Countries testing more fine more infections. Thailand isn’t testing anywhere near the amount of other countries.

Imagine if Thailand tested as much as the UK. You’d see big numbers then, but Thailand isn’t testing anywhere near the numbers of the UK.

Of course not, most Thais are sensible and don’t want COVID19.

You don’t really think the 200 who tested positive are the only ones with infections, so you?
If they find 200 per day, there’s hundreds more per day they didn’t catch.

15 hours ago, Guderian said:I'm encouraged, four days ago it looked like we were at the start of a rapid (if not exactly exponential) growth in case numbers. Now it looks as if the control measures might be having an effect. This is three weeks after the four-day long-weekend we had in December, and there don't seem to be any clear signs yet that the nationwide travel during that period spread the virus in any serious manner. And don't forget that, three days ago, the disease control dept warned us that there were still a lot of test results in the pipeline and we would see these coming through over the next week, resulting in high case numbers. Hopefully, what we're seeing now is just that, and the underlying trend of what's actually happening in terms of falling case numbers is masked by the backlog of positive test results. Maybe I'm being over-optimistic, but I certainly hope not.
You’re only seeing the results of limited testing.
If 200 are found as positive, there are 800+ that were not tested who are also positive.
The fact that they are finding 100 - 200 per day says the virus is very widespread now with 100s - 1000s of infections in every major city, spreading even more by the day.
Prepare for a major lockdown.-

Where do I find the number of tests reported?
You can keep track of their numbers on world meters. That’s in English. They are often a day late so look at “yesterday” for what was reported. There’s also Thai sources.

It would be useful to know how many tests they have conducted, out of which they are extracting the cases.....
Thailand has performed around 200,000 tests in the past 5 months. Compared to everyone else, that’s shockingly low.
They test 17k per 1 million people.

Nobody has asked "how many tests actually conducted in Thailand?
All of that is online and updated daily. They are still not testing a lot, 17k tests per 1 million people.
Compared to countries of similar population size, they are testing 800k and 500k per 1 million.
Even Myanmar is testing double the amount that Thailand is at 33k per 1 million, which says a lot because they have one of the worst health care systems in the entire world.
This has always been the case when Thailand. No tests, no problem.
But where are the deaths? Says everyone who doesn’t know how to search for data.
There are so many countries with a lot of infections that have low death rates. You can scroll through the data, one country after the other, all with low deaths but plenty of infections. Regional examplesj would be Singapore with 59k infections and 29 deaths, Sri Lanka 43k and 199 deaths, and Malaysia 100k with 460 deaths.
When this is all over, look at Thailand’s excess deaths. These are deaths beyond what the predicted deaths are for any one year. They probably won’t count those in the mountains or tiny villages where people die at home and get burned locally, but it will count many who did make it to he hospital. You’ll then see all the deaths that were above and beyond the normal and were probably COVID19 related.

Seriously , is anybody deluded enough to believe any figures chucked out by this administration ? We’ve had stats for road traffic deaths , mortality rates in the south due to the insurgency , tourist arrival numbers , projected tourism numbers and their likely spend patterns ( when there was such a thing ) etc.
Factor in the lack of a viable testing programme and you’re throwing darts in the dark.
I think the numbers are greatly understated and it’s noticeable they’re on the rise during the cooler season which ties in with patterns around the world.
The World Health Organization claims Thailand underreports their road casualties by at least 30%.
With that in mind, you can’t trust their numbers on anything.

Not making sense with the numbers, you would expect an exponential growth. This appears just like the first mini wave we had. The numbers can not be right, or are they not including all again.
You can see the testing numbers online, they are still not testing much.

Not really going to be a lockdown when regional governors still have the say so to new year parties and bars / clubs still able to open to midnight...so its going to be kind of a lockdown but not really a lockdown in the sense of the words used.
All those tourists who went through quarantine and spent all that money are going to be thrilled when everything shuts down.
You can always count on getting screwed in Thailand, one way or the other.

Yes, let’s brag about 3000 who came back to Thailand last month, many who actually live here, and ignore those who won’t be coming anytime in the near future due to outbreaks, things being shut down, and quarantine.

13 hours ago, welovesundaysatspace said:So where have those 10% symptomatic cases been if it was here all along? They would have shown up in a hospital if that bogus theory of widespread Covid in Thailand was true.
This is getting old. There are plenty of counties with lots of infections and low deaths, and there are possible reasons why that is but nothing concrete yet.
Infections do not always equal deaths. Say that in your head as many times as you have to until you understand the meaning of those words.

They don’t have the capacity to test that many people per day.

The bar nearest to us was packed over the weekend. People standing out on the road as you drive by, typical outdoor venue, zero masks.
New Years travel has the potential to wreck Thailand to the point of no return. Once it gets away from them, and it’s looking like that’s happening already, they will be in the same situation as the rest of the world.
I just can’t tell if they are allowing this to happen so they can finally put an end to the protests and dissidents, or if they are so greedy that they are willing the risk it all for whatever money can be made over the next few days. It’s pure ignorance either way.
The health minister is isolating due to Covid exposure. What else do you need to know about how they are handling it?

It that was the case indeed we would have seen much more hospitalizations and deaths.
Except for it’s not unusual for countries to have a lot of infections and low hospitalizations and deaths.
This isn’t a black or white thing, there’s a lot of grey area.

The government always says there is nothing to worry about and it’s all under control.
They don’t have any idea what’s going on. The health minister is isolating due to risk of infection.

Let the propaganda begin.
Thailand’s miracle cure.

The fact they all haven’t been tracked down and tested already says everything you need to know about how poorly this is being handled.

Thailand reports 315 new COVID-19 cases
in Thailand News

Around 9% of the Thai population is diabetic. You can do the math on that.
