Once again, flat numbers indicating their upper capacity to test and identify cases.

New article in the BP indicates they fear there are more cases undetected within households and so they will start testing households in certain areas. I do believe they're right, not all will go and get tested.

400 on Tuesday

2,000 on Wednesday

1,600 on Thursday

Pitiful amount of testing

You are right, it's woefully inadequate.  We have not heard any more on the cluster from Klong Toei either.

No fear, Spotter will be along later to put it all in perspective for us.

Not sure if that's good because if they find more than 300 cases in households they might ban them like they did for eateries and pubs and I would put it passed them to try exactly that.

It’s almost time for Covid numbers bingo. Guess the number of new infections and win a prize.

 

Seriously, I suspect at most 100 more than yesterday, and at least -400 cases, that should be the range.

And bingo it keeps moving upwards in both categories. A sad reality that as this government claimed the cases peaked on the 24th.
