snoop1130 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A big contradiction in reported COVID infection numbers in Samut Sakhon There is a big discrepancy in the COVID-19 infection figures at a canned seafood exporting company in Samut Sakhon, between those reported by the provincial health office and those from the company’s management. Responding to a report on social media, which claims that more than 900 employees of the Thai Union Group, a major seafood exporter, have been found to be infected with the virus, Dr.Naretrith Khatthaseema, the provincial health chief, said today that active tests, conducted by health officials of employees of the company, have confirmed that more than 900 are infected. He said that the provincial health office has already reported to the Bangkok-based CCSA twice, the infection figures of 541 and 470, adding that the figures came from tests conducted in all the factories affiliated with the company.

Susco Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 [quote] If more than 10% of the employees in one factory are found to be infected, he said the officials test all the employees there, adding that the screening tests have, so far, covered 20 such factories. Thai Union Group CEO, Thirapong Chansiri said, however, that, as of Tuesday, 23,630 of the group’s 27,552 employees, or 85%percent, have been given PCR tests and only 69 of them, or 0.29%, tested positive.[/quote] So if only 0.29% tested positive, then why 85% has been tested?

Cake Monster Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It seems that big Business trumps the Government in this Country. The Company reports only 69 Infected people, and continues to run its plants at maximum output, whilst the CCSA have been made aware of over 900 Infections on two occasions. ALL these Plants should be closed immediately, and a full Inquiry launched, not just into the Operations of these Factories by this Company, but also into the number of Illegal Workers they are using in the Plants. Although, I am sure there will be none found. After this fiasco, the US and EU will be looking to ban their Products for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you know if more than 10% of employees are infected unless you test them all in the first place ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be because they don't have a crystal ball to predict how many percent will be tested positive without testing 85% of all employees.

Why would the US and EU who collectively OWN the worlds worst Covid response and statistics want to ban anything? This all sounds very much like a fervent wish on your part.

mtls2005 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Too many individual national and provincial "authorities" reporting different numbers, throughout a single day, has exactly one result: people don't believe any numbers. Stick to the daily CCSA briefing as the only source of figures. Same-same for the MorChana app. Stick with one freakin' message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
