Question:

We keep get COVID positive test results!

But theses mean nothing if you do not tell us how many people were tested to get that result?eg:5000 tested in a province and 1000 positive is high %
eg:10000 tested in a province and 1000 positive 10% Better outcome!

Otherwise these figures are a lot of smoke & Mirrors?

They can get 200 positive results out of 400 people and stop testing?

Then they tell you they only tested 200 today in Province A?

Lets say they only tested 400 people in Province A

Half or 1 in 2 

These figures need how many tested or they are useless!

Totally agree mate. But in the 2 years this crap has been happening, it’s never ever happened. Transparency of data is anathema to the Thai authorities. If you give people the data they may start asking difficult questions like you just have. That will never do.

The good news is that the daily deaths may exceed the Songkran road fatalities this year. That should keep the trolls under the bridge for a little bit.
