I would not worry too much. It is just the number they reported. 

 

But you are right. I see very many Farangs here without masks. But if so what will happen to them - nothing. In the worst case they will get Covid.

Marginal ignorance in that reply. Unless of course you are refering only to the more aged group of the foreign tourist here that should be taking more care than most..

That's a very high number. Guaranteed it's low due to lack of mass testing.

A lot of those numbers are community transmission.  That means, this will be an outbreak, not a cluster.  

 

I would not be surprised to see another full lock down in the near future.  

here you are testings per country and and months till 75% of population is vaccinated

10 years at Thailand's current rate.  

 

We need another military coup to distract everyone from this statistic.  ????

Strange, every time I'm in central every one is wearing  there masks.

Or that they are allowed to report on.  

Covid positive people entered these places. With out being tested and quarantined covid positive positive people will continue to go places, shutting down entertainment venues putting people out of work will not stop the spread, it is simply something to point a finger to in order to make people feel calm that it has been identified and being handled

I don't expect people drinking coffee to be wearing masks, as I don't in Black Canyon. Hopefully they space out the seating well.

I am more pessimistic.... allowing people to gather in substantial numbers causes the pandemic to spread. Shutting down venues will slow it down substantially. Being out of work is being selected over getting infected or dying. I am more inclined to focus on closing down large crowds, sporting meetings, large nightclubs and discos and similar. The numbers that result from these types of things seem to be the main items in Thai news. It is exactly how it all went out of control is Spain and Italy. 

Also 141 cases in Hua Hin, what are the odds?

Come to my village.

Few masks, but plenty of coughing and spluttering.

And nobody even heard of testing.

Makes me seriously think about not wanting to be here.
