Tone-deaf schools

» How are all industries being affected by this Covid crisis and yet international schools remain untouched (save a few) by pricing? In fact, the top-tier schools have increased their fees, a tone-deaf move in this pandemic for potentially cash-strapped parents to both pay and teach their children while paying full prices for a so-called education.
Mass testing best

» The most effective and cheapest way of controlling the Covid-19 pandemic will be to conduct mass testing of the population, as urged by eminent French infectious diseases expert Dr Didier Raoult. He has pointed out that cheaply mass produced testing equipment is already available and is being used effectively in South Korea. Countries, including Thailand, should build up this mass testing capability as fast as it can and test as many people as possible. That way it will be possible to isolate only those who test positive and it also makes it possible to treat those who start showing symptoms early which boosts the chance of a favourable outcome for them. This will be far more effective than locking down entire populations of people who are not infected and causing a massive economic dislocation in the process. In Thailand's case, it may cost US$325 million (10.5 billion baht) to test the entire population, but that would be a drop in the bucket compared to the $8 billion cost of a 5% decline in GDP.

» On Aug 29, the Bangkok Post ran a story that a dengue vaccine has now been approved for use in Thailand and is generally available. If I remember correctly, you quoted a cost of 2,000 baht for the three injections required over an 18-month period.
