snoop1130 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Medical personnel take a break in between Covid-19 coronavirus testing in a drive-thru centre at a private hospital in Bangkok on January 8, 2021 after the Thai government imposed further restrictions due to the recent outbreak. Lillian SUWANRUMPHA / AFP Advisor to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) Dr. Udom Kachinthorn, claimed today (Friday) that actual daily infections at present may be around 100,000 and this may increase during and after the long Songkran holiday next week, as more people gather together. Official numbers of daily infections, confirmed by RT-PCR tests, have been recorded at more than 20,000 for weeks, but another sizeable group has also tested positive using rapid antigen tests. Dr. Udom’s estimated figure of 100,000 a day takes into account those who have not been tested and is based on the increasing number of patients on ventilators and with lung inflammations, as well as COVID-related deaths.

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted April 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2022 CCSA clearly don’t talk with the ministry of public health !!! https://www.thaipbsworld.com/maximum-of-50000-covid-19-daily-infections-predicted-after-songkran/ All irrelevant - the reality is probably far far greater and they are better of mentioning the % of population who have mild or asymptomatic Covid-19 (omicron) - but whats the point, no one will ever know... The only real metric of worth is hospitalisations with serious symptoms (in comparison with influenza hospitalisations) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartagenaWarlock Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) India has a very low count around 1,000 infection/day. Of course most people don't believe it but US CDC considers India as a level 1 country compared to most European countries at level 4, including UK, Germany, and France. It all depends on how many a country tests and reports and what CDC believes. Edited April 8, 2022 by CartagenaWarlock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The 50K and 100K numbers mentioned above are apples and oranges, two entirely different things.... The 50K number of cases was what the government has predicted the "official" daily new COVID case count, which is based on the limited testing they do, could rise to after the Songkran holidays. The 100K number is the number of actual daily new COVID infections that one public health advisor to the government predicted might really be occurring in the country, as opposed to the 25K or so daily "official" numbers that get reported lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 So, if my calculation is correct, then entire Thailand will have been infected in two months. Given the already administered 100+ million vaccinations, 2nd vaccinations and boosters agogo there is no reason whatsoever to do anything after 1 June ......... Just saying .......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The published numbers are a complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
