BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand reported 32 new cases of the coronavirus on Sunday in the largest daily jump in infections since the outbreak began, bringing its total tally to 114, health officials said.

 

The new patients include 17 people infected at pubs and boxing stadiums, persons who were in contact with foreigners, and those who returned from overseas, Sukhum Kanchanapimai, the health ministry's permanent secretary, told a new conference.

 

There are 51 others waiting for test results, Sukhum said.

 

The health ministry will on Monday propose to a virus center chaired by the prime minister to reduce people entering Thailand, to close entertainment places with high risk, and to cancel people gathering activities, Sukhum said.

 

The ministry will also disclose places, where patient have been found, he added.

 

On March 11, Thailand said it would temporarily suspend issuing visas on arrival to visitors from 19 countries and territories, including China, to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

 

One person has died of the virus in Thailand. Thirty seven people have recovered and been discharged from hospital.

9 at Muay Thai stadium, 3 at the pub, 3 at Suvarnabhumi, 7 from holidays abroad, 2 foreigners.

 

Amazing how only people from overseas and a few in BKK have it.

The rest of the country is under the dome

Like something out of a Stephen King novel!

t was the biggest daily jump in cases in Thailand, which was one of the first countries outside China to report coronavirus infections that has since swept much of the world.

First to report and the lowest infection rate. The Thai health service must be the best in the World (or the figures are massaged). You make your choice. I'll take a Thai massage.

New stickers in Thai hospitals

The reported figures seem to be missing at least one zero at the end, maybe two zeros.

Big % rise.

Perhaps a start on the way to reality and truth.

So the virus has decided to ignore the orders of the PM. Wonder what his next announcement will be.

I think they might have realized it is too hard to hide anymore, when sick people are starting to post of social media.

Anyone who believes the numbers the Thai gvt puts out is in serious need of a reality check.

 

So, it's probably time to go to my favorite pub for a few more pints right away.

That's sad ...but probably a good decision to make.

Thanks

As a friend of me said when I complained about his fart. "I do not understand you. Why the he.. do you snort up in your nose what I not even want in my ass"?

the numbers are probably much more, more similar 15,000+ studies show on covid-19 patients may be misdiagnosed get dengue fever to false positives in dengue serological tests coronavirus diagnosis: typical clinical andalaboratory features to plague dengue covid-19 disease are quietly identical  and difficult to distinguish.  More than 20,000 people in Thailand have dengue fever so far this year and 25 have died from disease.  This is a doubling of dengue fever cases compared to the same period last year, meter khaosod.

Someone farts, everyone turns around and says "who did it!", and they all catch the virus!

So, it won't work!

 

In other news the air in Chiang Mai is well over 400

They closed the schools in BKK when it was 170

Manila locked down with only 100 reported cases. That seemed a tacit acknowledgement of many more undetected cases. A Filipino academic was saying on Al Jaz that they don’t have enough testing kits and there’s no way to estimate how many cases there may be. He lamented the fact 48 hours notice of the Manila lock down was given which resulted in a massive exodus.

 

I guess the countries in Asia with ineffective, corrupt Governments are getting to the end of phase 1 of their strategies which involved lying  profiteering from essential supplies  and suppressing information but otherwise doing nothing but frittering away precious time. This will turn out not to be successful.
 

Soon we will see what phase 2 will look like.

Why is it that there seems  so much  conviction that the Thai authorities  are  telling lies?

They can only report the numbers of confirmed victims,  ongoing status and any  deaths.

What people seem to want to ignore  is the thousands that have  come under investigation, ongoing or cleared. That  airport arrivals feature  is obviously because they are being screened  like ducks in a row. Expectations that other than those who have the financial capacity  to pay  for a  test unless they  present at a  medical facility in dire need of intervention how would it be possible to screen and test a population at large? Testing is  a "confirmation" of positive  or negative. Useful if positive to attempt to identify others at possible  cross infection.

But the obvious reality is that it is already in the community. Instead of  harping on  about "testing" people  should adopt  best practice and advise others to do also without involving hype and pointless  paranoia.
