There is sometimes a spike for Tuesday’s numbers due to pileups of lab tests over the weekend. There is a good chance that tomorrow’s numbers will be significantly lower. It's also a great indicator of the Thai daily upper testing\confirmation limits which appear to be at about 2500\day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thailand’s Department of Medical Services (DMS) is warning of false positive COVID-19 test results by private laboratories, as many factories and organizations are currently using these laboratories for the screening of new employees. DMS Director-General Dr. Somsak Akkasilp said the department’s 1668 hotline is now being overwhelmed by people asking for hospital beds, after testing positive for COVID-19 in these private labs. These positive results could be false, as these labs often use the rapid test or antigen test method, which is cheaper than the standardized RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) type and inferior in terms of accuracy. He explained that the 1668 hotline can only assign hospital beds to patients who have a confirmed positive result using the RT-PCR method. Patients who do not have one will need to be tested again. This eventually delays their hospitalization, which could affect the overall prognosis. https://www.facebook.com/nbtworld/posts/10158098571142050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, there's not much left that is still closed down. For me (as you know) it's schools, but it seems they will re-open next month (too late for my kid as he will be on summer holidays), and then the bars/clubs which I suspect will be the last places to re-open, which is a great shame for all those involved in the hospitality/entertainment business. I would never say that the Covid situation is "great", but I still think that relatively speaking the numbers in Thailand are low (especially fatalities) and that the continual relaxing of the restrictions that we are seeing will do more good than harm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope thai people don’t get numb to the fact that a minimum of 500k is what they need to achieve each day, and for every day that they don’t, the amount goes up for succeeding days. it’s got all the attributes of a project way off the rails atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommysboy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Only a complete lockdown right now can prevent a major disaster in the making. The virus is not known for anything other than rapid contagion and exponential growth. Of even more concern is the emergence of the SA variant, which will impact on the effectiveness of vaccines, perhaps especially the AZ jab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it passes a certain amount of cases they can't do the contact tracing properly and things get out of hand like in BKK.

By a "complete lockdown", do you mean not allowing anyone in the country to leave their home for any reason except to buy food? I don't think even Thailand's government could ever pull off or get away with such a Chinese Communist style restriction of people's liberties! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
