The top four provinces have seen increased infections from yesterday:

I don't want it to get heavier at all - anything but; I'm desperately hoping schools will re-open as planned on 14 June.   I was just surprised that you think the current partial lockdown can be described as "heavy".  7-11 closing at 23.00 doesn't sound particularly heavy (ridiculous to close it all, I agree) and obviously I was referring to the current (non)-lockdown, which allows dining-in at restaurants.  

but the current dine in is only 25% restaurant capacity, so would not call it open as normal.

To me this is heavy restrictions, but could get more heavy. Point was it is not breezy and open.

BKK may feel different but towns like Pattaya are empty, locals leaving because no work and as they leave, even somtam sellers close doors.

 

Drive around town after midnight and its a ghost town in full darkness.

Thailand: the world's most stable outbreak. They might as well just report 2,419 everyday for the next year. Easier

Where in Thailand are you?  There are no "heavy" restrictions here in Bangkok.  Only bars, clubs, schools, gyms, pools and parks are closed.  Workplaces, public transport, shops and shopping malls, restaurants and cafes all remain open.   And, I'm no expert, but aren't the numbers going down?

It’s pretty heavy. Just not total.

 

not sure what numbers you are referring to. Makes it hard to comment

Yeah, I guess places like Pattaya are suffering much more than Bangkok.  I live and work right in the middle of Bangkok, near Siam, and life is pretty much near normal during the day, and the 25% restaurant capacity isn't always noticeable at some places, particularly at lunchtime when the office-workers have lunch.

 The overall Covid numbers for Thailand.

Going down? 
 

I guess prison cases are going down in so far as they appear to have cleared the back log of existing cases and now it’s a steady drip feed of daily cases.

 

but the overall cases in Thailand aren’t going down. They are slowly but steadily increasing. @BKK Brian posts a weekly average chart that shows just that. I’ll see if I can track down the last one posted if you need it.

@BKKBrian posted it earlier in this thread.  Cases have been steadily going down in the last week or so (unless I'm misreading it).

The scuttlebutt in Pattaya is some restrictions will be lifted on June 15, and maybe bars will open in some form on July 1.

I don’t think he posted the weekly average cases today. He did post the below daily case graph.

 

the issue with the daily graph is that it has noise from weekend slow reporting, which results in some days having big spikes. Clearly visible on the daily chart. The next big spike would normally be tomorrow.

 

the weekly average chart removes that daily noise. Regrettably I’m pretty sure that the last one posted showed a record number of cases in the last week.

 

I’ll see if I can find it, if not, he might post it again in this thread out of the goodness of his heart. 

 

[wensiensheng]

I see the UK shadow home secretary is in the print media and TV calling for Thailand and Vietnam to be put on the UK red list, because of the risk of UK travellers bringing back Covid variants such as the Thai/Egypt one and the Vietnam mutant ninja hybrid.

 

of course Thailand can counter by pointing to their advanced vaccination program and high percentage of population vaccinated.

 

unfortunately even the UK government is smart enough to see through it as total codswhallop.

Nobody make list from 40000 temples what happen inside there.

Some people being vaccinated today with AstraZeneca are reporting that the date of the second jab for them has been set as 27 September which is 16 weeks away. More than the recommended international guideline.

Phuket officials silent on expat vaccination registrations

 

PHUKET: More than two weeks after the Thai Ministry fo Foreign Affairs announced to the world in English that foreigners, and specifically expats and retirees staying the country, will from today (June 7) be able to register to receive a state-provided COVID-19 vaccination, Phuket officials have remained silent on whether or not expats living on the island may in fact register from today.

 

https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-officials-silent-on-expat-vaccination-registrations-80261.php

[anchadian]

More than 143,000 people were vaccinated across 986 centres by noon on the 1st day of the roll-out of Thai-made vaccines, said DDC's director general. They included 73,000 people 60+, 21,000 people suffering from 7 chronic diseases and 12,000 medical workers.

More than the manufacturer guidelines (6-8 weeks i believe), more than the extended period used by the UK to increase the speed of first jabs (12 weeks), but exactly in line with the 16 weeks that Anutin announced about a week ago.

 

I assume they are also getting 12 doses instead of 10 out of 1 vial.

 

it just all seems a tad tawdry. No idea as to the medical implications as I’m not a doctor.

 

 

[anchadian]

And so it continues:

 

A number of pre-registered vaccine recipients received phone calls late this morning (Monday), notifying them of the cancellation of their vaccination appointments, with no new appointment being made.

It's been reported that the case numbers are approx 2000 (+/- 500) for the last 60 days.

 

The numbers are clearly inaccurate. They go against every global trend. 

 

And you're correct, you aren't an expert and the numbers AREN'T going down.

Maybe thats why he wants to give them a 3rd vaccination to ensure it works.  What a joke....

[KhunMorris]

Daily numbers are irrelevant and without context.

 

Established first-world countries use 7-days trends and positivity percentages.

 

Thailand's figures are about as reliable as their voting system and election results.

You need to understand, they have factored in delays, cancelation,  postponements,  etc. so you should be good to get your jab in October like the rest of us.

I have registered 3 separate times on different sites and all have been canceled such as the original Mor Prom app, then the Vimut Hopsital facebook registration, then the local Government Hospital, and now this debacle of a registration that puts me back in time.  Gotta love Thailand, the land of hubs, and now a hub of cancelations.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administer reported a new cluster of Covid infections at a condominium construction site on Rama9 Rd. The active testing among 528 workers found that 347 people tested positive for Covid-19.
