I don’t think these days, many popular countries require any testing to travel to by plane, if you are vaccinated.

Even Thailand may soon drop the requirement for the rat.

Thanks Doodoo

Quite a list. My main comment was for popular destinations that old farts ( not sure what age an old fart is determined by, most likely 70+ ) on UM would frequent.
My missus is in Singapore with the young one and no test requirement, although tourists are issued a token or dongle which is attached to the app. Once a tourist enters an establishment security will check you are vaccinated.
A lot of young UM blokes will soon be heading back, if not already, myself included to destinations for employment now airlines are operating and those flight and country entry restrictions have eased in many countries.

I think popular opinion was that cases would spike post Songkran.....but, instead, the numbers have been on the downhill slide. Is the end near?

[stattointhailand]

"Is the end near?"

or are the figures being manipulated?

"or are the figures being manipulated?"
No, but Trump did win the election. What reason do you have to believe the numbers are being manipulated? Was it something you heard on Fox News?

Is the end near?

It very much depends on you concept of time

In geological terms, yes
In the lifetime of fruit flies, no

Just the fact that a tiny village outside NH can have about 50 cases where there had previously been one or two, mother in law gets transferred to Udon from NH Hosp (NH Hosp overworked??)
I'm pretty sure that was not the only place in Thailand to have "a spike",but according to figures being quoted it would appear to have been

Denmark has said it is suspending its widespread Covid-19 vaccination campaign.
All remaining Covid restrictions were lifted in the country in February.

What's their claimed fully vaccinated rate? Could be a yardstick for others instead of relentlessly chasing the impossible 100%?

......... the numbers have been on the downhill slide. Is the end near?

Only because the public are not reporting their condition now, I know quite a number of Thai's and one Farang who tested themselves (ATK) +ve and just dealt with it themselves, medication, isolation etc.

The end is not near just relegated to endemic. Flu - common cold category.

Just had call from Mrs Statts ..... now in Udon Gen with little nephew (3 1/2 y/o) suspected covid ....confirmation due at approx 16:00 .......... If this is Covids idea of ending parrot, I'm sure as hell glad we aren't gonna have a spike .....

Visionary? With the WHO already saying maybe three months ago that they expect to declare Covid as endemic sometime this summer, maybe he's just stating the obvious.

Or, as Fox & Friends would probably suggest, what do you expect from the man who helped China invent it?

...and the lame duck Biden admin needing a mid-term buck and boost.

[stattointhailand]

Not sure who invented it but I'm gerrin' pretty p*ssed orf with it ....

Little nephew AND Mrs Statts (again) have Covid ..... seven cases in her ward at Udon Gen at the moment

But ....... I'm assured the numbers are dwindling and the end is near !!

[stattointhailand]

Just had another call to suggest I get a covid test kit, as the guy who came to the house yesterday to do some work on the water tank and his wife have both tested +ve today

Mother in law now clear and home, but two cousins and an Uncle tested pos

Sure as hell glad there hasnt been a songkran spike

[stattointhailand]

And another one bites the dust ..... daughter just tested positive

[Earnest]

Ozzie Osbourne's got Covid.
