The above will eventually be swept under the carpet, or declared as "fake news", in order to save face for the experts declaring Thailand is Covid free.

Also hoping expats will be wanting to buy the Elite visa to this magical wonderland of no Covid-19. Given that it's been around for 17 years and only has 2,000 takers, a real success story it's not.

A friend of mine who is looking at going the elite route just told me today that it looks like he won't be allowed in in 2020 even with going the elite visa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graemej100 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Of course this is great news but I am perplexed and I hope someone here will be able to answer these two simple questions. Does Thailand do random testing and are there testing stations for the public in Thailand. (I have not seen any.) I would imagine if the answer to these questions is 'no' then the data that is being published is not factual and is just the usual face saving. If the answers are 'yes' then......WELL DONE THAILAND! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai data comes from the Department for Disease Control. The UK data is from UK government Covid-19 site. The population difference of the 2 countries is approximately 5% and these are the 2 most relevant countries on this web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the basic question is answered. How do you detect Covid-19 within the population. Certainly not by reducing the number of tests and how many of the tests have been performed at Suvarnabhumi and of people in ASQs and SQs ? With the Thai level of testing are you surprised that no new positives are being found in the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlinclaifornia Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Contact tracing and mandatory quarantines contained the spread. If the virus is no longer present, why test? UK did not take action. Thailand did. No testing comparison makes sense. Virus doesn't live forever but can reappear of course. The new Japanese case is not determined to date.
