The minister stressed the urgent need to speed up vaccinations, to reach the target of 100 million doses administered by the end of this month.

 

He made clear, however, that the Public Health Ministry will not negotiate refunds with the Private Hospital Association.

continuing on as in the past weeks with the numbers dipping down over the weekend and into the first days of the week before trending upward.  As i see it, and it is my view and opinion it is because of a lack of testing and what we call weekend numbers.  You can see this play out weekly in the above graph posted by @Bkk Brian.  Same with the ATK tests.  

 

As far as the totals still in the hospitals or being treated we still have a long way to go.  Lets hope a new variant does not arrive and we do not see what the west is seeing as far as cases because of the winter.  We knowthat the winter is when we normally would see cases for viruses, not just Covid, rise.  Deaths for those also rise.  With mask wearing and social distancing this has kept some of those numbers down to the lowest they have been, but they are still with us and NO Covid has not made the flu and other viruses dissapear like the Alt left and others will have you believe.

 

Anecdotally, on another forum folks are trying to pass off the numbers in the hospital because of Covid are 90% vaccinated.  What they fail to see is that the majority have underlying medical conditions and they are being treated for those and not Covid. 

 

Stay safe folks, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.  Life is good and I have much to be thankful for. like my health and having been vaccinated.

Not only speed up the current drive but surpass it, Thailand as all other countries needs to do much more than 70% and while its already been time for boosters doses for some this also now needs to be speed up, including those who took AZ otherwise we are going to be hit again just like Europe or the US

Seems to be creeping up unfortunately from 47 cases on 22nd to 61 on 23rd and now this.

 

Health officials on Wednesday (Nov 24) reported 70 new COVID-19 cases, 23 were found in Hua Hin.

"He made clear, however, that the Public Health Ministry will not negotiate refunds with the Private Hospital Association."

 

Proof if it were ever required that the 'no refund policy' for the Moderna bookings is turning into a money grab and he has no intention of upsetting his mates running the private hospitals.

As sure as Eggs are Eggs, there will be a fourth wave of the Virus to hit Thailand soon.

This virus just seems to keep on giving in ripples of Infections that spread around the Globe, and Thailand will not escape these ripples.

Many who had been the recipients of the 25 Million doses of Sinovac will surely now be among those that will be possibly hit during this Fourth wave.

In a statement only today, it was revealed that well over 4000 Medical staff had contracted Covid so far.

Many of the hard working, caring people will have been given the Sinovac vaccine, and its a priority to vaccinate them now with a superior Vaccine that works.
