I'd read the Health Minister promised "a million vaxes a day in August"  ... it hasn't happened yet ... I wonder what day it will be.

If there are 10 times the amount of cases then that would mean the virus is 10 times less deadly than believed and reported.    Unless of course you believe at the same time they are lying about the number of deaths, even though they are actually testing dead bodies they find on the street to see if they had covid.    

The deaths are definitely well over the real number.  Research excess deaths and specifically Thailand excess deaths.  It seems Thailand did well all the way through October last year and then deaths  increased dramatically and are about 3x the official count.  The death numbers in developed nations looks to be close to accurate but not the case in the developing world.

Charge d'Affaires Mr. Evan Jones, acting on behalf of the UK government, met the prime minister to formerly inform him that they will be donating 415,040 doses of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine. This is due to arrive on Tuesday.

Looks like the Delta variant is still running the show and doing extremely well.
 

With all the western countries now nearly fully vaccinated, all poor countries are now mutation-factories (including Thailand).

 

Would not be surprised if we soon will see a new even more aggressive mutation, that will send the west back to zero.

And so it will continue, until every country in this world realizes that a virus like this is the whole worlds problem and fighting it must happen in unity.

 

It is not only Thailand that has mismanaged this. It’s every country, as they have only thought about themselves.

 

I truly hope they one day find the origin of this. Because it is pretty impressive how fast this virus has spread and is effectively mutating.

 

China, you got any feedback??

From a forensic doctor in Bangkok:

 

"The patients and deaths seen here are definitely not real numbers. There are much more than that There are a lot of people who don’t swab to check.

Because there are many cases that do not have a swab, some forensic doctors can’t swab all of them."

Many province number also increase because they transport patient's from BKK to provinces and register numbers in that province! Thats why numbers in BKK also drop little! That what Mrs. heard from hospital staff in our province.

Yes, transported on Anutins "Covid train and Covid Plane" or by Big Joke and crew to the restive south.

Total new COVID cases for Thailand reported Monday at 17,970 was the country's third highest daily total ever, slightly down from the two prior days of 18,000+ case counts, not entirely unexpected given that today's report is based on cases from Sunday, a generally low activity day.

 

Same as always, the blue segments below reflect self-referred cases, the yellow segments reflect outreach testing cases, and the smaller gray segments reflect prison cases.

Whats unbelievable is missing out the point he made:

 

"dozens of people crowding around lottery ticket sellers, with the usual chatting and shouting. Hardly essential."

Maybe it’s essential for someone who needs that money to feed their family and doesn’t have the luxury of sitting at home posting about what Thai people should and should not do to survive. 

Are you going to pay for them to stay at home ?

 

That's what I would call unbelievable.

The trend continues of outlying province cases rising while the totals for Bangkok and five adjoining provinces as a group have been falling. Outlying provinces are the green line below (now up to 61% of new cases), whereas Bangkok plus the five adjoining provinces are the blue line below (down to 39% of new cases). The red line is total domestic, general population cases for Thailand.

 

The case totals for Bangkok and its adjoining provinces had exceeded those of the other 71 provinces throughout most of the pandemic up until the past several weeks. Since then, the outlying province totals have surpassed the Bangkok region totals and now have their widest spread of any time thus far in the pandemic.

 

All of the above would seem to raise the question of whether the government's lockdown measures in Bangkok and other nearby provinces begun on July 20 in fact have helped accelerate the spread of the virus out into the rest of the country, as residents left the urban areas and headed back to outlying home provinces.

Bangkok new COVID cases ticked up some on Monday, but still remained on a generally downward recent trend and well below the province's daily record of 3.997 COVID cases set on July 28.

 

Sixty eight new deaths for the day brings the province's total to 2,527 and a 1.6% case fatality rate.

 

 

Monday's 3,144 new cases for Bangkok is the third lowest daily total of the past week, although up from 2,899 the day before:

I see your post every day @anchadianand it really says it all about numbers here. Absolutely no proactive mass testing. Just hospital presentations and testing clusters that pop up. I used to say x10 to infection numbers but really this has to be very conservative.

Former classmates, who studied at the Faculty of Communication Arts of Chulalongkorn University with, both twin daughters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, have asked them to tell their father to step down, to take responsibility for his gross mismanagement of the COVID-19 situation, and pave the way for a more capable successor.

Unless it is me that is missing something, China has been very quiet on the subject for a while. 

 

And still with China I notice Chinese nationals appearing in the numbers of foreigners dying. Didn't realise there were that many here. Wealthy retirees.? Specialist technical staff.? English teachers.? Condolences to their families anyway.

I have basically posted exactly what your referring to.

I don't get it. If total positives each day seem to come from hospital walk ins and tests in clusters.

What's the point. That number will end up being fixed result.

Where is the random testing.

I have a radical idea. Include some  Random testing (free of course)

As the lockdown measures in Thailand are extended for 14 days, starting tomorrow (Aug 3), all 77 provinces in Thailand have been classified into three zones: Dark Red, Red and Orange. The dark-red zones are under maximum and strict COVID-19 control, with the measures allowing stores to sell food for delivery only, and the curfew period remains unchanged (9 p.m. to 4 a.m.). Branches of commercial banks located in department stores will remain closed, while sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages in restaurants are still prohibited at this time.

Once again Sumut Sakhon with at a guess one tenth of the popolation of BKK has at a guess around 40% infections of that of BKK. This doesn't make sence. BKK must be higher. Any one have a logical argument other than testing rates and not counting rapid antigen testing why this disparity exists?

Probably in line with the prime minister's recent comments suggesting Thailand has fared better than some other countries in the pandemic, the MoPH today produced the following chart showing Thailand's per capita COVID case and death rates, cumulative since the start of the pandemic. Looking cumulatively, Thailand looks not so bad relative to other countries, though the comparison countries they chose to use are among the worst in the world and here regionally.

 

https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/a.106455480972785/378047573813573/?type=3

 

However, what they didn't do a chart of, or report, is how Thailand's per capita case and death rates are faring NOW relative to various other countries, which would be a much worse showing, nor how Thailand has among the lowest COVID vaccination rates among fellow ASEAN countries.

 

For example, in the latest day results comparing Thailand and the United Kingdom, which have almost the same size populations, Thailand reported 178 new COVID deaths today, compared to the 65 reported by the UK, even though the UK reported a higher number of new cases. And that deaths divergence is likely due to the UK having a much higher COVID vaccination rate than Thailand.
