Wednesday Covid Update: 20,515 new cases; provincial totals

[Thaiger]

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration reported 20,515 new Covid-19 cases and a record high of 312 coronavirus-related deaths. Since the start of the pandemic last year, the CCSA has reported a total of 968,967 confirmed Covid-19 infections and 8,285 coronavirus-related fatalities. There are now 207,553 people in Thailand receiving treatment for the coronavirus, a decline over the past few days as the number of new recoveries, at 22,682 today, exceeds the number of new cases. Today’s high death count is partly due to provinces reporting the number of deaths over the past several days rather than just over a 24-hour […]

Someone should do a daily 'recovered' number to see how the land lies. I'd do it but I have a fruit bowl that needs urgent attention.

It's already there for you (if you read the story) 555.

Yeah, I know. I'm on about a running total etc. Detail, detail, detail, like we get about an unexpected death. Y'know, 'man has two Sinovac injections, survives' type of thing. Happy news.

love this numbers.. "leading by Bangkok" BKK had more than 5mln people, let's do my favorite percentage of infections thingy:

Bangkok: 0.073%

Samut Prakan: 0.099%

Samut Sakhon: 0.311%

Chonburi: 0.077%

To be fair @AlexPTY, those figures depend on more testing than they are doing. I said the other day that the reason cases per day is staying reasonably flat at around 20,000-25,000 is that’s because of the limitations of testing. Test ten times more and you’ll find 10 times more. The number they are having trouble in massaging are the deaths. The reality is that infection rates and rate of change will follow the same curve as all other nations. Action needs to be taken and vaccines need to be rolled out. That’s the way you change the shape of curves and get numbers falling.

i agree, but if i am sick and go to hospital, i am counted no mater what, i think it should be differentiation between asymptomatic and cases  and those required hospitalization. my percentage tells me that numbers of infections in BKK are slightly down this week day after day. This could be seen as an unfair advantage of vaccinations numbers in Bangkok or as indication that vaccination effort actually start working.

half-full vs half-empty. i am am a sarcastic optimist myself

Yes I agree with that. All such figures should be available to show whatever cut through the data people want.  The frustrating thing is that all of this data must be available.
