Popular Post DLock Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 The 900 were already accounted for in previous numbers - old news. This according to another Bangkok newspaper that cannot be mentioned. So, they will not appear as new cases. Convenient. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand’s Samut Sakhon province has confirmed another 900 new COVID-19 cases, from proactive screening of about 3,800 workers in local factories.

No, they were reported in previous days totals. That figure was the total from one factory taken over a number of days. Spreading misinformation is not helpful. A lot of misinformation was spread in the USA and their figure yesterday was 4,100 people dead, the most ever. UK over 1,000 dead yesterday also.

Thailand will get worse before it gets better, but I doubt they will ever get close to those numbers. Only 67 dead so far for a whole year in Thailand, more than that died before breakfast this morning in the UK who are now battling the highly contagious UK mutant covid strain, and more every hour are dying in the US.

beano2274 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The 900 have not been reported, if you read the topics from Thai Visa the total of migrants in the last few days has not been 900, so where are they? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time it was 30 days without a new infection before things could open. If they use that model, the next 6 months could be toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how they do it? I think it is a big mistake to think that testing is the answer to controlling covid. Not exactly working out for the UK or USA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwaibill Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Testing should be offered to all at cost, or heavily subsidized. The virus does not care what nationality you are. Too expensive and folks who feel "ok" but are non symptomatic spreaders won't get tested until they have infected thousands. The woman from the Myanmar "karaoke" bar is a prime example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmonman Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 In most countries in the world these numbers would be considered minute. That said I am glad they are taking it seriously but I hope they don’t overdo it and cause even more economic misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapson Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Considering the thousands of Thais who work along side their migrant colleagues in the factories would have returned home to the provinces during the New Year........ we would expect them now to roll out testing across the north and north east at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
