Come on, tiger. WomAn. Anyways, looks like Bang Tao may be one of the red zones next week.

Thanks Bangtao. Hope all that gathering for a fictitious figure was worth it.

Who is this illustrious 205?

The stats at https://data.go.th/en/dataset/covid-19-daily haven't been updated yet, but records 2932-2938 should all be from Phuket once they do. If not, we know there's problems with the reporting itself.

Only 7 nation wide. These must be from tomorrow?

 

 

[looking on the bright side]

It is under control in Phuket, all cases tracked, very good .

Hope the normal life will come back soon

Yes very strange

 

Is it 4 or zero?

"Phuket reported the highest number of new cases with 4, followed by Bangkok (3) and Samut Prakan (2)"

ERdit = yes very confusing reports.

Phuket probably reports local labs results, the dailies from MoPH are results confirmed by two reference laboratories as per MoPH guidelines.

 

Result being neither are reliable.
