Sunday Covid numbers, sixth day of climbing infections

 

A new high today, the sixth day in a row where the new infection numbers have been slowly rising again in Thailand. Today’s total of 10,879 new infections is the highest since October 14 last year when the numbers were trending down following the Delta (third) wave was sweeping through Thailand (from July to November 2021).

Let's hope they keep their minds together and have learned that Omicron can't be stopped. Numbers are just showing some tendency. I doubt that they reflect nationwide numbers.

Other similar sized countries report like 250'000+ per day.

Stop staring at infection numbers.

Look at serious cases and deaths, increase of hospital care, on ventilator.

[anchadian]

The number of people in ICU and on ventilators remain low. Yes, long covid is a serious problem but so are noncommunicable diseases like air pollution. We don’t shut the country because of them. By all means, keep the basic precautions and continue vaccinating, but let us live.

Why do they keep on letting so many infected tourists? This test and go is daft. They will catch covid on the place, arrive test negative then go around infecting everyone.

Thailand should just wait until omnicron comes down a bit or require 3 days of quarantine.

Or is there a possibility that people are negative on arrival and then catch covid in the days before their test on day 5/6?
