Popular Post smedly Posted September 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 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 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smedly Posted September 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 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 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. https://bangkokherald.com/coronavirus/shorter-curfew-quarantine-but-longer-wait-for-thailand-to-live-with-covid-19/ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 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. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/more-details-of-thailands-reopening-revealed/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
