    Shame people don’t appreciate the efforts of the nurses and volunteers working round the clock to reach these numbers. 
     

    Sad indictment of society today and the type of people who frequent these forums nowadays. 

    You do realize that one of the reasons the nurses and volunteers working so hard right now is because of the lack of vaccines right?

    I seem to remember some "doomsayers" (not my word!) were predicting a far worse doomsday scenario, on a par with India.  At least we can be grateful they were wrong about that.

    You do realize that Thailand have a much higher positivity rate than India right? At this point nobody can really tell if Thailand will end up worse than India or not. Theres not enough data yet.

    Actually today in uk -:     1,072,576 tests, of which 2381 were  positive! and 15 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.  So not that much different from Thailand, except the number of tests. However I imagine the Thai testing is more focused on areas / people of concern, whereas the UK is testing anybody who wants testing even if they are from areas with very low infection rates. If you think about it, a negative test is actually, in reality a wasted test

    I get your point but i just dont agree with saying the UK has a lower rate than Thailand. Very misleading, however a convenient excuse by some people here that want to try justify their own countries horrible handling of the pandemic. (Not talking about you btw)

     

    So in theory i can do 10 tests, if 5 of those tests shows positive then thats a infection rate of 50%? Highest in the world? 

     

    The UK have over 4.4 million registered infections, Thailand dont even have over 100.000 but somehow UK have a lower covid rate? 

     

    We both know thats ridiculous.

     

    I do agree with you about the testing. If Thai tested the same way the UK has (which i hope they do), the rate would be much lower in Thailand... at least for now.

    This Covid 'rate' you set such store by, how is it determined? 

     

     

    You were the one mentioned countries with lower covid rates than Thailand, not me.

     

    Did the vaccine mess up your memory?

     

    You were trying to make it sound that the UK had a lower covid rate than Thailand (L O L) and therefore having a quarantine would be useless in stopping mutations for vaccinated people. 

     

    Then when you realized that your arguments didnt hold up then you came up with the Myanmar narrative. 

     

    You also keep avoiding answering my questions so i guess they are too complicated for you...

     

    Then you give me a quote without any link or source thinking you won the argument? ????

     

    I can post 10 quotes that says otherwise but whats the point? 

     

    Arguing with you is like arguing with a 65 year old stubborn man that still think he is 35... or you might just be a simple covid denier? 

     

    Its funny how some people tend to complain and whine about a few extra days/expenses in quarantine rather than to care about the risks they put others around them in.

     

    Then again, im not surprized. It was exactly that attitude that totally ruined the European countries in the first place so you must be proud of yourself. 

     

    PS. I would easily give you 20k to help you out if you cant afford it.

    What about Myanmar? Very low rate there.....

     

    So now you have narrowed it down to people...

     

    *Already vaccinated

     

    *From countries with lower covid rates than Thailand. (Your specific example “Myanmar”)

     

    *Can afford to travel and can afford to pay for ASQ

     

    To have a 14 day quarantine for people that fits this highly specific criteria, wont prevent mutations to spread. 

     

    Well, you got me there.

    That's what vaccines usually do. You mean to say you didn't know?

     

    You are 'sure your home country'...you seem to know a  lot about me. And what's my passport to do with anything?

     

    And prove? All I said is that that my current residence country has a lower Covid rate than Thailand's. What's there to prove?

     

    But other than it's a complete waste of B20,000, an extra 10 days doesn't bother me. As I said, at least I'm vaccinated (Pfizer).

     

    I think you're just jealous...????

     

     

     

    You are telling me that you know for sure that vaccines does 100% prevent infections and transmission even with the new mutations? Wow...

     

    Even the worlds top scientists are not sure about this but somehow you are. 

     

    Or did you meant to say you didnt know?

     

    My statement about your home country obviously was to justify quarantine in Thailand assuming you were talking about your home country.

