If you want to highlight your point then underline it thanks. As for almost 100% of the current infections and deaths being avoidable. Yep. Total lockdown after Thong Lor outbreak, no interprovincial travel, borders shut tight and definitely no Songkran and massive amounts of testing. The situation we have now would not exist. All the strains (UK, India, S.Africa) we have now are far more virulent. They would have spread anyway, not at the current extent I'll give you that, but 100% avoidable is a ridiculous statement to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Bangkok province report for the day: 894 new cases, 26 new deaths, and 37,436 total cases since the start of the current third wave COVID outbreak at the beginning of April. Bangkok's 894 new cases reported Thursday was the province's second lowest daily total of the past week. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/333401381611526 The graphic below shows the daily new case totals for (in line-by-line order on the chart) Thailand's total domestic cases, then the subtotals for Bangkok province and prison cases.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The government's English language COVID news briefing for the day has concluded, once again, with no new or specific information about the promised June 7 launch of vaccine registrations for foreign nationals. That means, no information about what hospitals or medical centers in any of the provinces will be participating in that program, and regarding Bangkok, no comment on why one of the two designated vaccination centers for foreign nationals, Vimut Hospital, had suddenly closed vaccine pre-registrations, just days after first opening them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean this to be a sarcastic question. I'm trying genuinely to understand your perspective. Actually, late April, when new infections stopped spiking up. I expect to see the overall infection rate -outside of prisons and hotspots - continue to slowly decrease. The key metric for me are positive cases from hospital walk-ins, the blue bars in the daily charts (as long as the methodology for that chart doesn’t change).

Thailand uses a different methodology for identifying hotspots, as I have explained before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the opposite, a couple thousand new infections every day are inevitably going to lead to double digit fatalities for weeks to come. As for specific hotspots being eliminated, you would have to compare the reports from 2 or 3 weeks ago to today.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The spate of 1,219 new prison cases reported Thursday meant Thailand's total number of new COVID cases (3,323) exceeded the 3,000 mark for the fifth time in the past seven days. But the outlook was better in terms of general population cases only, where Thursday's 2,104 tally was the second lowest daily total of the past week, even though it broke a three-day streak of declines and increased from Wednesday's 1,976 daily total. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/333401381611526 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t claim to have any insight into why Thailand’s case infection rate was previously so low, nor why it is climbing now.
