Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted October 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) 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. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/weekly-trends/#weekly_table Stay safe and take care of yourselves as you start to travel out and about.

Complacency can be as dangerous as the virus itself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadilo Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) 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.

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

ikke1959 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
