One quarter of a billion baht for this. More money in mates pockets. Just more junk to cure those covid asymptomatic people of their symptoms.

Another plateau seems to be forming it would appear, but as per my statement last week it is a bumpy ride as the numbers drop ever so slowly.  I hope that the testing gets better since they increased the ability to test up to 120k a day.  Not going to help much if the only reason they increade the ability was based on tourism.

 

Friend from the US is arriving next week on the test and go scheme, and was told by her hotel she will be tested upon arrival, no matter what time and will have the results back by noon, or 24 hours later at the latest

Plenty of wiggle room in the test results then for when they will be back, hopefully not as long as Richard Barrow's which turned out to be 28 hours.

Why would they increase testing? The whole idea is to decrease testing. If they do increase testing it won't be for testing the community because if they did that infection numbers will increase.

As per my post the reason for increasing testing was more than likely for the Test and Go and tourism folks so they could get the results back sooner than 2 to 3 days as has been the past practice.

Another encouraging set of data all round sees the official number of recoveries once again exceeding the official number of new cases, along with a drop in patients with a serious condition. 
 

Latest up to to date official data from the worldometer ranking table for deaths/million of population over the past 7 days, including yesterday’s numbers, shows Thailand up one place to 70th in the world, 28 places below the UK.

 

Same table shows Thailand remain at 14th in Asia, 5 places below the Philippines and 3 places above Vietnam. 
 

The number of deaths over the past week remained very low at 6 deaths/million of population, trending down 10% over the 7 day period, with the number of official infections also falling 10%. .

Its not clear to me why with relatively few cases there are still so many in hospital getting treated, I know this number should go down but its not been doing that in any significant way yet. 41,559 still in hospital getting treated.

This and others like it are the therapeutics the world has been waiting for and will facilitate a real sense of normal next year knowing that even if vaccinated you can still have a drug to help should you become symptomatic and sick especially with all the waning in vaccines.

 

500 million is far from enough unfortunately and will only garner a small amount of courses. Lets hope they push ahead with this and the announcement is actually actioned rather than wait till its too late as with the vaccines procurement. Last I read this was for 50,000 courses? Hopefully generic versions of this will also be available from other countries that produce it cheaper since Thailand has not been allowed to do that this time.

Ridiculous nonsense.................Prayut and cronies in their ivory towers declaring the business owners as "selfish" despite giving them next to nothing in aid to get them and every other local Thai who is suffering out of the financial ruin they are in. If a Province has been sufficiently vaccinated and sensible measures are in place then businesses need to be open.

Now that the 80 million milestone is achieved the other target was to have 50 million people double dosed by the end of the year. Its looks like this will be easily achieved and according to this estimate the date for that will be the 17th Dec, lets see if thats correct.

 

Thailand is fortunate to have the one million volunteer health workers who have and continue to help in this epic vaccination roll out. Thailand is also very fortunate not to suffer from any major vaccines hesitancy issues aside from some pockets in the south and thats just down to not trusting the government historically not vaccine brand. Unlike some countries where vaccines are literally nearing their shelf life, all brands here get snapped up quickly.

 

Had Thailand got this rolling as it should have done before then many lives would have been saved and that can never be forgotten for those that perished and their loved ones. However credit where credit is due with the current roll out.

 

Vaccine distribution so far has been:

 

AstraZeneca 36,068,867

Sinovac 25,357,569

Sinopharm 13,117,849

Pfizer 7,823,213

Johnson & Johnson 6,724
