Most of  the new cases were again discovered during testing of migrant workers at quarantine facilities and hospitals in Samut Sakhon.

 

Of the new cases, 116 were local transmissions, while 10 cases were imported from people entering quarantine.

 

Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) also reported that 834 people were discharged from hospital having made a full recovery.

 

3,145 people remain in hospital or held in a migrant worker quarantine centre. No additional deaths were reported. 

 

Saturday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 24,405 with 80 deaths.

Maybe the students at Chulalangkorn U? Maybe their shutdown had something to do with real world numbers?

[Oldie]

The numbers are so low here in Thailand. Perhaps the risk is in the meantime higher to die of the vaccination? Or even more - on the way to the vaccination?

Given where you live - absolutely the last one.

Could that possibly be because they are forcefully testing "migrant workers" and not forcefully testing native Thais.  I'm thinking that if there was a national mandate that everyone in Thailand be test....well  ???? things might be a tinsy, tiny bit different.

If they rounded neighborhoods full of Thais up and contained them like they did the migrant workers and made them test, we’d see alarming numbers of infections.

 

Who do you think shops at all of these markets where the migrant workers sell their goods?

That stand to reason, an extra 10,000,000 per month driving to vaccination centres should see  the daily rate of 60+ deaths per day on the road rise to maybe 100+......

Because they have gently tested 1,400,000 Thai to date.

Should read: Testing stopped to pay for submarines.

That would be about right, testing every man, woman, child and soi dog would more than likely be equivalent to funding the water-proof covers of the submarine operating manuals.

Are you saying that these figures only relate to Thai people?

It seems they might have stopped testing.  Or at least stopped reporting as the figures haven't been updated

I hope that means I can have a quiet drink in my local next week in Bangkok

Actually it was meant as humour.  The poster reasoned forcing migrants to be a cause, so I wondered if gently testing Thai was also a cause.

 

But no, they did not stop testing. Use the Thai version for the latest figures:

https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/situation.php, Thai page is more up to date. It's PUI you need to look at as testing numbers would also include retests of PUI. Looks like it has dropped to 5-6k a day now average recently.

Not the point I'm making. It's now obvious that testing levels have gone back to what they were when this first happened.

Maybe so, but certainly not connected to submarines.

With a bit of luck ,but it might be a very quiet drink.

Another 124 cases found at a single market in Pathum Thani this afternoon, too late for today's total so they'll either be included in tomorrow's numbers or else swept under the carpet, lol. Seems like a real game of whack-a-mole is starting.

Just read that. 124 positive cases found at the market from just 817 swab tests. Thai's and migrants. Thats over a 15% positive rate. 

[Blumpie]

So what is causing the low cases?  Everywhere else the cases are exploding and they literally are.  

If they were hiding the numbers, they would have a death rate higher than before.  The flu isn't anywhere there is it?  

Something is going on here, and there is something that is being missed.  Is it Vitamin D (lots of sun in Thailand)?  Is it the heat?  Is it a combination of many factors, and those factors I am not listing either.

Something is bizarre here.  There would be more cases even without testing.  But then look at Mexico.  

IT's really weird.

Recovery? Were all 834 people symptomatic or were they simply made a "case" due to a Positive PCR test but remained asymptomatic? The vast majority of positive tests result in no illness. https://time.com/5842669/coronavirus-asymptomatic-transmission/

It's true - there are lots that have no outcome at all.  Not even symptoms!  

The thing is nobody knows the number.  Nobody.  Reports say it could be as high as 40-45 percent, but I'm not doctor and for all I know it was from one of those awful prison planet websites that deranged people get "informations" off of.
