Stargeezr Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I feel sorry for the prisoners. They did not go to India, but it seems that the Indian variant has come to them. Say Danderguy, you say that not many will die, how do you know? Are you a doctor and have seen that all the prisoners are in top health, and will only get sick. More likely a bunch of them will die of lung disease, or pneumonia, or something like that, so the Face saving is still intact. My one 30ish year old relative was very fit, and healthy but died 3 weeks after getting COVID, so I am not one to say that this virus is not a killer.

Olivie Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Same from the beginning: The usual thai strategy: No test = No case. And when then test, they find a lot of cases. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you seem stuck on the idea that unless data is given to you in exactly the quantity that you want, then it is useless. based on the data available now, I know that tomorrow’s numbers are not going to be 100,000 new cases, nor 500. That’s based on the data we have now, and this is an example that a small dataset has some value. But not much value without a whole lot more testing - as you and i agreed earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is, not possible. If you have seen pictures in the media. However, if you refuse vaccination in Buriram you can be imprisoned, This will probably guarantee that you will infected and Som Num Na, for not listening.

The fact is Thailand ranks 104th in the world for transparency and corruption I've been saying this for quite sometime now.The recent prison outbreak numbers were under the rug until a protest leader forced them to be revealed.The fact is many people actually believe what numbers are being released, "you" may not know what explains Thailands low numbers but "we" do., 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the math reveals that the death rate works out to 0.55%!! That’s right! Only 0.55% or approximately one-half of one percent of those infected have actually died! Further, given that the population of Thailand is currently over 69 million, the percentage of the population that has been infected so far is 0.16% and the percentage of the population who have actually died from it, is 0.00000003%!!!!! For this, the country has been brought to a standstill, businesses closed down, its economy devastated and the populace shaking with fear.....mandated by law to wear face masks when outside their homes???!!! SMDH and weep!!!!???? Another poster who doesn’t understand that the very restrictions he is so unhappy about are causing the low numbers of infections.

My niece had covid and no symptoms.. according to him, she was healthy until she becomes sick and needs a doctor. A strange disease when you need a test to tell you that you are sick - because you wouldn't know otherwise in most cases. What’s your point?

Let me shock you: there is an alternate testing system in place. People who are sick go into hospitals, and are tested for Covid. If nobody does that, the authorities assume there isn’t much infections in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better re-think that one. Actually, there were plenty of infections in the provinces before Songkran. The reports a week before Songkran were filled with cases in the provinces.
