Right now, mass testing is confined to clusters in Bangkok. And yes, some of the clusters are bad. But that’s just the clusters, not all of Bangkok. as a sanity test, we will see how the numbers of the general population evolve over the next days. I foresee a random walk, up and down movement along a narrow range. i won’t ask you about your prediction, since you will refer me to a post you made last Wednesday. But since you always disagree with my predictions, if I am right, then by default you are wrong. Of course, you will evoke the prison numbers, if the general population figures continue to flatline.

Who ever said the whole of Bangkok was bad, it does not have to be bad in every single soi, community and district? London as a comparison when it was at its worst, there were plenty of districts that showing 1% positivity while others showing 10 - 20%. Yet it was ravaged. Bangkok is in a very serious position right now. You've repeatably stated that the situation has peaked and have been continuing that stance for over 3 weeks. Yet its proved time and time again just how wrong you are, how many community infections today? Oh new peak by any chance? "2,992" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the key metric is hospital walk-ins. We’ll see that number later today. Prison numbers don’t have a trend, it depends on which prisons they test on a given day. Same with mass testing in clusters, it depends on if they test a hot cluster or not. The threat is that the number of clusters exceeds their ability to test and treat, which is identified via hospital walk-ins. I suspect that 3,000 walk-ins in a single day would tell us that the wave is out of control and that hospitals will be over run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some weird logic right there. So you go ahead and make your predictions, if your right then I'm wrong despite me not making a prediction. ????

BKKBike09 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Danderman123 said: So, what is your risk assessment? There's a lot of Covid in Thailand. On basis of experience in UK, USA etc, vaccines should make a huge difference to numbers of people getting very sick and dying. General levels of Covid testing in Thailand are still too low to be effective in determining true extent of spread. So - my risk assessment? Take reasonable precautions if you're over 50 but otherwise don't obsess about the daily stats "yesterday was 2200, today it's 2345, it's up! Panic!". Individual risk of getting seriously ill or dying is low. Amen. Or สาธุ since we're in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could list all the reasons why they've done well, but frankly getting tired of it. Here's a few - relatively tight border control, face masks from onset, effective contact tracing and one million health volunteers "Relatively tight border control"??? Tight as a duck's proverbial for air arrivals, pathetically inadequate as far as the natural borders are concerned. To be fair to the Thai authorities, it's a huge challenge to police those borders, but it isn't helped by corruption to facilitate entry of illegal migrant workers for seafood processing, agribusiness and construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post atpeace Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Just talked to my ex-wife and she told me Buriram is vaccinating foreigners as well as Thais. She has helped a few foreigners enroll and today they received the first shot. Not all doom and gloom. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
