There's a few million waiting for that now including a huge proportion in Phuket. Seeing as Phuket is still open for the sandbox it seems this would be a priority here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand has had one big Delta wave this year starting in April tapering currently. Vietnam had one big outbreak starting in about July not getting to Thai numbers despite a bigger population. It went down much quicker to a similar level to Thailand now, but has shot back up again quite quickly. Their vaccination overall number is about 125 million so on about a par with here per capita. Does this mean a new wave should be expected here shortly? I wouldn't bet against it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe testing, Worldometers shows roughly 3 times tests to Thailand per capita but then deaths are lot higher, which could be down to many reasons, poorer medical care, less vaccination or case don't test and someone dies and is not post tested, never know. In my own view I struggle to believe figures from any country in full, many are under counted, some over counted. Does anyone believe China with 1 billion population only has 50-100 cases a day? Cambodia 3 a day like yesterday. Unless there was a defined criteria worldwide and all countries followed it to the letter I think it will be difficult to do direct comparison.

Still contagious right? Asymptomatic? How many days since he tested positive? A question is how long has an omicron infection been lasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) A three-dose course of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is effective against Omicron, the company said, citing data from an Oxford University study. Its findings match those from rivals Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which say a third shot of their vaccines works against Omicron.

Boy how they love to move goal posts and add other statistics in so people believe what they say has come to fruition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
