The Thai Ministry of Public Health has decided not to propose the redefinition of Covid-19 as an endemic disease to the Cabinet Committee until final approval from the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) was announced.

 

Satit Pitutecha, Deputy Minister of Public Health, revealed today, May 17th, that the Ministry had not yet introduced the proposal to the Cabinet meeting despite the fact that the Covid-19 situation in Thailand was improving daily with declining numbers of daily infections and fatalities.

Oh look, the next flip-flop in an endless series. And Covid still doesn't care about what it is being declared. 

[dinsdale]

Let me guess. CCSA will say not yet. BA4 and BA5 are coming. We have to wait and see. Emergency Decree to stay in effect for another 2 months. Maybe 4. Maybe until the election.

Thailand will follow the world in next two years provided Papa Xi approves.

Truth to be told that the BA4 and BA5 variants are wrecking havoc in South Africa and it is a major concern..

Numbers may be declining, but infections are not.

I would be obliged if someone, preferably who knows what they are talking about,can inform me what the government definition of pandemic and epidemic is. OED definitions do not seem to fit with all the things I am hearing.

So don't watch the news!

We discussed it. We realize without Covid, the primary tool for repression of the masses is gone, and the reason for an emergency decree is gone with it. Better to not downgrade yet. We want more time, we want more power, we want more money. We want more of everything. Our greed cannot be satisfied. Give us more.

No, but where do we have true leadership these days? Is there any such thing as a noble leader anymore? If I were to offer some advice and criticism to Prayuth, I would say:

True leaders really are in the service of their people. True leaders act with integrity and in doing so they establish trust. True leaders genuinely value their people and in doing so they create loyalty. True leaders are in the business of assisting people to realize their full potential, and in doing so they inspire excellence. Nobody can demand respect, loyalty or trust, like you constantly do. These things have to be earned. There are no short cuts, no way to cheat the process. Great leaders have integrity and truly value their people.

 

And you do not inspire confidence, as you have never had any follow up in your weak game, you are highly insincere, and grossly incompetent and under qualified for the job. One would think after 8 years you have had time to learn. That does not appear to be the case. Prayuth, you are a terrible leader. You continue with your daily lies, and you are at a stage where nobody in this nation, other than some of the generals and cabinet ministers take you seriously anymore. You have undermined your own credibility time and time again, with bad information, fake news, broken promises, and terrible leadership. Do you even know what the definition of leadership is?

Must me a joint meeting with ex SEALS/SAS then ????

[vivananahuahin]

infections go up with ATK + 10.000 now, the most important is i think how much in ICU and ventilators, deaths how much with comorbidties? infected doesn't mean sick, so much asymptomatics, it is and will stay a very big scam from the WHO.

[Dart12]

Breeding hypochondriacs with big words and meaningless statistics,

 

all in order to crush the well-off to middle class and down into total and complete control thru social credit systems and monitoring

while working  to remove cash based money and now trying to off crypto because it is less controllable itself than the fiat systems in place.

Honestly, it's a benefit to Thailand that they are not so technologically advanced for the masses, to retain a more normal sense of freedoms (imo).

[Sydebolle]

Call Beijing for the next set of orders but "endemic" will be the case once the brethren in the red North have done and dealt with Shanghai and their other little issues of "trouble"!

Guess that would be dependent on whose invented valued, repeated narratives and credulous influence one chooses to imbibe. 

The deep conventional and mind numbing sources, even though overwhelmingly dominate, could easily be challenged and questioned by thoughtful individuals - sadly, this is not the case.

Remember he is /was a general all most of them know is how to bark out orders and demand their subordinates follow them
