Pretty  sure it will have followed the behaviour as in other countries and omicron has likely displaced delta to the tune of over 80% by now.

Anutin is a joke. But the daily death rate in the UK is 3x higher and the authorities have declared the pandemic over.

 

In Thailand, most people ignore the remaining minor restrictions and life is pretty much back to normal

 

Time to kick project fear into touch and move on

Prayut says Covid-19 crisis ‘over soon’ if citizens cooperate

 

He added that 92 per cent of Covid-19 patients in Thailand have recovered, higher than the global average of 83 per cent.

 

"Also, Thailand is among the countries that have successfully reopened under Covid-19 prevention measures in line with the global situation, drawing foreign tourists worldwide," he said.

 

"Also, provincial government agencies have been told to ready expansion of field hospitals, prepare emergency plans and ensure there are no gatherings that violate Covid-19 prevention measures."

THAI NEWS REPORTS: There were 41 reported Covid-19 deaths yesterday. 73% were people aged 60 years and over. The age range was 3 months-104 years. The baby that died had no medical conditions

Thailand's official count of new COVID cases set a pandemic record  high for the second consecutive day, topping 24,000 (24,932) for the first time, and once again passing the prior high set during last fall's Delta wave (23,418).

 

Meanwhile, case tallies increased in every other major category as listed below, with new COVID deaths reaching a daily high for the year of 41 and COVID patients hospitalized in serious condition approaching the 1,000 mark.

 

Also, the MoPH reported positivity rate for RT-PCR COVID testing continued climbing upward, reaching a shockingly high 30% positive rate. The comparable rate at the beginning of this year was 7 percent.

For some added context, during the peak of the Delta wave last fall, Thailand's numbers of serious hospital cases and intubated patients topped 5,600 and 1,100 respectively. COVID deaths then had peaked at more than 300 per day for a brief time.

90% of the blame of the current wave of Covid, fall squarely on the tiny shoulders of the failed leader and his spectacularly incapable health minister.

 

So much could have and should have been done. They must be held responsible.

As I recall reading a month or so ago, they were expecting over 90% Omicron by end of January.

So, to all intents and purposes, it will be 100% Omicron by now.

So sad..  A life cut short before it hardly had begun.

 

Omicron is a killer, and not always just of the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions.

100% is exactly what they reported for Omicron in Thailand earlier this month.

 

Those still claiming Delta's at work here are grasping at delusional straws, because the current situation forces them to recognize Omicron for what it -- generally less severe than Delta, but still perfectly capable of killing people and making them seriously ill.

There dont have much what can do about omicron! Its going to spread anyway, we have seen that all over world. Yes government has done sht work but whit omicron they cant do much. If dont want lock down all people inside they homes. Bs talks and false report about spread is really misleading. Even testing not show real situation anymore so it has meaningless now. Many country now only take pcr test from people who work whit senior's or in health care.

I personally find it very difficult to believe that Delta Infections which were running at 40 % of all reported cases in Thailand in mid January have fallen to less than 10 % over a period of just 4 weeks.

I kind of guess that its better on the Worlds Eyes to report Omicron rather than Delta to aid the Tourist Industry

It was also stated by the Authorities a Day or so ago, that over 100,000 Children had Covid now.
