Thailand on Sunday (Oct 10) reported 10,817 new COVID-19 cases, 84 deaths and 9,981 recoveries.

 

50 of the new cases were among prison inmates.

 

Sunday's cases brings the total number of cases in Thailand since the pandemic began to 1,710,884 with 17,691 deaths.

 

As of Friday, Thailand had administered 59.3 million vaccine doses. Of these, 34.66 million people had received one dose (48.1% of the population), while 22.94 million (32.8% of population) had received two doses. 1.69 million people (2.3% of population) have had a third booster shot.

 

The news comes as the government on Saturday confirmed the planned reopening of Thailand to vaccinated foreign tourists on Nov 1 will go ahead, providing no large clusters are discovered between now and the end of October.

Great news - but what constitutes a "large cluster"?

Looks like we are seeing more cases versus recoveries, which would mean that the hospitals beds are filling back up with every new case above the numbers recovered and discharged.  We are definitely in a new flat line with cases.  The 7 day average does show that Thailand has dropped to #11 overall on worldometers weekly trend list.

Looks like we are slowly trending to possibly have more testing done via the ATK tests, and the only time a PCR test will be used will be for folks entering the hospital who may have already had a positive test via the ATK kits.  Dangerous territory.

That is always a good question.  Add to that question the following "Where are the current clusters", and "How many lockdown, locked-in and bubble and sealed locations are there"?

That is why they are pushing ATK testing.

It 'fixes' the numbers nicely by hiding lots of positives.

Yes, some are false positives (as are some of the PCR tests) but the majority are correct positives. These are conveniently forgotten.

Increasing by an average of 3.6% a day each day since 5 October.  This is going to become a problem.  If 3.6% increases each day continue, we'll be at 92,000 people being treated for Covid in real hospitals by November 1st.  Can the health care system sustain such a volume of Covid patients?  What about other people getting sick or injured, including tourists?

Your post says they are at 67th on the list but they are actually at 11th for the weekly trend list.

If that is true, does not that mean that the daily graph showing the green (combined total) bar might actually be double counting some cases, if so how many? I  gather that figure (second confirming PCR test) is not published ?

No that would mean that they would be on the next days or future Days PCR test positives case count, not the same days.

So after being counted once one day on the green bar graph then counted again some following day is not double counting. Strange logic.

I thought you meant counted the same day, sorry I was not clear.  The biggest issue is they don't include the ATK positives in their reportable cases only list it as a possible case, but not reported outside of the country.

This has been explained a few times already on these threads. They are only pcr tested if taken as a hospital admission, they are not pcr tested when positive by atk and go to home isolation, community care center or quarantine. 
 

in addition the Rural Doctors Society made a public statement saying Thailand is undercounting its official figures by not including atk tests. 
 

it’s basically official number fudging

Well WHO probably requires lab confirmation of a positive case I would have thought. Obviously they introduced the rapid test without a reporting protocol to satisfy the subsequently confirmed case/highly probably case difference

But obviously a few/quite a few of the ATK end up in Hospital right. And are given a PCR test which is subsequently reported if positive. Official number fudging yes but we don't know how many fall into both groups?

I have no idea how many ATK tested end up in a real hospital after a pcr test but the worrying factor is the trend, no matter how much you fudge the numbers that is much harder to fudge and we can see its on a steep incline. 

 

In addition the numbers just don't add up, with hospital walk ins at 10,055 of all pcr tested cases and pro active testing via pcr now down to 600+

UK testing 1 million people per day versus Thailand"s 40,000.

Thailand 76 different provincial governors with 76 different possible responses.

Thailand no joined up thinking, no plan, no consistency, no help for it's people, nearly a year behind the vaccine curve ball, begging for vaccine donations and can't even confirm a firm reopening plan.
