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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not treat foreign residents as humans, like Thais, and allocate vaccines according to need, not nationality.

And the 63 number you refer to was back when the total was only 10,000+, and it was the number then in serious condition...not the number hospitalized. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 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. #PriestHospital #vaccine #monk #bangkok #COVID19 #ข่าวด่วน #โรงพยาบาลสงฆ์ #วัคซีน #พระ #กรุงเทพฯ #โควิด19 https://www.facebook.com/nbtworld/posts/10158029892877050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dinsdale Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 This is from an Australian State with just under 1.8 million population. Basically Thailand has just under 70 times the population and has carried out about 8 times the tests. New cases today 1 Active cases 7 Total cases 747 (overseas aquired 560) Patients in hospital 2 Patients in ICU 0 Recovered 736 Deaths 4 (total) Tests yesterday 3,875 Total tests 1,330,943 These figures are from 20/05/21. The situation is under control in part because of massive testing and strict lockdowns which is the opposite of here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to lock one group in then they should lock all groups regardless of nationality inside the dorms and factories.

anchadian Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 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. https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-701071 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
