What he's doing is copying Boris Johnson's rise to P.M. Both unfit to be P.M. But the populace and loves and admires them because they are born leaders, being entertaining, and relating to what lockdown impoverished people need to see in a leader - even if it's a whole bag of lies. Omicron, now an endemic, is a great platform to sell his wares. Just putting himself at the same level or better than the USA government, is a voting gimme for Thais. 

 

Note: entertain people and they will consistently like you, whatever you do. Human nature.

As an American having witnessed “The Donald”, I am unable to address the foibles of other global citizens. I would agree as far as the spirit of Thai cooperation versus the nonsense reflected by far too many Americans refusing to acknowledge there does exit a medical concern best dealt with via taking medical advice.

Not entirely true. FYI the Thais have tasted "pursuit of happiness" under Thaksin's administration.

More than 2700 innocent people and there families would not agree with you, because they were killed in the so called war on drugs under Thaksin.

Damn! He missed the trick of reminding us how many vaccines Thailand donated to the inferior USA… I’ve got that the right way round haven’t I ..?  ????‍♂️ 

[Eric Loh]

We may dislike him but comparing data he does have a point. Thailand fully vaccinated is at 68.7% compare USA at 63.9% and they started earlier while deaths to date is 37k Thailand and USA a whopping 882 k. We can extrapolate according to population size and still the US deaths is massively disproportionate. Looking forward the picture for US is even more alarming with vaccination crawling slowly and breakdown of order for masking and social distance. Price you pay for freedom of speech. Thailand looks much better looking forward.

Hello ,

 

Maybe Aunutin should go back to basic math school  ???? Very easy to make a boobish statement like this when your total population is over 71 Million and you’ve only tested just over 246,000 citizens !!

CONSIDER THE SOURCE PEOPLE !! ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS !! 

It's 246,459 per million which makes is approx 16,5 million tests in total.

 

That's still a very low number for such a huge population if you compare them to the country that test most in the world.

Denmark test roughly 80 x more than Thailand.

 

Some truths can be found in between the lines if you look at Active cases/critical, serious cases.

Denmark has 521.237 cases but only 33 serious cases!

Thailand has 83.936 cases but a staggering 588 serious cases which tells me their active cases are way way higher than the daily numbers report.

I think we're looking at several hundred thousands positive cases per day in Thailand and not  8000 as they publish.

 

But not all bad for Thailand.

When we look at deaths pr million Thailand ranks 91th in the world

Denmark is 116th so Thailand did better on deaths, which is a good thing.

Hey make believe dOCTOR,  

First, you be should be thanking America for the Donation  of 15 million Pfiza doses!

Second, there are 334 million Americans and 537 million  doses given with a population of 211 million fully vaccinated.

That’s 63.9% of the country.
 

Thailand, 1 dose 51 million most with the Chinese SinoVac (555). Then 47.9 million fully vaccinated. Oh yea and only 70 million in the Thai population. 
wake up Alpha Hotel.

 

Okay, ANUTIN, I love you long time.

Jup-Jup Dirty Farang

Ya, strangely enough, just about the same share as in Thailand -- about one-third of the population in each country has NOT been fully vaccinated, meaning two doses.

 

 

Just to set the record straight a bit, here's the latest vaccination data for the U.S. and Thailand. Thailand has actually pulled ahead a bit lately in terms of full vaccination rate (shown in dark green), though these data don't reflect the rates of third shot boosters nor do they reflect the effectiveness of the vaccines used.

 

Frankly, for the U.S. to be trailing Thailand slightly, or anywhere close to Thailand on this kind of measurement, ought to be considered as a national embarrassment for the U.S.   But then again, everyone well knows by now exactly why about one-third of the U.S. has refused to get vaccinated for COVID thus far -- and it's not due to a lack of vaccines.

It should also be noted you [deleted] it was the U.S. who gave over 2million doses of PFizer to get your Delta running wild under control while you were giving the CCP a <deleted>.  Then a million doses of Moderna that your brain dead self couldn't locate the paperwork,  not to mention 20 million cash and another 40 million in medical equipment.

350+ k population plays 75million... USA gave you The Pfizer vaccine <deleted>.... Thailand uses The $ to overvalue it's Baht.

 

Many Thais enjoy a great life in USA  .. With freedoms they could never dream of back homes, as do many others that made USA it's home.

