Okay, if I can’t compare Thailand to other countries, and I can’t compare current infections to the overall population, then I got nothing. You win.

 

One death means the government is doing a terrible job, compared to nothing.

Don't spit the dummy mate. I'm just saying the focus is on now. What is happening now. And Thailand now aint lookin' so great.

It is not often you say anything that is of any worth but finally I think you have grasped what is happening and your post above is noteworthy as it is logical. One point I will make though is that there is so little random testing going on across the nation as a whole so  the 4000 figure has no doubt already been exceeded in reality.

Which is why prisons  show  huge  increases  because  they are testing in them way more than outside.

And yet, that could what has stopped Thailand from having 100,000+ deaths, like in the UK.

Maybe, maybe not. It's definitely a could.  

Vaccine doses given as of Saturday, most recent day totals and then cumulative totals for first and second doses.

Oh I don't agree. It has merit in an environment of not many infections and keeping it that way.

Yeah I guess as long as you don't mind overwhelming every hospital, hospitel, and field hospital with people who for the most part may only be asymptomatic. If you have the room and the facilities sure that system may have some merit.  Does Thailand have that?

It's problem with forums like this and the internet in general we have gone from individual opinions to people whose sole purpose is trying to tell you your wrong if you don't agree with every single thing they say.

  Healthy debate is all out the window everything has to be black and white, right or wrong.

Well we're not talking are we..do you think before writing precious?

Today there are 34 deaths in #Thailand:

Median age is 66 (35-87 years)

Most deaths in Bangkok (21), Pathum Thani (2), Chiang Rai (2) Samut Prakan (2), plus 7 provinces with one each.

16 infected from family

Three provinces in Thailand -- Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Nonthaburi -- reported more than 100 new COVID cases on Saturday.

 

At the same time, 58 of Thailand's 77 provinces reported 10 or fewer cases -- 30 provinces with one to 10 cases, and 28 provinces with no cases at all.

Why you've already got it...lol the problem is locking every single person up that gives a positive test. Probably the most ridiculous covid response in the whole world.

 

Whether it is or isn't has nothing to do with my post and your response to it.

 

Of the 2,050 local cases (excluding the cases in prisons and imported cases), the highest numbers by province were 1,054 in Bangkok followed by 215 in Samut Prakan, 186 in Nonthaburi, 80 in Chonburi and 65 in Pathum Thani. #โควิด19 #โควิด19วันนี้ #WhatsHappeningInThailand

Whereas the Ministry of Public Health has been relatively timely in reporting new COVID cases found among the general public, Thailand’s corrections officials thus far in the pandemic have tended to combine days or weeks of test results and then bulk report them on single days, skewing the daily reporting statistics.

I cannot think for a second why they would do that.

Daily update for Bangkok province -- 1,054 new COVID cases, 39,463 total since April 1, and 21 new deaths for the day and a total of 436 during the same period of Thailand's third wave COVID outbreak.

 

 

The Ministry of Public Health also released a graphic showing a still growing number of COVID clusters, 47 in total, with 37 of those (the red columns below) not yet considered under control with those spread over 27 geographic areas.  Though a government spokesman said almost 80 percent of the new COVID cases reported Saturday came from Bangkok and five adjoining provinces.

On the 13th January 2020 Thailand reported it's first case of Covid.  By then it was already here so your points regarding the Chinese are totally worthless.

“I said on this site over a year ago that the wuhan tourists were bringing the covid virus to thailand for months after other countries had closed the borders. ”

This is the post I was responding to.

This 1421 found via tests at medical facilities is a little higher than normal.

If we hit 4K outside of the prisons, then this wave will continue until vaccinations hit 70%, which is effectively forever.

 

Could you please explain why you consider 4,000 to be the road to nightmare but 2,000 is okay?  What happens between 2,000 and 4,000 that leads you to think numbers of new cases will fall if starting from 2,000 but escape control if starting from 4,000?

From the reported outbreak date in China till the last Chinese tourist leaving in Feb '20 about 100,000 Chinese flew into Thailand from Wuhan alone. 

That’s a good trick, given that Wuhan airport closed on January 23 2020.

 

”On 23 January 2020, the central government of China imposed a lockdown in Wuhan and other cities in Hubei in an effort to quarantine the center of an outbreakof coronavirus disease 2019 ” - Wikipedia 

Four new clusters were found in the past 24 hours including the ones at a public university in Maha Sarakham, a shoe factory in Phetchaburi, a worker community in Chonburi and a medical glove factory in Trang.

 

https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1398518211591643138

 

Of the 43 active clusters in Bangkok, 15 were found in construction-worker camps, 12 around markets and shopping centres, seven in crowded communities, six at businesses, two at care homes and one at an embassy.

Any significant increase in new infections at this stage is bad news.

Sure, but only because the bad news is already here.

Almost correct but still alot.

 

February 7, 2020: 2,038 who came from the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, and 91,688 from Guangzhou, which is close to Wuhan
