Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2021 WHO Thailand weekly update. Situation Analysis The rate of decrease in severe and ventilated cases is slowing down and the average number of deaths this week is slightly higher than last week. In addition Covid-19 infections remain very widespread across Thailand and absolute case numbers continue to be high reflecting ongoing transmission within communities. The low vaccination rates in pregnant women is a significant cause for concern because they have increased vulnerability to severe infection.

ikke1959 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It is very difficult for a lot of people to get a vaccine... Why?? first of all all who got 1 vaccine get an an appointment for a second one, second, because of the bad working vaccines in the beginning now people need a third jab or a so called booster, Third they start to vaccinate groups of students. There is no time anymore to vaccinate people who got nothing at all. Besides that the delaying of the Moderna, made people decide to wait, and now they are almost begging people to come for a Sinovac. But now the Moderna has arrived and who wants to get another vaccine now?? It is a mess, The unvaccinated have to wait longer and longer with all risks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply vaccination rates nationally are too low. As I have posted my wife went to another another province for jabs. Both her mother and my kids teacher have told her to stay put as the covid situation in the home province is not good. 7 in her village. Last wk 50 in Global House.

Question: Which company's ATK? https://twitter.com/erich_parpart/status/1456465443179302912 This is a very serious incident and hopefully will be fully investigated as to why this particular batch of ATK's were so inaccurate. Was it the brand or the method in which the samples were taken? ATK's are normally very accurate, above 95% although the Thai government did purchase a few million dodgy ones that were not WHO approved. Either that or everyone who enters via the new Test & Go will be facing automatic quarantine when they test themselves with the provided ATK on day 5 or 6. As a side note, our family regularly uses ATK's along with 100's of students and parents because of school and they have all been negative.

worrab Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Slightly up from the previous figure of 111 cases. Worrying is the fact that yet again it was the unvaccinated who passed away and the question has to be, would the vaccination have made a difference with congenital disease? Health officials on Thursday (Nov 4) reported 120 new COVID-19 cases, 67 were found in Hua Hin. Elsewhere in the province, 36 cases were found in Pranburi, 1 case in Sam Roi Yot, 11 cases in Kuiburi, No-case found in Thap Sakae, N0- case in Bang Saphan, No- case in Bang Saphan Noi, and 5 cases in Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan. 2 more deaths were reported today, 1 Thai man aged 85-year-old, who lived in Mung Prachup district area, and the other a Thai woman who lived in Hua Hin, both of them had a congenital disease and were not vaccinated.
