Popular Post Danderman123 Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 These are terrible numbers. We’ll have to see the hospital walk-in admissions to see if hospitals have capped testing. There isn’t enough testing, and the vaccination campaign is insufficient. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 No more artifacts left, they've run out danderman, and its all new cases, high numbers in deaths daily and the daily covid deaths are now consistently more than the daily road accident deaths. Thailand now in full pandemic mode with no effective measures to halt the worsening spread of Delta Rolling 7 day average (up to 24th June only) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand 9 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a UK news analysis along these lines. In the UK the high and fast increasing infections are coming up against a wall of well vaccinated population... so hospital admissions are being held down. (Keeping the apparent Delta death rate very low). Thailand is well short of the right numbers and rate of vaccination for this...... not to mention the brands being used. 19 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dinsdale Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Over 4000 community transmissions. This is the most so far. Now I expect hundreds if not thousands or 10's of thousands will try to escape their impending covid caging. The spread is well and truly going to accelerate. 4000 is in actuality x5 or x10, who knows but it's bad. ICU basically full so 51 deaths may soon look like a low number.

Nice to see you admit that they are not true artifacts but anomalies that are not good at all. Testing here as I have been saying is filled with flaws, and if they would randomly test in the communities they might get ahead of this, however, they are not concerned it appears and only wish to lock down construction sites and workers camps. This is not just in those locations. Are they really that ignorant to see that they are only large areas, while there are plenty of smaller areas spreading outwards like tentacles. 9 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A villager from up our way was working in Bangkok and, suspecting he had Covid, tried to get a test at a number of hospitals but could not get one. He took it upon himself to drive back up north to Sakon Nakhon and reported straight to the hospital there, where he was tested and admitted straight away. Fortunately he knew rules and took all the right precautions and importantly, he did not come home to the village. From what we have heard from his family, he said the hospitals in Bangkok were all under pressure and simply didn't want to know him! 14 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post realfunster Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) The short-term trend (blue line) seems to have prominence over the medium-term trend (black line) as the likely trajectory. Today’s numbers (red x) are already above this short-term trend line, which is a worry! Edited June 26, 2021 by realfunster Typo 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
