Ayutthaya also has one, and then you have the university here in BKK and then Pathum Thani, and Tak. Some true consultation of numbers would be nice, but then are they testing large scale anywhere but Samut Sakhon. I highly doubt it, they are more than likely tracking and tracing possible contacts. Articles in a few Thai papers are asking for those that visited certain areas to go and get tested. Maybe these are tge walk-ins, who knows. Consistency would be nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start being completely transparent with the testing numbers and what they are doing outside of Samut Sakhon. Transparency has never been the military, authoritarian way though... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 These reports would be more useful if we knew the following additional statistics. Same is true of Covid reporting worldwide, but for us particularly in Thailand. a) How many testing positive were asymptomatic? b) How many required hospitalization? From what I can tell the Covid outbreak in Thailand regardless of spread has been less virulent than other countries with less people getting very ill or dying. I am not saying that means we should let our guard down but it would ease anxieties if the negative effects of Covid were demonstrably less severe in Thailand. But based on case and death counts alone it's not possible to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The migrant workers are locked in field hospitals. No one gets to isolate at home if positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Actually only 69 of the 143 were in Samut Sakhon. So not "most", though SS did have the highest count by province Next highest was Pathumthani at 50 cases so nit that far behind SS Other provinces well under 10 cases each 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Have just seen that Pathum Thani cluster is linked to Samut Sakhon seafood market on Dec 22. All very interesting. I believe the Ministry of Misinformation and Confussion is at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey11 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 On the topic of tests, does anyone know the average turnaround time in Thailand from test to been told the result, there always seems to be a big time lag in reporting cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you saying how good the govt. was doing when this first happened and how good the numbers were but please excuse me if I missed your response when the govt. came out and said they weren't testing much. They still aren't. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshguy Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Serious question. If they are saying the most covid cases/outbreaks etc have been in S.S. for what seems like weeks now. Why is it taking them so long to test people there? Surely if this was meant to be a "hotspot"...they should have been testing 10s of thousands per day since the "outbreak" there. Like lots of things in Thailand....."I just dont get it?!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did precisely that for one week then decided it was cheaper to just lock them up in the factories and wait for herd immunity.You must have missed a couple of threads where this was discussed at length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
