand education has suffered enormously. Locally here in Phuket there's a certain anticipation and mixed emotions for many people regards the opening of all government schools on Monday. Of course its welcome however people are also a little nervous as to how this will go. The International Schools have been operating normally for a few weeks with no reported cases so that's a very good sign. Fingers crossed this will also be the case for all the government ones!

 

This is the same for the whole country from Monday, schools opening in many places though not all of them as promised by officials.

 

Phuket is 77.4% fully vaxxed although Bangkok has now overtaken Phuket as the highest double vaxxed Province, 78.4% of people fully vaccinated there so hopefully all schools there will also re-open?

Fever of excitement and anxiety as Thailand goes back to school

 

Like many Thai children, 12-year-old Thayan “Fhan” Wirojsakulchai can’t wait to get back to school, the joy of studying at home having long since evaporated.

For Thayan, it’s great news that his school, Roong Aroon, is about to let him return to classes every day.

“I’m so excited that I will get to see my friends in real life,” the boy said happily. The fully vaccinated youngster will start attending school from Monday (November 1).

And still many schools cannot reopen due to onerous restrictions or waiting for MOE permission. Shameful.

Judging by the percentage reported as positive about 65,000 tests which in a country the size of Thailand is woefully low.

At my Daughters School, the Teachers are in a permanent state of confusion.

Since before the Covid Outbreak even closed the Schools.

You know, when schools reopen covid will spread like wildfire. That won't matter much for the kids, but it's essential older people are fully vaccinated, or there will be hundreds and perhaps thousands of deaths. It all depends how many over 60's have been vaccinated- less than 75% and there will be carnage.

Yes. It's important for people to get vaccinated. Some schools have already reopened but for others it seems to be taking ages. At this rate, bars will reopen before some schools! ????

At one point in my family only the 2 youngest adults had been done. God knows the logic of that!

 

Happily we're all jabbed now.

Doesn't include the 3rd dose - 38,746

 

Thailand's Vaccine Tracker (Oct. 31, 2021) About 46.44% of the population is fully vaccinated. 42,247,135 (+322,311) people have received the first dose, while 30,743,399 (+334,070) have been fully inoculated. #วัคซีนโควิด19 #COVID19 #ล็อกดาวน์ #KE

Today we see a rise of infections.. 8.859 pcr test and only 8.253 recovered.  If you calculate the ATK test too than thee are almost 12.144 new cases against 8.253 recoveries

Thing is they are bragging about the high double vaccinated rate but how many of these were doubled jabbed with Sinovac. Only 2.5 million have recieved a 3rd jab to booster the Chinese jabs.

And remember recoveries does not mean fully recovered. They changed that too to make things look better. How much else is changed and bogus to suit their agenda. I think quite a bit. Like I've said the RTDA comes out saying ATK needs to be in the numbers. Look at @Bkk Brian's chart and I think it's pretty obvious when the RTDA came out with their statement.

A whopping 39 cases in Banglamung (Pattaya) today.  Not sure what number they want to see before allowing our restaurant industry to begin serving alcohol.  Below 5 maybe ??

Yes crazy eh

 

With over 70% double jabbed and such a minimal number of new infections and deaths, there is no justification for continuing the restrictions and not allowing them to re open. 
 

In Chonburi Province, the 5 deaths recorded were :

 

“As for the five new deaths yesterday, four of them were elders with an average age of 76 years old. They were close contacts from previously confirmed cases in their family according to the Chonburi Department of Public Health. They all had chronic health problems. None of them were vaccinated.”

Time to let people get on with their lives and learn to live with it.

It's getting better in some areas but Chiang Mai up to Burma it's very bad. Many people infected. Right now they are giving free Pfizer vaccines to students only at a public hospital. Forget old people first.
