If you was outside of Thailand now looking in with thoughts of a holiday, would you jump through all the hoops, follow all the rules to come here.

That’s a 1.5% jump to almost 85% hospital bed occupancy, a figure authorities had been feverishly adding hundreds of beds per week to keep under 80%. …..

The Phuket Sandbox maybe puckering now …. 90% by Friday?
It now matches 80 % to shutdown sandbox, that would match the 90 cases in one week shutdown, which they turned a blind eye to.

I didn’t think blind eye was a Covid symptom?

No, but they suffered from their "condition" well before Covid started.

And don't be surprised if "blind eye" will be added to the Sinovac adverse reactions

No, I have been waiting for nearly three months now to go to my house in Phuket but I am not going as I can see things will get worse and everything will have to be closed, we are free and open here in the UK, the weather is warm so why fly all that way to go to jail?

I know a few others too who are waiting to go too.

Thats a good idea :)

I was sent pictures showing plants growing all over my car and creeping up the wall of the house from the garden so a neighbour went around and cut it all down, it looked like it was in a jungle :)

85% of beds full seems a lot more than half full or half empty to me LOL, would you rather they lied about how full the hospitals are?

In order for it to remain at 85% they had to add more beds, they can not keep on doing that forever.
