you don't know you've been exposed because you have no symptoms.. 

They will say that they had no 

symptoms  because they have been multi jabbed.

If not jabbed they think they would have died for sure.

Why is this only happening in thailand ? I don’t hear any other news about it around the world. 

 

Because only Thais can still be brainwashed to be scared. Flogging this dead horse stopped working elsewhere in the world well over 2 years ago.

Then you haven't  been reading  the mews or seeing media in other countries.   Example China is very bad.  People just dropping.  They still went to work sick, just as Thais will if no one subsidies their needs.

 

LOL. Thais will just go to the hospital, get 20 pills for the sniffles and stay home. They're a pretty weak people, afraid of the slightest case of the sniffles.

A) Not sure how many times I've had Covid. 3 for sure but maybe more. Couldv'e been a cold or covid a few times then there's the odd sniffle or sore throat that's so mild it's not worth a second thought and over in a day. B) 1st time Delta pre-jab masked, 2nd time Omicron and masked sometimes. Last time (definitely covid but didn't bother testing) was last week. Haven't worn a mask for years.

As they are so "safe and effective"

are we even allowed to ask that question...surely the science has proven that  multi jabbing works....

only those dastardly anti-vaxers  get covid 

 

It would have been so much worse for these guys without the jabs… Best to laugh about it indeed, "can't fix stupid" is what the Science crew used to repeat incessantly 

Can't say I disagree.

Good question, so I looked up as best I could. USA had 201 deaths week of May 11... here's more info FWIW

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/weekly-covid-deaths

 

Right now is low season for COVID in the U.S.   High season is typically the December to January period, with usually another spike sometime in the summer months.

 

Thailand has a different COVID peak season based on the past several years, typically starting around Song Kran in mid April and continuing for several months. So we're right in the thick of it here in Thailand.

 

Lately, even in its low season, the U.S. has been running more than 1,000 COVID deaths per month.

 

That number was more than 1,000 COVID deaths per week at the start of 2025.

 

The last full week of data for COVID deaths from the U.S. CDC was May 10 with 250 (the latest blue colored column in the chart below). The last full month including that week totaled 1,225. (The last three columns are gray colored to reflect that the data for those periods is partial/incomplete.)

 

 

 

 

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00

 

The U.S.'s recent history with COVID suggest the current downturn will reverse sometime into the mid-year or fall, followed by a bigger spike around the end of the year.

 

 

Both the most recent fall 2024 and January 2025 COVID spikes in the U.S. peaked at more than 1,000 COVID deaths per week, as shown in the above CDC chart.

How many Covid vaccines have you had?

Two.

[realfunster]

It's no pandemic anymore but it is still a "thing".

Clearly weak, elderly and compromised people can have major problems with it, perhaps the 'flu is a reasonable comparison.

 

I've had it twice.

First time 2022, very mild, a very runny nose.

Second time 2024, mild, bad headache/fatigue for 24 hours.

 

I have spoken to many who have had it much worse over the past 5 years, especially in 2020-2022, with the more virulent strains.

 

One of the challenges of discussing COVID is that personal experience, on which we place great value, varies greatly.

 

Might have had it for a third time recently as it ran through the office. Felt rough for a few days but didn't test positive.

Most people in the office were fairly mild apart from one guy who lost his voice for 1 week and developed a gravelly vocalisation that Rod Stewart would be proud of for a week. Weird.

 

I'm not planning any special measures but should I feel bad and test positive, I will at least stay at home for a few days to avoid spreading it.

 

Just like I would with the 'flu.

It is happening elsewhere.  The suppression of public information on the extent of infection is sometimes intentional as  a denial, e.g. USA, China, Russia, and sometimes fearful of inflaming a small number of vocal troublemakers who will claim conspiracy, e..g. EU, Canada, Australia, UK. to benign neglect in much of the world.  

 

However, in the countries where there is a reduced public disclosure of data, there is still an emphasis on preventing serous infections through vaccination. They realize that if they can   vaccinate the high risk groups, they will have better success at containing the negative health cost.

The 'cold' and 'flu' you mention are the body 'detoxing'. Ridding itself of the junk that has accumulated in the months before.

 

They are not a disease, sickness, or an illness. Just a set of symptoms showing the body is doing its job in maintaining health.

Totally agree, too much rain = sick, too hot = sick, too cold = sick, change of wind direction = sick.

A COVID peak season? What utter nonsense. If C-19 was truly cause by a virus, every day would be a peak.

 

The truth is; there is no such entity as a covid virus.

Dr Thira Woratanarat. File photo

 

Thailand is witnessing a significant surge in Covid-19 cases, with Chulalongkorn University reporting 111,472 new cases and 31 deaths in the last week alone.

 

Dr. Thira Woratanarat of the Faculty of Medicine at the university has warned that this uptick should not be taken lightly. The total number of people who have sought treatment in 2025 has now surpassed 400,000, with Covid-related deaths exceeding those from influenza threefold.

 

According to Dr. Thira, the spike is attributed to several factors, including the spread of the highly infectious Nimbus (NB.1.8.1) variant, declining immunity levels, and a lack of preventative measures.

 

He highlighted the importance of maintaining vigilance, particularly in Thailand's elderly population, which is especially vulnerable. The professor insists that people should refrain from equating Covid-19 to the common cold or flu, as doing so could lead to complacency and a greater risk of infection.

 

Dr. Thira stresses that infected individuals should not continue with their everyday activities, urging them to stay away from workplaces and educational institutions to help curb the virus's spread.

 

The combination of widespread infections in both urban and rural areas, along with other risk factors, could lead to a significant outbreak, especially in high-risk settings such as schools, universities, offices, childcare centers, and elderly care facilities.

 

The professor's urgent appeal includes taking preventive actions, seeking appropriate medical care, and avoiding close contact with symptomatic people.

 

Dr. Thira's cautionary message aims to steer public behavior towards more cautious and responsible actions in light of the current health crisis.

 

His call for increased awareness and proactive measures highlights the importance of community effort in mitigating the spread of the virus.

 

As the situation develops, vigilance and adherence to recommended safety protocols remain crucial in managing and reducing Covid-19 cases in Thailand.

 

The recent surge serves as a stark reminder that despite past progress, the fight against Covid-19 is far from over.

I note that face-masks are reemerging. Went to my local town at the w/e and saw plenty wearing them. Also lots of discarded ones on the ground. Now there's a business opportunity if ever there was one. Pick them up, wash them and sell them at the market for half price.

How does a man who put up drywall and plastered all his life have such a deep and extensive knowledge of medical science? 

There are 200+ viruses that  can cause a common cold. Typically, the cold virus is a rhinoviruses.

Influenza is a disease that is initiated by one of the 4 influenzaviruses, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta.

The cold and flu are not as you describe.

There is no such thing as a pathogenic virus. Dr Roytas searched through at the data and found ????

He did his own YTube 'research' and when he found what agreed with his world view, it became his doctrine.

He's convinced himself that 'no one has ever isolated any virus'.... that means they don't exist in his world.

Seems like you are interested in my opinions Sir.

 

Can you explain how the white-coats are so sure a pathogenic virus exist; when they have never found one?

The sceptics don't want  to know about that.  I get messages on a regular basis from the NHS that because of my age I should get this and that. Have usually managed to get what they suggest here.

Those that continually ridicule medical advice quickly change their mind when wheeled into hospital.
