Popular Post snoop1130 Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 BANGKOK, Dec 30 (TNA) – There were 934 Omicron cases in the country and local infections rose as arrivals slowed down, according to the Department of Medical Sciences. Dr Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the department, said the 934 Omicron cases comprised 577 arrivals and 357 local infections and they existed in all public health regions of the Public Health Ministry. Local infections would outnumber infected arrivals because the number of visitors was slowing down, he said.

Popular Post Crossy Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 In reality it's likely >10 times that. Those not displaying symptoms are going nowhere near tests (at least not the recorded tests). 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DLock Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 My experience is that Omicron confirmed testing takes 3 days, as Bangkok is the only place that has the labs to do the testing, so today they are reporting Omicron infections from 3 days ago, that were confirmed today. In 3 days from now, we will know the numbers from today, and it will be significantly higher than 1,000... ...and that does not count the asymptomatic, and those that test positive with ATK and self isolate Thai style and infect more people... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know in other countries as well, but other countries are closer to the truth because of their massive testing. Our numbers in Denmark shot through the roof and our positive % also explored to 12 % of the total tests which indicate we have a huge number of people with covid not being registered. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Thailand use those new PCR tests that can detect omicron without doing whole genome sequencing. That could maybe save them some time.

Not in Chiang Mai - all tests had to be sent to BKK for Omicron testing - and took 3 days. ...and test numbers is probably at a reasonable currently, and when the testing needs grow, I think they will just assume everyone is Omicron... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayinThailand2much Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Wow, just read this morning's news of 700+. Another 250, or so, is 33% more in only one day! If it continues like that, then the tally will be 10,000 in less than two weeks... Edited December 30, 2021 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trainman34014 Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 My guess would be at least 10,000 already judging by how fast this variant spreads in other countries. Whatever number is put on it by Thai Authorities you can X 10 as they are never truthful ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dinsdale Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 It needs to be in the millions. Probably will be in a couple of months. Fairly sure the official daily infection rate will be 2000 or so. If these idiots shut things down then you really have to wonder. Let this Omicron run. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever gone shopping with a cold? Gone to work with a cold? You have a cold you must know you're infectious. We have all done it. Of course the thing is you can spread it before you become symptomatic or you are asymtomaic and don't know you're spreading it. Magnificent virus this particular coronavirus and it's variants that may well be in the process of wiping itself out. Let's hope so. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blumpie Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 WE are overrun with omicron here. The horror that is unfolding is as follows: asymptomatic till an antigen test shows it. Around 75 percent ish are asymptomatic who test with the antigen test and have no symptoms. 25 percent gets cold symptoms for 3 days and it goes away. That is all. Not at all scientific and hell, I could be from russia posting this but I"m not. Our ICU capacity has dropped by one and this is the biggest nothing burger that you could imagine. We have no idea how widespread it is because there aren't enough tests to test everyone. IT's madness! People who test with antigen tests which are free don't tell the government because... why? It's a three day cold. They don't give a damn either. This wave of the pandemic isn nothing. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all met that type - In reality there are plenty of us that travel and live around Asia for all sorts of reasons - Asian friends - scuba-diving and snorkelling (back in the day) - golf - winter sunshine - a destination to switch off Ranting on about Westerners is daft - Been out around Bangkok today and the BTS was very busy, malls busy, food courts, Thais working and going to and from work... Everyone automatically doing as much as possible with masks and distancing. The point is we all have to go out as there are things we have to do, so it's hard to fathom what sort of lives those have, that constantly advocate closing everything and confining people to homes. Self-isolation might be possible if the funds permit it but the majority simply can't without extremely grave consequences to lives and livelihood. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any nation that refuses vaccination and has an unhealthy relationship with obesity really should not be on anyone's covid statistics and charts apart form their own as it is completely misleading to other countries figures 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaijack2014 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The figures I hear every two days are always doubling. So, in this rate, by sunday there will be around 2000, tuesday 4000, friday around 8000 and sunday 16000. Let's hope not.... otherwise we're gonna be in a lockdown sooner than anticipated.
