Popular Post ThreeEyedRaven Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 I had been hoping it was going to drop a bit more than that, but it seems to confirm a downward trend over the last ten days or so. It would be very handy for numbers to drop away after the Songkran period has passed. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 They've evidently given up trying to stop the Songkran celebrations in Pattaya, and the attempt to do the same elsewhere seems to amount to little more than a half-baked ban on the sale of alcohol in a few places, a lot of pleading in the media, and a six-hour curfew in the dead of night long after the Songkan revellers will have collapsed to the ground drunk. I hope I'm wrong here, but I have a feeling the numbers are going to start shooting up again in late-April and May. Why is the government risking throwing away everything that has been achieved so far, and indeed potentially making matters far worse, are they really so incapable of controlling their own people? 7 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dinsdale Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 Relects testing. I would really like to know the criteria. Downward trend yes, but why? It is now a 'fact' that China has no new infections other than the disease riddled foreigners. This of course is rediculous in a population of a billion+. When someone can show me the criteria for covid-19 stats in Thailand and how this is collated I'll have more faith in these numbers. Testing in countries with high testing in the population is showing a near 50% of those tested being asymtomatic. Are asympomatic people here included in the stats. If not this is just one example of how the numbers do not represent reality. 13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enzian Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 I heard a lot of stories last night about how people are being kept in the provinces they were in when it really started sometime around the end of March. Earthmovers used to pile dirt on the lanes at highway checkpoints. People unable to even leave their villages. So I would argue that measures are being taken. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Solidpoo Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 BS figures. I dont believe it one bit. Especially with countries with discipline people and much better healthcare like Japan and Singapore are struggling with 100 over cases per day 6 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 Whether or not the figures are to be believed, the lockdown measures in Thailand are to be applauded and the only way to contain the virus. Would like to see more testing though. 9 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eibot Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 Figures are fairly meaningless. No high influx in the hospitals, or increased deaths/funerals. Like we have been saying for weeks, the climate has a positive influence on the virus. My bet is that we're opening up.again after 30/04. We have to open up since the government is seemingly avoiding helping people out with their 5k per month. The biggest risk will be opening up for tourists. They should avoid this, but economic wise they can't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that if villages were being locked off by bulldozing the roads in front of them here like they did in China, then it would be all over the news or by viral means on social media....sorry if I was not clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
