Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The Muang district of Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat has fallen quiet, with about half of the shops shuttered, light traffic and fewer people in public venues, after the province was designated as a “maximum control and restrictive” or “dark red” zone by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration, due to a recent surge in new COVID-19 infections. More checkpoints have been set up on main roads in the township, such as on Karome and Ratchadamnoen roads, with police and health officials carrying out random COVID-19 tests among passengers on public transport. 517 new COVID-19 cases and two more deaths were recorded on Friday, raising accumulated infections in the province, since April 1st this year, to 22,984.

I hear of these areas nationwide, yet the governments daily figures seem to be falling... strange that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It's as the Thai Rural Doctors Society pointed out, the government totals don't include antigen test positives results only the PCR results. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thai-rural-doctors-society-claims-covid-19-infections-are-rising-not-falling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If this province does not get vaccinated, it can remain a dark red zone, until 80 percent of the people there have had their 2 vaccinations. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infection rates will also drop naturally, once a high proportion of the province have had the virus, the old fashioned vaccination method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Okay I guess it will be about 2 years, like the spanish flu of 1818 until 1820, to naturally work with out vaccinations. I wonder how many will die? Just a question. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
