5 sandbox cases, at what time during their stay did they test positive? Would be a question that needs to be answered.

And still at 24 for the overall total cases since the start as well.

 

And 11th overall for the past 7 days cases.

 

 

 

And yes when you look at the deaths per million of population they are 69th overall.

Your link shows actually Thailand 41 places behind Vietnam (154-113) so point well made. The other two are correct.

There are so many different metrics that can be used in worldometers however each and everyone of them is reliant on the testing data to output their data set,
How accurate or truthful case numbers, deaths etc are solely based on the testing.

 

When you have a position of 154th in the world then that needs to be taken into account otherwise we could have countries such as Tanzania be shown as a model to the world. No problem however Thailand is only one place below Zambia in testing.

 

Why the CCSA in their daily slides also uses the overall ranking the same as above 24.

Thanks for the confirmation, and  as has been stated regularly by many on these forums, the death numbers are the most reliable trend to follow. 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said inoculation already covered more than 50% of the Thai population. COVID-19 outbreaks were slowing down in the South. This week vaccines will reach other heavily hit provinces including Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Thailand still has 30 % of all the reported cases in the Asean Bloc.

Double the percentage of any other Nation.

It would seem as if there are many more Nations in Asean that are in a much better position to open up their Countries to Tourists.

Only 63 out of the more than 30,000 schools in Bangkok will be allowed to reopen for onsite teaching on November 1. Most of the schools reopening are international schools.
