The govt is supporting holidays for travelling, currently very long weekend with additional days (after New Year) for govt employees (also banks, etc). Your first sentence, think about it.

Interesting that you chose that stat because it suited your agenda, The other stats was that 30% to 45% less likely to go to A&E. So, which is the more salient number. Likely to go to hospital or likely to go to A&E? I have also read that once in ICU, the outcomes for both delta and omicron are similar. While on the subject of numbers, I think we all agree that omicron is far more infectious than delta. Let's just say for illustration that that number is 10 times more infectious. It may be less but the point will still be valid. Assuming that figure then more than 5 times as many people will wind up in A&E. That will totally overwhelm the hospital system and why we still must vaccinate and socially isolate where possible. Even if it were only double the hospital system would be in crisis, it already is. AnE has been an uncivilised, overwhelmed hellhole for years in NHS Britain well before Covid-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's becoming clear that you don't really have any true thoughts on this matter - you are running on a mixture of baseless assumption and conspiracy theories. I don't think your preposterous hypotheses are worth further discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The allegation is that the WHO is beholden to China but most of their funding comes from the US. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efficient and professional to the max. In Thailand I had to go to outpatients every week for a couple of months to get an INR test. The staff were brilliant and the doctor was quite knowledgeable despite seeing very few similar cases. I'd had a blood clot and he told me that Thais rarely get them.

I'd had a blood clot and he told me that Thais rarely get them. I've used healthcare in Thailand, UK and Australia. ...and once in Belgium, France and Italy. I was brought up in a family of medical practitioners, ranging from Doctors through physios to nurses and virtually lived in the NHS service every day after school. The blind faith people have in Thai healthcare defies all yogic and evidence - unfortunately people aren't normally in a position to make even a vaguely qualified assessment of te care they'v received ... even if they get a "result". the problem with Covid is the rigid hierarchical nature of healthcare in Thailand, which makes it very inflexible and poorly trained. This does not help speedy and effective reactions to Covid - they rely wholey on Western and Chinese research which has usually to be translated before they understand it. Then they have to persuade doctors to take orders which they see as an imposition on their authority. Edited December 29, 2021 by Thunglom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
