Staying in that 2000+ case range still, now adding in more clusters popping up.  They need to get out ahead of these clusters at all these factories, markets, and businesses.

New clusters daily, new large factory hotspots, staff told to isolate at home, numbers in same range, testing in same range, same same and it goes on and on with its devastating effects to the country and those living here.

Continuing as I have said like that piece of string that never see's an end to it unfortunately.  I guess it is just to much to ask that they spend some coin and start in a wide circle circumference and testing the areas on the outside and then working their way back in.

So now the news will be so many people have been inoculated per day, day in, day out, for 365 days a year until everyone is vaccinated ?

IMO they are refusing to test to keep the numbers hidden, places like factories Malls etc that have outbreaks they just either lock (quarantine) everyone inside and remove those that are sick and need treatment or shut the place down (Malls) and order all to quarantine - most are left untested and uncounted - that goes for the prisons as well - there could be an argument for this approach but it makes their daily figures pointless and not reflecting the true extent of the spread - primary reason for doing this - it makes them look good

Not related directly, it is the GF's ex and his family.  They have now been cleared after tests were taken in their residence on Sunday morning and the wife returned after being in the hospital for over a month.  Hits pretty close to home when extended non-visited extended family is involved.

they won't do it - it would mean (based on current strategy) they would have to force all those detected positive into a quaratine center - there are not enough spaces to do that, so like me and many others have been saying for a long time - don't test nothing to report even though they know fine well the spread is much larger than they want to admit to 

I predicted from the beginning of this outbreak that they would reach a threshold of daily cases and that the number wouldn’t change thereafter...and this is exactly the situation we have now.

 

They either cannot or will not test more people. So they are stuck at testing x amount of people per day which yields x amount of positives.

 

Surely even the staunchest junta huggers can see this?

My guess is somewhere between a 5-10% infection rate (average) from very limited testing. 20,000 tests around 10%, 40,000 tests around 5% or 30,000 tests around 7.5%. Conjecture of course as testing figures seem to now be a state secret. There seems to be no info after April 24.

Yep. They can no longer say that the WHO is saying how great Thailand is going. Those days well and truly finished in mid-late April.

Don’t be silly. This is a vaccination crackdown. Two weeks max and you’ll never hear of it again. ????

Confused that it is the daily image of Covid figures for Chonburi using the Thai Language as we do live in Thailand?

There’s no big spike in cases today. There is normally one after the weekend. 
 

it’s possible the country might have hit a peak a few days ago. Not necessarily in the 3rd wave, but in identified cases. Possibly the number continues to slowly drop away or discovery of a couple of big clusters pushes it back up.

 

the cynic in me says there maybe some number manipulation to try to marry mass vaccinations news with falling case numbers, so as to bring happiness to the people. But there is no hard evidence of that.

 

as usual, we will see.

As you can see Tuesdays are always almost the lowest numbers of cases, but numbers are rising compared to last month

There is a real need to increase testing, specially in locations that have been prone to outbreaks in the past.

However this is Thailand, and the chances of the Government spending any more on testing is Nil.

All these new " Clusters ", which in reality are just the same outbreak, makes me wonder if all the " Home Isolation " people and the workers confined to their Factories, are added into the Daily figures.

There seem to be a lot of new outbreaks on a Daily basis, yet there are no more than the predictable 2000 ish number of new cases every Day

Tbh, other than 18 May, I’m not really seeing Tuesday figures as the lowest in that chart.

 

edit: the community chart.

So the numbers are dropping before the mass inoculations, hmmm, who would have thought that ?

Multiple posts about Ivermectin have been split off into a separate topic here.

In exceptional circumstances the moderation team will allow some Thai text to be posted.

 

In the case of this graphic, it is quite easy to see that the takeaway is the number of reported cases per day. This information is of sufficient regional and national importance to allow its continued inclusion in this topic.

 

In my opinion the daily covid topic is extremely important to members of the community as it provides a regular briefing and a commentary that is both factual and reliable.

 

Great credit should go to all members who participate in the discussion. You do not always hold the same opinions, but you debate your positions well and in doing so you provide the reader different angles to consider.

Understood. 

Chonburi active testing going down, only 487 people were tested in proactive testing yesterday when it used to be over the 1,000 mark daily. Mind you thats better than Phuket who seem to have given up altogether.

Every country that is doing vaccinations, is publishing daily totals. Why should Thailand do any different?
