It is nice to see that the RDS is also including the ATK test positives in their view as a case of Covid and not a possible case, and making the point known so that all folks understand that the cases have not declined like the CASA and MOPH have decided they have. The graph of the cases which shows the current declining downtrend that @Bkk Brian posts almost daily shows the long drawn out drop of cases. If you added in the ATK tests the graph would show we are still on the upper part of the bell curve instead of the descending and now almost flat line portion at 10k case numbers. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaitom Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 I am starting to question this today when the family across the street last week were all tested and told they had covid, they were not taken to a facility ,just told to stay home. Now this family is suppose to have covid, A boy, a teenager, both parents who have AIDS ( one has a CD4 count of about 50 ) and their mother. NOT one of them have any of the symptoms, in fact they all feel just fine. Now the attitude among the neighbors is that Covid is nothing to worry about. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Simplified chart from Worldometers this morning for the past 7 days shows Thailand still at #11 for all countries. for Overall cases since the start of Covid they are ranked at #24, and as far as overall deaths from the beginning they are at 253 deaths per million and ranked at #130 overall, but showing only 9,201,621 tests being done or 131,408 per million people, so they have been testing just around 13.14% of the population. 11 Thailand 73,463 670 As for the overall positioning of Thailand as far as the current 7 day average for deaths shows they rank at #14 just below Malaysia. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/weekly-trends/#weekly_table 14 Thailand 73,463 670 Edited October 11, 2021 by ThailandRyan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your neighbors are your friends and your children play with theirs I am sure in the best interest of each such information is disclosed, and of course this is Thailand where everyone's business is sometimes common knowledge, unless of course you stick just to yourself, never get to now anyone and ignore your neighbors completely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 New vaccine combo injects hope for Thailand’s battle against COVID-19 If you are hesitant about getting a Sinovac jab to protect yourself against COVID-19, here’s some good news – the government is preparing to offer new free alternatives. The Public Health Ministry said last week that it was seeking official approval for the AstraZeneca-Pfizer vaccine cocktail for people under the government’s free vaccination rollout. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/new-vaccine-combo-injects-hope-for-thailands-battle-against-covid-19/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Opinion: Thailand has to gradually stop worrying about new infection numbers A few days ago, the parents of my daughter’s friend asked me if the number of cases Thailand was seeing was actually much higher than those we see on the news every morning. They had heard from some doctor friends that the rate of infection was being under reported by the ministry and by the government. https://www.thaienquirer.com/33781/__trashed-4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had heard from some doctor friends that the rate of infection was being under reported by the ministry and by the government. https://www.thaienquirer.com/33781/__trashed-4/ The one thing I took away after reading the article was this paragraph: "There is also nothing wrong with this policy because eventually every country in the world is going to have to learn to live with SARS-Cov-2. The rate of infection and the multitude of current and future mutations means that there will never be a vaccine that eradicates this virus only vaccines that get better and better at mitigating its impact." The writer is absolutely correct with his above statements, and eventually the numbers will be stopped from being reported as we move on from where we currently now. However, in my view that will not be uuntil the vast majority are vaccinated and this Covid pandemic has been reduced to a footnote. Another thing I find correct from the article is this: "That doesn’t mean of course that the general public should take it easy and use relaxed regulations as a signal to be irresponsible. Mask wearing, social distancing, regular hand washing should now become a part of everyday life. It will never go away just like this virus. But as the entire world slowly builds its immunity towards the disease, so to should our mindset change about infection numbers and transmission data" Live each day by putting one foot in front of the other, stay safe, protect yourselves and take care of your families.

That is the caveat. My GF's daughters fathers family all came down with Covid a second time before the daughter returned home from the hospital a few months back. They all received a stipens, food vouchers with free delivery to the gate of the house as well as medication delivered. The people doing the testing kits then returned and gave them ore test kits and told them to call in with the results and then gave them a mailer to mail in the used kits for disposal and recording. I do wonder what percentage of the disbursed ATK kits have been returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
