This is what happens when you allow bars to stay open until 4 am. A lot of drunk diseased-infected cretins slobbeing  around spreading their germs at all hours in the morning.

Think you will find there are probably more people wandering around shopping malls in daytime than slobbering around in bars at 4am 😂

Close the borders.

We won't even care about this when the virus comes that starts turning us into zombies.

Correct, Covid will be over and we will be working on a new illness vector. Viruses evolve, just like humans, and we will address future pathogens as they are discovered.

Probably all the 8,000 cases are vaccinated people. I know someone that lost her mother(vaxxed). Her brother is on a respirator and almost gone(vaxxed). My friend is in and out of the hospital with severe respiratory problems and horrible headaches.(vaxxed) What you are seeing are the the results from the "vaccines". So to finish them off, more testing and... vaccines. 

Do you have any evidence this is the case, apart from your own totally unqualified opinion?

Must be due to all the foreign tourists coming to Thailand.

 

Yes,all those "dirty unwashed farangs"! I wonder if Anutin will be back on parade again soon with his inane comments? He's been very quiet recently - especially about the cannabis debate!

Young people have a minuscule risk....those at risk  as was the case since the beginning  are the elderly and those with  other health issues  such as being obese...seems they want to play this whole playbook all over again..I'm hoping that most people are now a bit more "awake"  ???

One would like to think that more people have woken up but with all the other shenanigans going on globally I wouldn't count on that but, we live in hope!

I've never met a doctor who recommended exercise, a good diet or enough sun exposure and health supplements. Just medicines to sell sell sell. I don't even bother going to the doctor anymore unless I need stitches or sth like that. 

 

I find that an experienced pharmacist is more likely to give  a better diagnosis than a straight out of medical  school doctor. Of course they are in the business of selling pills as well, but unlikely to say that you need a 500,000 baht spinal operation for something that tuned out to be a trapped nerve!

There's also news on the interwebs about something nasty going around Russia and that seems to be driving an increase in mask use.  At least here in China.  I haven't seen the news myself, but my local GF has warned me to wear a mask if I may encounter any Russkies.

 

 

I tend to avoid Russkies like the plague anyway!

Thailand is witnessing a worrying resurgence of Covid-19 cases, with over 8,446 hospital visits recorded between 27th April and 3rd May. This uptick in cases has been brought to attention by Assoc Prof Dr Thira Woratanarat, a respected public health expert from Chulalongkorn University. Bangkok has emerged as the epicentre of this latest wave, logging the highest number of new infections at 2,377, according to Dr Thira's recent analysis.

 

Following Bangkok, other areas with significant numbers include Chonburi with 680 cases, Nonthaburi reporting 490, Rayong with 380, and Samut Prakan recording 327 cases. This resurgence underscores a pivotal challenge as the country hoped to maintain control over the Covid-19 situation.

 

One of the notable trends in this recent surge is the age distribution of those affected. The highest infection rates are among individuals aged 30 to 39 years, accounting for 1,794 cases. Close behind are those aged 20 to 29, with 1,540 cases. Crucially, older adults over 60 also figure prominently, recording 1,536 infections. However, it is the spike in cases among very young children, aged 0 to 4, that is raising special concern, with 682 cases identified.

 

Dr Thira has highlighted these dynamics to alert public health officials and the general public about the broader implications of this trend. He pointed out that between 4th and 7th May, Covid-19 cases were roughly double the number of influenza cases, spotlighting the severity of the current outbreak. In this period, there were 2,593 Covid-19 cases compared to 1,321 influenza cases.

 

Worryingly, there has also been one recorded Covid-19-related death during this timeframe. The health expert warns that individuals showing symptoms right now have a two-to-one likelihood of having Covid-19 over influenza, with an estimated 67% chance of contracting the virus if symptomatic.

 

In response to this renewed threat, Dr Thira stressed the importance of targeted precautions for vulnerable groups such as young children, school students, the elderly, and those already hospitalised. He advises that individuals, particularly those working, should make health assessments a routine to ensure both personal safety and the safety of others. Dr Thira also recommends routine screening for inpatients and those scheduled for surgery, helping to safeguard patients and medical staff within healthcare facilities.

 

He further called on educational institutions, childcare centres, elderly care facilities, and hospitals to adopt and enforce effective risk management strategies promptly. Quick action is necessary, he emphasised, to prevent a broader outbreak that could affect diverse age groups. The call for vigilance and proactive measures aligns with a global understanding that pandemic control requires collective effort and community-wide commitment.

Is this the medical profession trying to get rich again? If it is not this time it soon will be.

Government fraud . The government is corrupt. They are out of money. There was never a COVID19 . A virus invented by BILL GATES.

Just WHAT are these risk management strategies?  WHAT are these institutions supposed to DO actually?

I guess SEM images of the coronavirus are all deep fakes then. There never was a moon landing, and all COVID vaccines contain nanochips.

Lock down Bangkok! There are too many of them here in Pattaya causing huge traffic problems as their driving skills are usually very bad 😉

[johng]

Remember when the locked down Pattaya ?  had to show papers to enter or leave

closed the beaches too   it was crazy    the shops could only sell food  no appliances  and for a while they even banned booze !!!!!

I got covid 8 days ago. 

I lost all sense of smell and taste and it is unclear when or if it comes back. 

Since I enjoy cooking, this is a nightmare trip for me. Another side effect is that chilies no longer taste spicy, because the smell and heat sensations share the same signal pathway.

If Bill Gates invented  COVID19, it wouldn't work. You would never hear of it. A bug full of bugs. Every infection would crash.

Very strange it is only Thailand - the hub of Covid paranoia. 

There are no apparent resurgences in neighboring countries, in fact I Googled to research any other resurgences and there were none.

Perhaps this Dr Thira releases scaremongering information to keep himself employed!

Happy I live in Cambodia. 

I will remove my old mask from its shelf and brush off the dust ready to wear - just in case I have to visit Thailand.

No further comment from me.

FYI. I got Covid about 10 weeks ago. I suffered a lot more than the first time that i got it about 2 years ago (which was very mild), and, although the Covid lasted for a week or two, still feeling whacked out every day for the last 10 weeks.

But then they opened the beaches, hotels and some bars but banned tourists. It was great; open roads, easy shopping, being customer appreciated in restaurants and shops, and dirt cheap luxury hotels in great resorts. One of my best times in Thailand.

I had a white cloth mask that I wore extremely begrudgingly  because they were mandated to go into shops   used it for about 2 years and it was tatty and worn  I wanted to frame it as a reminder of the idiocy  but  it disappeared  I think my wife threw it away while I wasn't looking 😭
