Patting themselves on their back again. many others would disagree with this statement. It was expected to gradually improve and would become endemic in early July 2022. Whilst most of the modern world gets on with life and has made it endemic already. I supposed we should expect a delay in the obvious. 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ukrules Posted March 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2022 If there were half a million cases per day I reckon it will take about 3 more months if that level is maintained - including the previous Omicron infections. Half a million cases per day sounds massive but it's not when you consider that most people will have no idea that they're infected at all or think they've got a normal cold. Of course that all depends on how many cases they've already had which is far higher than they admit or even speculate about. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health expects Covid-19 to be fully treated as ‘endemic’ by July Junta won’t want that. Gawd forbid they would relinquish total control and suffer the ignominy of the minions protesting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rainham Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 I've been listening to this misinformation that is worrying people it's wrong but it makes people scared I've had over 2 years of this misinformation I've had 3 vaccines and I'm not sick. in fact the only person i know that was so sick he was in a coma for a month was my mate who chose not to have the Vaccine he was on a ventilator and dialysis when he was discharged he couldn't walk or talk he was lucky 43 years old he regrets not being vaccinated bless him that's how serious people talking rubbish on social media can be please double check all so called truths I'm still getting people phoning me up saying the vaccines I've had are to control me haha 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stargeezr Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 One household of my Thai family in Bangkok, has contracted omicron. only one of the children has so far tested negative. The rest are happy that they all had their vaccinations, and are only feeling like it is a bad flu, so far. Thankfully the rest of the family is bringing them food and other things that they need, Unfortunately, the workers will not be paid, because some cannot work from their home, as their jobs are not high tech. There are some people who still get sick enough that they have to spend time in a hospital, and it is not cheap for the Thais either. Pandemic or endemic, with the numbers of people still getting sick, that does affect the work forces in Thailand. I would feel fortunate if I was an expat with enough finances that I do not have to work in Thailand or anywhere to survive. My thought for the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulikens Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 they gotta convince the thai public its a endemic first, that will be the hardest problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 if anyone really believes that the vaccines did not save hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of lives and in fact caused problems for more than a handful of people worldwide then I'm happy not to be in their company. The same people probably believe that the Earth is flat and that the sun revolves around the Earth. It must do surely, as it moves across the sky. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arithai12 Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 We can discuss until the end of time but back in 2021 the vaccines saved the human race's backside. It's all good to discuss in 2022 that there may be unintended long term effects (I stress "may") but without the vaccines many of us wouldn't be here to talk about it. And the fact that among those still dying of Covid the overwhelming majority are no-vax should mean something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted March 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thailand will enforce public mask wearing for years to come. As soon as there is no longer a legal mandate, mine's coming off. The only reason I wear it is to play along to get along. But they work! Spray some Bear Spray in a room, put a mask on, step in and take a big breath. The Bear Spray particles are larger than any SARS virus. Let us know how the experiment works out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubbaJohnny Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) A difficulty in a place where , lying, disinformation, misinformation, bribery , nepotism are normalized and just plain ignorance abound. I cannot recall a leader admitting they lied or were in error lately , a fault not unique to here. Added to this suppurating barrier is of course the self imposed shackle of trying not to embarrass the oppressors via "Loss of face". Of course aside from tourism or needs of imported labour the regime, it's not really governing more like crisis management while fooling/robbing the citizens so wants any lever to control dissent movement, Easier to make protest marches illegal than waste more bullets shooting nurse in Bangkok. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2018/12/11/mother-of-slain-nurse-charged-for-constitution-day-rally/ Edited March 7, 2022 by RubbaJohnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people probably believe that the Earth is flat and that the sun revolves around the Earth. It must do surely, as it moves across the sky. I'm sure the vaccine saved many hundreds of thousands of lives around the world when Delta and the previous versions of the virus hit. Omicron, not so much. We either need a new vaccine or it becomes a cold after wiping out all the vulnerable, or some combination of both. I suspect it will end up as a combination of both for a while ending in a new 'cold' with some future variant. The currently circulating incarnations of all the cold viruses (ignoring influenza as that's very different) have all been mutating for centuries, some of them 1000's of years. There's nothing new, it's all happened before and will all happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHansen Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 "Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health expects Covid-19 to be fully treated as ‘endemic’ by July" Only four more months of all the restrictions i guess, then it's time to remove the ones that are not making anyone richer anymore and just keep the restrictions that earn the most for the chosen few 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
