Tonight TOTO tio jiahk only

actually buying toto is like going for test
no buy won't lose and cannot be bothered
just like jiuhu and sianglo,.lesser covid testing means case numbers fall
since 98% not actually sick, it's all under the radar and no need to even horsepeterised the mildly sick and stress the health system
tioboh?
sinkypura doing a lot of unnecessary testing to kill it's own health system

sinkypura doing a lot of unnecessary testing to save it's own health system

Sinkie sheep kiasee mah- little bit only, sakit nak mati, tio boh?

With 1 oxymeter and 3 ART kits per household distributed, sudah lah. Once eQO/QO issued, just ensure that the individual and folks living in the same household has additional ART kits for that week, do one round PCR sweep for whole family, HWR issued to household members, ok liao lah. Just ask CERTIS don’t screw up can already, tio boh?

If whole family tio COVID, convert all HRW to QO and everyone follow the last end date of QO in that household. Any serious cases in the household just surface to telemedicine group or call for peeporpeepor send to loh kun choo. Seems like it’s a question of when, not if. tio boh?

Covid has wiped out years of progress on life expectancy, finds study | Life expectancy

www.theguardian.com

The Covid pandemic has caused the biggest decrease in life expectancy in western Europe since the second world war, according to a study.

Data from most of the 29 countries – spanning most of Europe, the US and Chile – that were analysed by scientists recorded reductions in life expectancy last year and at a scale that wiped out years of progress.

The biggest declines in life expectancy were among males in the US, with a decline of 2.2 years relative to 2019 levels, followed by Lithuanian males (1.7 years).

Life expectancy losses exceeded those recorded around the time of the dissolution of the eastern bloc in central and eastern Europe, according to the research, led by scientists at Oxford’s Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science.

Dr José Manuel Aburto, a co-lead author of the study, said: “For western European countries such as Spain, England and Wales, Italy, Belgium, among others, the last time such large magnitudes of declines in life expectancy at birth were observed in a single year was during the second world war.”

The findings are contained in a paper published in the International Journal of Epidemiology after the analysis of the 29 countries for which official death registrations for last year had been published. A total of 27 experienced reductions in life expectancy.

Last week, the Office for National Statistics estimated that life expectancy for men in the UK had fallen for the first time in 40 years because of the impact of Covid-19. A boy born between 2018 and 2020 is expected to live until he is 79, down from 79.2 for the period of 2015-17, according to the ONS.

Aburto said the scale of the life expectancy losses was stark across most of those countries studied, with 22 of them experiencing larger losses than half a year in 2020.

“Females in eight countries and males in 11 countries experienced losses larger than a year. To contextualise, it took on average 5.6 years for these countries to achieve a one-year increase in life expectancy recently: progress wiped out over the course of 2020 by Covid-19.”

Males experienced larger life expectancy declines than females across most of the 29 countries. Most life expectancy reductions across different countries were attributable to official Covid deaths, according to the paper.

Dr Ridhi Kashyap, another co-lead author, said researchers were aware of several issues linked to the counting of Covid deaths, such as inadequate testing or misclassification. However, she added that “the fact that our results highlight such a large impact that is directly attributable to Covid-19 shows how devastating a shock it has been for many countries”.

“We urgently call for the publication and availability of more disaggregated data from a wider range of countries, including low- and middle-income countries, to better understand the impacts of the pandemic globally.”

The ONS estimates from earlier this month showed variations between the different parts of the UK in terms of life expectancy, which refers to the average age to which a newborn would live if current death rates continued for their whole life.

Life expectancy for males has fallen in England, from 79.5 years in 2015-17 to 79.3 years in 2018-2, and Scotland from 77 to 76.8. But it has risen slightly in Northern Ireland from 78.4 to 78.7, while staying broadly unchanged in Wales at 78.3.

Thailand to reduce COVID-19 quarantine period, reopen to international visitors in 4 phases​

People enjoy at a beach as Phuket opens for foreigners, who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), to visit the resort island without quarantine, in Phuket, Thailand, September 19, 2021


27 Sep 2021 06:16PM (Updated: 27 Sep 2021 09:13PM)

BANGKOK: Thailand is preparing to downscale its COVID-19 quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated international tourists and reopen the country in four phases, starting from October, according to the COVID-19 Situation Administration Centre (CCSA).

Starting from Oct 1, international travellers who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus for at least 14 days and can prove it with a vaccination certificate will only be required to undergo seven days of quarantine upon their arrival.

