Nearly all of the new cases were again discovered during testing of migrant workers at quarantine facilities and hospitals in Samut Sakhon. Of the new cases, 107 were discovered in Samut Sakhon via active contact tracing, while 95 were so-called ‘walk-ins’ discovered from people reporting to hospital. 12 cases were imported from people entering quarantine. Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) also reported that 668 people were discharged from hospital having made a full recovery. 6,350 people remain in hospital or held in a migrant worker quarantine centre. No new deaths were reported. Sunday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 23,371, with 79 deaths. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-02-07 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in Bangkok and the western section then its time for more widespread testing I would presume. However, if its not widespread as Sheryl has said it would be a waste of money to test more. However, I find things to have a transparency issue. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AmySeeker Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Until they perform a 100,000 tests in Bangkok (like they do in many cities) to see the level of spread of the virus in the city then it's safe to assume it's out there. The number reporting to go into hospitals from outside the migrant camp is going up. crazy. It's basically ALL OVER.

cormanr7 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think it is useless to make a today vs yesterday comparison as there are sometimes huge outliers. Far better to look at, for instance, a 7 day moving average to discern the trend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats the one ive been watching the last few weeks, and seems like one of the highest number of walk-in cases in a long time. 113 people who are sick enough to have symptoms and report to the hospital, for a virus that that a large percentage are asymptomatic and dont even know they have it. Alot can be implied from that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot can be implied from that. Most walk-ins are still in Samut Sakorn - showing just how widespread it is. If there was "community spread" across Bangkok, the numbers would be much higher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot can be implied from that. A lot can be implied by people who know nothing about the subject. Nothing can be deduced from that. The vast majority of proactive cases are from Samut Sakhon as are the vast majority of walk in cases. In Samut Sakhon many areas are in lockdown and isolation. Bangkok is the only other area with significant numbers of cases. Maybe it would be prudent to isolate and lockdown Bangkok? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You prefer "intelligent action" that ends up with covid testing sweeps, where Chinese-style you're whisked off the streets and put into quarantine costing you 100,000 baht? Not me.

Clearly you have both evidence and major qualifications. You could also offer your services to Australia and New Zealand as Thailand is using the same model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fluctuates, but it's fairly consistent. if it stays above 100 for a couple of weeks, then it means something's changed. Nothing to worry about just yet.

Popular Post dyertribe Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'd really like to see the number of tests conducted. Without both figures how can you tell if there is a decline in people testing positive or just a decline in testing? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spellforce Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 Maybe they don't test enough but the figures of hospitalizations and deaths are genuine. No reason to panic in Thailand ???? I don't try to understand why it's different in Thailand, I just look the facts: that virus doesn't kill that much here. The whole world is pessimistic but those who live in Thailand must remain optimistic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
