Its in Chonburi, Pattaya is in Chonburi and the reason for the big numbers today is because of a community outbreak in a market. As much as you like to divide Provinces up to sub districts and cities, you may as well go the whole hog and divide Pattaya into soi's. The virus does not respect boundaries. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventenio Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Despite feeling GOOD, went with the wife last week and got tested. It was over 1,000 baht but less than 1,500......forget exactly. You know how it is......wife hears stuff, gets a little paranoid, and worries until I give her peace of mind. of course negative. anyone else get tested? how much was it? I knew it was negative when the lady giving me my results got a little close with the results.....she wasn't worried. lol I did get within 2 meters of someone last night while shopping. but i won't get tested again. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spikes are around weekends. We’ll see if the numbers decline sharply tomorrow. the point is that a big drop tomorrow tells us that today’s numbers are an artifact, but similar or higher numbers tomorrow tell us that this wave is getting much worse. I am asking the Doom and Gloomers not to waste our time with dire predictions until and unless this is shown not to be an artifact. Yes, the government response has been poor, particularly concerning vaccine procurement. Yes, there is not enough testing.

While some on here always yawn when we mention the lack of appropriate testing, Thailand's Royal College of Physicians is also urging the government to increase it. "The government must undertake pro-active all-encompassing screenings, particularly in high-risk areas, such as markets, factories and construction worker housing facilities across the country, and impose lockdowns in areas of cluster infections." 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is making predictions, I only see posters on here warning of the consequences of a further increase in numbers, a natural and logical assumption. One that would be based on all reasonable risk assessments. Whether it increases or decreases tomorrow does not matter, the trend is now clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the new normal, Covid is not going away. Sixty percent of the UK adult population is double vaccinated..... be realistic, just over half. Yes over 80% have had a single jab, but we deal now with the Delta variant and 2 jabs is what is needed. I am worried for Thailand now.

Nah I'll try to refrain from guessing that one as the whole Thai process has way too much opacity at the moment in keeping with their 104th ranking for transparency and corruption just like their vaccine roll out prioritising the elderly and vulnerable then rushing the vaccines to the Phuket money machine.

Nobody expects international tourism to return to 100% in 2021. The expectation by the government is for relatively small numbers of tourists after October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
