It’s all about relevance. This guy Kiattiphum Wongarajit hasn’t been in the news for a while so there is a bit of barking to get attention. “New wave” crap. Get over it. Deal with it when it becomes a problem. Get information and do your diligence like normal leaders

So they will publish a few of those secret documents every year? With every new wave, variant etcetera? This will keep them very busy,  cut, paste, adjust a few dates and publish.

No. He's right and it isn't anything new or unknown. Thailand's infection waves have mirrored the  waves of  North America and Europe, except that Thailand is about 2 waves behind.  He has done his due diligence because they are relying on the modeling of the  confirmed infections.  Nothing extraordinary with that too,

I’m very tired/bored with the constant fear mongering. Hopefully slowly Thai will wake up and stop being scared of something that in most cases is milder or no worse than the flu. Life is too short to live in fear of a virus that in most cases makes you sick for a few days and I’m starting to question why a vaccine can’t be made that lasts longer than a few months.

Between this and the other announcement that new COVID cases are at 50k daily (and Autin telling tourism leaders to raise their prices), you'd think Thai officials are actually trying to undermine the momentum to restart the tourism sector
