Thailand on Tuesday (September 28) reported 9,489 new COVID-19 cases, 12,805 recoveries and 129 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.

 

◼︎ 12,805 recoveries

◼︎ 9,220 new infections 

◼︎ 269 prison / prison infections

 

▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 1,552,552

▶︎ Total recoveries since since April 1: 1,420,780

 

Tuesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 1,581,415 with 16,498 deaths.

 

The news comes as Thailand's coronavirus task force on Monday approved a plan to procure a combined 3.35 mln doses of the COVID-19 vaccines of AstraZeneca and of Pfizer and BioNTech, a spokesperson said.

 

Should Cabinet grant final approval, 165,000 AstraZeneca doses and 2.79 million Pfizer-BioNTech doses would be procured from Spain and 400,000 AstraZeneca doses from Hungary, the spokesperson said.

 

No timeframe for delivery was provided.

There is no incentive to test and find cases in any provence since the goal is to reduce case count and not virus spead and public health 

 

The goal should be to find as many infected as possible and isolate, that can only be achieved through increased testing not reduction and hiding

 

no wonder Thailand is on red lists

Once again with ATK positives being almost 100% correct the actual number is as or close enough to as @Bkk Brianshows. 16,344. It's such a farce. If added then the number is actually the highest since Sept 21 and the 3rd highest since Sept 13.

also they don't break down the ATK numbers by City or province which is unfortunate and unhelpful

[smedly]

I think people have lost fight with this  pandemic in Thailand due to the prolonged social imprisonment primarily due to the extreme negligence of this government to procure effective vaccines when they became available - a fact we should not forget

ATK tests almost 2/3rds of the PCR test positives.  Looks like the ATK tests are being used more predominantly as the PCR tests look to be used only for those seeking treatment or the close contacts.

[TooMuchTime]

Numbers going down like usual.  Doomers doing whatever it takes to convince themselves the numbers are higher as low numbers aren't possible.  If high cases/death shown, it must be 100% accurate.

 

Crazy world.

Don’t worry too much. Fortunately they are basing the reopening on the official numbers not the ones using the AN adjustment factor.

When tested positive by using the ATK test I guess they then are tested using the PCR test if they test positive then are they added to the next day figures

Add ATK and numbers have gone up but overall trend is down. Deaths numbers are declining. Maybe vaccinations doing this. Still over 3K in serious condition. Open up too early and this will increase due to a very low % of fully vaccinated.

This has plainly not been the case with numerous examples of clusters tested with ATK not making the daily count.

Nah...just checked Canada which had one of the most successful vaccination rollouts in the world. Today's cases 4300 with population half of Thailand

...so basically the same amount of cases.

 

So either vaccines don't work at all or Thailand numbers are a complete lie.

The report recorded 39 people suspected of being infected with COVID-19 after testing positive by antigen test kits (ATK), but the total number of people reported as currently being held at ‘COVID-19 Care Centers’ across the island increased by 472, from 1,507 to 1,979.

The report did not confirm how many people who tested positive by ATKs were confirmed infected by RT-PCR tests or how many people had been released from ATK detention at ‘COVID-19 Care Centers’ and allowed to go home.

As I have and others have shown if you get a positive reading on rapid antigen tests then it's almost 100% correct.

I said some time ago now that ATK positives might be greater than the 'new daily infections'. I wonder if that will be the case. Imagine. 5000 daily cases and 10,000 ATK and it will be "look how good the numbers are". One also has to wonder how many positive ATK's are not being reported.

New Covid-19 cases fell sharply in Southeast Asia to its lowest in weeks, however the number of deaths were higher on Monday, collated data showed.

There are far too many variables involved to make comparing one country's figures against another's worth the effort.

 

But the most fundamental mistake you have made is that vaccination does not prevent infection anyway. It's prime objective is to lower the severity of the illness.

[EricTh]

Around 10,000 is not low.

 

Just look at Indonesia, 7 day average around 2000.

 

Bangladesh 7 day average around 1000.

Shorter Curfew, Quarantine, But Longer Wait for Thailand to ‘Live with Covid-19’

 

Force the foreigners and returning Thai's to spend money in area's desperate for tourism revenue. Its clear however that foreign tourists and expats saw through the ruse. The sandbox drew only a third of the arrivals it expected, due in large part to price gauging for tests and hotels.

 

The government and big hotel chains were the only ones to benefit from the shakedown, Phuket mom and pops are no better off 3 months after the sandbox opened.

The unvaccinated are 10 times more likely to be infected. 

 

Vaccines prevent infection to a very high degree.

I wonder how many of those your wondering imagining about are making it to hospital and or dying.!

That is true but why did some vaccine producer trumpeted 95% effective against INFECTION and not hospitalization and denigrating other vaccines in the first place? Clinical trials are based on infection and not hospitalization.

 

Watch video below.

There were some posters here who recommended a couple of months ago that people stock up on survival goods like irradiated milk, canned goods, etc because of the imminent Apocalypse from Covid. 

 

So now I have to eat tuna fish every day, thanks to the Doomsayers.

More details of Thailand’s reopening revealed

 

The CCSA’s spokesperson, Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin, announced that “blue zones” will allow people to travel freely, while businesses and activities can operate normally, under the control of the provincial communicable disease committees.

This means restaurants, shopping centres, hair and beauty salons, schools and sporting facilities in the “blue zones” can open normally. Activities which draw large crowds can be held with no more than 500 people, while pubs and entertainment venues are to remain closed. At the same time, COVID-19 preventive measures will remain in place.

For sho....the most obvious "variable' that comes to mind is that Thailand has a superior superhuman race....most likely a direct descendants from Krypton.

 

The second distant variable is that someone is fudging the numbers.

 

Also lol at my fundamental mistake. Please inform Canada they should stop testing as desired vaccination rates have been achieved.
