webfact 140158 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 by Natthaphon Sangpolsit BANGKOK (NNT) - Health authorities have postponed their evaluation of the COVID-19 situation and the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants in pursuit of greater clarity on the issue. The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will instead make its assessment on Friday (8 July). National Security Council Secretary-General Gen Supoj Malaniyom said moving the CCSA discussion on the endemic transition plan scheduled for last Friday (1 July) was necessitated by the recent easing of disease control measures, which in turn required adjustments and clarification on the transition. The health ministry is now making the necessary adjustments and will be presenting the plan to the CCSA meeting for acknowledgment and endorsement. Gen Supoj noted that relevant medical personnel are still performing analyses and making their determinations, but assured that authorities were prepared to manage the situation. He added, however, that members of the public are encouraged to continue following disease prevention guidelines. Deputy Public Health Minister Dr Sathit Pitutecha meanwhile said the transition to the post-pandemic phase does not mean everyone should remove their face masks. He nevertheless indicated that new infections are not expected to result in a rise in severe cases or fatalities, adding that the current number of available hospital beds is expected to be adequate. Dr Sathit also encouraged people, especially members of vulnerable groups, to get their COVID booster vaccines as soon as possible. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-07-02 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

blazes 5352 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 2 hours ago, alyx said: i am lost.. So am I, I must confess. If I've had the two main vaccine shots, and subsequently had Boosters 3 and 4, does that mean that anyone without those two Boosters is, in effect, UNvaccinated, cos their (so-called) immunity has, quite simply, after a lapse of more than 12 months, just disappeared.......??? I sincerely look forward to being corrected as to the possibly incorrect assumptions in the above remarks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct, but not an issue as boosters remain effective. Best is to get one every 4 months. I'll have my 5th shot end on this month.

internationalism 7199 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 they have rushed with unmasking on public transport. Others countries, like germany, keep it all the time. There is large chance masking will come back to europe sometimes this month. There won't lock down, but some other measures. New european wave is caused by summer international travel. The next one would be winter one. Looks, like 2-3 waves per year are likely in europe. Not sure about thailand, which is more isolated from the world, than europe without internal borders and large, mobile population Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because I chose to get the shots whenever there was an opportunity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long 6343 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Does the virus know what we call it? Will it change its behaviour once we start calling it endemic? You know, like it knows the time and when to come out or hide and it knows when we're eating etc. Or is it like an oak tree that doesn't think at all, and even if it could think it wouldn't understand its new name or care to change its behaviour just for us? What is it was a trans-virus, where it decided what it wanted to be called all of a sudden? What would we do then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

twix38 469 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) And getting a booster when protection drops low between 4 and 6 months. So imv a booster around every 6 months. Hence 2 a year is prudent worked around any new variant issues. Btw, vaccines don't stop you catching Covid. Their real worth is effective at reducing hospitalization and death plus reduction in long covid risk. That's kinda worth it!!!

You should just get a water cooler and have them deliver you 20 liter bottles of vaccine to your house. You can make coffee and boil pasta with it. Or maybe a bathtub full? A pool?? Maybe Kool aid would be better for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernietravelling 64 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Thai officials: you are again not following the Plan! RTFM - Read the F.xxing Manual ! The planned duration was 3 years, therefore you have now to stop and rebuild. If you don’t know, where to find the plans, look it up in the internet: - Event201 in October 2019 (John Hopkins University and BLM Foundation) - Operation Lockstep in 2010 (Rockefeller Foundation) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
