Just imagine how many symptomless people there are who are not bothering to get tested at all, and are just walking around with "a cold"!

Absolutely unbelievable! Low mortality rate but if hospitals end up with too many covid admissions and have to cancel routine health care then the health system is under too much pressure. It's not just the mortality, it's pressure on health services and don't forget the symptoms of long covid that can result, that is something no one in Thailand seems to talk about. A good friend had covid April 2020 and has struggled with his sleep ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools don't generate enough money for those at the top, plus they need the uneducated to carry out all the unskilled work in their big industries. Can't have the peasants bettering themselves and threatening the elite circles hold on power. Totally agree with you though, if other nonessential business are open then schools should 100% be open.

For a change, it looks like I'm lucky as my son's small international school in Bangkok has confirmed it's staying open (for the time being anyway!), term having started last week. Every kid has to do a weekly ATK test on Sunday night, but I can live with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairynuff Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Omicron is here so we can expect a massive rise in cases.

sqwakvfr Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hospitals are full or 100% ICU bed utilization are numbers that are dynamic. When I was working in Los Angeles County Law Enforcement this would be frequent broadcast over the Fire Department frequencies: “County USC is full, divert to MLK or Harbor UCLA”. The number of patients in hospitals can change by the minute. Also, what percentage of the patients in ICU’s are strictly Covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swabbing nasal passages is just not enough, must do throat as well. Lots of posts on Twitter about this from those who are definitely positive, but get a negative ATK if just doin nasal swab No It has to be China's fault, thats what we are brainwashed to think fullstop.

DogNo1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 According to Dr. John Campbell, whose YouTube channel I watch daily, the reason that the present vaccines are not very effective against Omicron is because the animal vector of Omicron is different. It originates from mice. It is very transmissible. Various members of my family living in different locations in the US have caught the virus from people who thought that they only had colds. They are now quarantining. Due to my advanced age, I will try to get a booster shot tomorrow at Bang Sue. The Moderna shots that I have bought are still not available. When they are, there may be a competitive signup crunch as in the past. I don’t like the way that the distribution of the vaccines is being handled in Thailand. There is no priority given to foreigners of an advanced age. I hope that I can get the Pfizer booster quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The authors emphasized that the inter-species transmission theory is just that, a theory, one of many posited so far for how omicron could have developed. (Others have previously speculated it may have developed inside a single immunocompromised person with a long-lasting infection.)" I wouldn't put too much weight on that yet.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
