What go up must come down..except costs and fees in Thailand...

Hopefully, no new bad variants are on the way. Its all possible and we will all have to take a new approach to dealing with it, rather than mild versions that may require an annual innoculation.

Or alternative," Chonburi to test even less".

Those numbers for Chonburi can't be anywhere near the truth, i know >25 people that have had it and i don't know so many people....

 

Total waffle, maybe they're lottery numbers?

It seems that Amazing Thailand stands on its own with the Omicron Variant.

The Country has received a minimal number of Infections over a very short time, and now the Outbreak of Omicron has peaked.

Much different that the rest of the World.

And lets not forget that Delta is still 40 % of Infections in Thailand.

My guess is that Thailand isn't even out of the starter's block when it comes to Omicron.

You may well be correct, or, the Omicron has indeed already peaked, and is on the decline.

As testing is not performed as much as it should be, I am inclined to believe the numbers are not quite accurate on the Infections.

Gotta clear this Dang Covid somehow, to allow all the Touroids to think the Country is now clean.

Totally agree. I recently had Covid but kept a low profile and self isolated, there was no way was I going to be carted away by the boys in white. How many locals feel a little bit rundown with Covid but can't afford to isolate as they still have to work

The daily numbers are down, that would suggest it has peaked even if they may be a little light.

 

Besides, the thread is about Chonburi, significantly less than 70 million. Try getting your facts right before you try to act clever.

What counts are hospital admissions. Those are hard to conceal.
