According to WHO Thailand the trend should take effect 5 - 7 days after the cases decrease: "The trend in deaths tends to follow the pattern in cases (especially severe and ventilated cases) 5-7 day’s later."

Pretty sure he has no clue himself what it means, suck it and see seems to be the approach, totally out of his depth its an embarrassment.

PCR tests, total of 14,956 official new infections, with 356 of those from prison and 14,600 from community, another uptick from yesterdays figures. 262 covid deaths again an increase from yesterdays figures. Rapid tests positive cases, 2,718 bringing the unofficial total to 17,647, both showing an increase against the previous downward trend. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/ 47,304 official pcr tests carried out yesterday. Continual daily decrease. Rolling 7 day average (up to 31st Aug) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases from daily official announcements. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

I think your confusing active cases per capita and accumulated cases over the pandemic period. Phuket has obviously been an anomaly against all other Provinces in Thailand, it did not go through the same increase in cases as the rest of Thailand in the 3rd wave as it contained it well. Its only since July that cases started to creep up by communal spread (nothing to do with sandbox). At the beginning of July cases were in the single digits daily then have shown a slow but steady increase to the high of the last couple of days. This goes against all other Provinces which are decreasing, so their total number of cases have been accumulating at a much slower rate. They only went to the 5th highest infected Province per capita on the 31st Aug, you can track back where they were previously here. Added to this Phuket is the highest vaxxed Province in the whole of Thailand. Hence why I said that obviously their covid deaths will be lower. They've only had 20 covid deaths since 1st April which with a case count of 4,535 makes a covid mortality rate of about 0.48%, very low. As for testing, a media article of one Province does not make a comparison to the other Provinces in Thailand, for that you need to track back each Province testing data here https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/index.php?dashboard=province You can also track back positivity rates per health district here https://djay.github.io/covidthailand/

Obviously not the 5th in covid deaths. Regards tests you are just speculating. I was giving official figures.

Mass Sinopharm vaccination campaign started in Pattaya and Chonburi area, goal is 70% vaccinated by end of October The Pattaya City Mayor has confirmed, according to him, that by at least the end of October, 70 percent of Pattaya residents will be vaccinated. The city has received 60,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccines so far which are being vaccinated to roughly 2,000 people per day. Meanwhile, the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Office has received 220,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccines which are being vaccinated to 110,000 Chonburi area residents, especially in Sattahip which is part of the proposed tourism plan for Pattaya’s “Move On” program. https://thepattayanews.com/2021/09/01/mass-sinopharm-vaccination-campaign-started-in-pattaya-and-chonburi-area-goal-is-70-vaccinated-by-end-of-october/

The government plans to reopen Bangkok, Chonburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chiang Mai for vaccinated tourists by October 15, the tourism minister said. But, this is still pending approval from the doctors at the Ministry of Public Health. https://twitter.com/erich_parpart/status/1433021482775441408 https://www.kaohoon.com/news/474416

I'll comment for you then, do you have the stats for age groups post vaccinations in deaths? This includes figures from Jan 2020 and vaccinations in US did not start till Dec/Jan 2021, so stats from when the majority of over 60's had been vaccinated would give a far better perspective right?

There are old people in Phuket too not just north Thailand

Thai tourists to Phuket the 5th most infected Province per capita, highly unlikely.

Not sure how he can justify not joining to be honest, joining Covax would not have stopped you from ordering directly with vaccine manufactures aswell. Covax was another opportunity missed simple as that.

Ok, I've been here half that figure and not heard it aside from a few who were hesitant to take Sinovac.

Where did you get that note from?

Covid-19: Singapore residents who took Sinovac turn to Pfizer to up their antibody counts, amid debate on booster shots Even after receiving her second dose of the Sinovac vaccine last month, Soh, a 43-year-old Singaporean, was unsure about her immunity levels. So she went to get an antibody test – and the result took her by surprise. Her antibody count stood at 140, a figure her doctor said was about 10 times lower than what someone would have after two Pfizer-BioNTech doses, which along with Moderna shots are provided free to residents of the island nation above the age of 12. Dr Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious diseases specialist at Rophi Clinic, one of 31 private clinics allowed to administer Sinovac jabs, said there had been an increasing number of patients who found there was inadequate protection from the Chinese-made vaccine. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3146944/covid-19-singapore-residents-who-took-sinovac-turn

What is the median age now after vaccinations, again this takes statistics from 8 months before the UK started vaccinations, total misrepresentation of post vaccination deaths presently.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, thats been in the public domain for months, why do you think that its such a secret and who ever doubted it? Statistics taken from 8 months before vaccinations were administered in March 2020.

Tough one to call, there has been a real decline in testing but to balance that there is also a real decline in ICU and those on ventilators, if one is to believe the official figures. In my view it does seem less intense, those dying at home have decreased in previous days.

UPDATE: 14,802 confirmed cases. 1,880 probable cases. 7-day testing average is 47,485. Out of 166,922 patients, 24,161 in hospital, 75,659 in hospitel and 64,079 in home/community isolation. 4,917 in a serious condition (-86) with 1,040 on ventilators (-2) https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1432871471609626625

PCR tests, total of 14,802 official new infections, with 217 of those from prison and 14,585 from community, uptick from yesterdays figures. 252 covid deaths shows a sharp increase. With lockdown easing starting today lets see how cases infections go over the next few days. Rapid tests positive cases, 1,880 bringing the unofficial total to 16,465, showing an increase against the previous downward trend. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/ 47,485 official pcr tests carried out yesterday. Continual daily decrease. Rolling 7 day average (up to 30th Aug) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases from daily official announcements. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

I guess he forgot the photo evidence of them running was in the public domain yesterday.

Best you do that hole is getting pretty big to climb out of

No, Israel got it right, their covid deaths are half of previous waves, no need for a study, pure fact. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/israel

Welcome to science.

A lot of people have been dying at home because of full hospitals so thats an option for you. No resources used by the nanny state. Don't recommend it though!

Some people have families to look after and prefer to keep safe so their children will continue having their parent
