Yes whats also variable is the stage of the outbreak, South Africa's peak of over 20,000 a day was over a month ago and has been declining rapidly since then. Malaysia and South Korea's testing are all far better per capita than Thailand's so figures can be a little more trust worthy.

Wonder how many considered that when they were booking their short break in Thailand? It's not just where you coming from, it's the infection rate in the country you are travelling too. Suspect part of the reason authorities don't want to show true rate, scare off the tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get into a phony numbers type discussion but the current US State Department Travel Advisory for Thailand is as follows including the warning "Because of the current situation in Thailand, all travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants."

Bkk Brian Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 All part of the plan, run out of ATK's already............ ATK test kits out of stock, groups call for an end to student testing Antigen Test Kits (ATKs) are running out of stock, the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) said on Wednesday, leading to concerns over the high price of second hand markets and hoarding issues. The GPO announced earlier that 3.5 million ATKs will be sold to members of the public at a price of 35 baht per kit starting from January 14. It has since sold out. The shortage of ATK test kits at times when case numbers are rising due to Omicron has caused concern among members of the public over price increases and hoarding issues. https://www.thaienquirer.com/36680/atk-test-kits-out-of-stock-groups-call-for-an-end-to-student-testing/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, hang on, but the numbers seem quite stable. 7-8k PCR and approx 2k ATK per day, someone somewhere is being economical with truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test kits here are few and far between right now with only 4 per household being allowed to be ordered. Pharmacies here in Oregon have none. Glad I brought over 2 boxes of KN95 masks as well. Hard to find those here as well. The numbers in the vaccinated areas keep dropping while in locations not heavily vaccinated the cases are rising still...ebb and flows. I can only assume the same is going on in Tbailand and without testing enmass who knows where the numbers truly sit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
