rooster59 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thailand reports 15 new coronavirus cases, no new deaths A family wearing protective face masks walk on a railway line during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Bangkok, Thailand April 25, 2020. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand on Sunday reported 15 new coronavirus cases and no new deaths, bringing the total number of cases since its outbreak in January to 2,922 cases and 51 deaths. Of the new cases, four were linked to previous cases, another four had no known links, while five new patients are arrivals from overseas who have been under state quarantine. Two other new cases were reported from the southern province of Yala, where the 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. Since the outbreak in Thailand, 2,594 patients have recovered and gone home.

Guderian Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 So ignoring the imported cases, that's a total of 10 new home-grown cases of C19, after the bottom-line figure of 11 yesterday. At least the numbers are consistent. It would be interesting to see details of the four with no known links to precious cases. I wonder if any of them are poor Thais or construction workers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high infection rate is relative. In this case high compared to other parts of the country. They have been testing loads in Bangkok and south of Thailand (yala). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtof2 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) All i can say is that figures are surprisingly good for Bangkok... looking at the traffic jam on Thonglor and Ekkamai yesterday... and seeing people sitting in semi-open air restaurants.

I have said before that after all this time I am sure the "official" stats are true or a whistle blower would have come forward. But are these stats like road accidents... only count those who die at the scene / in hospital with confirmed virus and ignore those who die at home or elsewhere due to "respiratory problems"? I for one would not believe this possible of such a caring / honest government. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmyself Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 59 minutes ago, SantiSuk said: Wouldn't change the number of deaths and that's what old bu$$ers like me tend to look at most???? Indeed and/but one can extrapolate a very rough 'zone' of infection rate using number of deaths or to put it another way... more infections lead to more deaths. If the number of deaths is true, and I assume they are, the Thailand should be very proud of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just saw an article in which the WHO made the following statements and is warning that people who have had coronavirus are not necessarily immune by the presence of antibodies from getting the virus again. “There is no evidence yet that people who have had COVID-19 will not get a second infection,” the WHO said in a new scientific brief. In addition to this the WHO warned against governments issuing “immunity passports” to people who have had COVID-19, assuming they are safe to resume normal life and stated that "At this point in the pandemic, there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an 'immunity passport' or 'risk-free certificate," They have also stated that : “People who assume that they are immune to a second infection because they have received a positive test result may ignore public health advice. The use of such certificates may therefore increase the risks of continued transmission," I reviewed the findings they referenced but as this is still an on-going situation they are still reviewing evidence on antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19-infection. They did however state that “most” of the studies done have shown that people who have “recovered from the COVID-19-infection do have antibodies to the virus.” Looking at what the governor of Buriram is doing in issuing a passport stamp, I see this in direct contradiction of what who is saying, albeit that WHO says those who have recovered, and the Buriram issue is for those who have quarantined and are not showing symptoms. But then who know who is asymptomatic and who is not. There needs to be a happy medium found as far as getting people back to work and restarting economies. If they started to test and see, once antibody tests are available here, who has them, it may unfortunately give them more infections than they want to admit. Damned if you do and Damned if you don't situation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
