Top virologist Dr Yong Poovorawan of Chulalongkorn University went on his personal Facebook page to expound his views on the pandemic in Thailand. 

 

He said that the first wave was the Chinese version of the virus. Testing revealed not much quantity of virus. 

 

Consequently it was relatively easily contained in Thailand. 

 

In December came what he called the "G" strain that came from migrants from neighboring countries. 

 

There was more quantity but it could still be contained. 

 

Now since the end of march Thailand was dealing with the UK variant and that was an entirely different kettle of fish.

 

Huge numbers of the virus were present in throat swabs and it was spreading fast and easily in places like families.

 

This was not under control in Thailand.

 

He stressed that the virus could not be eradicated, reported Daily News.

 

The best that could be achieved was herd immunity through vaccination.
