@RichardBarrow My son went back for one day. Now someone in the class tested positive, so the whole class have to quarantine at their homes for the next 14 days. They told him to wear a mask all the time at home and stay away from us, even though the ATK test was negative.

@RapatiAyuKemayu @Mac_Asean @RichardBarrow I didn't get paper certificate this time either...and I noticed on the app later that they got my birthday wrong. I doubt it makes any difference.

@TheDude92114222 @ThaiSchoolLife And some of these are the ones that have been touting how effective their covid measures are. I don't think a weekly home ATK test, a temperature check and half-hearted social distancing are going to do it.

@LitCritVidz @ThaiNewsReports Most countries with the big numbers have free testing and without the threat of enforced hospitalization/field hospitels/hospitelization for all. Thailand doesn't have free testing and many are scared to report because of the consequences.

@TeeSz5 @ThaiNewsReports Someone I know tried to go to 4 hospitals on Sunday to get a pcr test for her kid and all of them said no.
A bit like that fanfare announcement yesterday saying how they'd have a mighty 1000 extra tests a day at Chang Wattana, but closed at the weekends.

@LeashSubtle @ThaiNewsReports This also from SkyNews showing how far covid is from being endemic. Maybe Thailand is in a race with the UK to be the first to say it's endemic.

@ThaiNewsReports Sounds like Top of the Pops

@WhosCeejayReyes @RichardBarrow yes

@NeilMann16 @RichardBarrow I had zero side effects from the Pfizer booster. It doesn't make you sick.

[grnj @grnj20]

@RichardBarrow_ @RevengeZac @RichardBarrow I guess my kid can't go are she uses public transport to get there

[grnj @grnj20]

@LitCritVidz @RichardBarrow There's an interesting article on 'learning to live' with covid (and climate change) by three of Sweden's leading scientists

@jpb_foto @RichardBarrow Jan 5 332,252 new cases in France.
And Thai experts are still saying the worst case scenario here is 30,000 cases a day. Maybe it will be if they test nobody and few people test by themselves bc of the costs of hospitalization or hospitelization.

[grnj @grnj20]

@parkeg1 @RichardBarrow In the US record numbers of children are being hospitalized - and also record numbers of adults.

@gregdulieu @RichardBarrow @ThaiNewsReports Depends. Hospital admissions in UK are down from Jan last year, but up 'dramatically' from 2 weeks ago.

@MillsSpartacus @Opdiner @pdt2211 @ThaiNewsReports Wonder if this affects those of us living here who don't have covid insurance. 100,000 baht for staying in a hospital or hospitel for 10 days with no symptoms seems excessive

[grnj @grnj20]

@Opdiner @pdt2211 @ThaiNewsReports I wonder how that will work if like in the UK with 200,000+ cases a day. It would be chaos

[grnj @grnj20]

@Opdiner @pdt2211 @ThaiNewsReports With the large numbers expected, is it still government policy for all who test positive to have to go to hospitals/field hospitals/hospitels? If not, why are they setting up more field hospitals again?

[grnj @grnj20]

@ThaiNewsReports That's a large jump in ATK positive cases from 771 yesterday - and that's just from those reporting it.
