Here, this link might be useful. When you were caught out thinking this TfL employer was real, like Trump, your excuses were laughable not the content and deserve to invite ridicule. Trump was given a panning by his aids for not following the rules - don't explain, don't make excuses, just move on. Take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top4718 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The current data for Thailand is quite interesting (SE Asia has generally coped well) if you compare a graph of the numbers of vaccinated alongside a graph of cases they both rise at the same time (late July/early August), very odd.

butlers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 https://thediplomat.com/2021/06/what-explains-vietnams-current-covid-19-struggles/ They are in a tough spot. Hardly anyone fully vaccinated , they were trying to develop thier own vaccines and have lost the race. The Sinopharm one which might be available is relatively poor compared to the western ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand like many other countries is experiencing a huge increase in numbers of cases. Thailand like many other countries is vaccinating more and more people. So the graph you describe is exactly what you expect. A factor specific to Thailand is that it initially failed to secure sufficient stocks of vaccine. The delay and acceleration in vaccination and coincides with dates of the huge increase in cases. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand Our World Data is an up to date source for all countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 As of August 7, just 8.2 per cent of Vietnam's population had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Less than 1 per cent had been fully vaccinated Delta varient reckoned to be about 4 times more transmisable R 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many countries the number of cases in Thailand has been much, much lower than say in the UK. There are plenty of sources that will tell you why certain countries have lower/higher histories of infection. Similar geographic/demographic/climactic countries have experiences and similar rates of infection as the Delta variant arrives and then spreads in their country. Using the data linked to before you will notice that Thailand(6.6% vaccinated)/Myanmar(2.8%)/Vietnam(1%) are way behind Laos(16.9%), Cambodia( 39.1%), Malaysia(28.9% ). Political decisions made in Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam in obtaining stocks of vaccine have delayed their vaccination programmes. All three countries believed that the Global Covid Pandemic had passed them by. The explosion in Delta variant cases caught them out and has forced them to respond. That is why vaccination and recorded cases are rising at the same time. Edited August 12, 2021 by Annie Bynnol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
