Monday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 2,071,009 with 20,436 deaths.

 

The news comes as the government having set a new COVID-19 vaccination target to see 100 million doses administered by the end of November, the prime minister has asked all parties to encourage people to come forth to receive their shots.

 

At least 86.8 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Thailand, leaving 11-12 million doses remaining until the new target is met.

 

Prime Minister’s Office spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana explained that the Ministry of Public Health and partners had engaged the new vaccination target and there are now measures to accelerate vaccine uptake. As an example, the Ministry of Public Health will be holding a “vaccination week” from November 27 to December 5

Hope all goes well but still a significant number to create a bigger problem with the soft opening now and possible bar and entertainment venue openings looming.  Add too many still unvaxed.

Just look at Austria and Germany doesn't not take much Germany's cases tripled in just a 3 day period last week.

A prison weekend numbers bump upwards of 533 which possibly is a grouping of cases.  The cases for the day appear to be primarily from those seeking treatment and not a larger testing locale.  However, again that's my opinion. It is good to see the numbers dropping as vaccinations grow, but we still have along way to go.

Uptick in Phuket cases, back up to 83 yesterday

A bit more new infections than last Monday. I still get the feeling they hold onto prison numbers and release a larger number when the official daily count is low and lower prison numbers when the daily new infections number is higher. 

UPDATE: 6,428 confirmed cases, 1,507 probable cases (ATK), and 49 deaths (0.99%). Out of 85,768 patients , 40,352 are in hospital, 33,744 in hospitel and 6,911 in home/community isolation. There are 1,595 in a serious condition (-17) with 382 on ventilators (-6) #Thailand

It looks like parts of Vietnam are bringing back in restrictions already, numbers starting to bounce back over there too..

That's not going to get them to 100 million by the end of November like I just read in this OP.

 

According to police, an investigation is underway to find out how the cadets were infected, despite none of them having been allowed to leave the centre for the past five months. Only cooks, maids went out to buy food ingredients.

So what the senior ANalysts make of the hospitalisation rate. It seems to me that the case, death, ICU and ventilator rate have been coming down. However the hospitalisation rate seems to be taking ages to go down. For example two months ago there were about 1000 on ventilators, now less than half that, whereas the overall number had been stuck in high 40ks until recently. I note that one of the other platforms is advising hospital numbers circa 43k, whereas today here it is 40k. Perhaps I've been mixing the two up. Or is it a reflection of the authorities preference to place people in hospital here, even when perhaps not necessary.

I am sure they were sneaking in and out to get a quickie in with the GF, or to get some special items.  My former BIL was supposed to be in an area where all of the police were in quarantine die to a few being infected.  Did not stop them from exiting and re-entering under cover of darkness.

Fairly big push on out here in the sticks recently. Many people got their first AZ here today. Anecdotal evidence, sure.

I'd like to know what police cadets learn for 5 months because one thing's for sure, they come out knowing zero about law enforcement..
