Well yeah, that are all countries with four to 5 times the population of Thailand, hence they have more infections and fatalities, but at least they don't lie about the numbers

Good point. If one were to assume that the yet-to-be-explained excess deaths between May 2019 and April 2020 as reported by the Thai DOPH were mostly Covid 19-related, then the deaths per million of population would actually be better in both the U.S. and Brazil. 

I agree Prayut. Let's stop the media analysing carefully all of the data released by the government and then coming up with difficult searching questions and insisting on answers that will inform the public.

 

Errr ... hang on a minute...

In a press conference on Wednesday (July 15), Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told reporters to make their reports on new Covid-19 cases less scary.

WHY????? Your government started all this scaremongering but now it's not working in your favor it's suddenly wrong ...........LOL

He said the latest case in Rayong province was the government’s fault and anybody affected by it will be provided with help.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall, I bet someone's getting a good 6-lace holes as we speak!

Aaaaaaw...is your little fairytale of a squeeky clean record, with no local infections for almost 2 months crumbling?

Can't put the blame on unwashed farang?

Poooor PM!

“..........let’s play this thing down. By the way did I tell you the Egyptian incident felt like being hit by a Plane”

 

The press world wide are reporting covid infections like football scores. However, the infections don't matter, all that matters is the death rate with a so called pandemic, which is actually falling. They also generally leave off the age of those dying to make it look worse. This entire debacle has been fueled by the media, the Thai PM is correct, its all fear porn for ratings.

It has been reported that the premier is planning to visit Rayong in the near future.

Did Prayut give himself a promotion? 

I thought he was prime Minister. 

You mean LIE,  They ALL do anyways!

Sounds like a lot of really really sexually frustrated men in here missing the bar girls LOL

 

Maintain the BS FACE at all costs! ????

And all of this for a single aymptomatic case, they better close their country down forever with this scared sheep attitude.

Better to go the USA route they only had 65,370 new cases today-probably undercounted, but not too bad 

 So these positive people were Thai?

Why always bring up USA, there are plenty of countries in Europe who got it bad at the beginning but now having a less hysterical approach without the paranoia and scaremongering.

Having a covid free country is not possible in the long term, they will realize it once the economy will be totally destroyed.

What is your solution?

Test, isolate and go on with our lives.

Clowing down schools because there is a single asymptomatic case detected 10 km away is totally overreacting.

What's the point of all the daily briefing of the imported cases, how is it relevant if someone has a virus but not even showing any sympthoms.

Of all the new "imported cases" not even one has died, is it really necessary all this hype over this?

Also, all those reports "20 returnees rushed to hospital with fever" without any follow up are really bad journalism.

Sure, but they don’t test here.  It looks like there are more cases in Thailand anyway-who were these positive people?

If they were Thai people, maybe they got it after the plane was out of Thai airspace? Local transmission does not happen inside Thailand.

When the PM asked what scares people into not leaving home, the answer he got was “the press”, and in response to that he told reporters: “You should ease off on spreading news about recent cases. Tell people to shop as usual as the situation is not severe.”

 

Moreover, he said, Thailand had suffered the Covid-19 crisis before and effectively brought it to an end.

Finally he understands that scaremongering is something bad - at least as long as it does not work in his favor.

 

 

with this mentality and reaction they are never going to open their borders to foreigners.

I have no doubt Thai people have immunity to respiratory things because jan 2-7 2020 I had the most terrible bout of fever and coughing  a man wants to get.  somehow GF didn't get it.  No way did  Thailand have zero infected chinese out of the Jan/feb tourists.  Why did government tell provincial health officials to stop releasing  any info before sending  to BKK.  Now trump has done the same thing.  all case info now  goes to White House before CDC.  f me.  

I dont think the whinners here  are missing the gals because surely there is take out or their hand.  I can only guess its drinking alone that is killing these alcoholics. 

There are lasting  effects with this covid that we dont fully understand.   A local man here in utah still doesn't have his taste or smell back.  how would that be the rest of your life?

Damaged liver,  or heart?  scared lungs? Many of you whiners have been taking health risks for years in Thailand so this is no big deal.   

I'm glad Thailand appears to be doing well.  but USA surely isnt.

yes there are many other ways to die.  Yes we need to work on reducing those.
