Does he watch the news, get any info from his yes men?

It has started already in Pattaya

Oh I forgot BKK is Thailand in his eyes - other areas are just "the provinces"

This is news?

"take the “Phuket Sandbox” scheme into account before reopening borders on October 1st"

What perfect sense he is making. the sandbox was a complete failure as it exceeded its cancellation threshold a long time ago.

I think Thailand should keep to its plan of vaccinating 70% of the population and 100% of the sick and elderly before opening up. Them open up everything, live with Covid as in the UK

Sorry you sandbox supporters or residents of Phuket - the sand box was a complete waste of space.

Happy to be educated as to why not.

So with asymptomatic cases, ATK tests, and lack of testing, you think the true covid case count is significantly higher?  What about the death count?  Does this mean the death rate is actually lower??

No idea, but the Thai village based death certification does not normally include a PCR test.

Do you mean the asymptomatic cases?

 

ATK tests, those mentioned by Dr Udon of the CCSA, and generally those not identified through lack of testing.

Not sure the number of PCR positive tests are useful for trend analysis

Can optimistic posters get a grip please

Not true. I have recently visited Mission hospital and it was fairly quiet. A friend spent 4 nights in BPH last week for a non-Covid related problem, no shortage of beds. 

Just seen the news here only 10% beds left

Maybe fake news here?

Couldn't be bothered to read all 11 pages - all repeating the same mantra - not fair

Who cares it will fail anyway - apart from some Chinese "family" who will only come if they can own land. 

When the Chinese start buying land all hell will break loose.

Oh - oh the litter box is running out of beds.....

Tourists be ware that ANY treatment will be difficult.

Fudged figures again

12,583 'recognised' cases

6,436 ATK positives. (These are never added into the figures.)

Total - 19,019 probable cases

 

https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/

Add to that - most of the testing is still on arrival at hospital, howmany asymptomatic do not get tested (why go to a hospital), how many slightly ill who prefer home in bed to 2 weeks in a prison camp?

I agree with Dr Udon - lots of covid out there - not tested. The numbers reported by the general do not have real meaning and the trends... how can you look at a trend of data without meaning?

Good to see Dr Udon is still with us. Maybe a planned leak?

Maybe I am reading the data wrong but are almost all deaths caused by vax including CCP donkey wee - also by ill advised mixing?

Forget the silly hat etc - then she is pure Thai culture

Currency manipulation at its best. 

Yes 100% but unfortunately not state manipulation....

Generator?

Madness!

The numbers reported are positive tests from PCR tests and are not the new covid cases in Thailand. So comparing trends is misleading as we do not know the number of total new covid infections day by day.

The question is how many covid cases in Thailand? How many new cases today. I have no idea. Do you???
