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.

but that would put the daily number of cases up, which isn't what they want

 

the curve has started to drop now anyway, and I expect it to continue to until it reaches 0, even if the number of infections is increasing

 

they managed to cover it up last time with success

No it won't as we have much better controls here.

 

What controls are they..?..

 

... see my post above in short factory workers in huge numbers allowed to return home to provinces nationwide for the New Year holidays.

Do they publish anywhere how many people have been tested on each day, and how many tests combined labs in Thailand are able to process nowadays?

Wonder where were the 900 numbers from Samut Sakhorn....it was NOT included in yesterday's new cases number nor it is included in today's cases numbers? Is Thailand trying to protray the rising cases in is so minimal?

Migrant workers are not actually human to them so they don’t always count. It’s on a case by case basis.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced 305 confirmed cases and one death on Thursday (January 7).

 

The confirmed cases include two in state quarantine and an illegal border crosser.

 

Of the cases, 135 were exposed to the virus while visiting high-risk places, including 40 in Samut Sakhon, 47 in Bangkok, three in Ayutthaya, one in Suphanburi, two in Ang Thong, two in Singburi, two in Lopburi, one in Khon Kaen, three in Nakhon Pathom, six in Pathum Thani, one in Ratchaburi, two in Chiang Mai and 25 in Samut Prakan.

In addition, the source of infection for 58 cases is still being sought, and they include one in Suphanburi, one in Khon Kaen, two in Bangkok, eight in Chanthaburi, 27 in Chonburi, one in Trat, 13 in Rayong and five in Samut Sakhon.

 

The two returnees who have tested positive in quarantine facilities include a Thai woman who flew back from Turkey and a Russian woman who flew in from her own country. A Thai woman was also caught sneaking across the border from Myanmar on January 5 and was sent to Mae Sot Hospital.

 

Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin CCSA spokesperson said an 88-year-old cancer patient in Rayong succumbed to the virus on Wednesday. He had been infected by his son, who visited him on December 22.

 

He tested positive on January 3, and succumbed on Wednesday when his symptoms began worsening and his body stopped responding to treatment.

 

Meanwhile, 103 patients have recovered and been discharged.

 

The total number of confirmed cases in Thailand has risen to 9,636 – 7,551 of which were contracted domestically, including 2,684 migrant workers, and 2,085 were returnees.

 

So far, 4,521 have recovered and been discharged, while the death toll has risen to 67.

Thailand ranks 130 in the global list of most cases, while the US tops the list with 21.85 million, followed by India 10.39 million, Brazil 7.87 million, Russia 3.3 million and United Kingdom 2.83 million.

300 is still a big number in Thailand, I want to see less than 30 per day.

I wonder how much they are testing outside of the red zones?  I'm sure that there must be a lot more cases outside of these areas given that people traveled all around Thailand during the new year... 

[ThailandRyan]

Bangkok seems to be ticking upwards with local cases.  Think I will stay around the humble abode for awhile.  Lumpini park was fairly empty this morning on my Jog, and there has been less traffic out and about.  The children in the condo are getting restless.

In Thai press it was stated that this number has been included acrross the last few days. They are NOT extra on top of what has already been reported.

Your opinion obviously is different than others, please provide a link showing they are included as a total.

I would really like to see the numbers if they tested on the same scale as the UK. Any offers?

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

This was yesterday.

They are saying these are old numbers. Believe this if you like. Exactly where did the 900 go into the daily numbers? Smells of number fudging to me.

Why the questions over what in reality is penny numbers.

Just be grateful we are not reading figures like this.

 

The UK has recorded another 1,162 deaths from coronavirus – the second-highest daily increase in the government’s figures.
