This whole article seems to confirm 'community spread'
for well over a month already.......
they are a bit late
The key to understand what is going on here is not "what they say" but "what they do"
e.g. They have completely closed and isolated Phuket for what - 10 confirmed cases ?
And Pattaya - what is it - 5 ?
Eight weeks ago I said it was of the utmost importance to keep people accurately informed of the situation and for 8 weeks Thailands actions did not match their words - now they seem to be coming together but too late

The UK are currently testing 10,000 per day soon to increase to 25,000 per day
How is Thailand doing with a similar population - what is it - 100 per day with almost 10,000 in limbo status unknown so called PUI - sounds to me like they don't want to test then they don't have to produce actual confirmed CV cases just wait it out and hope they don't need more attention

dare I say it, Thais seem to think a mask is a cure all.
problem being - that is what they have been told and unfortunately it is not correct
It's what happens when you have experts in construction as health Minister

Yep, my wife of 10 years works at Bangkok hospital in Khon Kean.
I am going to assume you are not allowed to say much about what is going on there
a yes or no answer will do

Besides only a small % dies, which means that an enormous group is knocking on the doors of the hospitals grasping for air.
Good luck keeping that of social media.
no problem posting on social media they died of pneumonia or died with breathing difficulties but they are not allowed to say they died of CV-19 unless they were tested otherwise it is "fake news" and they could be arrested
So no test done it is not CV-19
are you getting it ?

They have tested less than 20,000 of a population of 70,000,000
Of those 20,000 there are still about 7,000 who don't know the results and are in hospital.
Therefore only about 13,000 people in the kingdom out of 69,000,000 know if they have the virus or not (0.000188 of the population)
Furthermore anybody who has died of the virus via a lung infection or pneumonia who isn't part of the 1388 positive victims is not part of the stats, as there is no testing of postmortem deaths
Let that sink in!
Must be hundreds if not thousands of deaths in the last few months that have been missed due to lack of testing
one of the best posts I have seen on the subject so far and I agree 100% and been saying much the same for weeks

Good news???
I think 143 new cases is the highest single day increase since this started, and if not THE highest, it's right up there among the highest.
And the numbers probably would be much much higher if the government's CV testing were widespread and easy to obtain, which it's not.
There nothing in this that strikes me as good news.
Right now, there's almost 7500 people admitted as inpatients in Thai hospitals with COVID type symptoms, and most of those apparently are still waiting for confirming tests. It's a much bigger problem than just 143 reported new cases in a day.
correct - if they don't test the nearly 10,000 PUI then no report of confirmed CV infection - just look at them for days hoping they will recover then send them home, so how many confirmed cases - only those tested and reported

(and I’m not suggesting everyone should be wearing a mask at all times). I wear one when out to alai the fears of the Uneducated, not so much for health reasons. And, the concerned Thais should be more worried about the several million Thais not adhering to the quarantine and not wearing mask.
exactly
The danger is that at some point in the future the Thais are going to use "farangs not wearing masks" as blame for the Thai epidemic that so far is generally unseen because they are not testing 10'000 PUI and those Thais infected are now spreading it like wildfire as we are starting to see in news reports

I hope you have the balls to concede that the "we" to whom you refer should read "I" because you, smedley, do not represent anyone here, never mind a communal veto!
"...and keep him safe"
So you're avoiding his coffee shop will keep him safe? That suggests that you're one of those that doesn't wear a mask for the peace of mind of others just for the hell of it. If you're a mask-wearer you wouldn't need to avoid the place to keep him safe.
we all make our own choices based on what is in front of us
You will never agree to anything I say on here - glad to see you have stopped your obsessive stalking of my posts - that really was "just weird"

Hmmmm,
Yes maybe it is the masks.
In South Korea, China, Japan people eat mostly Asian food.
In Italy, US, UK, France. Spain, not really.
Maybe the food is the reason,
or than maybe something else
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion about the matter.
and everyone is entitled to question it - it's called discussion

Total true again. Open the eyes.
I not understand why some people argue about wear mask so much. Is not difficult.
Not be selfish, considerate for elderly.
thousand+ die everyday now.
Next week will be 10,000+ everyday.
Do you understand what your government is doing
Can you explain what PUI is and why there are almost 10,000 of them, why are they not being tested ?, why are they just looking at them and doing nothing
I know the answer - see if you can tell me Yin since you seem to know everything else lol
Are you a medical professional or just read stuff and believe no matter what the source
Run along - there are adults here

Extremely hygienic, who knows what they are carrying unless they are dry sterilzed later before packing into boxes. They could not even be considered socially clean
the were doing this in Thailand with hospital waste - washing them by the thousand in washing machines ironing them and selling them as new - yes dirty farangs - right ?

First it was the chinese and now the farangs to be blamed. I wonder when they start to accept that thais are spreading this more than any farang or chinese person right now.
Because Thais take the blame for nothing, any excuse to pass responsibilty somewhere else - if that person hadn't sent a message to my phone I wouldn't have driven into the back of a truck lol

thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China most wear the mask in public place. Control corona.
When in Rome.
Italy, US, UK, France, Spain, Netherlands not like wear the mask in public place.
Look what happen.
If in public, please wear the mask.
Not be selfish.
mask wearing is primarily because your air quality is dangerous - how about lobbying you esteemed leaders to do something about it instead of coming on here and talk out your

It is not about facemasks - it is about hands and contact with surfaces and items passing it on, washing hands is paramount

which words do you interpret as "hatred" in my post, are you for real
Maybe English is not your spoken tongue so quite understandable if you interpreted it incorrectly
and just to add, I see more Thais not wearing masks than farangs
Good old health minister started down this hatred racism path and now the average Thai is coming off with the same deluded (deleted), I see they now stopped linking every CV infection to a foreigner - at least that's a start

I have 2 that I managed to scrounge - I know Thais have boxes of them and are reluctant to give them to foreigners - their primary customers and then they complain about foreigners not wearing them - idiots

That has got to be one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard
Just how exactly are they going to drink coffee wearing a mask, you claim your shop is only doing take away - where is it and I will make sure I avoid it like the plague - for good
and no - handling the mask defeats the whole objective wearing a mask
If you don't want to get infected then close your coffee shop and go home and stop spreading foreign hate around the place

ALERT! ‘Bar Beer Soi 6 Pattaya’ and 2 restaurants listed in COVID-19 alert spots
in Pattaya News
Posted
and the other elephant in the room
How many tests have they actually done in Thailand over the last 3 months - I will guess it is around 1,500 and no more than 2000
Compare that to the UK which is currently testing 10,000 "PER DAY" soon to increase to 25,000 "PER DAY" and the general testing rate in the west is huge, same with Japan Korea Malaysia and what about Thailand who not so long ago claimed they were the "Primary Medical HUB of SEA"
How many tests PER DAY ????????? what is it - 5 - 10 - 20 ??????????
How on earth could anyone expect accurate confirmed cases when they are testing very few people .................... HOW ?
