Appearrently there were >28k more deaths this year, excluding BKK, than last year. You would expect a higher death rate from COVID in the densely populated city.  Most of these other deaths are attributed to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia. Someone has been telling some porkies. 

Simple. No testing, therefore nothing to report, all good!!

incubation is on average about 6 days. a 14 day max is the longest time.this being the case we have gone over this many times and theres no local transmission,all cases are people from outside the country .largely workers from middle east where they are held in large dorms.eu/uk cases are dropping fast ,countries with hi nos are now very low IE france italy spain holland germany etc ,uk is falling quickly and the trends lower in USA.asia and ASEAN have the lowest world nos.china too but they cannot possibly be believed and have no credence whatsoever,they are using covid rules in hk to subjugate the pop. as there is no covid there.4 deaths and the last was mnths ago.so theres a similar behaviour pattern .work it out for yourself,the economy is getting hammered its a fragile economy,it relies heavily on tourism and manufacturing so ......why arnt we seeing a further relaxation?the beaches-people need to catch a break from this they wish to get out and relax,still rediculous pedantic behaviour by govt depts,it wont be forgotten.regional travel should be open in july if results and economy are considered.southern europes opening.this is a military govt and the control issue is the major one it is quite obvious,the behaviour of govt is there for all to see from the photos presented and the clearing of Mr watch is another obvious presentation.

I tried it in one breath but failed miserably...........

Panrapa added that even though the country has not found any domestic cases for 13 days, people still have to act responsibly and follow disease prevention and control measures, wear a face mask, keep a distance, wash hands, and avoid going to crowded places.

Come to my local area and teach them to do it, as at the moment you'd think Corvid never happened if you went outside.

That, of course, can be pushed out indefinitely.

In the meantime at the Anutin Seaside Lunch Entourage:

"Can you pass the naam plaa?"
"Just reach over on dip it in the bowl we're all eating out of.  Easy!"

That's because they don't learn basic physics at school, if you reduce the speed of your breath coming out - spread of droplets must reduce.

As it is up and down the 40 km long valley I live in.  And yet - villagers are not keeling over left and right and dying of the "Highly Contagious And Fatal Covid-19". 

Perhaps we'll see if manifest at the top first?  Like with all the ministers and officials at the top - world-wide - who publicly ignore "The Rules?" No mask or social distancing.  No lock downs or restrictions on movement.  Or they already know that it's all malarkey and they can't be bothered following "The Rules" they are demanding the plebs to follow?  There definitely is no fear of Covid-19 at the top.

"But you wait.  Just you wait.  Second Wave!  The Second Wave will get you all.  Muuuhhhhaaaa!  Game Over, Man!"

Yeah - whatever.  I'm much more worried about traffic fatalities and dengue. 
Coronavirus?  SARS-Cov-2? Covid-19?  BOO!

"Aghhhhh!!"

Europe is not in lockdown at all, actually there are less restrictions than in Thailand.

0-14 days initial incubation period=high risk... because symptoms usually manifest within this time frame.

15-28 days period is lower risk if no symptoms are apparent during the high risk days.. and continue to not develop.

After 28 days one would assume no virus exists.

Most people don't get enjoyment by oogling young girls for future brides in bars. Restaurants are operating normally. There is no issue with that. Malls are open. All shops are open. Yes, bride finding venues are closed but I don't care.

Obviously sarcasm is totally lost on you............... however, where did I post that people wanted to ogle young girls looking for their future bride in a bar?

Restaurants are opening normally............really are you sure, perhaps you see dividers between people, some places families having to sit on separate table, not being able to enjoy a wine with your meal whilst having to check in and out with an app as normal?? I certainly do not, going for a meal should be a pleasant experience.

People, myself included go to a bar for relaxation and verbal interaction, I see nothing wrong with that, there are a lot of bars that cater for this, it may come as a shock, but they are not all bride finding venues, they do provide gainful employment for many, not just in the bars themselves, alcohol wholesalers, breweries, manufacturers of bottles, cans, cardboard boxes, the list is long, not to mention the loss of duties for the government.

All work and no play is not good for anybody, I initially understood and supported some of the restrictions, now that Thailand appears to be about as free from Covid as can be reasonably expected, it is time to open up again.

The general public will adhere to social rules and restrictions if they make sense, none of this is making sense now, out and about in pattaya and it is obvious people are fed up with this especially at night  

 

Ridiculous really. 

 

Being 'fed up" means your're immune! Sure right, if you say so.

[Pedrogaz]

But what happens when they let tourists in without quarantine. I haven't seen data, but I doubt that most tourists come for so long that 2 weeks in quarantine is not a problem to them. When and how are they going to take that risk?

Given the negative attitude to foreigners espoused by folk like Anutin who basically blamed coronavirus on farangs, it is difficult for me to see how a person with the usual two or three week vacation can come here.

I saw the data today in a newspaper I cannot name which showed that under 5% of total Thai infections were in foreigners or caused by contact with foreigners. Given the large number of Chinese and Indians who now visit, I would imagine (it is not broken out by ethnicity), that under half ie 2.5% were in farangs who came here infected, spread it, or picked it up here.

Noooooooooooo, surely the government is wrong here, they must impose at least 5 years more of the 'new normal' no bars, no alcohol in restaurants, no sitting on the same table as your family, social distancing, no gatherings over 1, in fact, to show the government is in control, it is essential that the normal population must have no enjoyment whatsoever............ 

You talking about Saudi Arabia here?

This will be remembered as the biggest overreaction and madness in modern history.

Today 7 new cases in quarantine ALL asymptomatic, what a deadly virus lol

I don't see there's such a thing as free from Covid-19, perhaps for a short moment in time, that's all. Thailand has flattened the curve so there is ample hospital capacity to treat people who develop Covid-19. So now, open up everything. It makes no difference if you do it today, tomorrow or next week. Covid-19 is still here and people will get sick with it. But people do have awareness now, to help prevent it's spread while we wait for a vaccine.

Thailand has had 13 days without any Covid-19 case and can consider itself safe if the trend continues for another 14 days, Dr Panprapa Yongtrakul, deputy spokeswoman of the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said on Sunday (June 7)

Although the number of new cases (reported) is very low, according to the figures on Worldometers.info there have not been 13 days without any new cases. On the very day that this woman was talking Thailand reported 7 new cases.

...and those 7 cases, like all the others during the past 13 days, are safely sequestered away from the rest of us in government quarantine. That point has been made loud and clear.

Morons.

 

What happens when they get a few imported cases. Because that is going to happen.

 

Are they going to go into lockdown and curfew for a month every time that happens?
