Yes, they complain and moan. Should be happy thailand help them not die. 2400 “excess” deaths. 3 months. = 800 per 1 month = 26 per 1 day = 1 “excess” death per province per 3 days. = false narrative 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojothai Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Dumbastheycome said: Without bothering to look further than the charts supplied above it is notable that the graph line of "expected deaths " indicates a rapid descent and then a spike slightly higher and slightly earlier than expectations presumably based on averages of historical data. There is the spike of expected deaths that must be songkran. As we all know there would be a jump during the deadly days. Because songkran was cancelled the number of deaths would be expected to be lower in april than normal by a large number. Perhaps taking that into account may make the difference look larger? It was about 390 deaths at songkran last year. Thats not really so significant. Edited August 3, 2020 by jojothai Add detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabas Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 2% is a small number, may be many people were deterred from visiting hospitals. My wife and I were when our hospital announced 7 doctors and staff diagnosed positive 5 days after our last visit. That's when you start wearing a mask.

The data indicates that there are a number of increased deaths over time. Considering the fact that Songkran was cancelled, infectious foreigners were banned, there was slowdown in construction and a lockdown and some very effective social distancing measures taken, there should have been a decrease in the number of deaths over the previous year. Instead we have an excess of deaths. Thailand doesn't do full autopsies so it is easy to say a patient died from a cause other than Covid19.
