The release of simple additional information would bring transparency and clarity to their covid 19 management methods which seem so miraculously effective.

 

3 positive from how many of the 70 million population tested yesterday and which provinces were they tested in?

 

 

an indication as to where they have been / likely source would be worth advising / reporting, but TIT - keep everyone guessing.

farang want too much information .... 

You would think they'd learn from Vietnam. No deaths 300 cases NO general lock-down.

And with the usual 4-5x multiplier, that'd be 15?

They'd all been in contact with a known infected person and so were already under quarantine, nothing to worry about.

Yes indeed, very similar to Cambodia and Laos!!

Why is Thailand in such a severe lockdown when they have had only 56 deaths and 3,000 odd cases overall? Seems a massive overeaction when compared with deaths in UK at near 35,000

Because they want to salvage the tourism business.  Without it there would be no hope whatsoever.  

People are following the WHO's recommendations.

Enter the inforwars people.

Where did you see this part?  I was concerned as Nonthaburi is basically Bangkok
