"yeh but how many have been tested!"

"no testing no cases!"

Hmmm, I'm going to try and pick some lottery numbers from the above, wish me luck.

Sat 16 Jan:+230 .... but overall big drop compared to last week.

 

Last week ... Sat 9 Jan:+212

The best thing that could happen to Thailand would be Thais being banned form giving comments on anything news related. Just give the facts, because none of them can say anything without sounding like an idiot.

Are you implying the authorities here are idiots...........

They are known for manipulating numbers to suit their own purposes in every sector of life; so believe what you will !

That curve won’t go down until they’ve passed a new law on the morchana app

cant let facts get in the way of interpreting an ambiguous headline

Sorry - but again - these numbers are just too flat and even to be realistic without limited testing

I have been checking the Worldometers info site and Thailand hasnt recorded any tests for almost a week now.

There's nothing ambiguous about the headline at all. It said: ''230 new COVID-19 cases but big drop overall compared to last week''. (not last Friday)

Sigh... yes we're all aware of what the article means... I was partaking in the age old tradition on TV of having a jab at less than clear titles. Clearly I've missed the mark to some degree if I am wasting time having to explain that. Apologies to the nuance police

A big overall increase on yesterday's number of cases.The Thai flatline continues!

Translation is never really good.  Thai to English. 

 

Anyway, it's a significant weekly drop.  Better to look at weekly averages rather than daily numbers.

 

At least the numbers are going in the right direction.

Yes the horizontal direction.

So can we go back to normal now?

Any sources to backup your assertion or just spinning conspiracy theories?

No exponential growth, and weekly averages are declining. That’s good news.

So you think they haven't undertaken any?

The fact is the 'given' numbers have been coming down. Most cases still in Samut Sakhon & Bangkok only 14 today. Forget large testing. Only create panic & further lockdowns. Start the vaccine program ASAP for those who want it.

Given what I read in the comments on this forum the same applies to most farang. Not referring to you to be clear.

Well, given that they have been reporting new cases daily for the past week worldometers clearly has the wrong data.  I myself was tested just a few days ago so I guess someone needs to call worldometers that there was at least one test.
