Government Reported Covid-19 Infections Increasing?

[Banana7]

Do you believe the government reported covid-19 infections as reported in the popular press/media? Are we getting the politically correct data/info or are we getting the truth?

 

Reports from friends who have family members, working in hospitals, say "case numbers are going through the roof". Just wondering if others are hearing from reliable trustworthy sources such as real front line health care workers or non-censored authoritative sources.

 

Here is one reliable source of a cluster: https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/kalasin-pub-cluster-expands/ar-AAS9441

Recent reports show omicron accounts for approx. 10% of all new covid cases now in Thailand and since the omicron variant transmits more, and escapes immunity built naturally and through vaccines more, the infection counts could rise rapidly in Thailand and with very low covid testing rates comparatively, many unreported infections likely.

UK performs > 1.3M covid tests daily, Thailand does about 35K per day.  (data as supplied by Oxford )

Covid infections average ~1,400/million people daily in the UK and  approx. 41/M daily in Thailand. The infections may be hugely under-reported there.
