Already have had the Sinovac(first dose), next Wednesday second dose AZ. Any protection is better than nothing, and the Delta variant is running rampant

It's people's choice to wait for a more effective vaccine, of course, but by then it may be too late.

Anyone with comorbidities is taking a huge risk.

BANGKOK, July 31 (Reuters) - Thailand reported on Saturday a daily record of 18,912 new coronavirus infections, bringing the country’s total accumulated cases to 597,287. The country also reported 178 new deaths, also a daily record, taking total fatalities to 4,857

and...

CDC warns the delta variant sweeping across the country is as contagious as chickenpox, has a longer transmission window than the original Covid-19 strain and may make older people sicker. The confidential document said delta is more transmissible than the common cold, the 1918 Spanish flu, smallpox, Ebola, MERS and SARS.

It's coming for everyone

I was reading some of the posts in this stream and others. It just hit me how being pretty isolated during this outbreak has benefits I never imagined. Things like not being exposed to the pessimistic idiots I see on this site. You can decide who are the pessimists and who are the idiots.

Some are happy to be in their self-styled 'bubble' of waiting in Udon to see how your future plays out while your right to life is literally in the hands of these un-elected and otherwise un-electable sociopaths. Some aren't.

Yes. The big question is how long the wait might be. It might be a year? If I was in Thailand, I'd accept Sinovac. Being outside Thailand in a much safer country and thinking I can get Pfizer within the next two months, I'd wait.

"Your mission Jim, if you chose to accept it, is to get registered before all the available slots fill up and the website door slams on your fingers. If it is anything like previous online vaccine registration websites, and there's absolutely no reason to think it will be otherwise, you better banish everyone within earshot, remove any and all distractions, have all the required information ready to copy/paste into the boxes or be able to type at around 100 wpm.

Good luck Jim"

PS: Either that or it will crash.

Yesterday my son went to the UK.
He hired a car in Udon and dropped it off in Swampy airport.
He got the paperwork for permission to travel and his Covid check done.

He drove all the way to Swampy leaving at 9am and was not stopped once and asked to show any paperwork for inter provincial travel.

No wonder there are so many covid cases in the North East as it appears there are no checks being carried out on the highways.

Vaccine registration site is just soooooooooooooooooooooooo typical of this government - Email address " has already been taken. That's as far as I can get.

[the-monk]

same same

[Niggly]

My three, current active email addresses are apparently not valid.
I guess successfully using them to send & receive emails not 15mins ago doesn’t count

[fdimike]

pal: lots of talk but little action

[the-monk]

Niggly it does not say email address NOT VALID, it says email address already taken ( Email address "@gmail.com" has already been taken. ) of course you just did register them, software design problem.
Let s wait and wait....
Stay safe.
