Local COVID Stuff - 727Sky - 04-23-2021 For the last couple of years my small town (25 minutes by car to town) has been basically almost covid free. About 3 weeks ago someone from Bangkok came to visit family after being in quarantine (Bangkok) for 14 days because they were an international traveler. After a few days with family they started having symptoms and went to the hospital. It was then declared they had covid. Within the week there were 32 more cases, then a few days later 56. 93 142, and today almost one month later there are 246 ! I believe these numbers as the Thais have not been stupid about declaring anything and everything else as covid. Most people wear mask even when riding a motorcycle and when you go into a store there is a book to sign with your phone number for contact tracing. I always think about all the people who touch the ink pen as I wash my hands with the provided antiseptic. Today I was informed that if caught outside in town without a mask it will be a fine by the police. I have heard anywhere from 2000 baht all the way up to 20,000 ! The good news is almost all of our covid cases recover after treatment in the hospital. Since all this started there have been less than 100 deaths attributed to covid which ain't bad for 68 million plus people. More people die on the roads in a couple of months than by covid ! Whatever this strain is seems to be more contagious than just about anything we have had pass through these parts. Quote:Thailand on Sunday recorded yet another daily record number of Covid-19 cases -- 1,767 -- bringing the accumulated number of confirmed cases since the pandemic began to 42,352. Two new deaths were reported, raising the toll to 101.https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2104447/covid-cases-top-2-000-a-day-4-deaths the latest death numbers have jumped to 121 Quote:The government on Friday reported four new deaths related to Covid-19 and a new daily high of 2,070 infections confirmed over the previous 24 hours.
