Out of a total of 189 there were 159 cases reported as Covid testing of migrant workers at quarantine facilities, yet there were 123 "walk-ins"? These numbers simply don't make any sense. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The actual rate at which people are becoming Infected has gone up. When 10,000 tests were performed Daily there were about 800 people positive per Day ( 8% ). The rate of testing has now dropped to 2000 per Day to save Money, an there are 189 positives . This is a rate of 9.5 % positivity. Another round of Daily Tosh from the Mongers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unblocktheplanet Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Unfortunately, yesterday's BMA chart posted by Richard Barrow makes things no clearer. We still haven't a clue if there's really any testing going on unless one shows up on the hospital steps. We should know how many PCR tests are accomplished each day, how many rapid tests & where Covid+s are showing up. All we really know is there have been 863 Covid+s in Bangkok during the second wave and 6,068 (https://covid19.ddc.moph.go.th/en) are still in hospitals nationwide, 145 of them in the capital. From to total of 23,746 that looks to me like ~25% are cases serious enough to remain in hospital. I'm not a maths guy but these are scary numbers. We're likely still seeing exponential growth from New Year travel & we're about to spread the virus to families in every province by Chinese New Year travel. STAY HOME, PLEASE!

Cake Monster Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Late last week the tests were said to be reduced this week to 2000 per Day in order to save Money. I say 2000 and you say 5000, so what is the real and correct number ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
