Popular Post darksidedog Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 Another day of good news, bringing the likelihood of a full on curfew even less likely. We all know that way more testing would be helpful, but I am yet to hear of a single report of masses of sick and dying crowding at the hospitals. It does seem that Thailand is being most fortunate and that the virus here is unlikely to go crazy like in Europe and the US. 70 1 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cornishcarlos Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 The 1% have seen their revenues being affected more than they imagined, so time to reverse the figures and get the money train rolling once more... If it was only the general population suffering financial hardships, there would be no need to relax the control but..... Maybe I'm just being cynical ?? 21 2 8 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pmh2009 Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 Look unless you have tested everyone or at least tried...like Germany - who tests 500K per week.. whatever data or numbers you have and say are irrelevant!!! Let say you only test 3 million out of a population of 69 million --- what is the percentage of that is correct???? Just because the infected cases go down does not mean that the VIRUS is dissipating or clearing up!!!!!! 35 3 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be that the lungs and immune systems here which have not been through months of extremely cold weather are in better position to start with, making it easier to brush off. Don't care right now TBH. Numbers are going down. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 14 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dogmatix Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 The lock downs must have helped hospital ICU units by reducing the numbers of critical patients being brought in from road accidents.

Popular Post SantiSuk Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 And the death rate is staggeringly low so far - particularly when you factor in the supposedly vast number of unrecorded infections so beloved by ThaiV members responding to these daily reports*. I have not yet seen any of the proseltisers of large numbers of unrecorded deaths give a logical explanation of how these death have been covered up. * I agree that there must have been some element of under-recording due to the testing policy and fees involved 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bangkokfrog Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 Good news (I hope). I have gone on record as questioning the death figures here a number of times, but the more time that goes by with no whistle-blower contradicting them, the more likely it is that there is some truth in the government stats. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dogmatix Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 Even if the warmer Southeast Asian climate inhibits the spread of the virus, which similarly low infection rates in Indonesia and the Philippines might support, it is odd that the mortality rate and absolute number of deaths is so much less than those two countries. Malaysia also has a significantly higher number of cases per capita which is probably explained by more widespread testing. The coming rainy season could be a risk factor, as that is traditionally the flu season in Thailand. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tropo Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) 46 minutes ago, JHolmesJr said: Yayyyyy! LOL LOL indeed. It's a huge mistake to make such assessments based on a day or two of lower numbers. In the US they are testing, at present, about 125,000 people per day or 1 million per 8 days. How many cases would Thailand discover if they became serious about testing and tested anyone who wanted a test... not just people with cold or flu like symptoms. I would not be shocked or surprised if the true number was in the 100's of thousands. Edited April 7, 2020 by tropo 6 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
