Popular Post snoop1130 Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 An illustration released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Alissa Eckert, MS; Dan Higgins, MAM/CDC/Handout via REUTERS. Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) Spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin warned today (Monday) that new infections, which have been slowing, may surge again in mid-October because of the easing of lockdown restrictions, unless members of the public keep their guard up. Dr. Taweesin expressed concern over the sight of many people crowding at the entrances of malls, waiting for them to open, saying that the virus can be easily transmitted in a crowded environment, with the consequences being seen in the next two weeks. He said that infections for the months of July and August had slowed, thanks to the cooperation of all parties adding, however, that he is concerned that infections may rebound due to the easing of restrictions and many people lowering their guard.

Some of these responsible health blah blah guys with a fixed monthly salary don't even know what it means to feed a family without income. Better these theoretical bla bla guys concentrate on their part and see that the population is supplied with effective vaccines.

Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) There will be a surge because the real numbers can now be posted. The PM won the debate. No need to lie any more. When the surge comes , he can blame the people. No more alcohol folks!

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well we do know that with the openings and a lack of true regulations for dining in and shopping at malls the cases will grow. I am sure this is what they want anyway, that way they can still hand out contracts to their buddies who are running the Hospitels, and such. I see it all as an exhibition of stupidity and so do the western countries and why Thailands tourism woes will continue with the red list and the Level 4 travel advisory from the US. China will not be letting their citizens out until mid 2022, so it must be the Indians who will be flocking in droves to Thailand starting in October. 8 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RotBenz8888 Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 So now when the numbers are down, the government will rush to remove CoE etc to entice people to book their holidays in Thailand. Happy days back for TAT. But in a few weeks, the numbers are of course up again, and the old rules must be put back in place. Flip flop. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post phills2k1 Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Lower the testing to get better numbers so they can have their "mission accomplished!" moment and once things reopen, they can blame the citizens when they jump back up again It's all so transparent Edited September 6, 2021 by phills2k1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomacht8 Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Thailand has 69 million people. Thailand has 1.28 million detected Corvit cases. Thailand has 12,855 Corvit dead. The death rate for detected Corvit cases in relation is around 1%. The risk of death in relation to the population would be: 12855 × 100 / (69000000-1280000) = 0.018%. Why do some doctors fail to understand that the population is willing to live under normal conditions with this risk.

Your calculations are flawed. You neglect to recognize the death rates you use are based on deaths with lockdowns and other precautions. 12 1 3 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is just for a thought. What part the lockdowns have is difficult to mathematically add, isn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplying the population with effective vaccines is the job of covid-czar Prayut and his incompetent sidekick Anutin. Dr Taweesin's job is to advise the Govt on the possible consequences of their actions coming out of lockdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without covid there would be no CCSA and no job for him, so he's hardly likely to downplay the risks. He's just doing what he' s paid to do; keep the ball rolling. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious that all those "precautions" worked perfectly... Close the restaurants ? Cases go up. Ban on alcohol ? Cases go up. Curfew 8 or 9 PM or whatever ? Cases go up. Phuket sandbox ? Cases go up. 12 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your figures are misleading, because Thailand had almost no covid deaths until recently: April 15th 2020 - 43 deaths October 15th 2020 - 59 deaths April 15th 2021 - 97 deaths September 4th 2021 - 12,631 deaths Thailand has been averaging 250 deaths/day for the last 3 weeks. Assuming the daily deaths don't rise any further - optimistically - that would be 250x365 - 91,250 deaths a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to put it another way, Thailand's covid deaths (250 a day) are currently 4 times higher than Thailand's road deaths (62 a day).
