Only around 30% are asymptomatic, the rest are pre symptomatic. It is this group that drives the spread of the virus silently. They cannot be detected via temperature screening controls and mix with the community normally.

Gotta disagree with you on this one BKK Brian. Pre-symptomatic, asymptomatic and symptomatic all spread the virus. Pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic of course differ to symptomatic in that they both display no symptoms.

Maybe I didn't make myself as clear as I should have. I agree all 3 groups spread the virus but I was just really referring to the posters disregard to asymptomatic cases as they also spread it along with the pre-symptomatic.

I would be interested to see how many of the dead came from prison.

They differentiate between covid case in prison and outside prison.

Why not clarify deaths numbers.

I am not aware of any Covid fatalities in prison. The last I heard, only 63 inmates of 10,000 infected were symptomatic and hospitalized.

Priest Hospital has vaccinated about 500 monks in Bangkok, to enable them to receive daily alms and undertake merit-making activities, as the country battles its third and largest wave of COVID-19 infections.

 

Hospital deputy director Montchai Chumnumnavin said these activities are putting monks at risk, where they can come into contact with an infected person. The vaccinations will help to protect them from contracting the disease from devotees.

 

He said current vaccine supplies will not cover all of Thailand's estimated 200,000 monks. Mass inoculations are due to start next month, when domestic production of AstraZeneca's vaccine is expected to begin.

Interesting. I wonder if these numbers have been included in daily totals or will be. 6000 in the dormitory. This could be a massive outbreak.

Irony thread of the day:

 

 

It would seem the Chinese govt. can manage to do this... The U.S., U.K. and others, not so much...

 

 

It also seems that the slow rollout of the vaccines donated by China and then promising to be used on the Chinese nationals by Anutin was not done.  Another slap in the FACE.

Looks like the cluster numbers might be coming in but still hovering in the 2000's. These numbers should see Thailand at number 90 on the covid chart and fairly soon will crack the top 20 in weekly trends.

 

The reported numbers and thus the rankings are almost meaningless, but, by all means, continue to live a fantasy. ????

 

Let me know when their testing is up to par.

Japan’s Travel Advisory on Thailand

 

BANGKOK, May 21 (TNA) – The Japanese government advises its citizens not to visit Thailand due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in the country.

 

Tanee Sangrat, director-general of the Department of Information and spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, said that on May 18 Japan intensified its travel warning concerning seven countries including Thailand. Based on severer COVID-19 situations, the warning was escalated from level 2 (not paying a visit unless it is urgently necessary) to level 3 (not paying a visit).

 

The number of countries in the level 3 warning thus increased from 153 to 160.

This is what really matters, not thousands of asymptomatic cases which distort the stats.

Being braindead is the only way an answer like that can be explained away.

Japan has already excluded Thailand.

How long before Thailand is Red banded by other countries as it is clearly becoming out of control not just for spread but lies by the government suppressing the real figures. Can't be long, then that will screw their "opening up to tourists" fantasies.

When Thailand was 117 everday we were told how great Thailand was at 117. Guess it wasn't meaningless then. Now Thailand has completely screwed it up and is racing upwards which is not what a govt wants to see it becomes meaningless.
