Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 A health worker takes a nasal swab sample from a man from Klong Toey community, for a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) test, in Bangkok, Thailand, May 4, 2021. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun 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.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 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. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/weekly-trends/#weekly_table 11 Thailand 73,463 77,319 -5% 1,049 670 794 -16% 10 70,022,614 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous territory. 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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Well WHO probably requires lab confirmation of a positive case I would have thought.

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+ Edited October 10, 2021 by Bkk Brian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
