That may depend what is classed as testing. My wife was suspected as having covid 19 simply because she'd travelled with me. Officials turned up at her workplace unannounced 2 days running and simply checked her temperature. If they are including such things as 'tests' then yes, they will have a high testing rate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Last Thursday, I had an appointment at the large private hospital, the Ram, in Chiang Mai, and my wife had an appointment at the nearby large Government hospital, the SuanDork. Both hospitals were much quieter than normal, and whilst my wife was seeing the doctor, I took a walk around the hospital including Casualty. Nowhere were there any signs of extra activity, and no areas appeared to be cordoned off. Possibly there were less people than usual, because of the fear of catching the virus there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would not be let into any COVID-19 ward, if there was one. The hospitals that do have them are mostly in Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: According to Worldometer Thailand has carried out 286,000 tests. That is different from 286,000 people. A small point, but still the number of people tested is well below 100,000 or less than 1 in 700 people have been tested for their exposure to the virus since January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those, they never been detected? 2. There are only around 10.000 tests per week. (up to 500.00 in Eu....not Uk of course). the more you test the more cases you'll find. So could there be a reason for less tests in Thailand ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that figure includes among others Chula, Mahidol labs where a positive will not result in a confimed case. For that you'll need two positives from two separate reference labs. I once analyzed a leaked MoPH document. There has since been one update in facebook from surapongofficial, but the main gist of it is the same: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like not including BKK, Thailand had about 1,000 deaths by pneumonia in the past week which is about twice the average for the whole country (including BKK) for a typical week. I'm sure none of those deaths were actually Covid 19 as they would have been in the daily reports. Have you a link to that page, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small point, but still the number of people tested is well below 100,000 or less than 1 in 700 people have been tested for their exposure to the virus since January. Not a small point, but an important point. Also, the reported number of total tests is apparently including all tests performed in the country but is two to three times as high as the number of tests which pass the tighter filter to be included in results (tests have to be done at one of the two official reference labs then confirmed positive at the other one). So, put another way: the 286k number includes a lot of tests whose results are not made public. If you consider that only about 55k tests might have passed the tighter filter, then the ratio of tests (whose results were counted) to population would be: 55k/70mil or 0.8% of the population.

Perhaps it is the mass exposure to high octaine somtam that keeps the virus at bay. On a serious note this is great news, I hope this trend keeps up and some sense of normality can return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's the budget year 2020 so there are more months. But, compare the daily average and you'll still see a higher than average number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
