If they want tourist to come they better make quarantine free with dancing girls, other wise why would they come. They would just stay back home, and stay for a few days quarantine in their own home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ourmanflint Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2021 3 hours ago, Kadilo said: “Thailand’s health authorities confirmed that all of the cases have been linked to international travelers.” Now that has been confirmed I would be surprised if they continue to allow another 90,000 to arrive and return from Omicron hotspots under the T&G grandfathering loophole, if they are genuinely concerned about the spread. Wow. You just won’t let go of that bone will you? Those 90,000 have all had at least 2 doses of quality vax and most have probably had a booster as well, the risk associated with that is much smaller than your constant diatribe would have us believe. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you, Mystic Meg? The risk to health may be smaller but the impact of one couple already slipping through T&G, in Kalasin, shutting down schools, bars, restaurants may be nothing to you. It may mean something to those affected with kids and/or trying to earn a living, so maybe think of others people that matter before posting your own selfish diatribe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 7 hours ago, Jonathan Fairfield said: DMS Director-General Dr. Supakit Sirilak said the Delta variant remains the dominant strain in Thailand, with genetic sequencing of samples from international arrivals and the local population from the past week showing 732 Delta cases and 142 Omicron cases. Alpha and Beta cases were no longer detected. That will be the random testing that was talked about yesterday then would it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity some people can't understand this and try and deflect from Thailand's pitiful vaccine campaign. Ten months only 60% double jabbed and 7% boosted. Anything but pitiful. Their vaccination rates (fully vaccinated with 2 doses's) exceeds vax rates for Asia, Europe, the World and now exceeds USA and many other countries and FYI compare Thailand's recent data of new daily case rates (7-day rolling) of covid infection for context. Thailand's covid mgmt performance is good all things considered. Edited December 26, 2021 by catturd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After new year it'll be in the tens of thousands when everyone returns from their home province. Last night even, on Phoenix Golf Course, there was a party with extremely loud music going on and this afternoon, it sounded like the old boom boxes were warming up for this evening. They don't have to worry about visitors, it's already here and being spread at a rate of knots by the locals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better just to stay home and watch Netflix ???? Byt the way, my throat hurts and have been hurting since 2 days ago. But otherwise I feel great, fit for fight And here is a link to a study that Omicron ain't that bad. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/hospital-stay-risk-omicron-is-40-45-lower-than-delta-uk-study-2021-12-22/ I just got over a sore throat and a cough the sore throat lasted about 4 days still have sinus problems but I attribute it to the air pollution 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorance is bliss as your post illustrates.

Test and go is nowhere near the risk that sandbox is, sandbox customers can be unvaccinated. If airlines only let on those fully vaccinated, any chance of transmission will be as low as it can get without stopping all international travel.

Thailand fails on every metric. Vaccine rollout, testing, slow procurement of vaccine. Furlough support for businesses and workers. Waiting for a cheap price for vaccines but then Delta changed that. If your happy with their performance, that's great. Your new forum friend has been waiting for a bit of support. He doesn't understand or like facts either. Great forum name by the way.

goatfarmer Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 "Omicron spreads 70 times faster" is vague and misleading. The claim is that Omicron spreads 70 times faster in the bronchi than Delta. It doesn't spread 70 times faster in the community.https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/omicron-propagates-70-times-faster-than-delta-in-bronchi-study-69540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
