I guess the government will interpret the drop of over 200 in positive cases as having control over the virus! Meaningless figures without the number of tests conducted!

A decrease in numbers, they must have managed to stem the tide or reckless foolhardy testing.

Not 18000 a day yet, as promised. Ok, that was predicted for next week or so.

so 470 from Samut Sakhon last night, that means just +47 cases on top

It's all over.

baby blue ...?

 

You must leave, now take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You better grab it fast ...

Well, strike another match
Yeah, go start new, go start new
'Cause it's all over now, baby blue ...

Total number of CV19 cases since 14Dec2020 is 4,757.... more in the last 3 weeks than there was for most 2020....

 

Where is Anutin now? He declared 3 weeks ago that the situation was under control and there was nothing to worry about... ????

Well written. 

Well written <deleted>. If it was allowed to spread unchecked all this time and even a few percent of cases were serious, the government hospitals would be overwhelmed like they are right now in many more developed places around the world where they have to now triage patients and not even bring some who don't have a pulse to the hospital at all.

Can somebody explain what's going on with the migrant worker numbers? Until two days ago, they didn't seem to be including them in the national totals. Then suddenly 557 cases appeared out of the blue yesterday followed by another 439 today. I'd assumed that the 557 included all the migrant worker cases they hadn't included from the week before, but if that's the case where did the 439 today come from? Or were there zero migrant worker cases for a week and then suddenly over 500 appear from nowhere, followed by over 400? None of this makes any sense.

If they did 18,000 tests per day, they would find thousands of daily infections.

What do you think happens when you shove a bunch of migrants with covid into cramped dormitories and buildings surrounded by barbed wire that have tons of people who might not be infected yet and then a week later decide to test them?

Anutin ' <deleted>, they have just closed all the Golf Courses in Rayong "

This 2nd wave outbreak is just a result of Government employeeson the borders being corrupt & greedy.

Am I allowed to say that ?

We already know what happens under these conditions based on what happened in Singapore - around 50% of them will become 'ill' - some of them will notice that they're ill, a large chunk of them will not even notice.

 

The Singapore migrant workers live in luxury compared to the migrant workers here.

Covid just arrived at the Mooban I live in.  2 sois down from us.  A family had some friends visiting from Kanchanaburi that were infected.  No one even told anyone around here about it.  A freind of ours called when she heard about it.

Clearly not serious....... as i have stated a thousand times before, Thailands Illusion of Covid containment is based on absolutely minimal testing and even now no information of numbers tested daily and where is forthcoming.

 

I remain dumbfounded  that some otherwise intelligent people choose to congratulate them on this covid management based on a no test no have policy.

To All Moaners and <deleted>

Look further then nose length.

And count your blessings that you were allowed to stay in Thailand during this disastrous time.

I suspect a high percentage of complainers are of US and UK nationality.

Your country is beckoning for you! 

In many ways a one-way ticket
