Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Member #4753]

Just finished a video chat with a farm girl in Buriram. Her village has much COVID, but new sick people are neither seeking medical attention nor being tested. A common villager opinion is that the doctors and hospitals have no way of helping COVID patients but might force them to live their final days away from family.

I don't know how widespread these views are held, but it makes me think that the recent new COVID case counts of about 13,000 per day is much less than reality.

I totally agree with you. Cases are probably 3 to 5 times higher?

Really difficult to even get tested now, let alone find a hospital bed if you need it.

This is happening not only in Villages, but around greater Bangkok.

Everyone I know either has a family member that is infected or close friends that are infected. Many just ride it out at home and don't seek medical treatment.

It looks like they will have 60% of Bangkok vaccinated with 1 shot over the next 8 weeks. Probably about the same time as this crisis / wave will last.

Some of us are blessed with some disposable income while others out there are suffering a lot through these very difficult financial times. This girl saw a lady selling chicken and rice had very poor sales. What did she do? She bought all 140 orders from the vendor and donated the food to the elderly. Cost a mere 12k baht.

Why am I posting this on a sex board? The girl is cute.

So what does approval mean?

It means some entity has the Green Light to go make a Boatload of money.

Will it help the situation? Maybe. First things first. Make Boatload of money. LOL.

Thai Visa will give you a sense of what's happening on the Ground. Not good.

One. Thais don't want Sinovac.

Two. The stuff they want just not available.

Appointment s are being cancelled left and right.

Three. Thais don't want foreingers there. Or at least that is what the polls reported on Thai Visa say.

True. A few bargirls, taxi drivers and hotel and bar owners might miss what was happening here during "normal" times. But not many other Thais. They get along without us very well thanks.

Really not a start.

Start is when you get rid of all the nonsensical paperwork.

Vaccinated people.

Thailand was pushing 40 million tourists a year in 2019. So 8,000 applications is not a promising start. But it is a start.

Per AN, there have been 8000 COE applications worldwide for the Phuket sandbox. Some are rejected. Is it me or does 8000 sound extremely low and irrelevant to put even a minute dent in the Thai economy.

Thailand finally approves Pfizer so fully vaccinated Americans can now confidently enter Thailand without being afraid of being turned away at Immigration after a 20 hour flight.

I highly doubt that's was Approved means. Hahahaha.

I pray I'm wrong.

Me got two shots of Moderna.

And remember Monkeypaw's post #1180 entitled "Chaos before 69" in this same thread? Well 69th (was delayed a year) just happened a few weeks ago. So are we nearing this time for big change? Anyways, Andrea Meza (Mexico) took the crown, Julia Gama (Brazil) was first runner up, and Janick Maceta (Peru) was 2nd runner up. But Monkeypaw's top 3 is different. Winner Alina Sanko (Russia). First runner up Thuzar Wint Lwin (Myanmar). Second runner up Maria Thattil (Australia). Honorable mentions goes to Cristiana Silva (Portugal) and Adline Castelino (India). Reminder to Google image search to see all angles of the 69th Miss Universe ladies, than what the article shows. Does Monkeypaw still have that third eye?

My choices for Miss Universe are 1) Nepal, 2) China, 3) Uruguay with Miss India being an honorable mention. I hate dealing with the soi dogs but I'm guessing you just keep moving and try not to show fear. You are the boss, not them.
