Popular Post dyertribe Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 That would be because they are testing there and not necessarily that they caught it there. I suspect if you did the same level of testing at shopping centres the numbers would be just as high. I think if Thailands testing strategy was more robust, the actual number of infected would be far higher. 30 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only one had access to 'test positivity ratio', can one measure rising or falling infections. Else, infection rate can be manipulated by the number of tests being done 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like that from the very start of opening back in June, it didn't make any difference. Nothing was going to reverse the decision. Yet it's enough to keep places like Pattaya virtually closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Thailands testing strategy was more robust, the actual number of infected would be far higher. What it suggests is that staff are employed while either not being fully inoculated or not adhering to cleanliness protocols. Where else do you think they're catching it? As most people know when these venues open they just go their own sweet way as before, believing Covid is over and the good old times are back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhacsyn Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Proactive testing has been ongoing for some time. Starting tomorrow, the outlets closed recently for 3 days will open again, and all staff in all outlets in and around Bangla will be tested. If negative, they are issued with a certificate which they must carry with them at work. Any outlets not complying will be closed. Same again next Friday.....

Now of course some folks know that and choose not to read or react to it. Some people of course actually believe the BBC or CNN or MSNBC just to pick out a few, but obviously there are more. Do the MSM tell outright lies, yes sometimes, then they get sued, but mostly they spin it to fit their own narrative. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holymoly Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 People - Every night in my little neighbourhood, people are gathering on a side street with beer and no mask, sitting close together and being very happy... Of course they will pass on their germs ! Is that so difficult to understand ? Beer and friends makes happy, close together, passing on all sorts of germs including covid 19. Keep the booze places locked ....................the neighbourhood get togethers are enough 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you mis remember how it all started ? anyway a rather interesting study from the source. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19802-w?fbclid=IwAR0-RMOGRpCv6f6PLAxTjnw8-hNCLqmilbUFxMi2iSZEAefZem4PVBD_mK4 " The citywide nucleic acid screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan recruited nearly 10 million people, and found no newly confirmed cases with COVID-19. The detection rate of asymptomatic positive cases was very low, and there was no evidence of transmission from asymptomatic positive persons to traced close contacts. There were no asymptomatic positive cases in 96.4% of the residential communities. Previous studies have shown that asymptomatic individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus were infectious3, and might subsequently become symptomatic4. Compared with symptomatic patients, asymptomatic infected persons generally have low quantity of viral loads and a short duration of viral shedding, which decrease the transmission risk of SARS-CoV-25. In the present study, virus culture was carried out on samples from asymptomatic positive cases, and found no viable SARS-CoV-2 virus. All close contacts of the asymptomatic positive cases tested negative, indicating that the asymptomatic positive cases detected in this study were unlikely to be infectious. There was a low repositive rate in recovered COVID-19 patients in Wuhan. Results of virus culturing and contract tracing found no evidence that repositive cases in recovered COVID-19 patients were infectious, which is consistent with evidence from other sources. A study in Korea found no confirmed COVID-19 cases by monitoring 790 contacts of 285 repositive cases6. The official surveillance of recovered COVID-19 patients in China also revealed no evidence on the infectiousness of repositive cases7." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
