If it's this much in the prisons, it's only non-testing in the community keeping Thailand's figures as low as they are - even when reported as high !

I think we can safely add 2 zero's to that figure

 

but since they are not testing we will never know

 

Lets see todays figures and see the lies..... under 2,500 again you know it's BS

Most on here have been saying since this since the virus started.

As soon as it gets into the prisons it will spread like wildfire.

If we could see it coming why could the authorities not?

good idea to let them out to spread covid 19

If they don't look they won't see, If they don't see, there's nothing there
