Gee, who could have predicted all of this with the premature reopening?

 

And it's only 9 September.

Rapid tests no update published yet

Rolling 7 day average (up to 7th Sept) which includes prison cases and bar chart of community cases from daily official announcements.

We know they happen but it would be good for the Thai government to provide statistics on this.

 

From WHO Thailand

 

“Breakthrough infections, mostly mild, are occurring and this is why masking is so important and there's been some recent modelling done to show that in countries with high vaccination coverage everyone wearing a mask will drive down community transmission.” Dr Soumya Swaminathan

Hold on to your hats folks, the predicted disaster appears to be looming.

The increase is too soon for the impact of fresh infections caused by the "opening" - are these the other side of the massaging of the figures - the release of old cases into the stats?

The uptick may be because mass testing is being conducted in Klong Toey by Bangkok Community Help Foundation. The 1st 1000 they tested came back with 5% infection rate. For me this seems low for the conditions in the Klong Toey slum.

I don't think they ever put old cases back to statistics.
I remember the factory cases with about 3'000 cases. I checked for this province about 1-2 weeks and they number never came up. So this 3'000 cases were probably never going into any statistic!

Well, the reopening is already a week old, and Delta comes on fast, so...

 

But I'm with you that the sudden doubling of cases in Chonburi is strange.

I read there were 500 cases or so found in a military camp but can't find the link to that now. Maybe later the Pattaya news will clarify?

Remember they supposedly vaccinated all from the slum many months ago.

1. Cluster New Military Training Center, Sattahip District, 553 cases, collecting 580 cases
(Accruals reported by agencies affiliated with the Naval Medical Department in the area reported to the center at the agency and did not report. SSO misunderstands that the report has been entered into the system.)

2. Outstanding report (from Jul. – Aug. 2021) Patients Admin Somdej Phra Boromratchathewi Na Sriracha Hospital, 63 cases (results from out-of-service laboratories)

Yup. The date on the colander doesn’t matter, the number of people vaccinated does. And Thailand isn’t there yet.

Agree. No way will it go back to how it was before. Just look at Vietnam. 

Have they closed the hairdressers and swimming pools again yet, lol?

Better swim a few lengths this morning and then get my locks shorn this afternoon, because it can't be long...

Seems a little young 3 year olds? I would prefer to see this happening in western countries first, plus again Sinopharm?:

 

Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine to be considered for injections on children over 3 years old, Thai FDA reveals

 

Representatives of the Sinopharm manufacturer in Thailand are proposing permission to distribute the vaccine for children aged over 3 years old, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported today, September 8th.

Dr. Paisarn Dunkum, the Deputy Secretary-General of the FDA, revealed that Biogenie Tech Co., Ltd., an authorized distributor of Sinopharm in Thailand, has requested permission to extend the legitimate age group for Sinopharm use, originally from over 18 years old to over 3 years old.

The FDA committee is now considering the vaccine’s safety and efficacy and will announce the consideration as quickly as possible within 30 days, according to the Deputy Secretary-General.

If they had done that, they would be bragging about it, and using it to explain away the increasing case numbers.