 

Show some gratitude.

 

The only thing you have in common..Is dodgy Elections to install Government.

Please don’t compare yourself to ANY western nation. Just don’t! He wears a mask here to hide an obvious grin that knows he’s testing a fartful of people in an oppressed state compared to millions upon millions per day in a FREE one. No one will ever know Thailand’s figures because there is no appetite or incentive and results are sino-style suppressed based on face. Just say thanks to the west for developing your vaccines and then shut up. Bwaaah, no more, a waste of space urchin. I’m done!

I know I am stepping on many toes that I should not but I wonder if we have as much freedom in the US as you seem to think we do.  Perhaps some people do … 

[SunnyinBangrak]

No fan of Anutin, but what he did is correct and appropriate, and indeed expected of him. Politicians from any country should do their utmost to further the interests of their own country. The insanity of western politicians trashing their country and name calling their traditional populations to win favor is sickening beyond imagination. Carry on Khun Anutin...

[The Hammer2021]

Since the Covid-19 outbreak Thailand  has consistently performed  better than the USA, which in itself  is not difficult. Thailand  were ranked in the top  ten in the world at one time but were let down by their vaccination  program. The USA, for a 'modern' 'civilised' country is doing very  poorly, poor vaccine  take up rates, lack of leadership and a divided  people.

He praised Thais for their spirit of cooperation particularly for their mask wearing compliance and hand washing

I finally agree with something Anutin says.  The Thai people have basically complied from my viewpoint with mask wearing, social distancing, hand washing and vaccination.  This is despite the many governmental delays with vaccination and demeaning lockdowns affecting local economies.  I give the Thai people credit for basically ignoring Anutin and his ignorance as he makes my blood boil.  And I truly hope this all goes away soon and hopefully Anutin will too.

[rudi49jr]

Let’s be honest, the USA haven’t exactly set the bar very high when it comes to responding to the COVID pandemic, so it’s not very hard to do a better job. The problem is that from the start everything has been hugely politicized in the USA, like having to wear a mask was compared to being a Jew in nazi Germany. Way too many crazies and nutbags over there ran with it, and are stil running with it.

[RayOday]

I have no words to explain the mind of this arrogant fool. Hubris always looses. 

1. Hofstra educated in the U.S. (Hofstra won't give out his grades).

2) His obsequious fuq up with Siam Bioscience.

3) His open arms for US vaccine donations. Which includes the vaccines of choice for boosters.

4) His bragging that everything is under control thanks to him in Thailand  just prior to Omicron (he dodged a bullet).

5) His emperor has no clothes approach as Thailand's savior.

6) Highway deaths per Capita (should be his metric so take responsibility if you are so great in getting things done).

I could add to this list as his character flaws are innumerable.

The only thing he has done in terms of public policy is the advancement in marijuana regulation. There must be a benefit there. What a sad representative of the good people of Thailand.

[Dialemco]

Now he wears a mask does not want to declare Covid Endemic in Thailand nor cancel state of emergency. It is what he has not said which is more important

No, it sounds like i'm a person who's quoting the figures. Facts. Lol.

Western economies supported their businesses and citizens with economic support so that they would bounce back when the economy reopened.

Guess what? They did.

 

Thailand has the most unequal wealth distribution of SE Asia. No support for the population but you, like most Thai huggers, bang on about a country you most likely burned your bridges with years ago.

Living in Nakhon Nowhere blaming everyone but themselves.

I would think Thailand's Hi-so's did very well out of the pandemic.

Try and accept the reality and facts.

Got any links about Thailand's GDP growth?

What do you think Thailand's real unemployment rate is with tourism going from 40 million to 400,000?

 

What are the Thai authorities doing to help their citizens?

A 5000 baht hand out.

Laughable.

There is no comparison to America. This idiot is talking out of his ar****e.

To start with the population of America is 329.5 million compared to Thailand  69.58 million.

Also most of the quality vaccines are coming from America and Europe, together with the expertise. 

Being a Brit it is very rare I will support America, but they are far superior than Thailand

Living in Thailand we are so lucky to have Eng. Anutin and Dr. Yong passing on their daily worldly words of wisdom. Where would we be without them? Thailand No.1....

That's not true, even Cuba has developed successful vaccines.
