I think you can take that statistic, and throw as far as you can. It´s virtually impossible to find any place online that can confirm that amount. They are not even shown in lists that go down to 25 000 tests.

One thing that I found out when surfing for a control of these numbers, was interesting though. There is always so much talk about foreigners spreading the virus in Thailand. According to WHO, it is under 250 foreigners with confirmed infection out of all cases. On the other hand it also makes up a pretty high percent of the infected.

I'm sure you're a nice guy but your posts are so repetitive and boring.  Sorry and take care.

That's the point, they aren't released, they provide no. cases, no.dead and a few other things but no.tests is a secret it seems unless someone knows? maybe the worldmeters test numbers for Thailand is a best guess

Ok, I do not understand your comment at all. You totally lost me here. I am going to do you a favor. Below you can se a copy of my comment you had off topic problems with.

Now let´s see if you can find any other post I have made that repeats the information I wrote above, or even resembles that one. I am pretty sure you can´t. Above I was discussing That the information in the OP was clearly false and that there is hard to find a place online that states Thailand have been making as much as 25k tests. After that I was mentioning 2 sides to see the problem about blaming farangs for the Covid spread. Never posted much about that as far as I know, but please give it to me. 

There is also another solution. You can try and understand what you read, before you assume something that is totally wrong. I have many times repeated myself, but not in this particular post that you chose.

Test per 1 million population = total tests.

100498 / 1440 = 69.7 million population.

seems to get its numbers from

 

https://covid19.ddc.moph.go.th/

https://covid19.ddc.moph.go.th/en/api

https://covid19.th-stat.com/api/open/timeline

 

on Linux, to get a CSV for Excel (the wget and sed commands should each be all on 1 line):

wget -O file.txt https://covid19.th-stat.com/api/open/timeline
sed -e "s/\[{/[}/" -e "s/\},{/}/g" -e "s/}/{}/g" < file.txt | tr \173 \015 | tr \175 \012 | tr -d \134 | tr \042 \137 | sed -e "s/_Date_://" -e s/_NewConfirmed_:// -e s/_NewRecovered_:// -e s/_NewHospitalized_:// -e s/_NewDeaths_:// -e s/_Confirmed_:// -e s/_Recovered_:// -e s/_Hospitalized_:// -e s/_Deaths_:// | tr \137 \042 > data.csv

 

The link posted by Yinn in response #16 on page 2 starts out in Thai, but has a British flag to change it to English; it only seems to have a picture file with just the current day's numbers, however.

No one will believe anything they say. Next thing is "we found a cure"... or "we have lowest death rate in the world"    oh wait...

From the latest WHO Situation Report

 

HIGHLIGHTS • On the 19th of April 2020, 32 new cases of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were announced by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand, bringing the total number of cases to 2,765. • Of these, more than 65% (1,928) have recovered, about 1.7% (47) have died, and almost 33% (790) are receiving treatment. • No cases were identified in people returning from outside Thailand; likely reflecting restrictions on entry. • A total of 18 of the new cases are close contacts of previously confirmed cases. Five cases either attended crowded places or had occupational exposure to large numbers of people. • To date, 68 of the total 77 provinces have reported cases. Thirty-three provinces have not reported any new cases during the past 14 days.

 

WHO Thailand is in frequent direct contact with the Royal Thai Government through the Ministry of Public Health, sharing information on key developments, guidelines and scientific updates.

That wasn't the question, and the answer is the Ministry of Public Health and WHO Thailand

 

"Anyone know where number of tests stats come from?"

The answer to your question can be seen here.   https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

 

No doubt you will claim pure coincidence that figures for total cases, deaths, recoveries and hospitalisations are the same.
