Corona viruses like seasonal flu peak in cold weather and die off in the heat so Thailand could be helped by the current high heat and humidity

I'm surprised they had the courage to put China on the list. 

The same should be applied to all tourists from those countries. Stay in your hotel room for 2 weeks. Room service only lol

If they are not hiding them, then they are clearly not testing many people. About 1,500 tests since the beginning of January. The <deleted> will hit the fan very soon.

Thailand is expected to be the most at risk country outside China. But you can't report cases if you don't test enough people. Simple.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. Agree with others that a large number of confirmed sick people in hospital would be hard to hide. If you don't test them, you can get away with calling their illnesses something else. Makes sense.
