I'm interested to see if Feb. 2020 compares to Feb. 2019 and, so on. My belief is that the one death due to C-19 is an understatement and that if we were to see death data for all causes, we might see if the numbers are actually increased. I doubt they aggregate data from all country hospitals where paperwork still means paper work. Just like the TM6's. They are in a warehouse somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 100% Thai's wearing them. Is this a macho thing. Raaaaa it's just a flu bro, man up, real men go licking mosque gates, immune system takes care of it, nobody is going to take away my right to be an a-hole, Tarzan bundolo! That's the spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if they are soon herded into a processing center for a bit of attitude adustment. In this case it would be welcome. It's also why lockdowns are a must.

Popular Post MobileContent Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just now, 248900_1469958220 said: I dont get it. Thailand was the first country in the world to have a case outside China. 'On January 13, the WHO reported a case in Thailand, the first outside of China, in a woman who had arrived from Wuhan'......so you are telling me there has been a spike starting now? Its obviously been out there months and months. Is the warmer weather slowing its spread? New research seems to point to this. This is the second Covid-19 wave to Thailand. The first wave was from Wuhan and the 2nd wave was internally inflected by Thailand, Japan and South Korea. South Korea stopped after a few days but the countries of Thailand and Japan keep flying. The first wave came from Wuhan directly and I enclose a screenshot which should shows all flights out of Wuhan. The second screenshot shows the flights from Bangkok into China but also into all the other Asian countries. Thailand had most flights into China then South Korea and Japan. We also run five Linux servers 24 hours a day to compute all possible scenarios and have we finished for Italy and China. The China numbers are completely under reported: 2020-01-26 70 Days 74,857 new Infections 7 Days 128,659 Total after 70 days 6,559 deaths /week 12,241 26 Jan 2020 58,487,760 Hubei Prov. On 26 January we had a total infection in Wuhan of 128,659 with 12,241 death of which 6,559 death occurred between 18 - January - 26 January 2020. The final death toll would be 12,241 as of 26 Jan 2020. 2020-03-22 56 26,603 55,303 2,504 5,625 61,311,935 2020-03-30 64 44,693 95,727 4,269 9,894 61,307,666 2020-04-07 72 73,297 161,916 7,108 17,002 61,300,558 This above is our modelling for the population of Italy. We took a very high number of infections dating back a week before Chinese New Year and are very accurate. The curve from Italy will come in a week time between 27 to 29 as they have been on a lockdown for the past 2 weeks. Italy has a got chance to get away with 13,000 to 20,000 deaths and by end of April no new infections are recorded. Thailand is just starting but the numbers from Thailand and China are the same. Kanchanaburi had certainly a death and so did Kalasin and Samui. Their is no transparent reporting and all cases are recorded for Bangkok only. My guess they will protect Bangkok but the other provinces will be on their own. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weelegs Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 5 hours ago, Mavideol said: thought the virus didn't like the hot weather, it must have adjusted/assimilated to the heat fast, Prayut better close the country down or lock it down ow whatever he wants to call it .....but it has to be done fast, no more wasting time There is no evidence that this virus is seasonal (except speculation by Donald Trump, contradicted by his own expert advisers). There are two other serious diseases caused by other strains of coronavirus. These are SARS and MERS. We do not have enough data on SARS to know if it was seasonal (it died out before a seasonal pattern could be confirmed or ruled out). MERS is not seasonal and certainly not inhibited by warm weather -- it has continued as an endemic disease in Saudi Arabia and the middle east. I assume that President Trump, or somebody he was watching on television, was confusing coronavirus with the unrelated influenza A virus, which indeed is transmitted much less in warm weather. Nobody who knows virology would have made this error. Maybe it's time to listen to the experts. Will Covid-19 spontaneously die out like SARS did? Will transmission go down with warmer weather? We don't know yet, but neither looks likely so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it only seems valid until you reach a point where the density of carriers is high enough for the primary transmission mode to change from catching it from surfaces to catching it from aerosolized air from people nearby. That's my hunch and interpretation of the recent events. Lockdown and then hot&rainy season should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stuandjulie Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 It will hit soon and hard, the problem is with comprehension, here in the UK the sun is shining and all looks lovely, it is only just starting to sink in what is needed to stop this virus and by that time it is too late, the UK figures are near enough an exact match to Italy but two weeks behind so watch this space, Thailand is about 2 weeks behind the UK in numbers. It is ridiculous to keep fooling yourselves that Thailand will be relatively ok because it is hot ! Plenty of other hot Countries are in the sh+t as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good post.
