Someone may have posted similar to this on this or another of the lengthy threads on Covid. But it doesn't hurt to reiterate exactly what the disease does to you if you are unfortunate enough to catch it.

This is what COVID-19 does to your body and why it can kill

But what does SARS-CoV-2 do to the body? And how can it take a life in just two weeks? Elliott and Dr Stephen Parnis, a Melbourne emergency medicine specialist who has worked with COVID patients, talk us through it.......

The U.S. Embassy sent out a rather vague e-mail to U.S. expats pointing to the Thai Government Intervac Site for appointments. Deeper into the links showed a new site is supposed to go live tomorrow at this link: https://expatvac.consular.go.th/ The Intervac site focuses almost entirely on the Bangkiok area and states clearly it is for SINOVAC and Astra Zeneca vaccines. It makes no reference to the newly arrived Pfizer that has 150,000 doses dedicated to over 60 expats...

here's the Intervac link: https://thailandintervac.com/

4,893 in ICU as of today. If this goes up to around 6,800 (give or take a 100) it will match, at least on a per capita basis, the US's ICU use in January when covid was at its worst there.

Eh? Who's making these PDFs? The PDF file name is 3-Aug and the contents 16-Jun?

The latest COVID email from UK embassy is dated 29-Jul and it's not in PDF format, just html email.

I'm making them but my pdf maker got it wrong and redid the one for last June.

I have CORRECTED the post ABOVE with the CORRECT 3rd August 2021 edition which is the LATEST edition.

Sorry for the momentary confusion.

Latest update to Boris's Quarantine Holiday Bingo has just been released.

Thailand stays on the amber list as well as Malaysia so I'm happy (for now).

TGF got a phone call from one of her friends saying that tomorrow there is a WALK-IN vaccination clinic at CENTRAL 4th floor from 8 AM and foreigners are welcome.. Anyone heard of this ?

[nutosf]

Nam Som is offering walk-in Sinovac vaccine tomorrow. They plan on giving up to 300 vaccines. I wonder how many people will show up?

[Drunk Monkey]

Not heard that monk ..but tomorrow is vaccine day at Nong Khai general Hospital .. all the staff approx 20 ppl from the factory here in are booked in to go and get Sinovac first jabs .. also the hospital where i had a recent surgery TCPH in Thabo will be having a walk in vaccine day and will call to confirm a few days before .. seems to be more opportunities coming up for a vaccine but having registered via the expatvac site for hopefully Pfizer and paid for Moderna at BKKUDH i will soon run out of arms to put the needle in.

Keep safe all.

DM this might answer your question :
<<
As of 6pm on Monday (Aug 2), a total of 28,788 expats had registered on the Expatvac platform following its launch on August 1, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Tanee Sangrat announced on Twitter.
Of those, 22,653 were expats under the age of 60, with 6,135 people aged over 60 also registering.
A further 1,916 people with underlying health conditions, along with 114 pregnant women also registered.
In his tweet, Mr Tanaee said that vaccination appointment dates will likely be after August 10 or 11.
Previously, Thailand's Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said that 150,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, donated by the US government, would be allocated for foreigners in Thailand.

Ban Dung Hospital was set up with several marquies on the western side offering AZ and/or Sinovac. I believe there were VERY few takers. My friends 16yo daughter was told by her teacher (doing home tuition) to reject it, it was offered to her via a phone call?? Her mother also rejected listening to too many jungle drums. I told her if she wants Pfizer she had better start jumping up and down on top of the 78yo olde man and get 12 weeks pregnant in a hurry. 555555
She hit me!

Regrettably the only vaccine that is possibly available here is Sinovac AFIK AZ is not available.

I have a second offer of Sinovac, the first time since there were few doses available it was easy to pass. It’s not such an easy choice this time.
