A very tenous issue Covid has become.  Life without knowing, because of no mass testing, yet the numbers hover in the 2k area and continue in line with double digit deaths.  

Seems things continue to get worse and we continue to see record numbers of deaths.

If I was a betting man I would say this is purely down to the limited numbers of tests being conducted. 

 

Without those numbers we will not know just how prevalent the virus is in Thailand. 

Excess deaths are the key metric.

Hmmm.. whatever happened to.... the major vaccine manufacturers are only willing to sell to governments/government agencies (so says the Thai government).  Last time I checked, the IOC was a private organization, just like the Thai Private Hospitals Assn.... What gives?

"Anutin said on Friday that Pfizer will begin delivery of their 20 million doses to Thailand starting in July."

"The Pfizer vaccine is expected to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of this year, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced on Facebook on Friday.

 

According to the post, Pfizer is scheduled to deliver between 10 million and 20 million doses by the end of the year. The minister added that negotiations with the vaccine manufacturer had gone smoothly.

 

Anutin also added that the process of registering the Pfizer vaccine with the Thai Food and Drug Administration will be completed quickly."

From past public comments, the government has indicated it intends to mainly use the Pfizer vaccines for the teenage/younger population....

However we already know that natural heard immunity in small propotions of the population  did nothing for the likes of the UK, Europe and US. It had minimal impact, the only successful strategy with the UK variant in the UK was mass testing, lockdowns and vaccinations, they are doing neither here.

Yeah Sweden has shown that really nicely! There have already over 1 million infected whit population little over 10 million! And they have still huge problem in head of them even vaccination going forward!

In stinging bad news delivered Friday, Thailand reported another rise in COVID patients hospitalized in critical condition, reaching a pandemic record 1,170 cases. At the same time, the share of those patients requiring respirators to breathe also rose to set a pandemic record for Thailand at 367 patients. Both figures have been rising almost daily for the past month, even as daily new COVID case numbers have fluctuated below prior peaks.

From Friday's televised English language COVID news briefing by the government. Numbers below are the new cases for the most recent day. The provinces chart also includes a recap of total cases by province since the start of April.

so...you can't be vaccinated if you have covid, but Thailand has limited testing so they are painting themselves into a corner which will result in major problems to their vaccine roll-out. It doesn't look like things will improve any time soon.

Worrying no let up with this wave spreading fast in Bangkok.

 

New cluster 160 cases found in Bang Kae after Covid-19 tests at a department store in Bang Kae. from B.P.

This " new Cluster " in Bang Kae, is not a new cluster, its the same one that was there about 3 weeks ago, and is still rampant.

Because of the policy not to test, these kind of " spurious "outbreaks will continue in Communities that has been given the all clear.

Charting of Thailand rolling seven-day average of new COVID cases -- a key indicator used by health authorities to track COVID case trends -- shows the new daily case numbers continuing to moderate and remain below prior highs at almost 1,886.

 

The data by the same website, Our World in Data, updated through May 5, also shows the seven-day trend of COVID deaths in Thailand having made a steep rise since the middle of April, but just lately beginning to level off at 20.

Can you add also the number of tests and number of vaccinations graph?

During Friday's English language COVID news briefing, a government spokesman provided additional details on how Thailand will offer COVID vaccinations to foreign nationals during the second half this year... Among those specifics reported:

True, but cost was never mentioned.  There is no guarantee it will be free.

Under the pretext that English speaking staff are required for the foreigners at separate vaccination sites, we might also see a payment system at the entry. Let's see.

Daily recap from the Thai Ministry of Public Health on how Thailand is faring versus other world countries and its regional peer countries in terms of total COVID cases since the start of the pandemic. Thailand has moved up one notch to now rank 98th among world countries in total numbers of COVID cases:

Sadly no data for Thailand nor India.

Of course it's there, why would I have provided a link? This is the weekly number, 1037 for March

Testing 20,000 , finding 2,000 = 10%. That rolled out in BKK alone would be over a million positive tests.

 

Thailand is now proving to the world just how fake its figures truly are with these figures.

 

Well, no. 

 

There are 3 major kinds of testing:

 

Targeted random testing, where they go out in a neighborhood and test people off the street. 

 

Contact tracing and testing persons under investigation. 

 

Hospital walk-ins. 

 

Typically, each group has different positivity rates. 

 

Active testing has a posivity rate of 4-6%. PUI and walk-in testing have much higher rates, but they don't represent the general population. 

 

Today, 220 cases were discovered via targeted active case finding, for the whole country.

At 1.2% Thailand ranks sixth in ASEAN for population inoculation

 

Thailand ranks sixth among ASEAN’s 10 member countries for COVID-19 vaccination of their population, at 1.2%, with over 1.6 million doses being administered, according to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation.

 

More than 1.16 million vaccinations were the first dose, while the second jab account for over 434,000 doses to date. 49.5% of all the doses administered in Thailand were to medical personnel, according to data released by the ministry yesterday (Thursday).

 

All ASEAN countries have inoculated at least some of their population, as follows:

  1. Singapore: 2,213,888 doses (19.5% of its population), Vaccines: Pfizer and Moderna
  2. Cambodia: 2,4608,983 doses (7.7% of its population), Vaccine: Sinopharm
  3. Indonesia: 21,313,654 doses (3.9% of its population), Vaccine: Sinovac
  4. Malaysia: 1,624,272 doses (2.5% of its population) Pfizer and Sinovac
  5. Laos 345,818 doses (2.3% of its population) Vaccine: Sinopharm
  6. Thailand: 1,601,838 doses (1.2% of its population), Vaccines: Sinovac and AstraZeneca
  7. Brunei: 10,715 doses (1.2% of its population) Vaccine: AstraZeneca
  8. Myanmar: 1,040,000 doses (1% of its population) Vaccine: AstraZeneca
  9. Philippines: 2,129,185 doses (1% of its population) Vaccines: Sinovac and AstraZeneca
  10. Vietnam: 585,539 doses (0.3% of its population) Vaccine: AstraZeneca

https://www.thaipbsworld.com/at-1-2-thailand-ranks-sixth-in-asean-for-population-inoculation/

 

Note: the percentages above appear to be comparing the total numbers of doses given versus the countries' total populations. However, because the vaccines being given require two doses, the share of populations who have fully completed their vaccinations is going to be smaller percentages.

 

Thailand's vaccine update as of Friday  -- total doses, then first shot and second shot cumulative subtotals. Thus only about 450,000+ of Thailand's nearly 70 million population have been fully vaccinated thus far.

If the case numbers in those two respective countries are to be believed.... That will be a very strange day...when it comes.
