I asked a Doomsayer what they meant by “getting out of control”. 
 

your nonsense reply didn’t answer the question.

Flaming and wanting a reply.

 

Answer your own question, I was just pointing out your hypocrisy

Yes.

 

Songkran did not bring a major increase in cases in the provinces. Paradoxically, the post Songkran surge has been mostly confined to the Bangkok area.

What about all the people leaving the Bangkok area at Songcran for the provinces and then returning? This is giving the very small minority of posters who are part of the we love the unelected "PM" brigade the chance to divert the blame away from him.

There were 32 new infections in Isaan yesterday, pretty much the same rate as before Songkran.

 

What’s your point?

Give us a hint...link cases in your province before/after songkran.

My province has had one the least cases of the Chinese virus. How about pointing to Kalasin and the mother of the two young boys who died in one of the Khon Kean provinces?

Ahh.. You must have meant all the other provinces then where all the increase in cases are.

The other side to this prison outbreak, the deaths that will come as a result

 

Matichon reporting that out of 10,226 inmates infected with #COVID19, 63 are in a serious condition, 884 in moderate condition and 9,279 in a safe condition. No inmates have died from covid. There are 32 wardens infected. 15 have already recovered

Leave them to it, the fact that the UK variant, first discovered in the Thong Lor area in early April and has now spread throughout Thailand is all that needs to be said.

Why. State your reasons. Relative to other countries, Thailand is doing ok. Even countries that were able to do well like Singapore and Taiwan are experiencing another surge. Now who's the clown. ????

What does this tell you about the rest of Thailand and the almost certainty that thousads or tens of thousands are walking around undetected because they like the prisoners were not and have not been tested

That's highly unlikely. The best current estimate from the CDC is that about 30% of Covid cases are asymptomatic. That means that if there were, let's say 20,000 asymptomatic cases, there would be around 47,000 symptomatic ones.

 

CDC planning scenarios

 

The fact that we're not seeing multiple tens of thousands of symptomatic cases being admitted to hospital, means there almost indubitably aren't tens of thousands of asymptomatic cases "walking around undetected."

Issans pretty big care to try again.  Many provinces in Issan prior to Songkran had no cases.

There is still a steady stream of travellers to and from Bangkok and I'll wager that a lot more people have travelled to or from Bangkok since Songkran than during Songkran so all of a sudden it's everywhere but we are not looking everywhere and when we do look it's just a quick peek just to confirm that yes there are some cases there before moving on to have a quick peek somewhere else.No attempt to find the full extent of the spread.At least in Sweden they had an idea of what was happening where as here they really appear to letting out the reigns and sticking in the boot and whip giving it the old let it rip approach, as per what ever will happen will happen or "it's Allah's will English" Omar Sharif.

One death so far unless you're declaring an end to the pandemic here in Thailand ruling out any further deaths in Kalasin!

True, but at the same time I think we can be fairly confident that there are not something like 47,000 symptomatic infections going undetected every day.

One would hope not, but I see a lot of coughing sneezing and snot blowing going on here in Sathorn.

Can the rose coloured glasses brigade please step forward and tell us all how it was that Thailand avoided the Songkran surge.

 

Also all those people that told us about the spicy diet and warm weather fending off Covid. 
 

Please, come forwards and explain to us your wisdom.

@Marvin Hagler how is songkran related to the prison outbreaks? do they let the prisoners out for  songkran !!

No they're not walking around undetected, they're at home self medicating until they feel better if they have mild symptoms.

Classic Doomsayer.

 

Next month, this poster can point to the inevitable 1,000 fatalities and claim that this was a catastrophe, even if the wave has receded by then. 

 

 

Classic! - nailed me... almost.  I hope it does recede.  I hope current variants dont get out of control.  Current numbers are not reassuring.  Does that help clarify for you?

Except that there were plenty of cases in Isaan before Songkran.

 

There were more cases in Isaan on April 9th, than there were yesterday. Maybe the Songkran holiday reduced cases in Isaan.

Plenty of Covid in Isaan before Songkran.
