Popular Post James105 Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 1 hour ago, wensiensheng said: You had better produce a chart showing the trajectory of UK cases during the country’s period of lock down and show that the case count was higher at the end of it, than at the beginning. you’re going to be hard pushed to do that, but go ahead and try. If you can’t, there is no debate necessary, you are just plain wrong and the facts show it. The lockdown started on 5th November and whilst its not as simple as that as there were tiered restrictions in different parts of the UK the cases went up from there peaking in January and sharply declining in March which (and this could be a coincidence) is in line with when other seasonal viruses decline. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/timeline-lockdown-web.pdf Also, states in the US without lockdowns have fared no differently to states that pursued hard lockdowns. Also Peru. Whether you choose to believe that the lockdowns were the "cause" of this decline (despite peaking during lockdown) or whether other factors (seasonality) were relevant is entirely up to you. To have such a belief in lockdowns despite contrary evidence is quite baffling to me, but considering the human capacity to believe in religion it's not overly surprising. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Asymptomatic patients to isolate at home, save hospital beds A “home isolation” programme will mitigate the shortage of hospital beds for severe Covid cases in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, the Department of Medical Services (DMS) said on Monday. The programme will see younger patients with mild or no symptoms sent home instead of held in medical facilities, as has been the procedure until now. The beds made available are to be converted to care for very ill patients. No start date was given. “There are many infected people who are waiting for hospital beds at home,” said Dr Somsak Akksilp, the DMS’s director-general. He said beds in intensive care unit (ICU) at hospitals in Bangkok and surrounding provinces are now 90 per cent full. https://www.thaienquirer.com/29042/asymptomatic-patients-to-isolate-at-home-save-hospital-beds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, wensiensheng said: So you have flipped from a statement that the range of cases in Thailand has been 3k to 5k for several months, to suddenly talking about exponential growth. that wouldn’t be because the chart of thai Covid cases shows that a level of 3k cases was only reached a couple of weeks ago and before that was hovering around 2k cases for quite some time, is it? So your original statement was nonsense. but congratulations on the denderesque scale of your deflection. I will let others talk to you about exponential growth, the point I made about the inaccuracy of your comment on the range of Thai Covid cases over the last several months, appears proven by your sudden desire to talk about something else. The COVID-19 situation has turned increasingly serious since April, when the third wave of infections hit. Thousands of new cases and dozens of deaths have been recorded each day. As of June 27, COVID-19 has infected 244,447 people in Thailand and killed 1,912 of them. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/sandbox-or-quicksand-thailand-on-edge-as-phuket-prepares-to-welcome-back-foreign-tourists/ You can post all you want about exponential spread of the virus, and how serious the current situation is, but the facts show otherwise: a virus borne illness with a 0.0078217364 or < 1% mortality rate (since April for Thailand).

Do only deaths count not months of revalidation and other bad stuff ? Why is it that you seem to ignore long covid and look at it so black and white.. " dead is the only bad outcome ignoring the other bad effects" Is it because it suits your agenda better to act like its all ok ? or do you really not know that the other effects are bad too and have a far higher occurrence rate. I mean a few weeks on an ICU and then recovering and then a few months revalidation is not a problem ? I mean you don't count those at all or even mention them. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/news/coronavirus-and-your-health/long-covid 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the goal posts again Still can't back up your claims that lockdowns don't work, oh wait the decreases are due to seasonal changes. Evidence to that effect? The science of social distancing, the primary reason for a lockdown is not science it is faith/religion, really, evidence of that? Carry on with your nonsense it really does display your own ignorance and complete dismissal of science, a subject you obviously did poorly in at school. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GroveHillWanderer Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: Healthy people don't test positive for Covid, they are still carriers and can infect others. Ergo why Thailand does it their way. I think you're getting the fact that you can appear healthy while asymptomatic and still spread the disease, confused with the idea that an asymptomatic spreader doesn't have CoViD-19. Appearing healthy because you have no visible symptoms, doesn't mean you won't test positive for CoViD-19. Unless it's at such a low level that it's undetectable (which probably means you won't be shedding enough virus to spread it anyway) you will still test positive for the disease even though you're asymptomatic. In fact that's pretty much the definition of asymptomatic - it means having a disease while not showing any outward signs of it.

Concern yes...panic no. Have you lost track of who posted what? your initial post mentioned “exponential”. I said nothing about that, I took issue with you saying that cases have been in a 3k to 5k range for several months. In case you can’t keep track, here is what I said. “Can you provide some numbers to back that up. I don’t recall numbers as high as 5k before, other than on two days when prison cases were dumped. And also don’t recall cases of 4K other than the last week. Prior to that I don’t recall cases of 3k for anything other than a couple of weeks. are you seriously saying that cases haven’t been steadily rising, despite the shortfall in testing? And check out the 7 day rolling average chart. See anything there that says cases arent rapidly rising?” do you see any mention of exponential in my post? No, there isn’t. Rising rapidly, which I do say, is not exponential. And cases have been rising rapidly, that is clear from the 7 day rolling average chart. now you start talking about mortality rates. That isn’t in any of my posts, nor your previous posts for that matter. you are making yourself look rather silly. Just acknowledge that your initial assertion that cases have been in a range of 3k to 5k for several months, is not borne out by the charts that are readily available to everyone, and we are good. If you want to waffle on about exponential rises and mortality rates, talk to someone else. They aren’t what I am talking about with you. and please don’t post random links to the Phuket sandbox that have little to do with the topic to hand. That was childish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
