Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks like the MoPH is posting on efforts to expand the number of available ICU beds at Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok -- "Extended COVID ICU." Via Google Translate: "...to check the progress of the creation of ICU COVID-19 extensions inside Rajvi Hospital to manage the bed. The ICU of the hospital provides more crisis patients and is used for semi-crisis patients with severe conditions and closely monitoring ARI clinic at Rajwithi Hospital on 10 May 2564." https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2098560276953396&id=643148052494633 As posted earlier in this thread: "On Monday, health officials reported the number of COVID patients hospitalized in critical condition reached 1,151, with 389 of those on ventilators required in order to breath. That number has been reported as 1,138 on Saturday, then jumped to 1,442 on Sunday, and then was reduced to 1,151 on Monday without explanation. The total number of hospitalized patients rose by just five to 29,376, with 1,603 newly released." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Today's update from the Ministry of Public Health on how Thailand is faring versus world countries and its regional peer countries with the COVID pandemic, with the charts ranked by total numbers of COVID cases since the beginning. By that measure, Thailand ranks 99th among world countries for the latest day. Note - it looks like they have an error in the second chart for Thailand's new COVID deaths reported Monday, which was 22 as correctly listed on the first chart, and not the 17 listed on the second chart, which was the number for Sunday. It looks similarly like the number of new cases on the second chart for Thailand, 2,101, is mistakenly using Sunday's figure, while the correct new case figure for Monday is 1,630. The other totals are otherwise correct. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/322333476051650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The daily new case totals for Bangkok for May 4-10. Something tells me the Sunday weekend holiday had something to do with today's results: The second line below is showing Bangkok's daily totals. The first line above is showing Thailand's daily totals of domestic cases, excluding typically a relatively small number each day found among newly arrived international travelers in quarantine. As can be seen, the daily numbers tend to bounce up and down quite a lot, making one day changes pretty meaningless. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/a.106142991004034/322333422718322/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But numbers seem to have stabilised at around 2,000 which is low for a global pandemic, and death rates remain even lower (relatively). Hopefully, Thailand can still escape the worst and soon start opening up. It can easily escape the worst of it by not testing. They are relatively high numbers for the amount of tests performed. People keep harping on about it but it is a big issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But numbers seem to have stabilised at around 2,000 Shouldn't that read, the maximum of tests conducted daily has stabilized at the limit? After the songkran travel it quickly shot up from a few hundred to 2000 infections, and that is where it stayed. If you use some common sense, then you know that is not possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 4 hours ago, Henryford said: Weekend numbers are always down, expect a big jump today Usually the number posted over the weekends are lower due to slower Lab throughput. However, the BMA and CCSA ramped up mass testing in BKK starting on Friday, to 3000 per day from 2000 per Day, so expect the numbers of positives to climb on Tues going thro to the end of the week. Why to the end of the week. Because the mass testing ramp up is only until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I believe one of the main reasons for similar daily posts is frustration, knowing how different schemes and volumes of testing could statistically guide the country forward. However, as intimated in a short post of mine yesterday, I do not see this type of large scale testing happening. The Government, I guess, have their own stratedgy. Having said that, they have just started proactive testing in my little district in Phuket so who knows..... Further, I would now hope that they will use the testing resources saved to date to bolster the countries borders and push on big time with country wide vaccination.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) This MoPH chart is showing the daily new COVID case tallies/trends since the beginning of April, with the red line showing the country as a whole, the blue line showing Bangkok and five adjoining provinces, and the green line showing the total of the remaining 71 provinces. Remains to be seen whether the remainder of this week will show a continuing down trend, or the numbers will pop back up again. Both the country and Bangkok numbers have pretty much been yo-yoing up and down since the record highs toward last week of April. Today's new numbers aren't really marking any deeper lows than previously reached in the past couple weeks. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/a.106142991004034/322332789385052/ Edited May 10, 2021 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The MoPH also updated their graphic showing the total numbers of COVID patients hospitalized in Bangkok and surrounding provinces as of Sunday, 15,243 in total including regular hospitals and alternate hospital facilities. What the chart gently shows is that the volume of critical/serious condition patients in hospitals has been steadily rising since the start of the "third wave" outbreak at the beginning of April. The national number of critical cases reported Monday was a near record 1,151. The Bangkok and adjoining provinces "serious case" portion of that reached 600, or 4 percent of all COVID hospitalizations there. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/a.106142991004034/322333452718319/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
