I wouldn’t believe a word the government put out,the same bs as saying they will sell the vaccine in private hospitals.you can’t buy the vaccine anywhere.dont believe me then just google it.here in the Uk most of us have had the jab or both like myself and the country has been released after 6 months of lockdown.in fact the Uk seems to have gone mad.i went on the pee yesterday and no one was wearing masks even though they should unless sat down.as far as business and work are going its bloody mental.you can’t get a tradesman to work for less than £200-£300 a day and London is even higher.
The shops are running out of supplies,for example a bag of cement went from £5 to £8 a bag and the same goes for a lot of building materials.the order books have gone through the roof.in fact it feels like we’ve been at war and got over it.
I went to two bars last night and everyone was buying trays of Yeager bombs left,right and centre.i should of took a picture of a table full of drinks just left there for anyone to drink.
Anyway the Thai government should stop blurting out that they will sell the vaccine and have a few cases because it doesn’t help them getting their hands on the vaccine as it hasn’t anything to do with money else all them that could afford it would be at the front of the queue and the poorest would die.the World health organisation will look at the bs statistics and as Thailand’s gov say there’s hardly a problem they will look at places like India who do have a massive problem and allocate supplies where it’s needed most.if you read what the gov put out you’ve been in Thailand too long.

Not to excuse the local government for their covid (in)action plan, but no fair comparing developed countries with developing.

With a population opf over 70 million, NOT counting the expat community which I hazard a guess at nearly ONE MILLION, 50 million falls short of everyone getting a third dose , if it is felt it is required .

The population of Thailand is

2019 data
"At various points over the last decade, informal and unofficial figures given to Thaivisa from various government agencies have estimated the expat population in Thailand to be anywhere between 500,000 and 1 million."
BUT
But figures released earlier this year by the United Nations, citing Thailand’s Immigration Bureau, reveal that Thailand’s expat population is considerably smaller than even those vague estimates.
According to figures in the 2019 Thailand Migration Report, there are just 150,707 expats residing in Thailand, of those 72,969 are retirees.
The population of Thailand is set at 66.2 Million
