Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 CCSA spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin warned today (Saturday) of stricter measures, to be imposed soon in targeted areas by the CCSA, as today’s new COVID-19 infections reached yet another new high of 2,839, with 8 more fatalities. Bangkok accounted for 1,582 of today’s new infections, described as very high by Dr. Taweesin. Meanwhile, there were 151 cases in Chiang Mai, 119 in Chon Buri, 96 in Nonthaburi, 84 in Samut Prakan, 59 in Pathum Thani, 57 in Samut Sakhon, 46 in Surat Thani, 38 in Nakhon Sawan and 34 cases in Songkhla. He said that more than 20 clusters were found this week in 19 provinces, including Bangkok, where five clusters infected more than 50 people each. He attributed the spike in cases this week to infections in work places, group socializing, eating together, infections among family members, a lack of social distancing in group activities, group activities among elderly people, travel by public transport and misleading information provided about the movements of the infected.

bushwacker Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 When I read, what he (the Doctor) attributes the spike to, I am at a loss as to what else there is. Wonder if he is saying that the spike is due to everything. ???? Hmm... that does not help me much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might wish it but the numbers tell a different story... Malaysia...388,000 cases & 1400 deaths Myanmar...143,000k & 3206 Singapore...60,996 & 30 Vietnam...2833 & 35 Indonesia...1,640,000 & 44,500 Philippines...989,000 & 16,674 Thailand...53,022 & 129 (JHU CSSE COVID-19 Data [yesterday's totals]) Compared to its ASEAN peers, other than Vietnam and Singapore (tiny population and high income country), Thailand is at the front of the pack when it comes to handling the pandemic.

ikke1959 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Stricter measures.. come with sollutions instead of measures that ruin everything. What if the schools open? How do you test and protect the teachers and students.. Now is the time for actions. How ,when and where do you start to vaccinate?? Who first on the list? the old people? tourist sector? teachers? officials from amphur? taxidrivers? shopkeepers? businessmen?? Organize things now instead of curfews, alcohol banning and all that <deleted> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hugocnx Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 2018 was a severe flu year. According to https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/thailand-influenza-pneumonia 44549 people died of Influenza and pneumonia. That was 122 mortalities per day. Seemingly that was just part of life then....... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now they have the national epidemic on their hands that they must have wanted to create. Why else allow the sick to travel freely across the entire country during the holiday? Misjudgement? Yeah, right! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly your view of the situation is too restricted you your own comfy little bubble. Thai men go to the nearest 7/11 or any other store to buy the cheap gazoline they call Thai whisky, and drink collectively into oblivion, after having dropped all their inhibitions and spat their Covid into each others faces.
