Popular Post sandrew33 Posted April 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2020 Thailand is still testing at a very low % per capita. Interesting that 7 of the cases were in an area where testing was increased but really that increase was still only in line with basic levels of testing in more developed countries. Until testing ramps up everyone is just guessing 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spermwhale Posted April 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2020 "Seven other new cases were reported from the southern province of Yala, where authorities are aggressively testing the population because of high infection rates there, said Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the government’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration." High infection rates? If there were high infection rates, why haven't they been tallied in the daily numbers? I have to say there is definitely some B.S. and chicanery going on. They keep talking about the high numbers of cases but then they report few cases. Just like with the treatment situation in BKK. They report few cases and then say the hospital system is having a hard time keeping. Anyone else smell something fishy? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be thousands of full-time delivery drivers, brewery workers and independent village shops who would be pretty much out of work for the foreseeable future. To extend the ban based on purely on 42 migrant workers being infected who were already in quarantine would be a huge, and incredibly unpopular call. I agree, but an extension of the ban would be equally stupid to the one currently in place 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 A voice of reason within the wilderness of panic and fear of the zombie apocalypse. What these doctors are saying makes total sense. There is an astonishing amount of bad information out there, and alot of medical personnel who do not know what they are working with, are unwilling to break normal influenza protocol (therefore killing alot of people, inadvertently) and listening to Fauci, the CDC, the FDA, and the WHO way too much, and not thinking outside the box, and dancing on their feet. As this guy says, theory and reality are not always the same. The progressive doctors, who are willing to improvise, are having far greater success, than the others. https://www.facebook.com/KGET17News/videos/537566680274166/ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2043 tests/1 mill population. Sadly they will not increase testing as the government pleads poverty yet continues to find funds somehow for still ongoing construction of BTS, MRT and other massive infrastructure problem.

They are men with open minds, alot of experience in the field (unlike guys like Fauci, who have not seen a patient in well over 20 years) and what they are saying makes total sense. Open your mind up to a narrative that is beyond the "official" one. Do you not even consider the possibility that this is not what it seems to be? This is one of the best interviews I have seen to date, and the mindless questions the reporters are asking, shows how much bad information there is out there, and just how little people know about this thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrTuner Posted April 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2020 This means they are operating near full capacity of their 2k tests/day, if the positive test percentages are to believed: If they re-tighten the PUI criteria, they might squeeze over 100 confirmed in per day. If you pump up the testing, more cases will show up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phkauf Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Perfect timing of a spike in cases so the Government can keep their restrictions on speech, freedom, and movement in place. The Wuhan Virus is a very convenient way for them to impose Section 44 like rules on the country. A recent report from Amnesty International was very critical of the Thai government's actions during the crisis. In the end the Government will have total control over a dead economy - great job guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models used I see as being flawed. Without true and accurate data it is a hypothesis. Further information needs to be obtained. It however is a good interview but stating that doctors are being forced to list it as a covid death has to be taken in context with other medical problems the patients had. Without Covid-19 was there a chance they would have not died but because of Covid-19 it is what was the final straw and is what killed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellforce Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 If the thai population is allready immunized, that would be easy to reopen the borders and only blame foreigners. A nice way to sale the destination as a "free covid" country and force travellers to do testings. If that's a way to come back quickly as before, that's fine for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrTuner Posted April 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2020 There is one thing that's often overlooked. Even if the average complication rate is about the same as, say, a flu: this one is currently more virulent so you're more likely to get it. It's because there are more infected per square kilometer at the same time. Example: The probability of getting complications: 1/200, for both flu and covid, a ballpark figure. The probability of getting the flu: 1/100 (it's just a guess) The probablity of getting covid: 1/10 (yet another guess) Total personal risk of getting complications at current time from the fictional example: 1/20000 for flu, 1/2000 for covid. That's because these is no herd immunity and it's currently spreading like wildfire. Once herd immunity or vaccine kicks in, the probability will drop, because it'll be easier to avoid getting infected. Flu still kills a lot of people annually, so stay frosty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is not according to Bill Gates plan ! ... it's about VACCINEs [a lot of them !!!] That's the Plan of Bill Gates and all institutions he paid off [WHO, most "experts", Johns Hopkins University, RKI ... and most Governments !] Listen to him.

Only 2043 tests/1 mill population. That ratio of tests/1 million of population is only accurate is you accept that total tests number of 142.5k. Remember that that number is total tests we know were performed but not total tests whose results were reported and counted. That number is around 45k so far (tests that have been confirmed by the two official reference labs in Thailand). The other 97.5k tests performed have not had their results revealed or counted. So, 45,000/70,000,000 would be 643 tests per million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I note that on CNN and BBC World there are an increasing number of experts commenting that heat and humidity does have an impact on virus spread in that heat and ultra-violet degrade droplets both in the air and particularly once they have landed on a surface. Maybe our climate here is indeed at least one part of the explanation for the exceptionally low death rates in Thailand (which are probably even lower - possibly very significantly lower - than the headline rates, as it is pretty clear that more extensive testing would reveal far more cases). The appearance of supporters of the heat and humidity factor seem to be in stark contrast to the expert opinion early on, when the balance of scientific opinion seemed to be very sceptical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
