Thailand on Monday (June 14) reported 3,355 new COVID-19 cases and 17 additional deaths.


● 2,571 new infections
● 784 prison / prison infections

 

Monday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 199,264 with 1,466 deaths.
(Total infections since April 1: 170,401)

The news comes as Rural Doctors Society is demanding that the government, and the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), tell the truth about the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and whether there are enough to meet current vaccination appointments.

I guess the Bangkok Governor doesn’t have a Facebook account and so didn’t see the PM’s order to reopen public parks as well as museums, beauty clinics, tattoo shops/nail salons & foot massage parlours. Or is he upset that the PM rescinded his order 2 weeks ago? @mrinaldawar

Unfortunately, the increased number of hospital walk-in cases is pointing towards an increase in overall cases over the next few days. 

It's only going to continue to worsen unless there is a proper and total lockdown of the affected areas for a longer period of time until the majority are vaccinated.

 

I don't see any social distancing being practiced anywhere here in Chonburi; at open air wet markets especially people show almost total disregard for any COVID-19 preventative measures. 

Lower deaths again today which can only be good news but is this due to its new deaths from covid policy?

 

If so then its under counting much like its under counting of road deaths where they only classify a death on the scene and not if they die in hospital later due to the injury.

It seems the locals think its all back to normal, recipe for disaster.

at least they arn't getting turned away like the 1st and 2nd waves

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is giving an interview on MCot saying there should be no vaccine shortages. 500,000 more vaccines will go to BMA this week, he said. #whatshappeninginThailand

 

·https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1404248596183097345

 

Anutin adds that the shortages come from administration that didn’t plan accordingly. MOPH told BMA the number of vaccines they would receive for the month of June, they must plan to administer correctly.

Delta variant is now on the march. 

 

Unless Thailand starts testing more..........with less penalty for being found positive.......then the Delta variant will overrun Thailand.

 

Time for mass testing now, stop trying to hide it, the Delta variant is not like others, it spreads fast and easily and unless you block it, you are in trouble before too long.

 

Allow people to isolate at home......encourage them to get tested.......only way now to stop a massive wave happening.

Yet more cancellations.

 

Bangkok postpones Covid jabs for registrants via Thai Ruam Jai

The all important death rate continues to decline thank Buddha.

 

Despite all the Negative Nancys and Doomsday Debbie's posting here everyday I am getting more optimistic that the Thais yet again have pulled off a near miracle with the handling of this British variant wave than killed hundreds of thousands of people in other countries. 

 

We are not out of the woods yet, but the exponential growth that we saw in Europe and especially England hasn't occurred and looking like it won't.

 

I would like to thank the Thais for keeping us alive and would also like to take a moment to remember the over 2,000 Thais that sadly died from covid in Europe and the USA that were not so lucky.

 

RIP

I agree with your post. In particular I would not like to be tested given that the current policy means you could be off to cardboard bed.

 I dont think the numbers in Chonburi warrant anymore closures of businesses.

So is the PM taking your advice ? ????

With all of the controls in place, why are these numbers still hovering around 2000? They should just accept it and open the restaurants and bars with strick mask control, seating arrangements and cleaning.  Alcohol can be served with strict limits.

 

These numbers will not go down until there is massive ramp up of vaccinations for the BKK and other provinces.

 

Learn from Europe and USA.  We screwed up, but are now ready to return to normal.  Whatever normal is these days.

Did you read that over to yourself a few times? I ask because that cannot work. Have you ever been to a bar. They don't work well with masks.

If those are the actual numbers then I would agree which is why I said "a proper and total lockdown of the affected areas for a longer period of time".

 

But as I also stated, if social distancing and other measures not observed then the problem will continue to worsen and resurface at least until the majority are vaccinated. 

Deaths. 9-10 June: 78, average 39 p/d. 11-12 June: 56, average 28 p/d. 13-14 June 35, average 17/18 p/d. It's a miracle. More than a 50% reduction in 6 days. Average deaths per day for the last month is 30. Still close to an overall 50% reduction in 2 days. How is this possible? If they were using something new to achieve this we would all be hearing about it and to that there is no doubt.

With the increasing numbers and reports up to 80% are asymptomatic wouldn't it be more like 10,000 a day? The majority walking around infected having no idea?

And due to the new variants as the natural cycle of viruses become less dangerous, I confirm this is good news

I think we are in for a period of somewhat higher daily case numbers. 

Just now, Danderman123 said:

Why do you think that ? Just wondering as your previous posts have had tendency to downplay the testing regime here.  So do you think it is a case that there will be more accurate reporting that will allow actual cases numbers to be notified as a continuing upward trend or do you think it is because that although the testing numbers are hardly increasing, the transmissibility due to say the delta variant is starting to have an effect ?

I hope you are wrong and it is the death count that is all important.

 

I don't think any of us one month ago would have predicted so a low death number.

Do not make false implications, things are not the same everywhere in the province and certainly not as they were.

The Society for Online News Providers (SONP) has launched a new campaign called “Save Thai 2021”, aiming to use online news channels to provide complete, accurate and reliable information to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The SONP said the initiative will strive to minimize public confusion and misunderstanding and will help Thais overcome this crisis together, with reliable information and content beneficial to the public. Under the campaign, members of the SONP will set up a special page for all COVID-19 related news on their platforms.

 

The page will contain the latest news and updates relating to COVID-19 from all sources, including daily updates on infections in Thailand and ASEAN, as well as inoculation rates, recovery rates and death tolls, and news and updates produced by a joint editorial group, comprising editors from members of the SONP.

Bangkok postpones Covid jabs for registrants via Thai Ruam Jai

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) on Monday postponed Covid-19 vaccination for people who have registered via Thai Ruam Jai website from June 15.

 

https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40001999

But Anutin said they can not postpone, oh bother..who to believe.

 

National embarrassment continues with public spat between MOPH and BMA

 

The public feud between the public health ministry and the Bangkok governor’s office continued this weekend with both government organizations making public statements disparaging one another.

 

The spat comes after the postponement this weekend of vaccinations in Bangkok. Private hospitals, which have been helping the government to administer the vaccines, sent messages and called patients registered through the government’s system to tell them that there would be a delay due to shortages.

 

The shortages prompted widespread criticism of the government and accusations that the vaccination registration system was inefficient and prioritized the wrong people.
