Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 A woman from Klong Toey community receives coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine, in Bangkok, Thailand, May 4, 2021. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun/File Photo Health officials in Thailand on Sunday reported 2,804 new COVID-19 and 18 more fatalities. 409 of the new cases were linked to prisons. Despite the occasional single day spike in cases (as seen on Saturday), Thailand’s cases have fallen significantly since its record of almost 10,000 new cases was reported less than one month ago. Sunday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 195,909 with 1,449 deaths. The news comes as Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha announced on Saturday that a number of businesses will be allowed to reopen from Monday (June 14). “After careful consideration, the relaxation can go ahead as planned,” he said. “The outbreak situation is now at a controllable level and residents of Bangkok, especially those in these businesses, have already received vaccinations.” Businesses allowed to reopen include beauty clinics, massage shops for foot massage only, tattoo parlours and nail salons. Public parks and museums in the capital will also be allowed to open. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-13 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RobMuir Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 The numbers haven't exploded with this UK variant like it did in many other countries that had daily deaths in the hundreds and even thousands. Looks like the stringent measures they have enforced along with the public that has largely complied has made a huge difference and saved thousands of lives. With a bit of luck hopefully it further fizzles out and businesses on the brink will be saved also.

Of course there were cases in the Provinces before Songkran, the UK variant broke out on the 5th April in Bangkok so plenty of time. However Songkran travel lead directly to every single province in Thailand being infected within 2 weeks of the 15th April Over 90% of cases are UK Variant, it has spread, fact, Songkran travel aided that spread, fact Edited June 13, 2021 by Bkk Brian 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only say that whenever there are low numbers and measures are then relaxed it leads to trouble. Just look at the UK right now. You can only relax when the numbers are close to zero, as with China for instance. Look at Vietnam and Taiwan: Are they relaxing with just a few hundred cases? No they are doubling down. UK started to open again when numbers were 2000 per day, now it's reached 8000 per day in just over one month, and that's despite one of the best vaccine roll outs in the world. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for your response. 10 extra deaths per province per day would easily go unnoticed especially as deaths from other causes have declined. That would be 770 deaths per day. Of course the easy way to tell would be excess deaths. So over to you to show me an accurate representation of excess deaths in Thailand over the last 12 months. UK death rates were much higher due to Covid... show me evidence of any overflowing morgues or bodies on the street from the last few months. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we hit over a 1000 a day, same thing, its under control, 2,000 a day, ah the peak is over, now we are where we are and the complacency has set in again, ah its under control.

Yep, the numbers haven't exploded and much credit is due to the community discipline and the million health volunteers. Their contribution in the provinces and overcrowded migrant communities has been vital. Fact that this wave is very much concentrated in the prisons, factories and migrant communities says a lot about the overall control, compared to most countries where Covid ends up being more widespread and hence much harder to manage. Hoping case numbers soon start to fall, as been around the 2,000 - 3,000 level for weeks. Expect that once under total control again, the Thai deaths per million (now 21) will still be lower than Australia (currently 35) and 20-50 times lower than most of Europe and Americas, e.g. UK 1875.https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries Edited June 13, 2021 by Donga 1 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
