Thailand on Wednesday (October 6) reported 9,866 new COVID-19 cases, 10,115 recoveries and 102 additional deaths over the past 24 hours.

 

◼︎ 10,115 recoveries

◼︎ 9,821 new infections 

◼︎ 45 prison / prison infections

 

▶︎ Total infections since April 1: 1,638,234

▶︎ Total recoveries since since April 1: 1,514,344

 

Wednesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 1,667,097 with 17,203 deaths.

 

The news comes as the provincial health chief of Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat has ordered all state-run hospitals in the province to stop using the Chinese-made Lepu rapid antigen test kits (ATKs) due to a high percentage of inaccurate results.

 

Dr. Charaspong Sukree, the provincial health chief, 1,000 people in Thung Yai were tested using Lepu ATK’s, which produced 187 positive results for COVID-19. When this “infected” group was subjected to RT-PCR tests, only 92 turned out to be infected.

Looks like we have reached the testing plateau for new cases and then we have reached another bump up in deaths as the Delta wave keeps ascending downward.  I really would like to know what the true number of tests per day is being done and how many they are processing.  It just makes it harder to understand why the downward trend curve has such a long drawn out descending line.

 

Thailand at #10 on the weekly trend list, cases are down 9% in the past 7 days, so not moving downward rapidly but very slowly and it appears they have moved up the chart as others have dropped below.  The weekly deaths are down 18% which is good to see but we are still a long way off from seeing this number reduce to a point where to me it is acceptable.

 

For the Asian countries Thailand is at number 6 on the charts.  I can only hope that complacency on peoples part does not increase cases as people believe this is almost over, when it is not.

As WHO said last month

 

“As the experience with this pandemic shows, no country can let down its guard. Complacency can be as dangerous as the virus itself.

Going nowhere fast.

Like wading in treacle.

I doubt bars and nightlife will be opening anytime soon.

Thanks -- I started to travel to Dark red-zone  BKK last month but with PCR test and 2 vax shots managed to stay safe regardless.

Updated numbers from today’s data.

The UK does 1 million tests per day.

Thailand does about 40,000 tests.

UK is highly vaccinated, Thailand isn't.

Life is back to normal in the UK, you can't even get a beer with a meal in Thailand.

Good to see the number of recoveries still exceeding new cases. 

 

“Dr. Charaspong Sukree, the provincial health chief, 1,000 people in Thung Yai were tested using Lepu ATK’s, which produced 187 positive results for COVID-19. When this “infected” group was subjected to RT-PCR tests, only 92 turned out to be infected.”

 

Almost 50% with a false positive. 
 

 Could this be why the numbers are not included in the official figures.

You kindly provide the overall information daily including the 5652 antigen test results well done thanks.

 

However the article published here daily does not include the antigen figures as if they are totally irrelevant to the complete picture, a mystery.!

Any comment about one million tests per day in UK versus 40,000 in Thailand?

With only a pitiful 40,000 tests a day, it's surprising anyone takes any figures Thailand publishes seriously.

From testing to vaccine procurement Thailand has been next to useless.

Only an extra 2.5k cases then today if they were only using that brand, which they’re not.

Not sure your looking at the right table.  Table shows Thailand at #10 not sitting 70th.

And on this table they are 26th and that is cumulative.

70th in the table for deaths/million of population over the past 7 days, down 5 places from yesterday. 
 

I updated your previous number too, now showing a 20% reduction. 
 

Hope that makes it clearer.

Don't have to change my numbers I just reported what was in the Stats at the time I posted, which stated that was of 11pm last night and is what is generally posted the next morning as it was today.  Enjoy your view. It's not mine. But to join your changing of numbers cases are now only down 7% instead of the 9% I posted earlier from the morning Stats before being updated.

There isn’t enough testing.

 

But, even without any reliable data, it’s pretty obvious this wave is receding?

It should be, it started six months ago.

If it's receding, it's doing it very slowly indeed.

The UK's covid surveillance of the general population means it can pinpoint exact outbreaks and trends immediately.

Thailand is a shambolic basket in comparison.

You’re waffling.
 

Yes, if you look I posted that number in my earlier post too. 

 

Now please move on.

The numbers are up again.. Believe it or not the most rapid test are reliable and  yes maybe there could be some positive test be negative. Overall it still is not safe yet. You see people gather together yesterday in a restaurant here to celebrate the opening with singing and dancing, pictures on facebook of parties for the retirees and funerals....By minimize the numbers people will lower their guard because they think it is safer now, but in fact they make it only more dangerous.  with higher numbers everybody will be more careful. So 15.500 today if you like it or not

None because that would change the narrative. The excess death figure for Thailand would also change the narrative
