Sunday was the fourth day in this month that there were no new daily cases, said Panprapa Yongtrakul, a spokeswoman for the government's coronavirus task force.

 

There are 2,921 patients who have recovered and returned home since the outbreak started.

As I said yesterday now the down wave of the heartbeat, lets see if tomorrow we have the upward wave of the ekg to see if the country is still alive and seeing what's happening.  When we get to a flat line, I am worried the country will be dead and no amount of life support will work.  This government needs to get moving on reviving the patient (Thailand)  Time to start with the PT and get it back on its feet....

Things are getting worse, we must extend all restrictions and curfew as students may be led to believe they can take the streets safely.

[Guderian]

Good news, it makes further easing of the restrictions on our lives more likely at the end of the month.

Still 11 hours left of Sunday so this news article seems to be a bit premature.

You should rush to the hospital for a test maybe you will be the one case.

In case you are unaware I believe the results are those recorded from the previous day.

You are correct, seems the numbers are reported and collated by 5pm local time, "Sunday" would then be 5pm Saturday to 5pm Sunday.

The revival will be a knee-jerk electric jolt, followed by another lockdown, followed by .. because they can't get the test & tracing working. Not for the lack of trying, whenever a Dr from DDC or MoPH is let speak, they do display understanding. But usurpers go .. "too expensive".

 

The very expensive lockdown was supposed to be used to set up that testing and tracing network. What a waste.

Would be interesting to superimpose the days of significant actions, such as lowckdowns, on that chart. Asymco does give some indication that the delay between lockdown and the peak diagnoses (assuming it's a systematic error they've introduced by lack of testing and not a random one) seems to be around a week or so, same as it was in Hubei.

The black line is reduction in mobility as per Apple's data (most people have Android here, but still). Compared to countries doing a lot of testing Thailand's curve is pretty ragged, but that's to be expected because of lack of sampling.

Thanks correction, it was Saturday in the morning they said no cases two hours later they reported a few cases today no cases again/

[Woolsgibb60]

Every country in the world reported when they had the peak and the fall off Thailand have never published the figures when they hit the peak  I find strange every country know the month it hit the peak but thailand have never said or published the figures or month 

[ThailandRyan]

And today the number goes upwards, again up and down, just like a heart beat EKG,  2 new cases......
