Increasingly, people are being dishonest with regards to informing health officials of their ‘timeline’, which is needed so the authorities can begin contact tracing in order to try and prevent further spread of the virus.

Because they know they'll be thrown into a Covid concentration camp where they'll be forced into close proximity to people who are actually sick.  If the Thai government wants compliance, allow the asymptomatic to quarantine at home with a GPS tracking device or smartphone.  If they are caught out, then hit them with a 20,000 THB fine and/or jail time and then forced incarceration in a Covid concentration camp.
But no.  The government only will allow their ministers and officials to quarantine at home.  Thai people do not want to be incarcerated.  So they lie.  And will continue to do so unless the government changes its tune.

A lot of brown logs float to the top of the lying pyramid. Guess who's sitting on the point!

Some of the new infections come from patients who “have not been honest or forthright in disclosing their timeline of activities or movements to facilitate thorough contact tracing”, a CCSA spokesperson said during Saturday’s briefing. 

It's the pot calling the kettle "black."  How many politicians hold the moral high-ground to accuse the public of not telling the truth?  If they want the truth, fix the causes that create the effects.  People are protecting themselves from forced incarceration in Covid concentration camps and loss of work.  Of course a high percentage of the population will lie.
Take a first world approach:  Allow people to quarantine at home if asymptomatic, provide a stipend if they can not work.  Instead the government goes full repression.  
Yeah, people are going to lie under those circumstances.

The lack of vaccine in peoples’  arms is what is complicating the Covid-19 response!

Nobody wants to be confined to a detention camp, especially if they are taking a chance with false positive readings.

Good point. Does anyone have the numbers? Meaning the RATES of false positives for the various tests?

 When it comes to QR Codes, only those with Smartphones can potentially be traced. Those without no chance unless they sign a register (as I do here in Cambodia).

This has nothing at all to do with " timeline reporting " Etc

It is all about the the inability of Thai people as a whole to be self disciplined.

These people know they are to wear Masks, use Hand Sanitizer, and Social Distance. But do they .... No

When the folk are somewhere where they think they are away from prying Eyes, they will have a Somtam Party of 10 all sat round a 2 x 2 M mat and eating with their Hands, drinking from the same Glass and all the other unsanitary activities that go on.

It is ingrained into these people, and no amount of Government speeches will change that.

The only thing that will change this kind of irresponsibly behavior is for them to all catch Covid, unfortunately others are affected also.

I have just witnessed the new Pickup Truck being paraded around the Country by about 8 people that all got out of it, and not a single person wore a mask, and neither did the household of 6 where they just stopped .

Much of what will happen during this Covid outbreak can squarely be put on the shoulders of the population themselves

Does that include members of the government?

But if the person being asked to reveal is already tested positive then perhaps they are making themself responsible for encouraging an undetected cluster which could lead to deaths?

Sad  but true.

I have read somewhere in a statement from an upfront Medical person that even now a lockdown need be mandated by the Government due to recognition of the fact that the general Thai population does not possess or accept the genuine cognitive capacity for social responsibility.

While a current survey indicates social dissatisfaction with Government efforts of late that same society wholeheartedly partook in the Songkran stampede which is now exacerbating widespread infections. No win for either side !

It is impossible to trace where you got infected by Covid. Indeed you can have some privacy too and tell the Government where when with who you went is a bit absurd. However can anyone remeber where you went exactly ???

I can ... but I have no life lol ???? and am compulsively and analy retentive lol ????
