Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2022 Newly reported official COVID cases (24,252) and new COVID deaths (94) both increased on Wednesday over the prior day but remained below record high levels for the year, while serious COVID hospitalizations declined slightly from the prior day’s record high to 1,845. Total COVID cases under care in Thailand also declined for the day to 248,078, down from the year high of 259,126 set last Sunday. The 24,252 new official cases on Wednesday rose from the 21,088 reported Tuesday, but remained well off Thailand’s yearly high of 28,379 from last Friday. The 94 new COVID deaths reported Wednesday was an increase from the 91 reported Tuesday, but remained below the year high figure of 97 from last Sunday and Monday. Serious COVID cases in hospitals declined from the year-high 1,862 reported Tuesday to 1,845 on Wednesday. In a related item, the number of COVID patients hospitalized and requiring intubation to breathe rose by one to 782 on Wednesday, setting a new high for the year. Compared to data from one week ago, Wednesday's new cases count was lower, but daily fatalities, serious hospitalizations and total cases under care were all higher. All in all, Wednesday's report by the Ministry of Public Health was typical for a midweek COVID update, with mid-range new case numbers that usually rise later in the week heading into the weekend. 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. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main https://www.facebook.com/LiveNBT2HD/posts/3302962740025722 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Now the waiting game begins as far as those leaving the city of BKK and heading to the provinces. This morning my Car Park under the condo was filled with folks loading up their cars and getting ready to get out ahead of the masses this weekend. With today being a Government holiday it appears that some folks have decided to add two days of holiday and make it a 10 day mini vacation heading home to see Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa. Hope the roads stay safe and that the virus does not use this next 10 day period to reinforce itself by spreading freely to the masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everywhere already, so I hope there won't be much difference. 4 of my family's households have had it independently of each other. I put no stock in the official case numbers at all.

You're looking at it from the wrong viewpoint. It not spreading between everyone elongates the problem. About a year ago I was looking at it thinking they're never going to get to a herd immunity point as Delta simply doesn't spread fast enough, to get to that stage it's going to need 500k to a million infections per day for an extended period of time. Locldowns, etc disrupt, delay and prevent that process from playing out. With recent developments that's all changed, it's now moving fast enough that I reckon 80 to 90% of the population could become infected and recover in just 3 or 4 months. So long as the hospitals are not overloaded and can handle the 'load' then it's not really a problem.....until a new variant comes along which is different enough - like Omicron - then it will start again. The origins of Omicron are shrouded in mystery though. Edited April 6, 2022 by ukrules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mommysboy Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2022 Here's the link to Chonburi figures: https://thepattayanews.com/2022/04/06/chonburi-announces-1247-new-and-confirmed-cases-of-covid-19-and-two-new-deaths/ Ten people were listed as being in serious condition in Chonburi currently, either on a ventilator or with pneumonia. Three of them were not vaccinated. According to the Chonburi Department of Public Health, the vast majority of recent cases are mild or asymptomatic at 99.748 percent. The two new deaths were aged 41 and 50 with severe personal health problems and pre-existing conditions. Both of them were vaccinated. It's almost as if it were a different pandemic there and surely a cause for only limited concern! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
