So whats happened to the other 3 ?

658 ÷ 414 = 1072

Numbers dont add up, seems to be a common trait.

Maybe they died?

 Some Covid info' from the Mayo Clinic:

"Treating COVID-19 at home: Care tips for you and others"

"Most people who become sick with COVID-19 will only experience mild illness and can recover at home. Symptoms might last a few days, and people who have the virus might feel better in about a week. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and includes rest, fluid intake and pain relievers.

 

However, older adults and people of any age with existing medical conditions should call their doctor as soon as symptoms start. These factors put people at greater risk of becoming seriously ill with COVID-19."

Members of the man’s family had recently travelled from high risk areas, Dr. Suriya said


I hope they enjoyed their vacation in Thailand.

Plus let us not forget all the lasting damage to lungs and so on. Quite a lot of people who recover have months and months of revalidation some never get back to normal. So please stop acting like its nothing. Yes MOST have no problem. But a lot do. Those people are never put in the stats just the dying so the deniers feel safer.

 

Early in 2021, researchers in Wuhan, China, reported that 76% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients had at least one symptom that persisted 6 months after acute infection, mostly fatigue or muscle weakness. "Studies of non-hospitalized patients have shown that anywhere from 35% to 50% of non-hospitalized patients had symptoms 2 to 4 months later," Navis noted.

Even without covid19: old age is a risk factor for dying.....

Yes, obviously, particularly if you make it over 80. But in reality it's probably rare to literally die of old age. Old age makes a person more vulnerable but usually it's something like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimers, stroke, or in this case Covid-19.

How about lets not forget all the people who have caught the virus but have no symptoms...and also those that have it and have not been tested so also not in the figures.

Died of Covid-19, or with Covid-19?

There are many variables, made more confusing and misleading by the media and government. Pnuemonia, a major cause of death in the elderly, gets little notice, even when acquired in hospital after admission for an unrelated reason. Who knows the truth behind any of this? Death comes to us all... that is for certain.

Probably other areas of Thailand - Thai family members. This is very common - younger relatives bring home  covid to their elderly relatives, and having them die.

Of course death comes to us all sooner or later, but would his death have been later had his relatives possibly no transmitted Covid to him from their travels.  The world will never know.

I knew the guy who passed away, and got covid from him as well, but the worst is that his son knew he was not well for a few days, but refused to bring him to hospital!

Maybe he was frightened of the expence. At 92 he certainly would not have health insurance.
