Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

OK so any thoughts of judging the number of cases in Cambodia by following the death numbers is - like the official case numbers - a dead end.

Corpses No Longer Tested for Covid-19 in Provinces

Mech Dara | Thu Oct 21, 2021 4:16 pm

Provincial authorities say they are no longer testing dead bodies for Covid-19 as part of a change in policy as the country pursues a gradual reopening of businesses and tourism, though Phnom Penh said it had yet to make the change.

Covid-19 infection numbers plunged to around a quarter of the previous trend on October 1 after Prime Minister HE ordered a reduction in testing as part of “learning to live with Covid-19,” and this week deaths also roughly halved starting Monday.

Kampong Speu governor Vei Samnang said he had received HE’s instructions to stop rapid testing on corpses.

“It was only us that was doing it, so we are implementing it like other [countries], and our goal is that we will no longer poke into all corpses,” Samnang said.

Dr Gotleib, former FDA commissioner, predicts Covid will be history in the New Year in USA due to latest anti-viral developed by Pfizer. The vaccines will go a long way to preventing people from getting sick. The anti-virals by Pfizer and Merck are up to 90 per cent effective in keeping people out of hospitals or dying if they do get sick. This is clearly a sign of hope:

I'm normally a firm believer in protecting intellectual property rights, but if these pills really do keep 90%+ of unvaccinated people out of hospital and 100% from dying, let's hope the world just copies the drug en masse and use it prevent healthcare systems from being crippled, save millions of lives and tell the shareholders of Pfizer to go f**k themselves on this occasion.

Ummm.. before going on a rant.

Competition is the best form of equality there is.

Pfizer’s success has already bred competition from Merck and others.

Or would it better the government chooses who are the haves or the have nots, depending on political patronage and votes?

Sorry, I don’t trust the government to do the right thing.

Plus the shareholders are the retirement funds of millions of people. Me being one of them.

So you want your pension to be improved by a fraction of a % instead of making the treatment globally available to all at prices that can be afforded? An extra Red Lobster dinner every 6 months, because that's the type of difference it would make. (By the way, Pfizer went up by 9% yesterday, but that still below it's August high, so I wouldn't get to excited if I were you. Also, this is not a new drug, it's a rehash of an old one).

Oxford Astra Zeneca developed their vaccine, with British taxpayers funding, and sells it at cost. All the rest are having a party with this pandemic and it's time to pull the plug on this racket. These vaccines and treatment drugs have not taken 10-15 years of high cost and high risk development and testing, which is the sole reason that drug companies are allowed to charge what they like during their 20 year patent protection period. They have knocked this lot out in less than a year, so what's the justification for gross profiteering?

Of course, it won't happen, politicians are too easy to bribe with campaign contributions, promises of seats on the board when they get booted out by the electorate and, of course, the supremacy of the stock market. But at least there is still some decency in the world.
