dinsdale Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) With all this deception and manipulation of the truth I hope the chickens will come home to roost. What will happen to those at the the top here who knows. Bit like what will happen to those who made this happen and let this happen. Heads need to roll at the highest level and this is exactly why it won't. They are at the highest level. p.s. this may be above some posters level of thought and this is without intention.

If the trends continue favourably an ease of lockdown measures will follow which the Thai people desperately need.

Swimfan Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 5 hours ago, starky said: New South Wales now up to 200k tests a day...1 state in 1 day. How many Thailand doing again? Not really accurate 200k results came through. They explicitly stated that 60k were overdue negative result notifications. They have now removed some testing criteria for essential workers to reduce the pressure and turn around time for results. I would say the max they can do effectively is about 120k still good as mostly for the metro population of 5 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will come anyway because it's like going to jail but I don't see how it would make it worse. There will be plenty come once it opens up. Phuket already a success, Thailand still on UK Amber list so no worries and panicking their end. Sometimes people forget that not everyone is scared of their own shadow and quite happy to sit and relax on a beautiful beach and watch the sun go down………cocktail or not cocktail. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I would never go to Phuket during the height of it all. It's not relaxing to see jet boats, tens of thousands of tourists all over the place like rats, and all the yelling. You know what i mean. ???? One thing is for sure, I wouldn't want to need a doctor right now anywhere in Thailand. I went to Bumrungrad the other day for my yearly medical, best to keep on top of things. Very professional, all safeguards in place. Very happy I had a clean bill of health, even managed to cut down on my statins!!!!

LosLobo Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Thailand is expected to have more COVID-19 infections than reported figures. "ATK" test results are positive but not included. "Rural Doctors Society Facebook posted about the issue on August 22, 2021. According to the heart of understanding the report figures, there are a few important issues to look at together. The actual number of people infected is higher than reported. As of today 22 Aug 2021, we've seen an average of around 20,000 cases per day, but this figure is due to this week's RT-PCR testing averaging 52,845 tests a day, which means there are still a few RT-PCR tests available because of it's potential. Thailand does more than 100,000 cases a day. While daily ATK tests are reported as positive, they are not included in the numbers of infected people. If anyone repeats the RT-PCR, if it is positive, it will be counted as a new patient. But if you don't ret check it, you'll be gone." 'Rural Doctors' Thailand is expected to be infected with COVID-19 more than the report figures.

Around 40% positivity rate, Is there any other country with such a high percentage? My thoughts exactly and have been since the start of the pandemic out there? When my Thai friends are reporting to me more cases of Covid that they know about than my friends here in the UK are, something is definitely amiss? Especially when we are still reporting a steady 30000 plus cases/day ourselves? The published mortality rate is also a dead giveaway IMHO, when you take into account that the UK only suffered a mortality rate of 0.5%, even when both confirmed infections and testing was at its highest?

Soikhaonoiken Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Amazing Thailand..... Recoveries overtake the infections once again, but we all know this is not true, maybe more are being discharge from hospital to recover at home, just to free up beds, manipulation of the figures once again.....
