That's about 7%. One can reasonably think that this percentage will get a lot bigger.

assuming they have only started testing recently many will have already had covid - that number could be much larger than 22k

In other words, it's impossible.

So the solution lies in the middle, attempting to keep the infections down with some form of lockdown, so that the health services can cope, and survive and not completely break down. I think that is what developed countries try to do. 

To do nothing I do not see as an option.

That's pretty much what everyone is doing until the vaccine gets out.

We are slowly opening up right now - 65 percent vaccinated.  Our ICUs are full but finally dropping.  It's a balancing act.  

When all is said and done with this pandemic our hindsight will be 20/20.

However, for anyone to claim that lockdowns like what we arae under are not necessary is so utterly outrageous and irresponsible, it boggles the mind.  Again, how many times does one have to be dropped on their heads not to get this?

I am rather disturbed by the politics I see in some countries of blame for deaths (as the issues subside). Mistakes were made, that is for sure and inevitable. There was little past experience and, well, who would be able to get it right in those dark early days.

Well..they had the catastrophic examples of the US,the UK and Brazil to chew upon and if that spectacular display of stupidity didn't change their minds then nothing will..

 

Some of the sentiments being expressed here (and ad nauseam) are left over rhetorical and ideological "bubble and squeak" from that period.

[mtls2005]

Wait.

 

Wut?

 

Have these figures been accounted for in the daily CCSA figures? 

 

Answering, yes, "over 20,000 mentioned yesterday", with the dail y figure of 1,294.

I completely agree.  

From where this started to where we are now it's completely changed.  I remember going to the grocery store and it was like a morgue with people frightened and fearful.  It's not like that now.  In a sense, we are living with our new lives trying to get the pandemic under control.  

Nobody can know where we were going and what we should have done, because we didn't know where we were going.  We were lost.  

I do blame governments for not ordering vaccines.  However, it's important to note that lots of countries simply cannot afford them.  It's very sad and people are in a bad state, much worse than Thailand.

Yeah, and the death rate in Thailand is a fraction of what is being reported in the western world, so it is pertinent... 

 

In case you haven't done the math, the death toll from covid in Thailand is a rounding error, 0.000001109% of the total population, yet many are losing their minds...  

Do you know what long term covid means? By the way your 0.000001109%=954 deaths. Couple of days this will be over 1,000 deaths most of which have been in the last couple of months.

As I have said before countries actually factor in these deaths. Covid deaths are viewed as extra. As for long covid and as it stands no-one actually knows how long term but straight from the net...

Long COVID is a range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 or can appear weeks after infection. Long COVID can happen to anyone who has had COVID-19, even if the illness was mild, or they had no symptoms.Apr 8, 2564 BE

By the way yes I am focusing on people dying from and being infected. Tell me that's a bad thing.

That is because the SUBJECT of this thread is the number of prisoners in THAILAND'S jails that have become infected with COVID 19

 

We all know the figures that you are trotting out because they are posted ad nauseam on this forum-all 17 thousand,four hundred and sixty four threads  thus far.

 

Now tell us just how the American alt-right wing laissez faire policies did under their intellectual giant of a president?

The 7% has just gone up with 2,702 new prisoner detections. All up 4,803 total for today's numbers.

Because only one of these afflictions is contagious and has the potential to kill millions. 
 

you complain that Covid isn’t dangerous because the lockdowns have been effective in stopping the spread, but then you complain about the lockdowns.

 

Speaking of numbers, what percent of Thais are murdered every year? Should we scrap the murder laws if the percent is low?

According to Veerakit Harnpariphan, deputy director general of the Department of Corrections under the Thai Ministry of Justice, a total of 22,101 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 in 15 prisons located in the capital Bangkok and other areas.

So basically no screening was done at all for the last year?

None whatsover.

 

In 2019 and early 2020 the American Alt-right wing was riding high.

They had engineered a trade war with China which they are still endeavouring to pursue-Sinovac,Sinopharm anybody?

 

They had a totally discombulated inhabitant in the White House who seemed to have a good chance of being re-elected who would continue their Laissez Faire dualistic/binary political philosophies-diplomatic,economic,immigration and social.

 

Their only response to Covid 19 was ideological mouse dung.

 

And so...it all went down hill from there..endlessly posting on numerous forums....

As I understand it there are something like 143 prisons nationwide. 15 screened so far if this article is correct (presumably the largest ones). So still far to go. We may continue to see this sort of report for some time to come.
