Who's correct? AFAIK NBT numbers are published on the 19th for the day before. These numbers mentioned here appear to be for the 19th but before days end so could still be adjusted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one claiming no testing is being done, I am asking you to let us know how you know, all you show is number of infections. I am not claiming extensive testing is being done, just asking you to justify your claim, which you clearly can not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rhacsyn Posted May 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2021 My missus has lived and worked in Phuket for 35 years. She doesn't show too much emotion but believe me she was happy when this news came in last night. Family called, friends called, friends of friends called locally and from overseas to share a bit of refreshing news. After one and a half years of hell (not just in Phuket of course), many have fallen but those that I know that are left cling to glimmers of hope or rays of light such as this and use it to keep them going. She realises that the battle against Covid is not over but needs a bit of TLC and as many uplifting days / weeks / months as this as possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
