"2nd Feb they had 934 cases and did about 2000 tests giving an infection rate of nearly 50% which"

 

Your numbers are off by at least a factor of 10. There were about 21000 tests that day.

 

(check your graph)

 

Not sure where the numbers in the published graphs come from, ie where they get their sources, but the official figures for the 2nd Feb are:

 

Positive cases = 836

Tests = 9,720

Positive rate = 8.5%

    The graph seems to indicate some correlation between testing numbers and the case numbers so once the testing stops it will be over.

    That percentage depends on who and where you test, if you test little you will not know what you've missed.If you test a lot you will get a better picture, it's like opening you eyes, you will see mor

Data in all graphs so far in this thread are from ourworldindata.com, an international source. These are for total testing for all of Thailand. The viral pneumonia pages only contain testing for their screening system that started in early January 2020, as I understand. 

 

Here is complete testing data in high resolution for the second wave only, no averaging.

Yes I know the website, I've visited it many times, I'm just saying what the official figures are released from the Thai government on a daily basis. The same figures that are released by CCSA. The title in the daily charts published is "Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19)" 

 

These differ from those charts so back to my question I do not know where they get their information from but its not from the daily official figures. Thailand has never tested more than 12,000 people in one day officially.

 

The chart peaks at over 35,000, thats way off making it far from credible.

On reason might be the retesting the initial positive results for confirmation but who knows.
