More dodgy numbers, or are the social distancing measures actually starting to work?

Let's hope it's the latter!

According to the papers this morning, the measures in the UK have reduced R₀ from 2.6 down to just 0.62, a level at which the contagion will fizzle out. I really hope that Thailand is following a similar path.

Australia has population ~25mill.

They have tested 260,000

How many tests have Thailand done.

The figures are meaningless, unless you know how many tests were carried out

Every day 100 - 120 cases. 

I am on the right track, tmr around 80 cases due to no foreigners enter from airport.

pubs open again on May 1st???

Absolutely no chance, the economy can’t stand halt for that long and the infection figures are low and steady. 
 

that would be a massively disproportionate response

Zero chance.

Only in Thailand: the virus has stopped having an exponential increase. It has "thailandized" itself, becoming unique and rejecting foreign standards.

So they tested 1% of the population ?? 

Not very good is it...

 

Best in the world though, according to Scotty M..

Got figures for other countries and more importantly figures for Thailand?

Trump says quarter of a million US citizens will die in the next 2 weeks in a best case scenario and distancing measures are adhered to. This is not hysteria. They don't shut down countries for no reason. Thailand won't be opening bars again anytime soon- expect November time for rules to begin to be relaxed at the very earliest. It will be many years before normality resumes.

how can you expect more per day with only 500 to 600 screaning this is already 20%!

or possibly, now too lazy to make the effort. ????

Cases by area of Thailand.  Daily updated figures usually match"official"figures.  I don't think today's update is fully completed as they don't match and look incorrect. https://covidtracker.5lab.co/

Mate, don’t start a sentence with “Trump says!”

Even taking 1/10th of the US estimate, it is worrying times. Especially since there is no full lockdown/curfews in places like US and Thailand yet.

That's right it should start with "Simon says"

numbers are not matching lockdowns on this scale, you are already seeing rebellion  articles in Europe, here with no human rights, meaning no mass testing same Germany, US, S.Korea, then they will be looking, and knowing they can’t keep the lockdowns in this way for too long, easing up will have to happen April into May,

 

it will still take,  weeks/months for people overall to get used to post-Wuhan virus, but this game of restricting people and controlling cash handouts for popularity stakes will become tiresome to the masses very quickly
 

that’s not to downplay those at high risk, or forget hygiene practices and safe distance practices, those things, I am

sure will stay will people for a lot longer,

 

this anti-human rights regime will never care enough, for people to actually keep on top of a virus spread like this, they will be too much questioning of job losses, crashing of economy for it to keep like this for much longer,

 

all they did was hide behind the more media popular pandemic places of Iran, Italy, London and New York, they faked caring for 1 month with these procedures copying other countries, and still the numbers everyday are comical, it’s sad for those that have lost lives, or infected

 

living with copy cat communists will never see fair systems in the country, let’s hope the new dawn will eventually bring about a change of system by the masses

What's the latest with possible curfew in Thailand. I realize Phuket has already.

The Thai gf telling me the jungle drums suggesting 10pm to 4am. Across the board. Possible? She is often correct sadly.

was talking to the misses, who said lots of cases in Thailand and going to get messy in country areas. Also said most people cant afford the 8500B fee for test (dont know of any truth in that), so they are being told they have pneumonia and get sent home with rest and drugs.

This Covid is getting really boring, Thailand is now on the ground, I was surprised by the information that the government is willing to give 5,000 Baht for the duration of 3 months to 3 million people who, due to the virus, have lost their job, when the number of beneficiaries was increased to 9 million I was even more surprised.
But what I ask myself, is it possible that a ministry does not know the situation of its citizens? According to my estimate, workers without social insurance are certainly more than 20 million, how do you plan to secure them all?

Is anything ever normal in Thailand based on usual world norm's?
