Ministry of Public Health chart issued today showing the daily trends of Thailand's COVID case numbers since the beginning of April. The blue portion reflects cases identified on their own through doctors, hospitals, etc, while the yellow portion represents cases found via relatively limited government outreach testing.

The testing has been contact testing - as used in pretty much every country that has successfully handled this bug. It works and is far more effective than the sort of mass testing the US and Europe relied on - as numbers show. As to numbers of cases? You clearly have access to better data than the WHO and Johns Hopkins both of whom seem to think the numbers are credible. 

They do contact testing AND random sampling.

Ultimately the responsibility  lies with each and every  Thai  person not to have travelled  during Songkran, its  not  like they didnt  know.

And you think all Thai have perfect thinking of reasoning to know right from wrong as in do not travel or travel? More self absorbed than being non selfish for ones act.

Correct, but Thais do what Thais want to do in the name of visiting family, eating together and having Sanuk.  You can tak to them until you are blue in the face, but in the end they do what they want.  They live for the moment and the day, never truly thinking about the future until it smacks them in the face.

 

Well look at the expert. You do realise that farangs have been coming out with that exact same drivel for 30 years plus.

After managing to largely control the virus for around a year through shutdowns and strict border controls, Thailand has faced a spike in cases since early April that is proving harder to control and putting pressure on parts of the medical system.

 

Let us pray that the Indian variant doesn't get into Thailand until the population is vaccinated.

 

Prayut should think long and hard about his repatriation attempts to bring back some Thai's who have it in India.

Bangkok Province daily new case totals April 27 to May 3 on the second line below. The first line shows overall Thailand numbers of domestic cases (including Bangkok but excluding those from international travel quarantine). The far right column shows each's domestic case totals since the beginning of April:

Yes they were wrong about it stabilizing downwards. Still the increase is not that bad yet. But they were wrong for sure. I wonder if it will go down anytime soon. I also wonder how long hospitals can take this. Its not as if the hospitals are flush with cash. Plus the private ones don't want to help too much as it does not make them much money.

 

I wonder how long before healthcare will be in serious problems. Then again after a few weeks of the same amount of people getting in the discharge rate will be the same. Provided we keep these numbers and don't go up too much.

Discharge rate may differ. I will be determined by the length of infection. Not every one will recover in the same time period. They are likely to be kept in until they have a negative test result. The level of current admissions is likely to increase.

Only 744 people received their second dose yesterday. There’s still another 712,013 people waiting to be fully vaccinated. So far, only 387K people are fully vaccinated. Why is the Thai government taking so long vaccinating their most vulnerable citizens? #Thailand

Did anybody see the number of deaths in Chiang Mai yesterday (Sunday 2 May) and the preceding week? Please share.

Having folks listen and doing what they need to do to help themselves in a pandemic sometimes falls on deaf ears just like the Government failed to head the warnings of the doctors prior to Songkran.

 

  Here is where I go OT, Sorry if this is my experience having been married to a Thai for 10 years, and then having a Thai girlfriend who I lived with for 2 years.  Nothing different, maybe you have had a different experience.

Australia good at contact tracing. Australia has been very good at mass testing. Australia now has low numbers. Both mass testing and good contact tracing is needed. To say mass testing is less effective than contact tracing displays a lack of knowledge beyond belief. Mass testing reveals infections from whence contact tracing can occur. Mass testing and contact tracing are of course only a part, albeit an essential part, of any successful strategy.

 

UAE (essentially 7 cities) very good at mass testing, doing around 200,000 per day in a country of approx 10 million people. Daily new cases have been around 2,000 per day for over 2 months even with 50% of the resident population vaccinated (Pfizer / Sinopharm). Many links on Google. So yes, testing is important but as you say, only as part of a bigger strategy. FYI, Dubai has been open to tourists since late last year.

So explain Songkran 2020. It makes nonsense of what you just stated.

Yet still no full hard national lock down ?
 

Thankfully no.  Why cause more damage?  It's sad to see rates increasing but not surprising.  It's a global pandemic so what do people expect.  What is reassuring is that the death rate from Covid is still relatively low.  Things could be a lot worse!
