Thailand on Wednesday (August 11) reported 21,038 new COVID-19 cases and 207 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.




● 20,865 new infections

● 173 prison / prison infections

 

 22,012 recoveries


Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 816,989 with 6,795 deaths. 
(Total infections since April 1: 788,126)
 
The news comes as the Delta variant now accounts for 95.4% of new COVID-19 infections in Bangkok and has spread to 76 out of Thailand’s 77 provinces, said Director-General of Medical Sciences Department Dr. Supakit Sirilak.

 

He cited random tests on 1,632 new COVID-19 cases across the country, which show that 91.9% of them, or 1,499 cases, are of the Delta variant, which was first identified in India, and has now become the dominant strain in many parts of the world.

Koh Lan shut to tourists for 14 days to curb Covid-19 from spreading

Chonburi’s famous tourist attraction Koh Lan island will be closed to tourists from August 11 to 24 in a bid to curb Covid-19 from spreading further after the island has been hit by new infections, the Koh Lan community announced on Tuesday.

On a separate note, we will be headed out to have another Covid PCR test completed at a drive thru which has been set up by a hospital.  This is a requirement now due to the GF having to have a procedure completed, and the doctor previously exposed by another patient last month, thus making the doctor self isolate and cancel appointments for 3 weeks until he was cleared.  Now they want to ensure those folks who he is seeing are negative.  It is not, as we know from how people are shown to be negative and then 3 days later to be positive, fool proof but at least they are being proactive to ensure safety for the staff and doctor.

In the UK this is called spin (Malcom Tucker for you Brits)

 

"Thailand on Wednesday (August 11) reported 21,038 new COVID-19 cases and 207 additional deaths over the past 24 hours."

 

My spin - and 207 (mostly/partly) avoidable deaths had decent vaccines been given to the sick and elderly instead of the other "priorities" including the litter box (oops I mean sand box).

 

 

The total number of vaccines sent to Phuket represent less than 1 day's vaccinations in Thailand.

 

For whatever reason, you're happy that there are less foreigners in Thailand than normal. Not as much competition at your local bar, eh?

Absolutely.  I was just saying it is "nice" to see a positive spin put on the situation.  I'm sure it will go back to the more normal headline tomorrow.  Unless........

Got it! Hope I did not offend you.

 

But I am tired of the government spin trying to deflect from the mess Thailand is getting itself into. The problem with spin (or white lies?) is the spinner starts to believe their own spin.
