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

Sure, I don't know any other country that does not include them in official figures.

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

Fairly sure I'm talking about infection numbers. Sorry you misunderstood my post. I also previousy posted about deaths trending down and that I think this is due to vaccinations. Maybe you missed this post.

Off topic post and subsequent responses removed.

It is easy to understand. They are promoting Rapid tests, and if you are positive and don't have severe symptoms than you don't need to do a PCR  test and so no counted in the daily numbers..It is a way to keep the numbers low and increase the recovered, because if ths Rapid test patients are recovered we count them. It looks good, but it is all fake. So in fact today we had 16.300 positive cases .. I don't care how they check if you are positive or not. 99,9% of the Rapid tests are correct and if not the most cases are found in the tests that gives a negative result. But the Government want that everyone believes that they have it under control, but in fact it is still the same as a few weeks back and maybe cases will rise again in the coming weeks. Due to flooding, travelling while not or half vaccinated or lack of testing now. 

Has anyone heard if/when the curfew will be shortened? Did the CCSA say nothing about it yesterday?

unless cases start to go up again..

 

it's a very quiet thread when the news is positive

Its always positive news when the brutal effects of this latest wave wanes, but there are still very high numbers of cases each day, the hospitals burden is still high and deaths remain at an unacceptable level especially for the priority groups who were not vaccinated in time.

 

If cases go up again I would imagine the comments will also reflect that. Here's the latest situation in Thailand analysis from WHO:

 

"The number of laboratory-confirmed community COVID-19 cases reported is the lowest for more than two-months with the trend in declining cases continuing for nearly 6-weeks. This is welcome, however with an average of more than 13,000 case still being reported each day, there is a long way still to go with more than four-times higher number of cases currently reported on average than the average for the month of June (2,941 cases per day) during the height of the 3rd wave."

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.

Vaccines prevent infection to a very high degree. 

Let me point out a caveat to that. ''the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are more than 95% effective in preventing confirmed infection''. (note the use of the word 'confirmed')

 

But we don't see too much of those vaccines around here do we. Another factor that can slew comparisons.

Over 16 K cases again today, if the ATK tests are included.

When the ATK test kits become mare available in the Supermarkets, and PTT Filling Stations as The Czar has instructed, for sure they will cease to be reported every Day as there is no monitoring of who buys them, or the results.

Hmmm

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.

Well there is one comparison you can make and that is testing rates. Every expert globally will tell you the higher the testing rates the more dependable the numbers so conversely the lower the testing rates the less denpendable. Guess we all now where Thailand sits in this.

Thailand reports daily low of COVID-19 cases.

 

????  Actually it has reported a sudden spike up including the ATK cases.

‘Make peace with Sinovac’ if Thais wants to get back to normal, official says

 

Thais will have to make peace with the use of the Sinovac vaccine if they want the country to return to normal, a public health official told Thai Enquirer on Tuesday.

 

Infection numbers fell below 10,000 cases for the first time in weeks on Tuesday as the country prepared for more relaxation of quarantine rules and the capital rushed towards a November 1 reopening.

 

The lowering numbers was in-part due to the inoculation efforts of the government and the use of a Sinovac + AstraZeneca cocktail, according to an official at the Ministry of Public Health.

Why should anyone make peace with and take a vaccine that has been seen by many to be inefficient at best with many of those vaccinated needing treatment for Covid like my GF's entire family of Aunts and Cousins.  On top of that this government can see that it has not worked as efficiently as other vaccines but still keeps ordering it and then giving booster shots to those that have been double vaccinated with the CoronaVac.  Now they are pushing a combination method wherein CoronaVac is given as the first jab and then followed up by the AZ vaccine as the second jab.  I do believe that the Thai folks and others see this for what it is......

Alas it would seem that ATK tests testing positive mean absolutely nothing for this mindless govt. in their quest to decieve. Close to 7,000 postive ATK results today yet these do not count. These are positive results. Tell a lie long enough and it becomes truth for those gullible enough to believe it.

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

Agreed, but how can people be sure that 'none' of the 6000+ ATK positive cases aren't added later?

Let's see. Even given that these are PCR tested and given that official daily infections remain around the same level, let's say 10,000 then a couple of days from now the official daily infection number should be around 17,000. Do you think this will be the case.

This has been explained a few times, the simple answer is no otherwise tomorrows figures would have an extra 6k plus cases and that does not fit in with PUI numbers that are published and hospital walk ins that are published.

 

The detailed answer is that some will be added over the next few days, should any of those who tested positive needs to be admitted to a hospital for care. Aside from that those that test positive via ATK will be in home isolation, community centers or quarantine where they are not pcr tested.

 

None of that affects or distorts the figures.

Yesterday Singapore donated 122,000 doses of AZ vaccine to Thailand; source CNA TV.

I wonder if Singapore originally bought these from AZ's Thai manufacturing facility.

AKA ATK positives are not added. Other countries must be looking at this and thinking what a good idea to hide the truth or what a complete load of BS. I guess the UK is going for the latter.

PM thanks Thais for cooperating to bring Covid numbers down

 

The prime minister issued a statement on Tuesday thanking people for observing preventive measures and bringing the number of daily cases to below 10,000.

 

Government spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the number of Covid-19 cases is likely to drop further, while that of patients being discharged is likely to rise.

 

“This proves that the public health system is efficient and that the effort of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration and people’s cooperation has paid off,” he said.
