Yet CM remains in critical condition but not  dark red zone?

CM has many cases true, but the province is actually 2M people. Also, the cases are mostly asymptomatic and now they are starting to put people under self-isolation when possible so the load on the facilities is not too high. Perhaps not so critical.

 

I am not sure what kind of logic or algorithm they use to define dark-red, if any. I remember, for Phuket duirng the original 14-d sandbox they used some criteria of average infections per week, then when the infections went through the roof they simply changed the rule and kept Phuket open.

I suppose that CM will be just red (how appropriate ;-) at least until Songkran and the long holiday in mid-December, to please domestic tourists. Just remember to order beer in a tea mug.

I think that clearly highlights that no logic algorithm is being used at all.... 

... All decisions being made are simply emotional as those in positions of decision making power want to be seen do be ‘doing something’....  when really not much can be done covid is going to run its course no matter what happens.

 

Now that so many people have been vaccinated only genuine metric by which to measure the severity of any outbreak is serious hospitalisations and deaths (i.e those who have fallen seriously unwell from Covid).
