Number of foreigners that died of covid?

[mell]

What are the numbers of foreigners expats who have died of covid related illness since wave began? And by provinces etc?

[gk10012001]

You will never know.  If one dies, they rarely test for the virus.  Not sure how long after death the virus is still detectible forensically.

[Crossy]

I don't recall seeing any reports of farang foreigners dying of covid (so I'm excluding the migrant workers who were dropping like flies).

  

[RichardColeman]

With average age of retirement at say 65 to Thailand, and average life span say 85, it will mean 10% minimum of all expats will be dead of ALL causes (including covid)  roughly during this pandemic so far 2020-2021. If Thailand remains closed for a long time, and these people not replaced , then you'll be seeing lots more empty bar stools frequented by expats sooner rather than later !

[brewsterbudgen]

On the daily numbers thread, it shows that one Brit is on the 'dead' list from today.

 

Today there were 312 deaths in #Thailand

 

174 males & 138 females

7 foreigners died (1 Brit)

Median age is 65 (28 years-102 years)

Most deaths in Bangkok (78)

Deaths reported in 49 provinces

62% of those who died were 60+

3 died at home

"Died of" vs "died with" ...

 

I know one guy who died last month and was treated as dying of Covid (cremation ASAP with only immediate family allowed to attend at temple) - but he was in his 60s and had serious underlying health issues as well so who knows if he really died "of" Covid.

[Sheryl]

They do not keep a running total of deaths by nationality. One owuld have to go through every single daily announcement to claculate this.

 

There have been farangs among the dead here and there over the months. Not a lot, but some.

Good friend in Bkk, a Brit died a week ago of Covid. He was living with a Thai family that all got it, but he was the only one to die, probably because of his age, 79.

That’s a very funny post - do expats have such a reduced life expectancy here ? 10% of all expats, really - so of the expats we all know , 1 in 10 should have died in the last 2 years 

[crazykopite]

i may be wrong but those who die at home are not tested for covid so the daily figures could be higher than reported

Empty bar stools is correct as 99.9% bars are closed

How many died while making love with their wife with a mask on?

An American was reported as having died yesterday. There are "foreign" Covid deaths reported almost every day; most seem to be Burmese, but there are regular small numbers of westerners, Japanese, Chinese, and others.

I thought the same, just wondering if because I retired at 60 I get an extension beyond 85.

Perhaps Mr Coleman can help?

[thurien]

why would I care to know?

[wonder6281]

I wonder how many died from the jab?

Who knows? Indeed. I lean toward if there is a medical finding by those educated in the medical field.

You will forgive my getting a bit nervous at age 74 with having heart issues. Watching many of my childhood film actors,/actress passing and having already passed the age of demise of many of my male relatives. No worries ... just not in a rush as I am enjoying my retirement in Thailand!!! Now, if I might have access to the Pfizer vaccine here in Chiang Mai ...

I hope you carry on a good way yet, well into the 80's.  But i feel abit that way sometimes also because we just don't really know. All my family, friends are gone.  No more uncles, aunt's etc ... it's sad.

I'm 79 and would rather not die from Covid thanks, good innings or not. Not a nice way to go no matter what your age. So a pretty insensitive remark from you.

Many ex pats die here from behaving like a teenager, jumping off balconies, drinking like a teenager, humping girls their grand daughter age. That's why they are here and hay hoe its fun, let's go out smiling! It's difficult now but it will get better or worse depending on your point of view.

Reduced life expectancy sure, but we pack more fun into it.

Then you are not following the daily reports

 

There was one reported this Wednesday and there have been others from time to time. It does happen.
