the 10 days resulted in 5,000 ATK tests, with 192 positive cases.

This would be from the mayor who wants to open up. A familiar story. How many today in Pattaya

How open up to western vaccinated tourists might make it worse?

Nobody will come anyway because it's like going to jail but I don't see how it would make it worse.

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.

Was this my full post? Not scrolling back to look. Ask me a question then use my full post please.

Real cases are probably 4/5 times more than offical figures.

Around 40% positivity rate, Is there any other country with such a high percentage?

Let’s hope so. If the trends continue favourably an ease of lockdown measures will follow which the Thai people desperately need. 
 

 

Just in time for mass political protests and civil unrest.

Only 180 people tested positive in Pattaya yesterday? Wow! Ok. 1,092 in Changwat Chonburi but only 180 in Pattaya. Is this what you are saying?

Since you were talking about the mayor of Pattaya, the appropriate number is 180, the number of new infections in Pattaya.

I'm getting a bit confused. 180 infections all up in Pattaya yesterday. PCR and rapid antigen combined?

Those are PCR numbers only.

Cheers. What about the antigen tests. Is there a figure for these?

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 

Bangkok is only at #14 for cases per capita today, Chonburi is 3rd and Phuket has risen to 19th

I remember just a few weeks back when many were saying it had peaked in Pattaya, now they are used to the higher numbers and 180 is nothing to them.

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.

Thanks but I was asking about both. PCR and Antigen together. Is there a number for both?

Good information, but rather less than useful unless they also tell you how many people they tested.  Is BKK's Cases/100K low because they test a very low percentage of the population?

In a way it would be great to be in Phuket right now - no crowds!  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!!!!

 

If anyone is scared of going to a hospital at the moment, please  consider other health issues that may go unchecked.

there are many threads running on the Phuket Sandbox in the Phuket sub-forum. Please put any posts on that subject there.

Excellent post and a timely reminder. There are other things that can get forgotten with so much focus on Covid. 

Phuket just announced update to go onto tomorrows official figures. More increases.

124 new pcr infections and 118 new rapid test positive infections. 1 new sandbox infection. No new deaths, they stay at 17 since 1st July

Infected people still hospitalized = 1,091

Getting there DD. Don't need the confused emoji I'm quite capable of that myself. So Chonburi over the past 10 days has recorded 12,727 cases. How many in Pattaya over the same period. 

Baiting/bickering posts and replies removed. 

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."

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?

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.....
