Thai government planning to adjust Covid-19 daily reports and focus on only serious hospitalizations and deaths vs. cases

 

National –

The Thai government is planning to adjust the daily reports of the Covid-19 infections as a test for two days a week to, according to them, reduce public anxiety as the rates of critical patients and deaths have become stable despite the number of daily infections that has surpassed ten thousand cases for four consecutive days.

Isn't that what a country would do if they were treating Covid-19 as endemic? To do that you would need to do away with the more serious restrictive measures like the emergency decree, face masks outside and on motorbikes, ensure all schools and bars are opened up, do away with the test a go go. These are the things that induce public anxiety. While all these measures are still in place and then deliberately holding back on releasing testing data will lead to more anxiety imo

 

Instead we have Anutin blabbering again today...........
