Because some people are saying the numbers are fake. 

This is what you said

 

"Let's say all the numbers are faked."

 

That does not equate to people saying the numbers are faked, its you making a hypothetical statement. Again I've not seen anyone saying they are throwing out fake numbers, unrealistic due to testing constraints but not fake.

The trouble is that the situation with private hospitals is still unclear. Bangkok Hospital, for example, won't even accept registration, as they say that they don't know when they will be able to have the vaccination. I really don't mind the costs, as long as I can get vaccinated, and soon!

This B117 UK highly contagious mutant strain has really caught them on the back foot. 

 

Quadrupled the numbers in 6 weeks from the previous 16 months.

 

Tragic.

now let's just imagine what the mutant strain from India (considered 5-6 x stronger then the one from the UK) will do... we (they) are in for a roller coaster

The results of a proactive detection of #COVID19 in Klong Toey community in #Bangkok 27 April to 8 May 2021: Summary of SWAB examination results of 16,131 cases The result is negative: 8,870 cases The result is positive: 477 cases * Waiting for 6,784 results

That's a hell of a lot of tests to be waiting on.  Wonder what the backlog is when I know of other countries that can process 50,000 tests a day.  Are there that few labs that can be certified, and is only the MOPH lab processing these tests.

Businesses in Thailand’s coastal province of Samut Sakhon are being sternly warned that they will face stiff legal action and closure if they are found to be hiring illegal migrant workers, following reports that some are being smuggled to the province and the capital.

It is interesting to compare the attitudes in Thailand and the UK. In the UK Covid is being waved goodbye and people beleive normality is just around the corner.

 

In Thailand a potential armaggedon awaits. It is the vaccination rates that make the difference.

United Kingdom ???????? 128,000 deaths

Thailand ???????? 382 deaths. (Yesterday's figures. )

I know where life has been more normal during the pandemic. And now, after loosing 336 times more people than Thailand (out of a similar size population and of course with many times over the financial, scientific, technological, governmental, and manufacturing resources) Britons can begin to return to normal. Well done UK.

Did he say that many of the new infections in Bangkok were from illegal migrant workers so they are beefing up borders?I listened twice and I'm sure that's what he said.

How many different targets have they announced in the last month? How about getting some actual doses of vaccine on the ground here and then into people's arms ASAP?

Oh! Is that's what is supposed to happen, here was I thinking it was just about wishful thinking....
