Low new PUI is probably because of their admission criteria, which is also why we're not seeing stage 3, they are not counting as PUI those without recent travel, contact to tourists, etc unless they already have heavy symptoms: https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/file/guidelines/G_CPG_en.pdf Starting to look blindingly clear the virus is making rounds in general population. Prepare for stage 3, mandatory quarantines. Where did you get this? I would like to access this site ...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current global closed case (correct calculation) fatality rate this morning is above 10% and rising. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Your only taking numbers from closed cases, that do not include the mild cases that just fade away. When talking the all inclusive 246800 cases the death rate is about 4%. And that number is for on the record cases. How many more mild and asymptomatic cases are off radar. The number probably is 2% Edited March 20, 2020 by morrobay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Italy they are currently dying in the thousands and fruit and vegetables abound there. This is only the beginning for Thailand.

So 17 infections were spontaneous? Or are they saying that 17 people were infected at ground zero at the market in Wuhan?

Singapore is having a second wave, could be people returning there. Not good news. The entire world needs to under quarantine for this to stop.

Still, Thailand is doing better than some First World countries (I'm talking about you, United Kingdom!). We're self-quarantining, because my wife was critically ill with pneumonia two years ago. She's at high risk. Makro in Rawai, Phuket wasn't going crazy two days ago. Hopefully, Buddhist Thai's won't panic like stupid, spineless westerners. Go well!! Funny you believe that Thailand is doing better than anybody.. Funny you believe the figures.. UK are paying ppl who have lost their jobs.. Are Thailand?

Niteowl45 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 On 3/19/2020 at 8:26 PM, christophe75 said: We know that the virus is widespread. Already. Because : -Iconic cases (cruise ship in Japan, and Veneto, the small town in Italy, and of course South Korea) AKA : the more you test... the more you find. -several studies and official reports (the last one from Governor of California : "We project that roughly 56 percent of our population -- 25.5 million people -- will be infected with the virus over an eight week period") [source] https://www.foxla.com/news/newsom-requests-trump-deploy-usns-mercy-hospital-ship-to-los-angeles -basic common sense : many ministers, MP, officials and... movie/TV stars are infected. The only way, from a statistical point of view, to explain this... is that the virus is widespread among the population. All the population. Do we agree on this fact ? OK. So if we agree that virtually everybody on earth will be infected at one point or another... then the "CFR" (case fatality ratio) of this terrible virus... will be very, very low... unlike the crazy calculations people make for Italy, Iran etc. Do we agree on this fact ? Here you are. We've just demonstrated that this virus is bad, annoying, and will probably kill a few dozen thousands people on the planet (on a population of 8 billions), but is not apocalyptic. To shut down the world for this... is pure insanity. (and please do not tell me about individual tragedies... that's not the point here). Dude, like so, so many others you are completely missing the point.... Yes, the virus itself is bad but not terrible, you're absolutely right there..... But you fail to understand that the issue here is not the virus itself, but the fact that at a time when tons of people get sick at the same time the system is overwhelmed and many patients who would be fine with intensive health care are left to die. Not to mention that if hospitals are flooded with sick people it will also be harder for them to properly care for people with many other issues. The real danger is the combination of 1- a virus that spreads very fast, and forces a high percentage (well, apparently between 5 and 10%) of patients to require intensive care 2- The spike, or sudden surge, in patients numbers, overwhelming health care systems and therefore severely increasing the mortality rate of the flu while also increasing the mortality rate of other illnesses (hospitals overrun) We don't know what will happen etc, but we do know that in Italy the mortality rate is now close to 7%.... if we just allow the virus to quickly spread everywhere many countries will turn into the war zone that Italy is now. The spike overrun their system and there aren't enough resources to provide intensive care. And, as already said, if hospitals are overrun people suffering due to other issues will also be affected. And by the way, the flu kills 800,000 elderly people every year...this one could kill millions in one year (if unchecked) If we are youngish and healthy we'll probably be fine, true, but letting the virus rage unchecked would be a million times worst than whatever inconveniences are generated by the lockdown. No need to panic but take it seriously dude..... do you really believe people like Trump would close the border and declare national emergency, thereby losing millions, just for fun? There's no need to panic, but this is a serious threat that must be dealt with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 COVID is not present in 109 countries, and the emerging winners so far are three countries: 1. russia with 136 confirmed cases 2. thailand with 272 cases 3. s. korea with 0 (zero !) cases what is the secret of this countries? some experts say that in russia it is the vodka that kills the virus. i firmly believe it is true, allthough don't with to try. and in thailand? don't lough. i do believe the numbers from thailand. you can't hide a serious outbreak like in italy or spain or china. the proof for thailand's low corona numbers are simply the hospitals (to see how a busy corona hospital check the photo). the hospitals are all normal, so...what is the secret of thailand?
