If "He was found positive in alternative state quarantine in Bangkok on September 6th", why the hell is he listed as a Stat today the 8th.  Sometimes I just scratch my head just like I do my balls because things just make me itch and want to scream "IDIOTS"

I think that you will find that the test sample was taken on the 6th and the result on the 7th. All the results from the 7th are reported on the 8th.

That doesn't seem idiotic to me at all.

Then it should say tested on the 6th and found positive on the 7th with the positive report being processed for reporting on the 8th.  He was not known to be positive on the 6th, just tested. I know semantics, but it creates a lag in the reporting and documentation factually.

It's a news release in Thailand. Just be happy you achieved a basic understanding of what was meant. The writer probably didn't
