Number of new COVID-19 cases in Thailand fall for fifth consecutive day

[Confuscious]

As long as every country can release Data about CoV-19 as they please, I don't believe a S..T about these numbers.
Specially in Thailand where most deaths will go classified as "committed suicide by putting a plastic bag over his head, tied his hands behind his back and shot himself in the head".

Is there an uptick in some types of deaths?

 

I believe of all the deaths so far 100% of them have been permanent.

On Monday, health officials announced 28 new cases, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 2,579.

660,000 COVID-19 “high-risk” people under watch of health volunteers, as reported in another post earlier by the health ministry.

These don't seem to make it to the official list.

Lets say Thailand gets down to zero cases in a few weeks with everyone currently infected either recovered or dead, in other words all cases resolved on way or the other.

 

What then? It will still be everywhere else in the world.

 

Restrictions inside Thailand could be relaxed but they won't be able to open up the airports will they?

Thanks Thailand, for doing your best to take care of us.

Thailand is not interested in western tourists and expats, they are waiting for a good excuse to get the Chinese back to up certain peoples income stream.

Good breakdown

Questions to ask among others are: 

 

How many are turned away from hospital doors?

You have to rely on hearsay data now, especially since there's the "fake news" gag order in place. What a contrast to the open flow of information in some countries like Finland, where the response has been impressive and transparent. The form of government truly makes a difference.

Is there any public data on deaths in Thailand per month, even a valid number that just includes deaths of all types? That exists in some places thus giving the ability to at least see if last month and the month before the number is relatively similar or different from normal. Anyone know of such data?

If we look at the current trend, we'll be at zero in a few days. Good question, though.

Well if it was on Facebook it must be true. Obviously the USA is not using this miracle treatment with its  22,000 deaths and rising. 

I don't think anyone thinks it's a miracle treatment, those bloater with diabetes and other conditions will struggle with or without

[Why Me]

The problem with the US is there was a pandemic there before the current one arrived, that being Obesity, Diabetes from obesity and Stress from lack of job and health security. Call it ODS.

 

Anyone suffering from ODS is a sitting duck for C-19. Americans (including moi) don't want to admit it but of all the sh*thole countries on the planet we're the richest most prosperous.

You say nonsense but you have no idea really. An extensive post on facebook earlier from a patient in Thailand who recovered listing everything that happened and medication and hydroxychloriquin was listed, unless you were there you don't know. Get on facebook and go find it

Yep, right you are. I am impressed by a clinical evaluation based on a cohort of one. And published on Facebook.

Seriously your "patient" could have said that he took doggy doos and gotten better. Don't forget that 98% of patients WILL get better. BTW this is exactly why that mad french doctor's publication gets dismissed by his peers.

In that order, I guess...also, kindly state the cause of death as it not clear whether it is by suffocation or sel inflicted wound, thanks for the update

[wasabi]

Even if in reality the Covid numbers are 10 times higher than what's being reported relatively speaking those are excellent numbers. If that is true they should reopen businesses within Thailand around the end of this month. I personally would still be hyper-vigilant about mask wearing and hand cleaning but even if others are not and infection starts again hopefully we are through the worst and herd immunity can be completed without overwhelming hospitals. If the virus has become manageable most Thai's would rather risk getting infected than going broke and starving. The main issue as others have stated is the different rates of curve flattening worldwide. It still could be a while before they can let foreign visitors come to Thailand unless there is a vaccine or rapid test available.

It could possibly even be TAT themselves.

Wuhan as just opened up again, and maybe they want the Hoards back PDQ

Everything seems to be running on a parallel path, or am I seeing this completely wrong.

I really hope that I am, or the biggest Cluster @@#@ in History will be kicked off.

 

 

2 weeks should see the danger fully passed.

 

Timed just nicely for the PM to announce, after the Tuesday meeting, that the much improved situation no longer necessitates the visa amnesty (that so many were convinced must be rolled over into June).

 

They really didn't like being "bounced" into that one.

 

(At the rate they're "planing" the numbers off, I wouldn't be surprised to see the announcement next week)

Over the past four previous days, Thailand reported 54 new cases on Thursday, 50 on Friday, 45 on Saturday, 33 on Sunday and 28 today (Monday).

it would be easier to believe/compare if they posted the number of people tested for the same 4 day period

[noone223]

yeah, lets believe the same country that threatened to block facebook for publishing certain photos they didn't want the world to see.

Thailand the only country in the world that puts the cost of tests before the lives of its citizens:

 

Speaking at today’s news conference, he defended the country’s relatively low number of tests, saying that it is not economically feasible to conduct mass screening tests.

“We conducted fewer tests, so we can be economical,” Taweesin said.

[Muzzique]

The Thai government do not have the financial resources or test/health care capability to control the virus. Its better to let the virus plow through the country and then lie about the stats to keep the masses happy.

 

If they don't people will starve and the economy will be ruined. India will do the same as will the African states and other developing countries.

 

In these cases  people live from hand to mouth. More will die from starvation as a result of a hard lockdown than from the virus.

 

Lying about the stats, in Thailand's case, is the lesser of the 2 evils. We all know these figures are BS but the alternative is far worse.

For all of those "It's only the Flu" folks......

Well it's just a flu and this is a bad year for the flu.This year the flu might be 2-3 times worse than an average year.If it looks,smells and tastes like a flu and has the same symptoms and qualities as a flu and is a corona virus which are included in normal flu yearly counts what would you call it? I forgot to add that the average deaths from the flu in Thailand is about 2700.

It is the case fatality rate (Deaths/Recovered patients) that is the lead number. of almost 4%, which is more in line with WHO estimates of the overall fatality death rate, However, worldwide as you say that figure is just over 20%. BIG difference.

 

Maybe they're catching people earlier here, where the recovery rate is much better. Or maybe better drugs are the reason. One can only hope.

 

20%??? 1.8m cases 114k deaths globally. thats around 6%
