webfact Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported the latest comments from Thailand's public health minister and deputy prime minister Anutin Charvirakul yesterday. The controversial figure admitted that there would be some Omicron cases that would "sneak in" among the 200,000 foreign tourists on the Test and Go program. But he reiterated that procedures were in place to handle that eventuality and that Thailand could cope. He said that Omicron was no worse than other variants. And he urged the Thai public who are eligible to continue to get their boosters to protect themselves.

Popular Post WEBBYB808 Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 Considering that the Delta Variations is very deadly this is an understatement of facts. Meaning that as a whole if its no worse than the Delta Variation.... so it's deadly right? 1 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 So they have opened the country and invited the tourists to bring a new strain in the country?? With the mass foreign tourists double vaxed and overtested it is almost impossible, but nobody knows who could bring it to Thailand.. Same as there is a now a prediction of 20k-30k a day after the New Year Celebrations...As foreigner I stay away from that, because they blame me ...( no worry I never go to mass groups of people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 "no worse" There are several medical parameters used to measure the vitrolity of a virus, ie., speed of infection and degree of severity. From recent medical reports from Europe and Africa, Omicron is no more sever than Delta. So yes, no worse. But because Omicron targets the upper respiratory system, it IS more infectious than Delta. Case in point has been cases in Europe where even triple and double vaccinated people have contracted Omicron. Such infection in those cases resulted in mild, quickly treatable infections. But what does that say for those unvaccinated for covid 19? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 Will this dim witted fool admit his boss is spreading Covid, by refusing to crack down on his own corrupt border officials, who are making a fortune by allowing infected Burmese entry for a price? This racist lowlife is infamous for blaming foreigners for many problems. Yet, most of the spread is being caused by Thais and Burmese. Anutin, you bungled this thing to no end. You are a failure as health minister and the extent to which you have failed, is of historic and epic proportions. You blame others. We blame you. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) I never liked him but at least this time he admits that omricon is no worse, and obviously some of the 20K would bring it in. And if it is no worse, then continue test and go again too. Edited December 28, 2021 by ChaiyaTH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 Anutin, you are a circus clown. And you should have resigned, or been replaced in March of 2020, after Covid broke out. You were in way over your head long before Covid came around. You lack experience, a background in the health field, and the only reason you were appointed, and are still in this position, is due to the power and the influence you have over your spectacularly corrupt party. There is NO other reason. Get out. Get out now. Hopefully the people will no longer stand for your incompetence. Not during an emergency. Not now. You completely blew the vaccination program! You blew the response to Covid! You blew the response to the outbreak in Samut back in December, which led to the 2nd wave! What have you gotten right? It now appears the lack of cases during the 1st wave was dumb luck. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
