Just 1 positive out of a population of 70 million....... the daily flatulence from the ministry!

Magical Thailand, next illusion feeding their own people.?

Maybe tomorrow they can go for zero positive from a total of 3 tested nationwide!! with a crowd of generals all back slapping pointing at a huge zero in congratulations.

What a photo op that would be along with some photos of the queueing Thais waiting for a food handout from a group of farangs!!

Absolute disgraceful bar stewards!

80 years old should have been sent on his way with a warning for standing near the beach with friends.

Ripped for 50k by a bail guy, a future court date and and passport retained.

Ripped by the escort home just extortion at its finest.

Have they no common sense or shame? ..... guess the redundant jet ski scam is leaving empty coffers that need replenishing!

One for the international press I think to see Thailands finest at work!!

Meanwhile tourism minister, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, announced plans to attract “high quality” tourists who can afford longer holidays in Thailand

So they come fall in love with the place or a girl and keep spending......great!

But after trip number three they then face the Spanish Inquisition at the airport and possible rejection and detention............. for wanting to keep visiting and spending money.

Thailands attitudes and policies need a post covid review!

go and survey the villages in Isaan to get the true numbers ...

Absolutely .....

If they are not so old and have a minor fever they will be given paracetamol by the village doc and told to rest and probably be ok eventually.

 But no covid test...... this would be expensive and a trip to a major hospital and the village would be thrown into chaos if positive.

If older and with breathing health problems this is quite a regular event in the villages and the eventual recovery or demise is routine.

Again no covid test and any deaths the cause will be down to lung failure old age complications as per normal.

The real figures in Thailand require testing hundreds daily at all the major cities throughout the kingdom.

Yesterdays figure of 3 positive from a 70 million population doesnt indicate the all clear but simply shows so few tests been carried out.

Truly stunning 3 from 70 million population!

Or 3 from the 9 tested.

Either way!

Its amazing dumping bullocks Thailand ...........lets all rejoice!

All the whoopee do!! Thailand is down to single digits as predicted and we can now buy booze,

But 6 people from how many tested 21? or 56? 0r 106? and where exactly are the test results from and in which provinces.

With a policy of some testing in just so few areas the low figures are a charade to present to the media and public and justify policies.

What about reality with at least a thousand tested in each of the major cities nationwide.??

The beer ban being lifted is important because you would have to be slightly under the influence to really believe in your head or heart that these figures released are representative of the real Covid rate for a 70 million population that has a nationwide workforce that was for so many months exposed to the Chinese in the tourist areas of the country before dispersing nationwide.

They should re open the beaches!!...... so people can continue to bury their heads in the sand!!!

Do you expect 100's of cases to be reported tomorrow? I highly doubt it.

No I expect a number approaching the single digits perhaps 11 or 10, because thats what they choose to release even a blind man can see whats happening here!

Extensive testing  nationwide in relation to a 70 million population especially in the areas that have densely populated communities would give a real picture and abate a lot of future suffering, but it comes at a price of the testing and further extensive monthly support for all! 

it would require some huge scoops from the ministerial troughs and possibly a dip into Thailands currency and gold reserves a plan that  doesnt bode well with the leadership.

They really need to stop playing around in the margins looking for a new case here and two news cases there and start mass-testing of immigrant workers stuck in crowded dormitories. Around 80% of all cases in Singapore have been linked to dormitories housing low-paid workers. Construction sites around Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok would be a good place to start.

 

And while they're at it, aggressive testing of compounds and villages where low-paid Thais live in overcrowded conditions is also needed. If the virus is currently circulating undetected among the general population, waiting for its chance to start some clusters leading to uncontrolled exponential growth, then these are the places it's most likely to be, where the low-paid of any nationality are forced to endure cramped and crowded conditions (not just foreigners, geddit it Khun Prayut and Khun Anutin?).

 

Please get you thumbs out of your butts, testing people, measuring the temperature of 100,000 motorists in air-conditioned cars and finding that none of them has an elevated temperature tells you nothing useful at all. Go ye forth into the poor places and test many souls there, if you dare!

Totally agree.!!!......l but they are working to their own agenda of minimal sporadic testing if that and publishing a daily downward trend of cases, bearing no relation to the 70 million population.

They appear not to care about the harsh reality and churn out nonsense figures like TAT!

WHO and heads of state should be calling soon to consult Prayut on his magical Covid 19 management policy.

A daily release of how many tests conducted at each of the hospitals at all of the cities nationwide with the results.......... would produce a clear picture.

However this would involve clarity and honesty and show true numbers being tested in relation to a 70 million population. 

New Zealand population 6 million and a full lockdown. Circa 1400 covid cases.

Thailand population 70 million and a partial curfew and prior 6 months exposure to masses of Chinese.

Circa 2800 covid cases.

Simply amazing Thailand.!

Wake up and smell the coffee!

Thailands incredible handling of Covid amazing, the less we test the less positives to report and the hundreds tested at  private hospitals we wont include those figures either.

So a country of 70 million who welcomed the Wuhan Chinese for months has only circa 2900 positives.

Stunning management by Team Thailand... country opened up again soon fantastic! nothing to see here move along please....... and over the coming months just an incredible increase in cases of Dengue or seasonal flu or simply routine lung failure but not Covid 19 so no need to count the numbers!

No loss of face and minimal damage to the levels of the ministerial troughs!

lets wait for todays figures maybe 18 and not out from a total of 127 tested nationwide.........the rest just give them 12 paracetamol  a day that will bring the temperature readings down. 

I posted this earlier in another topic before todays planned figures.... i guessed 18, not so far off.

Press release for single figures by end of week is being drafted now!
