WOW !!  I knew the numbers were a bit dubious because CCS stopped advising the number of daily tests conducted. But clearly as part of their required reporting to WHO, they do give the number of daily tests.  Thanks for that mate - adds even more to the argument we both share that case numbers could easily blow up in their face - just like is happening in Russia.  There is no 'official' reason for the massive jump in numbers in Russia, but there are pundits who are claiming it is due to the Govt allowing people to travel and return - under a system of corrupted and dubious vaccination certificates/tests.  I also note that the vast majority of the new cases in Russia entering hospital are unvaccinated.  I think we will soon see these numbers coming out worldwide - the ratio between vaccinated and unvaccinated both entering hospitals and those dying. 

The one thing that has never been fully explained or even discussed in any comparative way, is temperature. We all know that coronavirus thrive in colder weather. We also know that in places like the U.K. the experts say the reason why cases fall in summer is due to warmer weather, Windows being opened providing ventilation and people being outside more. All of this applies to countries like Thailand. Add to this the amount of sunshine/UV in Thailand, and you feel this must provide for an environment with far less transmission risk and ability of the virus to survive ? In July this year the U.K. had around 60% double vaccinated and deaths were down to around 25 a day.  It will be interesting to see what the next 3 to 4 months brings in Thailand.
