This has got to be good news:
Australia's regulator says the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine can now be kept at normal freezer temperatures for up to two weeks during transport and at regular fridge temperatures for up to five days.

Previously, the vaccine needed to be kept at sub-zero temperatures of between -90C and -60C, making transportation logistically challenging.........

More great news!

Covid hotspot club managers in Bangkok jailed 2 months

"The managers of Krystal Club and Emerald Club in Bangkok's Thong Lor area, where a new wave of Covid-19 in the country allegedly began, have been each sentenced to two months in jail without suspension, Metropolitan Police Sub-division 5 commander Pol Maj Gen Sopon Sarapat revealed on Sunday."

Inoculation effort fails to impress

"As various countries start to see positive results from mass vaccination programmes, Thais are getting angry following a surge in infections last week, prompting concerns about the possibility of stringent government measures to control the latest outbreak.

Businesses believe several factors are to blame for the latest outbreak, but by far the greatest one is slow-moving inoculation efforts by the authorities."

Grim warning amid surge

"More than 28,000 people could be infected by Covid-19 per day over the next month if no disease control measures are put in place during the current spike, which is thought to be more severe than the previous two rounds, a senior public health official warned on Sunday."

Police commanders now handing out prison sentences or was there a trial? No need to answer. It's rhetorical.

Well maybe common sense did prevail. Sitting out the front, on my patio with refreshment, over the past 3 hrs and haven't seen a single person or car who dosen't belong here in the village.
Normally my Songkran view would be wall to wall vehicles with BKK number plates.

An example of how quickly this new strain of the virus can spread can be seen in Prachuap Kiri Khan where officials believe one infected individual led to 193 people being tested positive.
A young lady who worked in Customer Relations in the Krystal Club in Thonglor went to Hua Hin with her boyfriend at the end of March .
She showed no symptoms and on their first night there they went to the Maya Pub in Hua Hin.
The next day she developed a high fever and discovered several of her colleagues at the Krystal Club had tested positive for Covid.
She had her test on April 1 and it was confirmed on April 3 that she had Covid.
She was admitted to hospital on April 4 but by then the virus was rampant in the province.
The track and test system discovered 193 people related to the visit to Maya that night had the virus, including her boyfriend.....141 from Hua Hin and 52 from other areas in the province.
(Bangkok Post)

Just shows you... from just 1 night at 1 location.

"Customer relations"... LOL.

But the main point is well made. This super-infectious new variant is the LAST thing Thailand needs with its virtually non-existent vaccination plan that relies on the at-best 50% efficacy of Sinovac rubbish.

It has now exploded as i predicted . I knew when the figures where so falsely kept low that at some stage would get to explode rapidly .At one stage UK 50,000 deaths Thailand 34 with same population but uk better health care and more restrictions and sense .
This morning headman reported over the speaker another 4 cases in the village . That means in 3 days i know of 1 whole family of 5 in next village + , yesterday 2 in my village + one of them worked in the astipong skylab shop near home hub and now another 4 .
Thats 11 in known in 2 small villages, The guy from atipong shop, his nephew who lives with him has been playing with my boy in my house along with another friend home from chon buri all week so i am worried .I also find my covid insurance has expired , been a year already and if i do a new one will have 14 days waiting period.
On lock down again but i fear i may be to late

This young lady was actually a "Customer Relations Officer ".
Officer is not a term given easily in Thailand, as we know, :-" so she probably had to work hard for this title.
Vaccine... what vaccine??... hope it's not the Chinese one as it was only 50% effective in Brazil.
A Chinese official said as much yesterday but later said he was quoted out of context.
What odds he slips off the balcony on the 70th floor of his apartment block soon.
