we want to know where they are ; what provinces, as granular as they have the data

[keith101]

It seems these reports are being done earlier every day is that so the numbers are lower ?

[ikke1959]

very quick today with the numbers... Normally they announce it after 11 o'clock. Something fishy again. Yesterday Sunday, less testing and quickly announce to prevent problems???

The 2,048 new COVID cases reported Monday represented the second consecutive day of declines, but the fourth straight day of 2,000+ new cases in Thailand's so-called "third wave" COVID outbreak that began at the start of April.

 

--The growing toll of COVID patient hospitalizations -- under a government policy that requires all COVID cases to be hospitalized regardless of symptoms -- crossed the 25,000 mark hitting 25,767, a number that has doubled over the past 10 days.

 

--The eight new COVID deaths reported Monday represented the second highest daily toll for Thailand of the pandemic thus far, eclipsed only by the 11 reported yesterday and matching the eight reported Saturday.

 

--The 563 COVID patients considered in critical condition is a tally that's doubled over the past six days (from 259 on April 21). Plus 150 patients requiring ventilators to breathe is a figure that's almost tripled over the past week (from 55 on April 20)..

 

In this morning's update, a government spokeswoman said the prime minister and other top officials would meet again this coming Thursday to consider what, if any, additional measures might be required to deal with the current COVID outbreak.

A good direction but will need many more days of declining numbers to confirm any trend...but I'll take it as good news to start the week.

Could be i mean anutin is in trouble and looking bad only dropping numbers can save him. So who knows the numbers might be manipulated. But im not sure about it, lets just see what happens on facebook. If we have many reports of hospitals refusing patients and people dying we know the numbers are fake. If not .. then maybe they are true.

Yes, I posted todays report at 9:15 this morning.

 

It ha been like this the last few mornings whereas the usual time has always been approx 11:30.

Mass vaccination, combined with ban on unnecessary travel +/- strict regional lockdowns is the way forward. These figures are undoubtably palpably untrue. IMHO anyway.

Of course. What we have here is tge second of the weekend numbers. Let's see where the trend line goes starting tomorrow. Fingers crossed and let's hope the deaths trend downward.

Another 8 dead people thanks to the government not having vaccine to treat these people and health save their lives.  Each one is like be murdered by the government.  Get them some vaccine and fast to save life's.

Apparently the Thai's are calling it the Songkran wave, knowing all to well why it started and who let it start

The numbers are always what was recorded on the previous day. 

The time that they are reported the following day has no bearing on them what so ever.

Will Thailand’s new COVID surge kill a plan to restart tourism in July? 

 

"Although the third wave of COVID-19 has hit Thailand hard, key decision-makers are still keen to launch the “Phuket Sandbox” on July 1. The sandbox will trial Thailand’s reopening by allowing inoculated foreigners to visit Phuket without having to quarantine.

 

Crucial to its success, however, is whether the government can deliver enough vaccine to achieve herd immunity in the population of the province and if the private sector will deliver solid support.

 

“We have not canceled or changed the Phuket Sandbox plan,” Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said on Sunday. “Vaccinations are being urgently rolled out in Phuket.”

It always baffles me why some people are so desperately disappointed when the numbers of reported cases drops.

Have you not taken into consideration that some provinces may well be late in reporting on the day and therefore report the following morning?

Per Richard Barrow:

 

"Starting today, Surat Thani (which includes Koh Samui, Koh Phangnan and Koh Tao) have started to shut down businesses similar to Bangkok. If you come from the red zone you must do quarantine. You must wear a mask. And you are asked to stay home from 10pm-4am"

It always baffles me why so people get bent out of shape about facts.

 

Facts don't offend.

 

How do you read in my comment that I am disappointed, or are you projecting onto me?

Nobody disappointed only realistic! What day the test have made, how many people are watching test resurt in lab...... so on! Many thing what they not inform. Reason cant know facts to make  estimation about real numbers. Add there the number of test and sick people who not go to test at all!

These are not Monday's cases , just Sunday's reported on Monday, unless that is the government think they can predict the future

With the addition of Bangkok over the weekend, almost two-thirds of Thailand's 77 provinces are now enforcing mandatory face mask wear in public places:

My tweet to Barrow:

 

The usual reporting of daily covid-19 cases has always been approx 11:30. Do you know why the reporting for the last few mornings have been much earlier than usual, i.e. approx 09:15?

The quote from the article was "Monday’s cases" which is simply not true, the point I was clarifying. It should have stated Sunday's cases reported Monday to be correct rather than misleading as usual.

Couldn't agree more. Only weekly figures provide solid consistent evidence, worldwide. Therefore they should be the lowest granularity used for publication.

 

Otherwise the province colouring would remain interesting, based on numbers AND doctors assessments. The list of hot (searing) zones within provinces would be extremely useful too.
