More details of the 7-day Sandbox "requirements" are available. Those hoping to meet the boy of their dreams during those seven days will not be happy. Oh, and there's a mandatory PCR test on Day Five

Remember this post of Dodgems about the failure of Sinovac in the Maldives and how foolish the Thai officialdom was?

Yeah, we're talking 6 people who didn't get a lung infection. Works perfectly, what more proof do you need?
Still waiting for your response from yesterday about the risk assessment to Thailand of opening up to fully-vaccinated tourists who have one PCR test before departure and another 5 days after arrival.
I did.
You remind me strongly of Private Pike in Dad’s Army, and we all know what Captain Mainwaring thought of him
Maybe if I was born 30 years earlier I would know what the fuck you're on about, but I have no idea.

Thai Airways has just announced the resumption of some direct flights between Europe and Phuket - https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tour...ope-and-phuket
The Bangkok Post reports that Phuket has achieved 50% of the (I assume) adult population vaccinated and claim to be on track for their 70% target
https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...-on-jab-target
They’re also reporting fewer than 10 new cases per day (with a high preponderance being local farang who’ve been partying in defiance of the rules) which meets their second criteria.
There’s a vaccination timeline infographic as well:

Phuket Sandbox details provided in news releases continue to stress Phuket's headstrong determination to re-open to tourists "quarantine-free" on July 1st, although, to date, only 50% of the population has received vaccinations (we think), and the percentage of those who still need a second dose is not clearly shown in Phuket data. Lots of gaps in the reporting and the data as we've come to expect.
In any event, and I know others may disagree, I see July 1st as being a real long shot just based on the arithmetic. Evan if they extend the opening until September (which they'll probably end up doing), it will all hinge on the status of the covid surge Kingdom-wide, and the availability of an effective vaccine(s).
