Lessons need to be learned for the next pandemic from Asia

I'd hazard a guess that the only lesson to be learned would be how to massage and misrepresent the figures.

I do not believe their figures for a minute.

I think you can go privately and pay to get it right?

I don't know but one factor surely must be the quarantine requirements. Thailand put a quarantine in place for all incoming visitors...you must quarantine in a hotel for two weeks when you arrive. The quaretine is managed by government, it is not optional, security on every level of the hotels. Meanwhile we still haven't even made a negative test mandatory yet.

Thailand shut down their tourism industry. They are facing massive issues as a result of this decision.

Thought I read about Johnny Giles getting it privately in the UK. I stand corrected.

There will be a point later in the year that it will be available privately. But only once there are sufficient public doses.

I think he got it due to his age in the UK.

You can't get it privately in the U.K., he got it from the NHS

I'd happily pay if it mean I received it sooner (once moral/ethical side covered in that as you say sufficient public doses available).

I paid for my smallies to have the Meningitis B vaccine (before it was added to the schedule) and the chicken pox vaccine (one got them the week before they were due the vaccine and they were destroyed with them).

Sure but the question was how have they managed to keep infections so low.

I thought the chickenpox vaccine is not part of the routine childhood vaccination programme in Ireland and only ever done privately.

Yeah I know, that's why I paid for it, but the Men B has been added since and all children get it.

An explanation

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/16/thailand-cambodia-covid-19-cases-deaths-low

But it looks like they are now heading into the same choppy sea as the rest of us.
That 4200 cases on Dec 15 is now over 10,500.

Aye none of my 3 kids ever had a chicken pox vaccine, in fact they all subsequently had chicken pox usually around the age of 4-6.

That recent spike in numbers is obviously from household visits during the christmas period, so why closing shops, restaurants and gyms??? WHY??? It's not them causing the spike.

I stopped excercising last year in March.. I was working on something, I was getting somewhere. I lost some weight, gained muscle. It was great 5-6 months and I was looking forward to get healthier and healthier. Continued for a while during the first lockdown but somehow I don't have a swimming pool at home, sauna and fully equipped gym so I gave up. Saunas are closed since March.. unbelievable. I was lucky that I traveled in August abroad and used sauna there. Great feeling knowing I could sweat out all the toxins from my body.

Horribly mismanaged this whole covid thing, I hope the government will get sued once the dust settles.. Closing everything down, opening everything, closing and opening... What a circus ran by clowns. Unbelievable.

The sad thing is i know personally of 2 people who work in nursing / care home and are refusing the jab. It absolutely boggles my mind.

Any idea why? I get personal autonomy and all that but not sure that outweighs duty to protect others especially in roles like that.

That's not obvious, because it's not exclusively due to that. Numbers had already increased significantly before household visits were allowed. The reasons for the increases are multifactorial.

Even leaving that aside, it's not some sort of blame game where we only close things that contributed most to spread. Our levels of community transmission has exploded and we have a more transmissible variant, so what settings caused spread in December is almost immaterial at this point, we need to remove opportunities to cause spread now.

Thinking it's appropriate to open restaurants and gyms right now is not the most sensible view to have.

Trajectory does seem to be downward thankfully

Quite good indeed.

The good trend continues. 7-day rate now 19.19%

Expect a hiccup tomorrow.
