Now we've got a 5-year-old with lymphoma among the COVID deaths...

 

That's gotta be among the youngest among Thailand's COVID deaths thus far.

 

14 month old baby if I remember right. Maybe you missed that. Not having a go but the young and very young are dying. Delta is different.

Not sure we will ever see the Phetchabun numbers listed anywhere unfortunately, its just the nature of the beast.

This guy is a true rocket scientist in my view, in another OP running they talk about daily cases of 40k, and then 30k with the lockdowns being 25% successful, and the peak not being for quite awhile.  However, unless they get serious with the lockdown here in BKK I do not see how they can even think the numbers will drop.  Not looking like a lockdown here in BKK as yesterday seemed like it was a regular weekday and now that people are awake and moving the roadways are very busy for even a Sunday.  It looks like many people are fed up being told to stay inside, or ordered, without any real penalties in place.  So as I see it the spread here in BKK will continue as the side Sois are very packed today with folks buying from the vendors and shops, and the 7-11 near us packed as well.

Dr Opas's comments citing mathematical models and projections make little or no sense.  It's the old feudal style where the poo yai talk down to the little people and don't feel the need to explain methodology which in this case looks highly suspect.  Even if the models were good what they input into them is only manipulated data due to the massive understatement of cases and deaths and therefore meaningless.  There is no need to make sense or have someone decent in the job. He knows he is there because of connections and scratch my back culture and the people over him also have zero accountability and can't be removed no matter how many thousands of Thais die needlessly or have their livelihoods wiped out.

The BMA said they have to temporarily close 25 vaccination centers across Bangkok tomorrow due to insufficient vaccines allocated by the government. The only two locations to stay open are the SCG Vaccination Center and SCB Headquarters #Bangkok #Thailand

There was baby born to a mother seriously ill with COVID who opened her eyes for a few seconds and passed away.  Poor little mite.

Today was Thailand's second highest daily new COVID case count ever (exceeded only by yesterday's count), and today's subset of 15,137 self-referred cases (the portion shown in blue on the chart below) was the highest number ever:

 

 

Among the totals, the outlying provinces (the green line below) continue to add new cases faster than Bangkok and its adjoining five provinces (the blue line below). The outlying provinces numbers rising, the Bangkok and five provinces numbers as a group falling. The red line below is total domestic cases from all provinces.

Bangkok case count today of 2,899 was the lowest in the past five days. Bangkok province's single day high remains 3,997 set on July 28.

There's been an ongoing (urinating) match going on between the BMA and MoPH over vaccine allocations, with the BMA claiming internally that the MoPH is giving BMA doses to places other than the BMA's various vaccination sites....

I said among the youngest. That is certainly a correct statement.

 

But both today's 5 year old and the other case mentioned above are important to highlight, especially for those who regularly and falsely claim that only old people die of COVID, and the young are somehow immune or have no risk.

BKK no possible way. 10X the population at a guess of each of the other 3 provinces. Absolutely cannot be true. I'm sorry but nobody in their right mind can accept this figure for BKK.

Maybe Bangkok has peaked ????

[dinsdale]

In one week Issan has gone from 2,007 July 23 to 3,670 today. At a guess that's around a 55% increase in a wk. I say exponential and there's always someone that says no it's not. Well maybe it's not but increasing 55% in a wk for me is not a good sign. 10th of July numbers of infected for that day in Issan was 835. I've said before I'm not a maths person but isn't this around a 475% increase. If it is why isn't this exponential? 475% increase in three weeks.

They've been hiding numbers from day dot. I remember back in December I think it was a doctor or Prof. that said 300 positives from a factory in Samut Sakhon were not recorded. The true numbers we will never be known.

Appreciate the wink. Personaly I think add a zero to every number you see and it's probably around the mark as asymptomatic, those sent away without testing and now rapid antigen testing are not included.

If you’re so sceptical about the numbers reported claiming you could add another zero on the numbers, why do you then go on to break them down into stats showing % increases and commenting on them as if they are real numbers?

Lockdown for a further 14 days which was expected.

 

New redzone area?

 

restaurant in malls can sell food for delivery - is that new?

 

worker camps not locked up anymore - able to resume work?

The last two weeks since the latest lockdown measures were begun brought us from 11,000+ cases per day to 18,000+ cases a day now.

 

With things staying pretty much status quo from this point forward for another two weeks, hard to see any reason we won't be setting more new record highs again in the coming days.

 

Hard to believe this is the outcome that the medical establishment / public health doctors wanted to see come out of the process, considering that they've already run out of hospital beds to treat the moderately to severely ill COVID patients they already have.

So the lockdown has been relaxed further, leaves me perplexed. They must think in 2 weeks we will have won the war.

You want to believe a government that took over by a coup d'etat and then rigged an election that's up to you. Personally I will not. Do you not remember there were no infections in prisons and then they had to release the democracy guys who tested positive. Only then when they were outed were the prisoner numbers were released. As for your other bit of wisdom Issan went from 2,007 infections in a day to 3670. Day to day this represents about a 55% increase. These are real numbers. Today there are 1,663 more positive infections in one day than there were a week ago. Let me also say showing a number as a % is not breaking them down into statistics.

Unfortunately we need to use what they show in order to get a better idea of the spread. Kind of funny how the numbers for cases always seem to flatline especially when testing goes down because of the inability for hospitals to test because they are full. Additionally, the numbers of Rapid tests used are unknown as well as those positive on them because they do not report them. I mean have you seen the Phetchabun numbers from the 3k plus positive tests in the actual reported stats. That answer is NO.

So basically you believe the infection numbers on Isaan but not in BKK 

Fair enough.

I don't believe he ever said he believed the issan numbers. He just pointed out with what they show now versus then it's a 55% increase. You just want to see it another way which is fine, so agree to disagree.
