Of the new infections, 30 were among migrant workers and 16 were imported cases, Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the country's COVID-19 task force, told a briefing.

 

Thailand has a total of 6,020 confirmed cases and 60 deaths.

Who'd have thought a shrimp market could be so significant. 

It's the migrants workplace & living quarters that are significant. Similar to what happened in Singapore before.

True, but judging by the cases popping up all over Thailand, it seems like every man and his dog goes to buy a bit of shrimp there!

Yeah,  course it is. I guess the 6 of 700 (or 1% ish) random tests of the Thai government house staff were migrants. That rolled out nationwide could mean over 600,000 thai have it ! But , hey , better not to test the public

I heard that they found a case just down the road from Pattaya in Huay Yai, in a market there. What are the odds that the infected person is a seafood vendor?

in 64 different provinces. maybe, to justify a national lockdown, nah, the PM has said there won't be if people stop catching it.

Still sticking to my prediction that it will be totally out of control after New Year with people travelling all over the place.

 

Looking odds on now.

Makes no sense at all without telling us how many tests were taken.  The government are still treating the people as fools while the coverup continues unabated.

You are rambling again, the 6 in government house where false positives.

Up from 81 to 110, with no locations of the positive tests other than those in quarantine.  However, if the 6 Government employee's who were tested, first found positive and then negative, how are we to believe there are not more in the half of the employees they will now not test on Monday, which I believe is more than likely going to be scrapped.  Smells like BS and rotting fish here in BKK. As a quote from a movie stated "Show me the Money" well Show us the locations of infections and stop saying it has all come from Samut Sakhon, and the Burmese workers.

Right.
And who would have thought that a wet market in Wuhan could be so significant .......... and deadly?

So the BP is now saying there are another 42 cases in addition to the 110. 

27 of them in Rayong linked to an illegal gambling den. Can't blame that on the Burmese... Lols. ????

Who I wonder was the main players in the gambling Den, how many policemen and higher ups will be named. I wonder how many of those positive work for the police or the Government.  Sigh, its a never ending battle of corruption and stupidity. Failing to look at what the outcomes might be before involving oneself.

Maybe in a month, going from 100 per day the new normal may be around 3-500 per day.  

Myanmar lives matter.

I'm not sure if it was covered in the links you provided (can't read Thai) but I'm curious about the 27 from the Rayong gambling den.  Has there been any mention about how they were identified?  Contact tracing?  Or were they symptomatic and sought medical attention? (Thanks)
