Popular Post webfact Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 REUTERS FILE PHOTO for reference only Thailand’s third wave of COVID-19 infections has already peaked and the overall situation is stabilizing, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said on Thursday. “The peak was on April 24 and it is stabilizing downwards,” said CCSA spokesperson Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin. The third wave of infections began on April 1 and could be traced to a number of bars and clubs in the Thonglor and Ekkamai districts in Bangkok. Infection clusters in those venues could then be directly linked to clusters discovered in Hua Hin and Pattaya and numerous other provinces. As of Friday (April 30) the third wave of infections in Thailand has resulted in a total of 36,290 cases and 109 deaths, while 28,696 patients continue to receive medical treatment. Also on Friday, Thailand reported 1,583 new coronavirus cases, the fewest number of cases in more than one week. This brings the country's total number of confirmed infections to 65,153 since the pandemic began last year. Fifteen new deaths were reported, taking the total number of fatalities to 203. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Excel Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Infections based on the last few days of data appear to indicate that infections overall have peaked. However, and something more concerning perhaps, especially for the families of the deceased, it can not be concluded yet that deaths have peaked. When deaths continue to decline over a 7day period, day on day, then one may conclude it has previously peaked, not until. 18 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what your saying does not make sense. (peaking deaths have nothing to do with infections and that is what they are talking about) Still this is based on figures of the Thai government. But if they kept testing the same way all the period then they are right. Still the numbers are not low and just a small lapse can bring them on. 11 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Petey11 Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thai authorities need to package and sell their secret formula to defeating all strains of covid. One of the few countries in the world who can contain the UK variant in such a short time with no major restrictions.

I get your humour but to be fair, there have been a reasonable amount of restrictions, in Bangkok at least. Bars - shut 3+ weeks ago. Companies - many working at home for 2 weeks already. Convenience stores - shutting at 10pm for 1 week already. I won't mention shopping malls as all that is nonsensical... What does seems strange in the context of 'being through the worst' is that they are ramping up restrictions tomorrow ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and that fear (or the fear of enforced home quarantine for the entire household if a positive case is detected, as the authorities are doing in my area up north) may deter people for coming in for testing. Unless they are basing their case counts on recurring sampling of defined populations, the case counts don't mean much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post retsdon Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thailand has a test rate of 3,000 per million people. The UK by comparison has a rate of 2,067,509 per million (2 tests per head). no prizes for guessing who will find the most cases. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of cases peaked which is somewhat irrelevant and only related to the amount of testing. Thus: IF the number of people tested also peaked, it would make sense that the number of cases peaked. The ‘cases’ figures are highly misleading because they are purely related to the number of tests carried out. The true metric is ‘necessary hospitalisations’ those on ICU and deaths. Given Thailand’s testing methods and conclusion based on ‘test results’ alone is simply flawed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
