Typical Thailand and them wanting to show the world that Thailand are becoming “experts” at everything.... I agree..17.500 tests pr million doesnt impress me at all..here in norway 504.000 pr million..and we are only 5,5 million citicenz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very bad, but this was the Station for Post Natal, so she was in contact with very small babies with no immunity what so ever. I think I would have politely asked for the floor supervisor and informed them. Not good for this nurse especially in that environment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGSan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 2 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: The bigger question is how many tests were conducted. If fewer then the days before you would expect lower numbers. My side of Bangkok for the past 5 days has been very light on Traffic, and the MRT at less than half capacity when we have utilized it. The local stores where we shop have few customers, and the carts which usually line the road at the corner of Rama 4 and Sathon Thai Rd in front of the Q house have been reduced to about 1/4 of what it was before. Yes, it appears people are working from home as well as staying indoors, which will hopefully allow the numbers to keep dropping. Lumpini Park has also been at about a third of the capacity it normally is during the times we go. The Condo I reside in has not only closed the Gym but now the pool as well..... If you can please stay at home too, that would help a lot. And we would not have to hear about your ill-gotten data! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Crossy said: Quite possibly, but most of those out and about in Bangkok wear them anyway due to the (lack of) air quality so in reality little will actually change. Also, it's been quite common to see folks everywhere in Japan wearing masks for decades? Why? Because Japanese folks believe they have a responsibility to not spread germs to others when they have a common cold, the flu etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2530Ubon Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The government are so keen to show they're doing everything wonderfully. They refuse to even call this a second wave. We'll never see the true numbers because of limited/next to no testing. Thais have been travelling up and down the country over the holidays but amazingly, the only places with infections are the places where there are road blocks and testing. Sort it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that might save us is the diligent tracing they do here. The big worry now is the new highly contagious UK covid mutant super strain that is spreading across the globe. Reported in Perth and in Brisbane Australia yesterday with Brisbane now put back in lockdown and devastating the UK currently. If we can avoid getting that, hopefully the Thais can manage this current outbreak and dodge this bullet until the vaccines ramp up and we can return to normal. You're a laugh a minute. "Diligent"? What nonsense. What will save you is the vaccines mostly westerners have developed. Everything else is luck. As for the "UK variant", would that the variant of the China Virus? By the way, did you see all the massive numbers of Chinese in China who don't trust the China vaccines? Even they aren't that daft.

Yep working along side the migrant workers in the factories are thousands of Thais many of which joined the max exodus back to Issan and the provinces for the New Year holidays. It would seem that extensive testing in all the regional hubs would follow to contain a chance of further outbreaks, Im sure they are just waiting a week to put this plan into action or maybe not......... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCSA spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin said Thailand 205 new cases on Friday. Of the new cases, 131 were local transmissions, 58 were among migrant workers and 16 were imported from people entering quarantine. Thailand also reported a huge increase in the number of people discharged from hospital (734) on Friday. No new deaths were reported. 4,519 people remain in hospital or held in a migrant worker quarantine centre. Friday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 9,841, with 67 deaths. Dr. Taweesin added that 16 provinces in Thailand have not reported a new infection in the past 7 days, 4 provinces haven’t reported a new case in 14 days and 20 provinces haven’t reported a case since 15 December 2020, while 37 provinces have reported just at least one case in the last 7 days.
