So that's another one, how many close contacts have had to quarantine ?

ASQ must be loving all these unplanned guests for the 15 day quarantine.

As is / was the case with the lack of regular updates in terms of numbers of people vaccinated (which was published and available daily in UK) I very much doubt that the numbers quarantined in Sandbox(es) will be published.  That might allow people to make their own informed decisions, and that can never be allowed to happen.

Because vaccinated people can’t catch or carry the virus according to some people.  ?‍♂️ Having the virus doesn’t mean anything. Being sick enough to be hospitalized is a much better indication of a potential problem.

I wonder what the CT number is on these PCR test. I heard in America that if you were vaccinated they would run it to 28 cycles and if you were unvaccinated would run it to 38 cycles. doing their best to create a situation to support their vaccines Bit of a bummer if all these people Turn out to be victims of a faulty test. If the Thai authorities are running 44CT cycles it is not worth the risk of going there. As far as I’m concerned, every country should advertise how stringent their testing regime is

What I find most concerning about this story, is that contrary to my previous assumption, these two S. Africans were not treated with Sinovax, but either J&J or Pfizer, as these were the only ones approved for use In SA to date.

So far, we have 7 foreign infections and these can be broken down as one Sinovax recipient, 2 for non-sinovax, three unvaxxed kids, and one unknown.

We should set up a subforum for them. We could double the size of ThaigerTalk.

If want to double the size just start a thread about thai bargirls or who has the best burger....seems to work

I wonder if the 7 had it on arrival or if some(most) actually caught it from locals that haven't been vaccinated.  I would imagine there are a lot of hands involved in the supply chains to the restaurants and hotels.