However, there will be no quarantine requirement in certain provinces that will have reopened to international travellers.

“They’ll be swabbed twice. The first time is between Day 0 and Day 1, which is the first day they arrive. The second time is between Day 6 and Day 7,” said CCSA spokesperson Taweesin Visanuyothin during a press conference on Monday (Sep 27).

International travellers who are not fully vaccinated will have to be quarantined for 10 days if they enter Thailand by sea or air. If they enter by land, the quarantine period will be 14 days.

According to CCSA, they will also be required to take PCR tests twice after their arrival.

Currently, all international visitors are subject to a 14-day quarantine period unless they participate in Thailand's quarantine-free tourism scheme.

Besides adjusting the quarantine requirements, Thailand has also laid out a plan to reopen to international tourism in four phases.

In each stage, different provinces will be added to the so-called Blue Zone, where travel is not restricted and various social activities as well as gatherings of no more than 500 people are allowed.

The initial pilot phase is from Oct 1 to Oct 31. It covers Phuket and parts of Krabi, Phang Nga and Surat Thani such as the popular islands of Phi Phi, Samui and Pha-ngan.

While parts of these provinces have reopened to international travellers since July, others still need to speed up their vaccination programmes and ensure the COVID-19 situation remains under control for the full reopening next month.

The second phase is from Nov 1 to Nov 30. It covers ten provinces where income from international visitors usually makes up at least 15 per cent of their tourism revenue. They include Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chonburi, among others.

CCSA's announcement confirmed a change of plan for the Thai capital, where reopening to international tourism was initially scheduled for mid-October.

“We are confident that on Oct 15, Bangkok will be able to reopen to international tourists,” said Tourism and Sports Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakan on Sep 15 after a discussion with Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang.

At least 70 per cent of Bangkok residents were expected to have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by that time. However, based on CCSA’s Monday announcement, its reopening has been postponed to November.
The third phase is from Dec 1 to Dec 31 and the last phase takes effect from January 2022 onwards.

On Monday, Thailand reported 10,288 new COVID-19 infections and 101 deaths. The country has been battling a deadly wave of outbreaks for several months. Since April, it has reported 1,543,063 cases of the coronavirus and 16,275 casualties.

Various measures have been imposed by the government to control the spread of the virus, including restrictions on social activities and curfew. However, as the situation has begun to improve, CCSA announced on Monday that the curfew will be shortened by an hour come Oct 1.

Currently, Bangkok and 28 other provinces with high rates of COVID-19 transmission are required to observe the nightly curfew between 9 pm and 4 am.
“It will be adjusted to 10 pm-4 am. This will be used for at least 15 days before the reassessment,” Mr Taweesin said.

He added that department stores in such provinces will also be allowed to extend their operations until 9 pm from next month. However, alcohol consumption at eateries will still be prohibited.

1647 isn't so bad right? Another week in the 1500 - 1600 range and that will indicate a plateau which probably means we are turning the corner.

 

[nayr69sg]

5000 cases a day?

What's the positivity rate of the tests for that to happen?

Either they ramp up testing or the positivity rate must be 4 times what it is now? I doubt it will hit that high.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

This fucker talk like he is predicting the Arsenal scoreline

 

[Confuseous]

This fucker talk like he is predicting the Arsenal scoreline

This reminds me of KM's comment that he did not know the number of medical staff
who were affected. He was replying to either the Reuters or Bloomberg reporter.
Can you imagine that any of the English football clubs managers saying they don't
know many of their players were injured?

Kenneth Mak is more like maybe CEO of the Premier League. Like Richard Masters.

Then OYK is like the Executive Officer of English FA , Mark Bullingham

The equivalent of football club managers might be the various hospital chairmen of medical board or CEOs.

So KM dunno lah. DMS is actually not so close to ground one.

 

[zhihau]

so 79th & 80th deaths registered

 

[kaninabuchaojibye]

so 79th & 80th deaths registered

more expected until a point where people gets numb unless it's like a double digit daily figure. the chenghu could have conveniently spread out the deaths over a few days to decrease the alarm so u get daily small number deaths instead of one lump sum.

 

[kaninabuchaojibye]

so 79th & 80th deaths registered

they don't even want to say what are the underlying comorbidities in yesterday's report on the two vax deaths.

 

[millim6868]

Might as well say 100k per day ,knn, get paid so much n create all this mess,then tell u other countries also like this,knn

Laulan also got prepare to make hospital mortuary biggerer ?
