Excellent example, Kalasin only has a 23.3% double vaxxed population.

Sad to know that some areas have been neglected, while other areas have been pushed to vaccinate the population, in order to meet a goal to open up.

 

Then add in the fact that many of those already vaccinated require a booster, and that in itself takes away vaccines from those that have yet to be vaccinated.

 

Makes you wonder why?

I'm sure this has been pointed out before, but the numbers cited above are only numerators. You need the denominator, i.e. the population of each province, to make comparisons meaningful.

Deputy Minister of Public Health Satit Pitutacha said Thailand is ready in every aspect for its reopening to international visitors on 1 November, saying the measures put in place will effectively contain the transmission in case of fresh outbreaks.

Over 5300 in SNG. on todays chart. Given thepopulation thats huge. 

Yes !  also noticed that number for Sing.

However Thailand is still Top of the Pops for Cases in Asean with almost 27 % of cases across the whole Bloc, and thats without the 1000 cases that were reported in a Prison, but seem to have gone unreported in the Official data for some reason.

That's a definite bump upwards with only 218 from prisons in the mix. I was thinking it had all of the 1k discussed on Tuesday e ending and yesterday but nope.

 

ATK positives are a big jump as well. I wonder if those were from prisons or the public.

 

Traffic and pedestrian foot traffic seems to have returned to near normal around me and the local talads are busy. U fortunately half of the folks I see are either not wearing a mask or wearing it as chin warmers.

 

Relaxing of restrictions has also led to complacency and social distancing disappearing.

The Prison where the 1000 Inmates were tested positive, has a total population of just over 7000.

I really cant see that outbreak being contained to just the 1000 cases thus far.

And as for the relaxing of protocols, I would agree that most are not wearing their masks and there is little in the way of Social Distancing.

They have obviously been blinded by the thought of all the Tourist Money pouring into their lives again.

The poor misguided fools, and there can only be one possible outcome to such irresponsible behavior.

These look like cumulative cases not daily cases. Over what length of time are these numbers derived from?

He adjusts daily on a per capita basis. However why not ask in the thread yourself?

What kind of areas have you personally witnessed where most people not wearing masks and practicing social distancing?

That Sing number is roughy 50K if translated to thai population percentage wise. And 80% fully vax.. Go figure.

Taken from DofC:

 

4. All inmates must wear masks at all time.

 

Not too sure about social distancing especially during sleeping hours.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that part of his post wasn’t referring to the prisons but outside world as I doubt he would be aware of the prison distancing status etc

However Singapore also tests far more than Thailand, its currently at 15 in the world for testing while Thailand remains at 141. Difficult to make a comparison when there is such a discrepancy in getting the figures correct.

 

Singapore also has just 59 covid deaths per million pop while Thailand has 271 per million

 

Lastly Singapore also has minimal excess deaths so is capturing most cases

You are correct.  It was I who misunderstood.  He was referring to the outside world.

 New cases  yesterday, not  overall deaths. And the 80% vax v 40% here. any ideas?

Not off the top of my head as I thought you were making comparisons to Thailand, hence my reply and the testing metric that puts a perspective on it.  However re vaccination levels take Israel as an example, also had a spike but is back on the decline and hospitals were never stretched.

I wonder what the reporting would look like if the stats only ever reported the number of people SICK with COVID19?

[worrab]

Oh dear. Up from the 105 cases I posted earlier regarding yesterday's figures.

 

Health officials on Thursday (Oct 28) reported 280 new COVID-19 cases, 34 were found in Hua Hin.

Elsewhere in the province, 222 cases were found in Pranburi, 2 cases in Sam Roi Yot, 7 cases in Kuiburi, zero cases found in Thap Sakae, 3 cases in Bang Saphan, 1 case in Bang Saphan Noi, and 11 cases in Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan.

 

Health officials said 14 cases were discovered in Hua Hin and Nong Khae – the two districts due to reopen as part of the Hua Hin Recharge project.

I think your confused if you believe an asymptomatic person is unable to pass on infections to others, and that by just being asymptomatic does not mean one is SICK. Just like a person with Hepatitis B, and showing no symptoms, it's why it is called the silent killer. Seems Covid Asymptomatics can be the same by passing on Covid creating disease and death.

They seriously need to look at Chiang Mai and its re opening in a couple of days.

 

Chiang Mai’s COVID-19 pandemic at critical point, ICUs almost full

 

Doctors in Thailand’s northern province of Chiang Mai are expressing serious concerns that COVID-19 infections there are approaching a critical level, with the ICU wards in two hospitals almost fully occupied.

 

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Chiang Mai University Prof. Dr. Bannakit Lojanapiwat, said in a written statement issued today (Thursday) that daily new infections in the province averaged 400 in the past several days and new clusters are emerging on a daily basis.

 

Noting that about 20% of the new patients have moderate to severe symptoms, he said that about 5% of the severe cases need to be treated in intensive care units (ICUs), but there are only two hospitals which are capable of accommodating them.

I hope he is leading by example and everyone else that receives AZ  will also get a Pfizer booster after 6 months.

 

PM @prayutofficial has received his 3rd #COVID19 vaccine (a booster by Pfizer) before attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference @COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland later this week.

Of course not. This is going to become an increasing source of dissatisfaction. Ordinary Thais are going to have to wait for boosters in the queue behind people still getting first and second shots and breakthrough infections will probably be the result.  In this context those who ordered Moderna from the private hospitals will probably be glad they did. Expect the government to follow CRA's lead and giving reduced doses as boosters without any endorsement from the manufacturers or overseas regulators.
