Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Apparently, there's no separate COVID cases news thread for today/Sunday -- the same as last Sunday... So I guess we'll update Sunday's reports here: ---------------------------- Despite officially reported new COVID cases falling for a second consecutive day, new COVID deaths, serious cases in hospital and total current COVID cases under care all rose Sunday to set new record highs for the year. With Sunday's update by the Thai Ministry of Public Health, daily COVID deaths now at 59 are five times their number at the start of the year. Serious COVID cases in hospital, now at 1,145, have more than doubled their level since the start of the year, and the same with COVID patients (366) requiring intubation to breathe. Officially reported COVID cases often drop during the weekend periods and early part of the week, only then to climb even higher later in the week. So it remains to be seen whether the recent case declines are early signs that the Omicron wave has peaked, or, just reflect a short-term lull before going even higher, as the MoPH this past week warned could well occur during March. RED numbers are daily highs for 2022. RED numbers are daily highs for 2022. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main For added context, during the peak of the Delta wave last fall, Thailand's daily COVID case count topped out at 23,418, but the numbers of serious hospital cases and intubated patients peaked above 5,600 and 1,100 respectively, and daily deaths topped 300 for a brief period.

Looking at the numbers today and really wondering if they, the Government, understand what is truly occurring around the country. Talking with some friends in the north it appears they are actually seeing more sick folks then they had with Delta, however the extensiveness of the illness is not hitting as hard as many that have been vaccinated already are only being hit with a 3 to 4 day infection. Just talked to my GF's mother in Myanmar where 90% of her village is sick and most have had it for 2 weeks or more as the majority are unvaccinated. If that is what is playing out amongst the unvaccinated here in Thailand I would venture to say that we will see the numbers continue to climb, at least anecdotally wise, since we have many untested sick individuals. With that being said, now is the time that the provincial administrative officials , Department of Disease control and the Government (MOPH) make a decision on travel for Songkran. If it has not already taken hold in many places letting folks move along will ensure that the Omicron sub variant B.2 encompasses the country. On another note, I am still awaiting for the Mor Chana app to notify me to upload my ATK test results I did on day 5 and today is day 8. Looks like this government has more problems with their apps.....just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - I suspect you probably saw my post yesterday about the BMA coming out with a new mobile app for COVID telemedicine and related stuff for the 11 BMA hospitals.... And I thought, just great... another mobile app that may or may not actually function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mor Chana App went from green to Orange when I uploaded my Thai Pass QR code last Sunday after I entered the country. The way I understand it by day 7 or so they are supposed to send a notification to the app for you to upload the photo of the test results. Still waiting as I said for that notification. Such a cluster, and as you said the BMA just added another app. Hopefully they had some true programmers create that app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the information above, and from your rudimentary observations, as well as what we know about Omicron being far less serious in its consequences, I think we can safely say that like most other south east Asian countries Thailand is in the grips of a widespread epidemic, wherein the actual case numbers are 100,000 a day at least, and active cases at any one point in time are perhaps 2 million upwards. The only shocking thing I've heard lately is that 2 million old people are not vaccinated. That's frankly, jaw-droppingly, shocking. Ultimately, that reflects extremely badly on the authorities imo.

Per your comment: It looks like 21% of the 60 and older population has yet to receive two shots (so-called fully vaccinated). Looks like about 2.7 million to me. The 2.2 million figure (17%) for seniors appears to relate to the number that haven't received ANY vaccination thus far. https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/photos/a.106455480972785/516469253304737/?type=3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
