Tuesday’s cases bring the total number of COVID-19 infections in Thailand to 3,575,398 with 24,958 deaths.

 

The news comes as authorities in the northeastern province of Surin plan to make it the first province that declares COVID-19 endemic disease, on April 1.

Woww. Numbers dropping sharply.

[ThailandRyan]

The dreaded dropping Monday and Tuesday case numbers while the intubated and those in serious condition keeps growing.  Tomorrow the numbers will increase as they always do on a Wednesday.  It is such a sham what this country does as far as testing goes.  So tired of the BS they espouse as far as Covid and the reports, when the numbers drop like this, as to how well Thailand is doing with its control of Covid.  The only Control is the numbers that they control.  Why is it so important for them to be seen as the best in the world when it comes to this, well one word can describe that - Ego...........what a joke and mockery they have become to the rest of the world who even with ten times the cases has decided to truly live with Covid, have a few regulations still in place and have opened up.  However, Thailand has decided that, even though they have espoused Learning to live with Covid many times is doing anything but.  Ok Rant over.......

Official new COVID cases reported on Tuesday fell for the third consecutive day to 21,678, but serious COVID hospitalizations (1,748) and intubations (691) both rose again to set new record highs for the year.

 

The government on Tuesday also reported 78 new COVID deaths, a decline of three from the prior day, and lower than the 83 deaths reported one week ago.

 

On the other hand, despite the recent declines in reported new cases, the tallies for new official cases and combined official and unofficial cases via positive ATK tests both remained slightly above their levels from one week ago.

 

In general, the data on serious COVID hospitalizations is likely to be a more reliable indicator of the state of Thailand's COVID pandemic, compared to case counts that depend on the government's limited testing efforts.

 

Serious condition COVID hospitalizations have now risen for the past three consecutive days, while the count of COVID patients requiring intubation to breathe has risen every day for the past week.

 

The count of COVID cases hospitalized in serious condition remains three-fold higher than the start of the year, while the count of intubated patients is almost five-fold higher.

 

 

 

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.

The bigger question is what if any effect these vaccines can or actually have on the current variants.  To say they are ready, after almost 2 years of saying they had created a vaccine, is just more lip moving without true information and published studies they are supposedly currently in the process of completing, stage 3 or ?.

Yes, precisely. Especially when one considers GSK is shortly to be in the game too, and they really have world-wide clout.

 

What we really need is either an updated vaccine, or even better one which is variant proof.  Mind you I am rather grateful to Pfizer for what I got.

I said same to the girlfriend, Thailand is becoming laughing stock. They have all these restrictions and rules pushed to the outside world but on reality most are been ignored. She went out to with her friends recently to a club. Went to take photo and was told by security cannot because it was so crowded and they worry if it's posted and tagged the authority will see they are not following COVID safe. Absolute joke. BIB know what's going on but turn a blind tea money eye.

Cases dropped sharply....... is written somewhere on the internet... Maybe they should stop testing that would really drop the cases....... I wonder what they would write if they started to test 150.000 people a day...

Thai Ministry of Public Health. Their latest day reports citing those stats are posted above with my original post.

 

[Caldera]

That's a mighty sharp drop, is there a test kit shortage I've missed reading about? Or did the random number generator malfunction?

[garygooner]

It's called the usual Tuesday fall.

Tomorrow we'll have the Wednesday rise!  TIT

Unable to give any reports for Prachuap Khiri Khan as none are being released and have not been since 25th March.

Makes me a tad suspicious as even though we are still in hospitel in Chumphon, we still get reports from the village. And they are not good!! By sounds of it, it is running rife through the adults, children and shops. All are apparently isolating from home. So I can only assume the figures are well up now!

As for us, I am feeling very much better with the throat back to normal. X-rays did show 4 spots on the lungs so it is a case of exercising and getting the oxygen back up from 95% to 100%. The wife has not really shown any signs at all!! And Marvin who is 2 and a bit years old, is fine apart from just a little croaky. All in all we have been lucky at the end of the day. Back to the village on Friday and isolate there away from the rest until it has passed through.

Hope you folks heal quickly. Take the time to rest before going back into a normal routine.  Stay safe.