     

     “And how will slapping an extra 10 days quarantine onto fully vaccinated people coming from countries with lower covid rates than Thailand achieve that particular goal? “

     

    Now you say you were NOT talking about your home country but a country that you now residence in. Hmm... Is that because you just realized that your home country have a much higher covid rate? Lol

     

    Im still quite curious on which countries that have a lower covid rate than Thailand, i know a few but not many. And those who have, they have even MORE strict quarantine rules than Thailand. 

     

    And going back to your statement again, would you still stand by your statement if were to change it to countries with a HIGHER covid rate than Thailand?

     

    If you are not bothered by 20,000 bht and an extra 10 days, then what is the problem? 

     

    Jealous of you? Because you can afford 20,000 bht? Yeah, you are amazing.

    Does vaccine prevent infection and spread of the virus? 
     

    Which countries with lower covid rates are you talking about now? Im pretty sure your home country have a higher covid rate than Thailand... but feel free to prove me wrong.

    According to the World Obesity Foundation, one is ten times more likely to die from a COVID-19 infection if one is obese. Vietnam has one of the lowest death rates of this pandemic, and also the lowest level of obesity.

    Come to think of it, when I was in Vietnam on holiday a few years ago, McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut were conspicuous by their absence.

    Vietnam have a low death rate because a low infection rate. Low infection rate is because they closed the borders very early and dont let in any freedom loving covid deniers. 

     

    But i do think that asian countries have less obesity and it could be one of many reasons why the death rates is lower.

    I think, the way things are working right now, any western foreigner who tested positive for COVID in Bangkok, at least, probably would have the alternate option of serving their quarantine in a "hospitel" (hospital-hotel) room. But AFAIK, that would be at their personal expense or that of their insurance coverage.

     

    I get what you are saying, but again.

     

    I wouldnt see deniers jumping queue trying to get tested, even if they knew about hospitels. 

     

    Personal expense? Then forget it... ????

    It's just so disheartening.  I'm younger (in my 30's) and had been lucky enough to travel here multiple times the past few years. After my first extended trip, I knew I had to end up here eventually. And then as things deteriorated in the US to the point where I realized there was no hope for the country, that clinched it (and that was before covid)

     

    I had a great business opportunity and came over, knowing how to respect the culture and doing everything I could to do so (I won't even cross my legs anymore when sitting, lest I point my feet), putting in the effort to to learn as much of the language as quickly as possible, and now it's all for f*cking nothing. All to sit here and witness the same exact mistakes and destruction I had to live through last year, only this time the country won't be able to rebound quite like my old one has.

     

    Where to add insult to injury, the few times I walk the streets, I can feel the gaze of others judging me for being a farang, as if I'm responsible for this

    I totally understand you. Thats why im going so hard against these deniers, they make all foreigners look bad unfortunally.

    I believe, the MoPH has reported that the vast majority of COVID cases in Thailand thus far have been Thais, followed by a substantial number of Myanmar people. In comparison, western farangs are barely a blip on the statistical screen... not to say there are not some out there.

     

    I am aware of that but i was referring to the people that i have seen walking around without masks and ignoring health guidelines. Those have so far been foreigners. (Westerners and non-westerners)

     

    And then judging from what some people say here, many would choose not to get tested even if they have slight symptoms in fear of being forced to go to a field hospital.  

     

    I dont believe for a second that covid deniers would be first in line to get tested, would you? 

     

    Then on the other hand, the foreigners that are being careful probably have much less risk to get covid so they wouldnt even need to get tested in many cases.

    Yep, it is a real contradiction: the more control the government takes in the initial stages of the epidemic, the more freedom people have later on. 

     

    The anti-lockdown types will never understand this. Their response will be "China, Vietnam blah, blah, freedums, etc." 

    Its funny how anti-lockdown people dont even have enough braincells to understand that it is their anti-lockdown attitude/behavior that causes lockdowns in the first place.
