A forensic doctor, at Ramathibodi Hospital of Mahidol University, has observed that the number of deaths from COVID-19, reported by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) in its daily briefings, could be higher.

 

In his Facebook post today, Asst. Prof. Dr. Smith Srisont, chief of the forensic laboratory in the Department of Pathology, wrote “The situation is really severe. The numbers of patients and deaths seen were definitely not the actual figures.”

 

The doctor cited the swab tests on four victims, who were sent to his forensic lab for examination to determine the actual cause(s) of their deaths. He noted that the four cases were in just one day and the victims came from areas which are within the coverage area of Ramathibodi Hospital.

And so it begins from the inside of the medical field.  Many have hinted that this is what's happening but others continued over time to tell us that social media would be covered with stories of dead bodies piling up if it was true.  It does not take much to believe that the numbers fed to us daily are low, and that many more deaths are occurring at home without the folks even being seen at the hospital.  Wonder if his choosing to swab the deceased was against protocol and done by him to prove a point just like the leaked meeting minutes memo from MOPH indicating no Pfizer jabs would be given as it would undermine the Sinovac deal.  If it is starting to come apart at the seams then it means that the doctors and such are finally fed up with the feces and want the truth to be transparent so that treatment can be obtained more readily as well as true vaccinations.

I know that this is definitely anecdotal evidence but I have noticed these last few weeks a marked increase of posts by my Thai wife's friends on Facebook of seriously ill parents invariably with breathing problems. All of them appear to be at home so guess they have not been diagnosed with covid.

The Govt is not telling the truth*** Why I don't understand. They are obligated to protect the public

[FarFlungFalang]

I get the impression the country has had enough of Prayuth, no wonder he has gone into hiding.

[club]

What a genus!!!!! 

[Surelynot]

Early retirement beckons......can't see him staying in post for long.

[Dmaxdan]

This guy is just stating the obvious.

The number of deaths and reported cases will always be higher than reported.

This goes for every single country in the world, not just Thailand.

Oh really?

Shhhhh! , it's supposed to be a state secret .

Thats him off to the Gulag

[ukrules]

The truth seems to be gradually emerging.

[McTavish]

FOUR cases does not make for a responsible result.

Actual numbers could be far lower.  Easy to blame covid in many instances where an actual autopsy aka work, may be required.

Geez, every frigging Xspurt wants his 10 seconds of fame.

X = unknown

spurt = drip under pressure

[jollyhangmon]

 

... yeah, not surprised there, it figures ... infection numbers most likely bogus as well ...

 

'Thailand may have infection numbers “3-4 times higher” than government-declared total'

 

... is what thaienquirer says today:

I do so absolutely hope that you are right. I hope that the junior end of the medical professions are prepared to stand up and be counted.

[herfiehandbag]

This is entirely anecdotal, but in my almost daily journey from home to Chiang Rai I pass three crematoriums. They have, in recent months seemed to be a lot busier!

Do you know where else one needs to line up at ten o'clock at night to try and get a test the next day?Actual numbers could be lower and they could be higher.If the victim dies of covid before they reach the hospital the Grubbyment won't pay them for their work so why would he test? He tested the victims knowing he wouldn't get paid if they were positive so how on earth is that easier as you claim?Did you read that part?Are you a drip under pressure or just unknown or both an unknown drip under preassure?

What’s the difference between their autopsy and “an actual autopsy aka work” and what exactly qualifies you to judge their autopsies?

They know it well enough but are rightfully scared about what would happen if they let the truth out.

 

Even their erstwhile supporters , who helped overthrow democracy , are realizing the mistake they made  supposing the military would do better and be less self serving than the previous incumbents.

 

This government is sitting on a pressure cooker. They are trying to release this pressure slowly by playing down the seriousness of the situation.

 

It is likely to be a strategy that will lead to the unnecessary deaths of many less affluent citizens and the further crippling of the economy.

 

But, at the end of the day they still have their guns , their tanks , and their patriotic raison de etre to fall back on so expect more of what we have seen so far.

The leaked memo about withholding Pfizer from medical professionals hopefully was the last straw with many of them.

 

The masses have hated Prayut forever. The privileged have to stand up against this corrupt administration to finally force him out and replaced with someone a little less concerned with his bank account balance, and more concerned with the welfare of the Thai people. 

[greeneking]

The people have had enough reasons to hate them, even before the awful, greedy mishandling of Covid.

But recent demonstrations have the protesters almost outnumbered by the media covering the events.  Protests the size of Hong Kong's or with the commitment of Myanmar's just are not happening.

Because they have never told the truth about anything, 

And by reporting low figures they are hoping they can open up to Tourists, as the Economy is in a critical mess, as toooo many snouts in the trough...
