If they isolate at home that frees up beds for sicker individuals. Testing also enables authorities to identify clusters, target resources and help to trace those at risk. Your barking up the same tree that we have been banging our heads against for the past 18 months. We have stated this over and over here on this forum only to be told how wrong we are and that there is no problem with testing. Yet no matter what the numbers show we have gut feelings that it is much higher then represented by this group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that have to do with what I said? I didn't say not to test, I said it doesn't matter if we don't have the daily updated numbers of ATK at this point.

Ambulances were also supposedly standing by. If thats the case, then this does not bode well for the Pattaya Fireworks or Phuket Countdown festivities held. Operators are standing by to take your reservation for a room at the Inn.......sarcasm. Think we all know that's not happening at the majority of "restaurants". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2022 With over 2,000 Omicron cases in Thailand so far, expert predicts beginning of new wave With over 2,000 cases of the Omicron variant of coronavirus detected in Thailand to date according to the Ministry of Public Health, the country is entering a widespread wave of COVID-19 infections in the "next two years", following the long New Year holidays, which will see daily infections spiking into the tens of thousands of cases in the near future, predicted Dr. Manoon Leechawengwongs, a doctor specializing in respiratory and pulmonary diseases at Vichaiyut hospital.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Here is the issue with them suspending the test and go but keeping the Sandbox scheme on Phuket: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thailand-urges-uptake-booster-shots-omicron-cases-rise-2022-01-04/ A so-called "sandbox" programme, which requires visitors to remain in a specific location for seven days but allows them free movement outside of their accommodation, was also suspended in all places except for the resort island of Phuket. How is allowing them outside of their quarantine facility/hotel ASQ on Phuket and allowing them to travel anywhere on the Island any different then allowing Test N Go and then testing them on day 5 to 7? They still have the ability to infect others if they have Omicron regardless. This madness needs to stop. Either scrap it all or ensure folks pay attention to the conditions, use the Mor Chana App, and are checked on.

First time i have heard that scrubbing with bleach is of any use against a respiratory virus passed by microscopic globules. Surprised no one has mentioned that Thailand's hysterical response is following more of a CCP model than a developed western one. Apparently, China has locked down 2 cities and confined their citizens to barracks. Edited January 4, 2022 by Cherrytreeview Edit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it's all BS. Carry out useless cleaning propaganda stunts at what cost which looks good but reluctant to test publicly because they know it will look bad. Nearly all of the official counted PCR lately have been from walk-ins so shows that officially they are not looking for it, only using ATK where they have to because those figures are not officially counted in the world stats. And as for the "restaurant" rules does anyone believe that every premise is checking customers, highly unlikely and you can bet a lot of the staff infections are going unreported too.
