Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 For me, the most important statistic here is the 7 new deaths. R.I.P The sad reality of consistently finding more and more Covid infections every day. ???? 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marvin Hagler Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 I said from the very beginning of this outbreak that the daily case numbers would top out at 1,000 per day as that was their testing capacity limit...I may if got the number wrong by 50% but the theory was correct...the numbers will never go higher than this and will stay the same no matter how bad the outbreak really is in reality...no one will ever know the true extent simply because they do not have the resources or desire to test any more people. 32 6 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said yesterday there is a positive test (owner of mum and pop shop)a couple of minutes away from where I am (driving). No mass testing going on to look for spread. This is of course will be happening across Thailand. Edited April 22, 2021 by dinsdale 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 7 Deaths, RIP and my condolences to your families. Maybe the Government will send officials to represent them at the funeral pyre, and express their sympathies, by paying respects and then paying for the needs of the families that they allowed the loved one to be removed from by not listening to the doctors and allowing travel over Songkran. Malfeasance at its best. 12 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ourmanflint Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 This seems relevant today. The Indian system is collapsing because of covid, deaths are being hugely under reported, but India are mass testing. Thailands numbers do not add up, they cannot hide deaths as easily as case numbers If the variant going around Thailand is as bad as the Indian one, then Thailand must take action now. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it continues and starts to decline soon. Numbers alone are no indication. Are tests increasing? What is the positivity rate of tests carried out? What is the number of PUI. All this information is needed to get a true picture. If tests stay the same and numbers the same? Tests go up, numbers same show a decline? Tests go down numbers go up show increase? Transparency of information is the key, clear simple information should be published. I would also like to know if the daily briefing on covid is subject to questions from the press or just a statement type briefing? 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have admitted from the start that they don't know the exact numbers as they weren't doing massive testing. All in all, other than this recent wave, Thailand has done a pretty good job with regards to the virus. Not doing a very good job at getting jabs. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK 20 deaths today from a peak of 1600 at the end of January. New cases 2400 today from a peak of 68,000 at the beginning of January. More than 60% of adult population have received at least one dose of vaccine. 1 in 5 have had 2 doses.

Popular Post Rhacsyn Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 27 minutes ago, dinsdale said: Ask yourself why we are getting virtually identical numbers everyday. The good news is that the number of positive cases has declined considerably in the Hua Hin area (37 today) and Phuket (9 today) for example. There are no queues at the test centres in Phuket. In fact, the province has been actively pleading for people who may have been exposed to the virus to please come forward for testing, especially foreigners. Admittedly, the situation may be quite different in other provinces. I have no real data on that other than the original shortage of suplies reported in the Bangkok area over a week ago. Let's hope the numbers follow suit in other provinces soon..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dinsdale Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) New South Wales has a few positives in quarantine. Heard it said today that daily testing of the populice is quite low at the moment. 6000 a day but they want it back up to >13,000. Population of New South Wales just over 8 million. Relate tests per population and even at the low standard of 6000 tests per day equates at a guess to around 42,000 tests a day in Thailand. Around 1.2-1.3 million a month. So far just over 8,000,000 since the beginning. Australia 16,000,000, UK 146,000,000 and USA 433,000,000. To see one must first look.

Well, they are in good shape in terms of the vaccine roll out, but look the amount of covid deaths in the UK and USA UK 127,000 deaths ( similar population to the Thailand ) USA 596,000 deaths Compare those figures to Thailand = 110 deaths So, yeah those countries needed to be prioritized given the sheer number of cases and deaths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
