Jack TAYLOR / AFP The Rural Doctors Society (RDS) has warned Thai people not to lower their guard, noting that COVID-19 infections in Thailand are not declining, as widely misunderstood. On the contrary, are increasing, averaging over 20,000 cases a day. In its Facebook post today (Sunday), the RDS says “please pay attention and be on the alert” as it pointed out at the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has shown two figures for new infections today, from different testing methods – 10,817 cases from RT-PCR tests and 10,055 cases from antigen tests. Actual infections today from the two test results should have been more than 20,000 cases, said the RDS.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 I think the fact that Thailand is ranked an extremely high 6th in the world for most cases in critical condition and yet is only 154th on the world for testing per million speaks volumes. The criticals simply do not match the testing numbers 43 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vandeventer Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's true the numbers are going up. Maybe if they stopped giving us 1 vaccine that works and the other 1 that is a dud we can get over this and back to some degree of normality. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alanrchase Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's my understanding that the positive ATK test people then get a PCR test to confirm the result and then are added to the daily figure. If you add PCR and ATK figures people will be getting counted twice. 8 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrJ2U Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) The Government, GPO, and the Health Ministry are usually at loggerheads with the Thai Doctors Rural Society. The Rural society is usually right. The main reason there's proper people in the medical profession and not unqualified people trying to make a profit over the well being of Thai Society as a whole.

If you add PCR and ATK figures people will be getting counted twice. My understanding is the Thai Rural Doctors Society who themselves carried out mass testing in Bangkok with ATK's know what they're talking about. Its also my understanding that 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. Considering that Thailand classifies its cases as 80% green which means no or slight symptoms these are the ones who remain at home in isolation, community care or quarantine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that wouldn’t be included in any counts. Either way, there would be some double counting. I am actually surprised that a licensed doctor would even say they should add the two numbers withh a straight face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
