Thailand reports 6,519 new COVID-19 cases, 54 more deaths

[Bkk Brian]

Over the last week, there has been an average of 5,981 COVID-19 cases per day. There were sadly 54 deaths reported today. With record number of people in ICU and on ventilators, this is only going to get worse. Anyone in the red zones should #StayHome to help stop the spread.

What are the odds of tomorrow's figure being between 5500-7000

 

Wish I could bet on this sort of thing

You can.  I would act as your bookmaker.

What you see in the daily reports is what the Grubbyment wants you to see and nothing else and where does it mention these backlogs you keep talking about?

There are days when the number of positive lab tests are very low, followed by days when the number of positive lab tests are very high. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand why.

 

By the way, what you are saying is that the daily numbers are an artifact, what the government wants you to see.

New daily record of community infections. Up it goes. As for fourth wave well this is just deflection. The so-called third wave started mid-April and we all know why and has continued on an upward trajectory. It's still the third wave. This would have to be brought completely under control before another wave can be called a fourth wave.

 

It's called a 4th wave, by some, because of the new, much faster delta variant.  In this scheme, waves 3 and 4 overlap on the charts.

 

Wave 3 had begun to level off but, oh no!, they let in a new variant via construction workers.

I didn’t admit I was wrong. 
 

There are some days where there are spikes because the labs process a backlog of cases. You can tell because a higher percentage of new cases are from lab tests and not hospital admissions.

 

More to the point, it is much more useful to try to understand the progress of the epidemic than to try to make debating points on an Internet forum. At this point, simply repeating that the government is not handling this well, and that the epidemic is going to get worse is not useful. What is useful is monitoring the progress to see if it is time to stock up on supplies for a couple of weeks, or leave the country, or head for the hills.

You did admit you were wrong as numbers rose to the same level as artifact.

 

Anyway even with higher numbers what are you going to do ? Leave the country good luck with that. I live in BKK in Thong Lor that is close to where many infections are. Am i worried.. yes a bit. Will i stock up on stuff and not leave the house. Not really I will shop when i can but usually stay at home. But not going to go out any less. Its not as if i get out for fun. Shopping is no fun.

Good advice.  Only weekly shopping trips allowed.

Chonburi Public Health Office has just announced they have 262 new cases and three more deaths. Most new cases are in Chonburi City (58), Bang Lamung/Pattaya (90), and Si Racha (38). The total cases so far is now 10,285 with 3,728 remaining in care #Thailand

These numbers for Chonburi follow exactly the same pattern as Bangkok before it became too out of control and they couldny keep reported numbers low any longer...the numbers in Chonburi would be 10x of those reported (as a bare minimum.

At what point will you stock up for a couple of weeks? Or, are you assuming the epidemic will never get that bad?

I have been monitoring the progress of the epidemic and in my humble opinion the progress can be described in one word. UP.

How your vaccine shots coming along? 

Perhaps you obtained them outside of Thailand 

@Danderman123 don't give me a like emoji. 

So how are your vaccine shots coming along? I ask because I'm having a hell of a time obtaining one let alone 2.

 

The government's handling of vaccine procurement has been a shambles.

Another post complaining about the crappy vaccination effort is not particularly useful.

 

i assumed at the outset that the government effort would be pathetic, so I got off my ass and flew back to the US to get vaccinated. And came back through quarantine.

This country simply has no hygiene standards at all. If you believe these are the real numbers you need to have your head examined,

 

Last night at Tesco there is a juice vendor... one of those freshly squeezed juices. Good juice, good price. The vendor has gloves but handles the money and fruits/vegetables with the same gloves without ever changing them. The pile up of virus and bacteria during the day must be huge. I noticed this ridiculous phenomenon with at least 50% of the vendors even at Gateway Ekkamai mall where I live, so it is not only outside markets.

Answering the question would be a start.

So your vaccine shots. How's that coming along??

BTW how do you think these announcements of additional vaccines have come about recently.

It's down to complaints from Thai medical experts across the board. 

Don't complain about poor performance then nothing will happen.

ASEAN update with regional numbers reported yesterday by member countries:

Even less useful is your foolish interpretation of numbers that are so far understated and misleading at best.

An anecdote is useful, but not proof of anything other than maybe a handful of cases were undercounted.

 

Before you erupt, I am not saying there probably isn’t an undercount, I am just explaining that anecdotes aren’t evidence.

We should listen to this guy.....he has all the answers.

What I'm saying is that the numbers that are reported have no relationship with reality.Since you seem to understand why the number of lab tests go up and down perhaps you could provide a link so that I may understand it as well as you claim to?Still no link sir Lancelot Link Link Link.

How do you "photocopy"these numbers?By putting your laptop onto a photocopying machine then hit print, then put the printed copy onto the scanner then convert the scanned data to a pdf and download on to a stick then download onto your laptop and post it?Would it not be quicker to just "cut and paste" it?

He probably could have done all that in the time it took to write that post.

So the gf is organizing her outfit for the day. Consists of black along with black bow. Tells me I must wear black T.

Apparently today is silent protest about vaccine choice and R.I.P to those that have past.

Anyone aware of this.

Watch out a certain person will call it Government bashing.

No, I distinctly remember you saying the Grubbyment had it under control and it would end soon and that to say otherwise was to earn one the title of doomsayer!

Your kidding right. I would not even attend a hospital if I was feeling ill.

Thai would perhaps attend as last resort.

Maybe not but what is missing is how many are turned away quite possibly being contagious to aid in the spread of the virus.
