Thailand Has Excellent COVID-19 Screening System

 

 

NONTHABURI, Aug 28 (TNA) — Thailand has an excellent system to screen arrivals for the coronavirus disease 2019 and people can be helpful by informing officials of illegal migrants, Deputy Prime Minister/Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said.

 

Mr Anutin said the screening system included COVID-19 tests before travelers board their planes and after they land. Besides, arrivals must be quarantined for 14 days, during which time they will be repeatedly tested for the disease.

"Those having traces of the dead disease are subject to an efficient disease control system and officials reach people in close contact with them to contain the disease."

 

What is the "dead disease"?

one of the things i really like about this fool, similar to the PM and watch deputy PM, whenever they open their mouths publicly there wont be one iota of valuable content resulting

[DrTuner]

It's nowhere near efficient simply because the PCR test is not that accurate. That's why you are doing the 14 day quarantine. But hey keep on blowing hot air.

"Thailand Has Excellent COVID-19 Screening System"...

...as excellent as its healths minister 

 

The fish stinks from its head.

So, Thailand's screening program is basically tourists screening themselves and testing and seeing doctors before coming to Thailand ? And he is praising Thailand for it ? Bit like taking the credit for a great Thailand tourist travel system when someone travels from Manchester to London Heathrow to get a plane

The ones who test positive but are actually non-infectious, most likely asymptomatic immune

How can they tell if they're illegal immigrants - is it tattooed on the back of their neck?

This guy epitomises for me many of the things that are currently wrong with this country.

" the disease is dead " 

 

" No it isn't , not all of it , some are just sleeping " 

 

Dead diseases that might not to fully dead or should that be dead diseases who are still alive .. they could rerun the Monty P dead parrot sketch on this ..

Here we go again the same rubbish again

[SteveK]

Yinn wake up. If you think that Thailand has used its superior intellect, organisational abilities, openness and sheer brainpower to "control" this virus then you need to go back to school. They either aren't testing, aren't reporting, or are *severely* suppressing the numbers. Probably all of the above. I don't believe any of the Thai numbers.

 

Dishonesty is a way of life here. 

 

Frankly it's amazing that western countries believe the stupid figures put out by Thailand about coronavirus.

The WHO, foreign governments, and the international news media does...but I guess you have access to resources and sources that they don't so know the true numbers. Care to share them with us?

So you believe that Thailand has had 58 deaths vs 30k France, 178k USA, 41k UK etc?

 

You must be braindead.  They simply are not testing.

If you could harness the amount of hot air generated by these fools and convert it to energy, you would have sufficient to power all of Thailand with surplus for sale elsewhere.

I think the Thai numbers must be substantially correct.  If the hospitals were clogged with Covid patients we would know.  No one I know in Thailand knows anyone who has been infected with Covid, much less anyone who died of it.  We also know now that wearing masks gives a substantial benefit in restricting the spread of the virus and the Thais have been wearing masks religiously since the outbreak.

 

For some of the expats here their most deeply held conviction is of the utter inferiority of everything Thai, especially compared to the West.  In fact, the public health system in Thailand is quite good.  Do you think the S. Koreans, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, New Zealanders, Greeks and others are all lying?

Probably more than 58 deaths and 3500 or so cases...but even if you doubled or trebbled the numbers it would still be among the lowest in the world. There isn't much testing, but if virus numbers were anywhere near those of the countries you mention, hospitals and morgues would be overrun and there's no way the government could hide this in our social media era. The fact we don't see this supports the contention that the presence of the virus is very low to non-existant in Thailand.

More than 95% of travelers arriving from overseas are Thais, who do not require Covid tests before flying - they only need a meaningless "fit to fly" certificate, which many doctors will give without an in-person examination.

Correct. 

Can not trust the foreign doctor. When they return we test, two time, quarantine 14 days. Successful way. Responsible.

There are 1318 hospitals in Thailand. 

 

Thailands death rate is 7.068 per 1000 of population. Approx 500,000 people die each year anyway. 

IF there were 20,000 or even 50,000 additional deaths, would it be noticed when decided amongst all the hospitals ???

 

Of course, not everyone dies - for arguments sake, say 50% of people die in a hospital. Thats 250,000 across 1600 hospitals: 

 

Would an extra 3 deaths per month be noticeable ????

 

 

Looking at the numbers vs the argument that if there were more covid-19 it would be noticeable, I don’t think it would. The vast majority of cases are asymptomatic anyway and thus not noticeable if there is little testing and spread amongst the hospitals an additional handful of deaths per month is also not really notable. 

 

Of course there are flaws in the above logic with regards to population clusters etc, however the point is made to highlight the relatively small numbers and the fact that it would be easy not to notice higher numbers.
