TLDR : Answer Summary
The Department of Medical Sciences in Thailand reported an increase in the Omicron XEC variant during early 2025, urging the public to remain cautious. The community's reaction is mixed, with skepticism about the severity of COVID-19 and criticism of government health measures. Many commenters express frustration and distrust towards the media and vaccines, suggesting that the pandemic's portrayal is exaggerated. Questions arise about the actual impact of COVID-19 in Thailand, while some commentators label the ongoing concerns as fear-mongering.

It is the same advice given for a bad flu season for decades in the past. Stopped being triggered by the term “Covid”. It is 2025 . . . not 2020.

Desperate to sell vaccines. I wonder how much Pharma paid to the government.

@Sel ****
or how much the fund the media's "journalism" would be a better question. It's no accident the same people on the boards of the media companies spreading fear are also on the boards of the pharmaceutical companies providing the "treatment".Sel *****
@อ้วน ********
True words. Even though media is run by the governments. World wide it is. There is no more media that does journalism and criticize their globalist governments. Unless someone like Trump makes it into the office and is not part of the globalist elite cabals club. I’m from Europe. But anyone who can’t see this needs a mental check up. You can hate Trump as much as you want. But you can’t ignore the facts.
And the media does it to anyone who is a danger to the globalist agenda. In Romania. In Germany. In France. Whenever there is a political candidate that’s not in the club it gets smashed by the media.

Not to start crap but seriously interested about the comments on the post. Are the comments because you don't believe in Covid, you don't think it's bad and in Thailand or what exactly?
Tonua **********
Thanks everyone, as mentioned I wasn't trying to stir up crap but I see emotions are high and with great reason. I'm arriving in Jan and trying to gage the real situation. I guess we can all blame our govts for the issues caused, the fake news mixed with real news, the jab along with the fact that apparently we think the Chinese are friends enough that we do research with them. We all suffered and they all lied through their teeth. Many died and many injured, and thanks to the bs we are all inflamed as hell. Any way still arriving in Jan and see yall then!

@Tonua *********
, Millions have died from the JABS.NOT: "CON-VID"
The deaths from the jabs WERE blamed on "COVID" manipulation 🤦🤦.
I lost my Sister, Stepfather, Mother & Father AFTER they were "Jabbed", all within 14 months!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤷🤦😢😢
Whilst everyone from Pharma, Doctors, Politicians & PLAN-DEMIC "pushers" became SUPER RICH $$$$$$.
"ALL-IN" on the 'Game'.

Thailand has covid, but they a very quick to mask up, so it never seems to spread much.Tonua **********
People I am asking this, do you think Thailand doesn't have covid or do you think Thailand is overreacting or what. Damn simmer the fuck down!
SJ ****
@Tonua *********
never been isolated! What happened to the flu and pneumonia while this fake bug was on the rampage! All a load of baloney you keep wearing the mask breathing back the dead air your body is trying to get rid and let the bacteria build up in your lungs the mask stops crap leaving not coming in and u worked in what? Laughable!Steven *********
@Tonua *********
everywhere in every country there are viruses, the cold and influenza has been around for how long , is there cases in Thailand, absolutely as they are everywhere...But what happened to the days of Man flu 🤧🤢 now if you have more than a runny nose it's covid..
If there is enough media spread and panic then I wonder what would be the next step? Ask yourself that and then ask why some people are so pissed to see this nonsense spread across the groups ... Push it hard enough and it becomes an issue. Anyway ...have a good day 🙌🏻😂

what would you like to do? Close all the businesses? Lock people in their homes again , stop all the Dr appointments ..? And a serious question do you think COVID was as bad as they first said? Was it the next pandemic since the Spanish flu?
I think people realise they were lied to by the media and most governments, they admitted the Vax never stopped you from catching it or spending it .. but still here we are and people ready to 💩 the bed and let's be honest some people just live a bit of drama in their lifes.
Christopher ******
@Steven ********
the Vax reduced the death rate. As all vaxes tend to do. So now clowns think Covid was nothing.Steven *********
@Christopher *****
FFS not you again 😂.. listen I have a friend like you she is on booster 5 seriously...5 boosters and guess what , yes she still gets it ..As for the rate dropping, do you remember in school when one kid got the flu and then the whole class got it ...what happened after a week or two ...yes by magic the rates dropped.. I think you really need to take the blinkers off and go do some proper research, I could show you numerous items but you are so deep you'll never believe anything else. . if you are happy then you crack on and jab away 👍🏻

i don't need boosters. People have too many.Reply to

@Christopher *****
and don't even tell me about "science" because mainstream science is just leveraged marketing now.Jules *****
@Christopher *****
yeah we didn't shut down the world when big flu outbreaks with even worse numbers happened. There is so much evidence that most of the deaths were also comorbidities, thus proving it was all overhyped. It's total bullshit. Where are all the flu cases in the past years? Do your own research and stop being fucking spoonfed information. It's unbelievable how stupid people still can be in the age of information where you can verify things for yourself and cross reference the entire internet of things.Christopher ******
@Jules ****
oh so it's cool for people who are already crook with some other illnesses to just be left to die, is that it?What a lovely society that doesn't protect its most vulnerable. Do you reckon that Covid wasn't as bad as other infectious outbreaks because pretty well everyone got vaccinated?
Gerhard **********
@Christopher *****
Sure,that must be the reason why the number of deaths skyrocket after the rollout of the vaccination, because it solved the problem 🤡.One look on Our World in Data from the John Hopkins university would help,to see this.Jules *****
@Christopher *****
no actually there are an unbelievable amount of vaccine injuries. Why is it also that the people who have "long covid" always have had a vaccine? No non vaxxed people get this bullshit.Melissa ***********

Is the Omicron variant less severe than Delta, and how is it affecting Thailand's entry regulations?
