Jingthing Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) So the question remains. How close are the official numbers to the actual reality considering the limited testing here? Impossible to know but it does seem apparent that Thailand is definitely doing well compared to many other countries. It seems like here is a good place to include this subjective video by a now quite famous and highly informative UK doctor Campbell. The based in Thailand contact here is of the opinion that the Thai official numbers are probably close to accurate although he isn't in a position to prove that. BTW regardless of what you think about this particular video I highly recommend following Dr. Campbell to help keep current on all COVID-19 issues.

I refuse to watch that channel full of scaremongerer sheeple. It's blatantly obvious majority of doctors keep exagerating things to keep their audience interested in their daily reports. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 At some point as this continues it seems the numbers are believable. Because, the older population here is not the healthiest. So, you would think out of a population over 60 million someone would have transmitted it to a parent or grandparent. I am sure some got sick and just stayed home and gutted it out. Some are saying Thailand got lucky. Maybe, but the US for an example is an embarrassment. Packs of people now walking around Vegas casinos no masks. Spiking cases they are already trying to call this a second wave when the first one never left. Talk about all about the money. Shameful selfish stupidity.

Thailand Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I still find the figures hard to believe. But, we do no know anybody who has been diagnosed with it, our friends do not know anybody who has been diagnosed with it etc. But the relevant word is "diagnosed".

tso310 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 While I agree the infection rate in Thailand seems low so does the amount of actual testing. Not seen any regional numbers for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I'm convinced that the numbers are at least relatively low here. As low as the official numbers seems impossible. Also, I'm pretty sure that there were lots of mislabeled deaths in the early months. My concern is that the public will take the official numbers too literally and slack off too early on mask wearing, etc. Thailand is not an island and sooner or later some tourists are coming back. So until it's under control globally it's not fully over here either. Basically years. They're doing well. Don't blow it!

Yes, it's all about control, this country will never be the same again, the Thai people are just to non confrontational to do anything about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Kids got to school today, looked like straight out of Contagion. Teachers with mask & faceshields and all sorts of social distancing things everywhere, masks obligatory all the time. It'll be just for a week and a half before the term ends, but good to get them back into the rythm. After homeschooling for three months I've acquired newfound respect for teachers and single moms.

DrJack54 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Bit of left field question... Realize it's very small sample space I'm asking about. Have there been many reports of farang testing positive to covid, excluding tourists? Specifically those living throughout Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB1986 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I dont understand what is the point here... No domestic case for 23 days we didnt had domestic case for 28 days as soon as borders opened woth Austria, Croatia, Italy and Hungary cases started to rise not too much but yet...

Yes those figures are rather elusive...... the lack of even a token daily testing across all regional hubs in the kingdom is farcical as is the back slapping of Prayut and daily announcements of no new domestic cases from 70 million population. Just lunacy to believe in the statements and any care for the population from this bunch...... a deputy minister a convicted etc etc and what was the process of coming to power. Of course the Burmese guys are guilty of the island murders not powerful connected family members,,,,,,,,,,,, Their never were any jet ski scams with money going right up the chain Their is no evidence of prostitutes in Pattaya......

Nobody will come if they have to do 14 days quarantine. Edited June 17, 2020 by Anton9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedoc Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Dear Clown (Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul), how can you say no new cases of Wuhan Virus. You will not know the true statistics if you don’t test. It’s easy. No tests, no stats. To$$er. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyPlatt Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I think they have done a good job. You can't hide mobile phone footage of overflowing hospital corridors. Beijing's latest outbreak seems to be very interesting. 95% of confirmed cases are very mild. After 200,000 tests a couple of hundred tested positive. I wonder if this virus is beginning to weaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
