One new case of Covid-19 was confirmed over a 24-hour period, the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) reported on Saturday (June 20).

 

 

The new patient is a returnee from Bahrain in state quarantine.

 

Thailand has now reached 26 days without a domestic case, the CCSA Facebook page said.

 

Total cases in Thailand since the outbreak are 3,147 -- 3,018 patients have recovered and been discharged, 71 patients are undergoing treatments in hospitals, while 58 have died.

Yes.

As long as they're not dealing with someone with 'memory loss': "Do you know who I am?" - thinking it doesn't apply to them.

 

They seem to have overcome the issue with returnees running away into the night from the quarantine checks at the airport.

Surely now is the time to get the rest of the working population back into their employment ?

Or are you going to use the threat of a second "trickle" to keep them unemployed and in poverty ?

How many people not recently returned and in quarantine have been tested in the past four weeks?

That is the daily question I ask myself.  The one patient that tested positive in quarantine appears to have been asymptomatic.  As I suspect they walk amongst us, but who know how many others have been infected by the virus but only have very few symptoms again.  It is after all allergy season as well as the flu season now.  Stay safe.

Something aint right people. People leaving thailand are testing positive abroad so with little to no testing on the domestic population who knows what the actual numbers are. Frankly i want the borders to open. I got things to do but lock it down if you must but lets extend the amnesty till 2021, cheers..????

If you are so concerned have you gotten tested??

You should do that before you go back to the US as there is no

accountability there and reduced mask wearing and precautions are limited so please be responsible you may infect someone.

Have any more details or a link regarding people leaving Thailand being positive?

I haven't heard about it before.

Your response has nothing to do with my question about how many people here are being tested. I'm not expressing concern about my health status but the data to explain implementation of the government's public health policy.

Why would you need to do that? If people have symptoms severe enough they will go to a hospital, right. Then it will be registered as a domestic case. Do you see all people with the yearly flu every year getting tested? Same here too. No need.

[loong]

This is hardly breaking news!

Yesterday TV reported the figures that were announced on Friday and today they have reported yesterday's announcement.

Today 1 new case was reported, a 6 year old boy in quarantine in Chonburi after returning from South Africa with his Mother. The Mother tested negative.

So now 27 days without a domestic transmission.

I hate to agree with you but I would also be interested to see these figures. 

Or failing that the source for the information.

I don't understand why some members are so hung up on the lack of testing. Let's assume there are hundreds of thousands of untested positive (currently positive let's say) Covid cases out there in the population.

 

They are not developing symptoms that are persuading them to go for treatment in hospital (where they would be tested if the symptoms are severe). They are not dying in great numbers* - unless you believe the fanciful conspiracy theory that the medical world is covering it up with no whistle-blowers.

 

So they seem to be all wandering around out there probably asymptomatic and maybe passing on the virus maybe asymptomatically.

 

That's a good thing isn't it? Contributes to future herd immunity. I can't see the point of random testing outside of vulnerable populations in the current circumstances. Save the money for contact tracing and set up a mass testing system in case the little bu$$er hits back again.

 

I dislike dictatocracies as much as anyone, but performance over Covid is not the fight to pick. Pandemics do not respond well to democracy it seems.

 

 

* Yeah - maybe a few are escaping the net by dying quietly or being diagnosed as non-Covid, but surely you would expect to see a major uptick in (what has in reality been over the last few weeks a near static) death rate by now if a dangerous form of the virus was still stalking the nation

Would these two articles be in the "fanciful conspiracy" category or raise questions about a major uptick?

They are suggesting that deaths in Thailand have been 2-4% higher than normal for the past 6-8 months.

They're just jealous.

 

The UK and the US have nothing at all to shout about.

Thanks for the links.

The BBC link is fine. The NY Times however appears to require a paid subscription to read it.

Does that mean you think the NYT and BBC were motivated by jealousy to do those studies and publish them and they are not seemingly methodolically sound or they were motivated by jealousy and are seemingly methodologically sound?

2-4% higher than normal is very small in comparison with the higher than normal recorded for many other major nations. That big bump you see in the first graph you come across is very very shallow when you see the Thai graph.

 

I acknowledged there would be some unrecorded deaths but it seemingly remains the case that there has been no published evidence that hospitals have for the last few weeks been receiving any cases that are subsequently found to be Covid positive. How is that happening - do you believe that all the bad cases and deaths are somehow miraculously avoiding going down the hospital route or do you believe that the medical profession is somehow secreting them away down the non-hospital route in conspiracy with the government?

 

The 2-4% overrun of total deaths is small enough to be explained by all those people that have been avoiding hospitals with other complaints. When I first raised this as a possibility someone responded that he/she thought this had been adjusted for in the study. I skimmed through the study but saw no reference to this adjustment having been made. I'm not sure how such an adjustment could be calculated either. May be wrong - was just a skim read.

Lets have the Thai government test everyone in Thailand to put that Theory of yours to the test. ????

 

Trump - we should slow down our testing so we can look good also.

 

How many per million tests has Thailand done compared to Western & Muslim countries?

 

China?

I don't like to argue but for the common flu you have a vaccination for covid-19 you have not

I am surprised you are still alive

So, you are surprised I am still alive? I take that as you believe the Thai statistics regarding Covid-19 is not correct too. Do you believe UN and WHo as well as many other countries that have praised Thailand is wrong and stupid, because you know better?

The fact is that I am alive because I have been living in one of the most safe countries during the outbreak, that has been handling the situation with the highest efficiency. That´s Thailand! You seem to not be such a happy camper. Are stuck in a country that failed, perhaps?
