Thai students suffer inequality and poor mental health as pandemic lingers

 

Misguided policies, neglect and mistreatment by the Thai government and school authorities have caused a mental health crisis among students. Globe columnist Mark S. Cogan explains fundamental reforms are a long way away

 

The catalyst for the student strike is the combination of the government’s gross incompetence in slowing the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and the prolonged closure of educational institutions throughout Thailand. As a result, millions of Thai students have had no other option but to continue their studies online.

 

Unfortunately for many, the lack of government preparedness for a major disruption to primary and secondary education, the financial strain caused by the pandemic, extreme levels of income inequality and high levels of household debt have created a dilemma for Thai students that is often well beyond their ability to control.

Things are improving, but still no likelihood of schools re-opening any time soon.  Shameful.

Seems like the Thai Govt are also trying to manufacture consent for mandatory vaccinations of schoolchildren below 18 (and mooted for as young as 3yo..), despite WHO guidelines stating risk of heart inflammation is higher than Covid at this age range.

No number, or as more recently, percentage of testing. I'm not sure what the new percentage figure for testing is supposed to represent. But it's obvious that the decline in cases correlates to the decline in testing, from the two graphs.

The numbers reported are positive tests from PCR tests and are not the new covid cases in Thailand. So comparing trends is misleading as we do not know the number of total new covid infections day by day.

 

The question is how many covid cases in Thailand? How many new cases today. I have no idea. Do you???

Fair point. Where is this information published?

Number of PCR tests done per day and test positivity rate? How many PCR tests have been replaced by ATK?

That is the riddle that we can not solve.......The smoke curtains by the Government and its allies are very very thick

exactly but somehow rapid tests don't count

 

not sure of rapid test accuracy in Thailand but this from the UK NHS

 

Research shows rapid tests are 99.9% accurate. This means the chance of getting a false-positive result (where the result shows as positive but is actually negative) is extremely low.

Yes with a RAT you are much more likely to get a false negative than a false positive so the use of rapid antigen tests is going to find less positive cases than the same number of PCR tests would. This alone can have dire consequences trying to identify an outbreak of covid-19 and contain it's spread.

For a while when the numbers were spiralling in the wrong direction, people seemed quite happy with the way they were being recorded because it was all about trends and not the actual numbers themselves. 
 

Now they are going downwards, they are all lies and not telling the true story. 

 

Your description seems quite apt. 
 

Total reported infections have been on an upward trend for the last 2 weeks.

Thailand on Monday (September 13) reported 12,583 new COVID-19 cases, 16,304 recoveries and 132 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.

This is false reporting if the 6,346 antigen positive tests are not included in the figure.

 

If they test mostly with antigen and lower the pcr tests rates and fail to include antigen in daily total figures then for sure a rapid decline will be projected and not a reflection of reality....just as the Junta ordered.

 

A cunning plan Baldrick.

You sound disappointed. Try and be a bit more positive. You 'suppose' it's good news. A downward trend in infections is good news. Period.

 

As for the rest of your doomy post...they started easing restriction s 2 weeks ago, and the world hasn't caved in.

What sounds like disappointment to you, sounds closer to critical thinking to me. 

 

Maybe they will be the sole exception in the world. I guess that makes sense. Everything here is special. Not like other countries. ????
