Thailand on Thursday (September 23) reported 13,252 new COVID-19 cases, 13,829 recoveries and 131 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.

 

◼︎ 13,829 recoveries

◼︎ 12,778 new infections 

◼︎ 478 prison / prison infections

 

▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 1,495,750

▶︎ Total recoveries since since April 1: 1,352,936

 

Thursday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 1,524,613 with 15,884 deaths.

 

The news comes as the number of severe COVID-19 cases and those requiring ventilators has fallen in the past three weeks, but small clusters of infections have increased in upcountry provinces, as a result of social gatherings, such as funerals, parties and merit-making ceremonies.

 

Director of the Disease Control and Emergency Health Hazards Division Dr. Chawetsan Namwat, said Wednesday that, compared to September 1st, the number of lung infections dropped by almost 1,500 and the number of patients requiring ventilators has dropped by almost 300.

Looks like Phuket has settled into the everyday 200+ case category.  Wonder what the 9 testing groups will be finding.  Will be interested to see how this all plays out as I am sure the other potential Sandbox locations will be following as well.

Are they preparing for a future wave or just ensuring they have them when the time comes?.  Is there somewhere else who could benefit from them right now that they should have gone to? However, it is very nice and awesome that these were donated by a benevolent organization such as UNICEF who I have supported for decades.

The 9 testing groups that have been set up, are not going to find too many Positives.

They have said that they hope to give 25,000 tests over the next 3 Days.

PPP.

On another note

Good luck for your GF and her Vaccine.

I know you Guys have been waiting a long time for this.

The US wants to send us 1 million Pfizer doses but can’t because Thai government hasn’t done paperwork

 

The Thai government has yet to sign off on the necessary documentation to receive Pfizer donations from the United States, a meeting between a Thai politician and a US senator has revealed.

Trang’s tourism development committee got together on Thursday to discuss the option of opening the province under a sandbox scheme from October 15.

 

https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40006560

One wonders if they will be allowed to.  How many are vaccinated, with 3 weeks until the 15th one wonders how they will as the article states:

The province, in the meantime, will speed up the delivery of jabs to ensure 70 per cent of the population is inoculated to create herd immunity. Agencies will also implement measures related to public health, logistics, Covid-19 screen and community participation and will also make preparations for emergencies.

Wait if that's true then how did the other 1.5 million arrive from the US?, now I am confused.

Well that certainly doesn't sound good but "paperwork" is a rather nebulous term. What paperwork?
