Thailand on Wednesday (June 23) reported 3,174 new COVID-19 cases and 51 additional deaths over the past 24 hours. 

 

● 3,138 new infections
● 36 prison / prison infections

 


Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 228,539 with 1,744 deaths.
(Total infections since April 1: 199,676)
 
The news comes as Thailand’s cabinet has confirmed that Phuket will reopen to fully vaccinated tourists on July 1st, under the “Phuket Sandbox” project, as planned. Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, in Surat Thani province, will follow a similar model on July 15th, said Government spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri.

Another very high day of positive cases, the upward trend continues and an all time high of 51 dead from covid. Critical care hospital beds in all state hospitals in Bangkok are now full. The situation worsening on all counts, its just not looking good.

 

 

Rolling 7 day average (up to 21st June only) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases.

So yesterday’s spike was probably just an artifact of the weekend shortfall in processing lab tests. 
 

As I told you yesterday.

 

But, a “normal” level of 3,000 cases a day is not good at all.

Allow me to doubt that. 

[dinsdale]

Still over 3000 infections and what I think is a record number of deaths. Are infection numbers now going to bounce around in the 3k mark. Beginning of April bouncing in the low to mid 1K. Mid April to a week ago bouncing in 2K and now seems to be 3k. If this continues it's into the 4K. Of course this depends on testing. BP reporting that state run critical care beds for critical covid cases are full. Expect the death rate to stay high.

Your prediction of a month ago that cases would steadily decline because, as you claimed, an "inflection point" had been reached in late April has proved entirely wrong.

 

[ThailandRyan]

Waiting on the Artifact statement for yesterdays figures to be posted.  The 51 deaths are a new ATH, and one that is definitely worrying.  Looks like we are staying now in the 3k range as discussed a few days ago.  As I wrote on another OP I have observed more Covid ambulance crews around my neighborhood here in Sathorn picking up folks.  Tomorrow I will obtain my first AZ vaccination and I hope to hell it provides some protection.  Stay safe folks.  Waiting also to see a report in any of the papers on the status of the hospital bed situation and what the field hospitals look like as far as patients.  On top of that I wonder how many are in the CCU's and ICU's and how many beds are available for those needing critical care.  

 

*looks like the artifact statement was made at the same time I posted....lol

I said that cases were declining since late April. I am sorry that stating the actual numbers irritates you. 

 

Now cases are rising. I guess 6 months from now when the wave is over, you will slam me for stating today that cases are rising.

Yes, there was a drop of 1,000 cases, as I suspected would happen.

Interestingly if you look at the above bar chart posted by BKK Brian re: community infections what do you notice about the spikes. Each one is greater than the previous. If this holds true the next one will be greater than yesterday's. Doesn't matter what you say you cannot disagree that the trend is up.

Can you show me a graph where the cases in late April were declining please.

Look how many posters here disagreed with me yesterday. 

[DrJack54]

Can someone explain prison numbers.

There is a LOT of people currently incarcerated. Only 36 new cases? 

BTW how many folk are in the prison system.

I would like to know how many of these deaths are because of the flu and not the corona virus.

They Relied on Chinese Vaccines. Now They’re Battling Outbreaks

 

More than 90 countries are using Covid shots from China. Experts say recent infections in those places should serve as a cautionary tale in the global effort to fight the disease.

There is a formal process for determining cause of death in each jurisdiction. I can assure you that deaths from Covid-19 are typically undercounted due to death certificate requirements.

There are some 300,000 people in Thai prisons. Probably all of them have been exposed to the virus. They may get a test once.

The death count today is presumably reflecting the jump to a higher plateau of cases from 2/3 weeks ago. Say, about 2,500 case count. So unfortunately there may be another hike in deaths to come in a couple of weeks time.

I think he means the normal everyday flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, etc, that magically disappeared in 2020?

[Marvin Hagler]

This is the tip of the iceberg.

 

We are witnessing Thainess on an epic scale...complete and utter denial of reality whilst hoping it will all go away of its own accord.

Where did I imply that they are mass testing or not.

If the #36 came from inmates presenting with symptoms then fine. Still seems a low number given the numbers in prison and their extremely close proximity
