snoop1130 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has warned that daily COVID-19 cases in Thailand could exceed 100,000 by the Songkran holiday in April under the worst-case scenario. The DDC noted that whether the infection level decreases or increases in the coming weeks depends on how strictly safety precautions are followed. The agency also urged the public to avoid group activities, work from home, postpone unnecessary travel, maintain high immunization rates, and follow VUCA (Vaccine, Universal Prevention, COVID-Free Setting, and ATK) procedures. The DDC said the most optimistic scenario would be for precautions to be fully enforced, which would keep daily infections at around 20,000 by the middle of this month. In a less hopeful forecast, it said daily cases would top 50,000 until the Songkran festival. In the worst-case scenario, daily infection rates could easily hit 100,000 by mid-April. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-03-01 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

mahtin Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) This is getting silly. It's clear that people are aware that there is no advantage in reporting mild symptoms. Even Liz 2 just carried on. Edited March 1, 2022 by mahtin omitted verb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 So the recent downtrend to just a little over 20k cases today is not to be believed then....oh the sarcasm as I write this. The scare tactics by this government spokes people is why as another OP put it "60% of Thai's are scared of Covid" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Yes, its rather what would after songkran. so far its promissed not to be cancelled. but i do wish it was. Rather already now, so people can plan accordingly, then just on the eve of mass exodus, as the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they're beginning to acknowledge the actual situation instead of working on numbers based on some small and arbitrary number of tests.
